Republicans Often Find Magnuson More Foe in Words Than in Deed (Editor's note: This isthe third of four article on the implications of the power policy dispute on the Pa- cine Nortnwest as it neaas jnio n wi pntnt i-lection year and a critical HSOn of Congress.) By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tjibune Correspondent Washington Much as the Republican administration Owould like to defeat Sen. War ren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.), 1hey have sometimes found him on the "partnership" powerissue to be more of a foe in word than in deed. The senator considers himself to be against the Eisenhower ad rrtjistration's "partnership" pol icy and yet it was largely be cause of his support tftat Con gress last year passed legislation j allowing for "partnership" con struction of the Priest Rapids projects on the Columbia River east of Yakima. So that project is to be builto by local utilities, rather than the federal govern ment. Jackson Supported Bill Sen. Henry M. Jackson CD Wash.) also supported the Priest Rapids bill, yet he says he op poses the new power policy of the GOP administration which seeks to encourage local utilities to take the placfof the federal government in building the ad ditional hydroelectric dams needed for energy in the Pacific Northwest. The apparent paradox of Mag nuson and Jackson supporting a "partnership" bill while oppos ing the "partnership" policy is explained by the fact that the Priest Rapids bill was put forth by traditional supporters of both 0 senators the organized public power groups of Washington state. The dam will be built by Grant County PUD. On th) other hand, Magnuson k LAXATIVE O that really does you good! frfffej You probably 'know this about Kellogg's All-Bran: it's the original wr3le bran cereal, scientifically milled to bring you natural food bulk in its most effective and ap Rstizing form. But did you know tnis? Kellogg's All-Bran served with milk is' a fine aid to fitness. This delicious, wholesome dish supplies 9 body-builders you need daily: Besides this, All-Bran can improve your "Intestinal Tone" (oftentjelow par when diets lack bulk), so essential to comfortable, ' regular elimination. So why not enjoy the natural benefits of these two(Qrie foods, All-Bran and milk, for fitness and regularity? Be sure you get the original, the one and only, Kellogg's All-Bran. It really works. Double your money back if a daily dish of All-Bran iind milk doesn't have you on schedule within 10 days. That's a promise from Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Michigan. and Jackson don't normally command political strength from the private power companies of the region who are back of the proposal to build John Day dam as a "partnership" undertaking. Neither do Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger (D- Ore.), who also oppose the John Day bill. Bipartisan Support The Priest Rapids bill sailed through Congress because it drew bipartisan support. Among Financier May Plead Guilty in FHA Case Portland '(U.R) An attorney for Harold J. Schnitzer Satur day indicated the 32-year-old Portland financier will plead either guilty, or no contest, to charges of lying to the Federal Housing administration. . - Attorney Donald McEwen, who appeared before U. S. Dis trict Judge William East. Friday to request permission for his client to leave the state, said Schnitzer had signed a waiver to transfer the charges against him from Salt Lake City to Portland. Schnitzer, arrested in Port land last October by federal au thorities, was indicted by a. fed eral grand jury in Salt Lake City on charges of representing fictional engineering and legal costs in obtaining an FHA in sured loan. The Portland financier was engaged in constructing a hous ing project at Hill Airbase, near Salt Lake City. Schnitzer was convicted of second degree perjury at Farmington, Utah, last March as a result of civil actions involving the project. Schnitzer was free on $20,000 bail. Eight Ships at Sea After Union Dispute San Francisco (U.RK-Eight ships which were tied up in Cal ifornia ports by the Marine Firemen's Union in a one-week dispute with the Pacific Mari time Association were at sea Saturday. Five of the vessels sailed from San Francisco, two from Los Angeles and one from Port Hueneme near Oxnard, Calif. The union agreed shortly aft ernoon Friday to release its men to work ships "effective im mediately" after arranging ne gotiations with the PMA. Sam Bennett, vice-president of the union, said he agreed to the release after William Clark, PMA vice-president, "gave as surances of good faith and indi cated the