ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent (Editor's note: This Is the first of four articled on the implications of the power policy dispute on the Pacific Northwest as it heads into an important election year and a critical session of Congress.) Washington The upcoming election campaign of Sens. Wayne Morse of Oregon and Warren j3. Magnuson of Wash ington are expected to make the Pacific Northwest- the battle ground for one of the fiercest political struggles in the nation this coming year. What will give these twin sen atorial campaigns unusual na tional administration's "partner ship" power policy. That this issue is bound to dominate the electioneering in both Columbia valley states stems from the will ingness indeed, the anxiety of both sides to make it the big issue. O Partnership Policy This will be so even if these two Democraticc senators are not challenged by the Republi can governors of their respec tive states. It will simply be all the more so if Gov.

Langlie takes on Magnu son, for both governors strong ly support the administration on this controversial issue. In all of the changes of dom estic policy announced by the Eisenhower administration after taking office early in 1953, none not even the explosive farm issue has marked a more de cisive change from the past 20 years than the "partnership" el ectric power policy. Under it, Dynamite Believed Roseburg Explanation Roseburg (U.R) Possible explanation of an explosion that rocked central Douglas county last Saturday night came today after police and "sheriff's offic ers questioned several youths re gardingtheft of dynamite. Officers believed about 62 sticks of dynamite, plus more than 100 dynamite caps, were touched off in an abandoned shack not far from Roseburg. The resulting blast was heard for 15 to 20 miles around Rose burg and telephone calls were received from throughout cen tral Douglas county. Authorities said there appar ently was no relation between Saturday's blast and the earth rumble heard throughout the area Tuesday night. They were still investigating that noise.

While this new policy has been academic for most areas of the country where private util ities have generated and distrib uted all power, it has become very real in the two well-defined areas toward which it was aimed: the TVA area, served entirely by government-built projects, and the Pacific North west, supplied mainly by such federal river projects as Grand Coulee, Bonneville, and Mc Nary dams. -Dixon-Yates Championed In the TVA area, the adminis tration championed until only recently the Dixon-Yates power contract, under which a utility syndicate would have built a large steam plant near Memphis supplying the TVA system indi rectly with a new block of en ergy. Simultaneously, plans for a government steam plant TVA wanted to build were scrapped. In the midst of a big politi cal fight over the Dixon-Yates contract, the city of Memphis said it would build its own steam plant, which led the administra tion to cancel the Dixon-Yates contract. The government has since decided the contract il legal all along because of a con flict of interest involving Adolphe Wenzell, who was ad visor to both the administration and the private banking firms involved. But while this contract has caused the Republicans political embarrassment, the net of it is that the power policy of the administration prevailed to halt federal construction of new fa cilities for TVA in favor af a locally-financed plant. Solid Line of Opposition ' Not so in the Pacific North west where four Democratic Senators have . forme da solid line of opposition in the Sen ate to the new power policy.

Hence the Republican effort to knock off either Morse or Magnuson or both obtains its special significance for 1956. For unless the GOP can win one of these two Senate seats, the ad ministration's "Partnership" pol icy for the Northwest will likely go the way of the proposed Co lumbia Valley Authority (CVA) and other loudly advocated schemes which were stymied where the final decisions are always made in the halls of Congress.

(International) Multiplication Can Determine Eventual Height of Youngster Bv DELOS . SMITH United Press Science Editor New York U.R) A math ematically minded baby doctor has figured out that if you meas ure the height of a two-year-old boy and then multiply by two, you'll know how tall he will be when he is 18. Weigh him and multiply his weight by five, and that will be his weight . at 18. Or take his "pelvic breadth" - multiply by two, and you'll have the width of his beam when he attains the status of young adult. For girl babies, the mathe matics of growth and develop ment as calculated by Dr. Irving Kowaloff of Brooklyn, were a little different. For height and weight they were two and five times height and weight at eigh teen months. For "pelvic breadth" it was the same as for boys twice the width at two years. Not Precisely Accurate Dr. Kowaloff did not claim that these multiplications would be precisely accurate in every case he claimed only "a high degree of probability." "In the studying and teaching of the subject of growth and de velopment," he said in reporting to the technical journal of the Medical Society of the State of New York, "one is impressed by the many regularities of the process of development in both the physical and psychologic spheres." He needed only basic statistics from which to work out formu las which would be generally applicable. The old statistics on the heights and weights of grow ing children were too old they were taken 35 years ago, and since then the average height and weight of young adults have increased. Used University Statistics He found what he needed in statistical studies of large num bers of children of the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Iowa. Having ar rived at the babyhood ages when height, weight, and pelvic width were one half to one fifth that of eighteen year olders, he tried out his formulas oh the combined statistics.

It's So easy ... so thoughtfull GEORGE E. WHITE HEARING AIDS 131 West Main, Medford Of the boys, 97 per cent were 37.2 inches tall at two years. By multiplying that by two, he predicted that these 97 per cent should have been 74.4 inches tall at 18. Actually, the 97 per cent were 73.9 inches tall at 13. So on height, his formula was off only one half inch. On weight predicting for boys, the formula was off four and one- half pounds for 97 per cent of the subjects. The closeness of his predictions for height and weight of girls and pelvic width for boys and girls with what actually happened, was comparable. ""if" the new . miracle brain ELNA No diuts to set.
