(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

ship" power policy. That this
issue is bound to dominate the
electioneering in both Columbia
valley states stems from the will

of both sides to make it the
big issue. O

This will be so even if these

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.

the Republicans have sought to
make a basic turn away from
federal financing of river devel
opment and federal power gen
erally toward privately financed
power projects of investor
owned power companies.
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. To
date they have been able to
block every "partnership"
scheme to which they were op
posed. GOP supporters ac

face of this Democratic oppo
sition. 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

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. '

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.