PMA would enter ne gotiations with us and let us present our case." The dispute arose over the firemen's demand for parity with AFL cooks and sailors in the matter of vacation pay. its backers were Reps. Hal Holmes (R-Wash.), Don Magnu son (D-Wash.), Sen. Guy Cordon (R-Ore.), Magnuson and Jackson. Sen. Wayne Morse came out against it, explaining he would be consistently, against all "part nership" bills. The John Day "partnership" bill, on the other hand, is mired in dispute. It has yet to attract the support of a Democratic law maker from the Northwest. Even some Republicans, like Rep. Rus sell, Mack (R-Wash.), have ques tioned it. Morse's stand on the admin istration's power policy under went its severest test of con sistency when the municipally owned Eugene Water and Elec tric Board of his home town came up with a plan for "part nership" construction of Cou gar dam, a relatively small proj ect that Congress had previous ly authorized for federal con struction mainly for Willamette Valley flood control purposes. More Opposed Quite the opposite of Magnu son, Morse decided after long weighing the issue to oppose it. He followed up by successfully blocking a House-passed Cougar "partnership" bill which Sen. Cordon all but got through the Senate last year. The nub of all this is that every proposal for "partnership" dam building which has run in to tough opposition has been stalemated in Congress, almost entirely because of the strength the Democrats enjoy at present by holding all four of the Sen ate seats that belong to Oregon and Washington. To put their power policy in to practice, Republicans who back the administration : must defeat either . Morse or Mag nuson, if not both, in the sena torial elections for which both sides are now preparing rip snorting campaigns. (Finally the Northwest must decide, then unite.) Suggests Coos Bay Times Present DA With Information Coos Bay (U.R) Charles A. Sprague, publisher of the Oregon Statesman at Salem, Saturday sugested that if the Coos Bay Times has evidence of law viol ations in Coos county it present the information to District At torney John Pickett in his office at Coquille. The former Oregon governor said that if the district attorney refuses or fails to act on the in formation, the Times could start a recall or take the material to the circuit judge and ask him to present it to the grand jury. Sprague's suggestions were in reply to a 1500-word telegram sent by Sheldon F. Sackett, pub lisher of the Times, to several newspaper publishers and editors asking for ways to force an in vestigation into afairs of Coos county communities. The Times has asked Gov. Paul Patterson to order Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton , to conduct an investigation into alleged law violations in the Coos Bay area. Sprague's reply was sent to Sackett at San Francisco where the West Coast publisher and radio station operator is form ulating plans to start Demcratic tabloid newspapers in Portland and the San Francisco bay area, Pastor Survives Exposure, Shock -Ontario (U.R) An Ontario church official was in serious condition in a local hospital suf fering from shock and exposure after his car ' plunged over a cliff near Drewsey, Ore. The Rev. Pat J. Meskill was injured at about 8:30 Thursday night when his car fell some 400 feet over an embankment on the west side of Drinking Water Pass, some 87 miles west of here. The Rev. Meskill, assistant pastor of the Blessed Sacrament church, crawled and climbed up the sheer face of the cliff in a blinding snowstorm to reach the highway after freeing himself from his automobile. The ve hicle was demolished. Two Boise, Ida., logging truck drivers spotted Rev. Mes- kill's hand protruding above the precipice, and hauled him to safety. He was taken to a ranch near Juntura for emergency treatment, and brought to On tario by ambulance Friday morn ing. One man who viewed the crash scene said the Rev. Mes- kill's automobile apparently rolled over nine itmes as it tumbled down the cliff. Ducks Become Nuisance; To Be Christmas Gifts Burlington, N.C.

Wheat Growers League that USDA officials would like to see repealed the requirement that export movement of 50 per cent of total farm commodities be carried in U. S. ships. If the shipping industry needs a subsidy it should be paid di rectly instead of "through the hides of United States farmers," Peterson said. He also told the wheatmen that livestock raisers were be coming increasingly alarmed over the heavy buildup of feed grain supplies which they fell will be converted to increased meat production and downward prices for poultry and livestock.
