Congress Indicates Generous
Mood on Public Road Spending

, By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Congress gave
its first indication this past week
-that it is in a generous mood on
public works
" spending a
- sign that au
gurs well for
the multitude
of Pacific
Northwest
projects listed
in Presid e n t
Eisenhow e r ' s
budget.
rr i i
A. Robt. Smith a e signal
came from the House of Repre
sentatives, traditionally the more
frugal of the two houses when
it comes to government expendi
tures. By an overwhelming ma
jority the House beat down an at
tempt to cut back on flood con
trol planning funds for a score
of eastern projects.
Debate on the issue indicated
that this year many eastern law
makers will reverse their cus
tomary tendency to try to whittle
down the amount of money that
is annually appropriated for
projects in the West. Fo rthis
year' they have a good many
projects at stake themselves.
Urgent Projects
At issue was a request from
President Eisenhower for funds
for urgent projects in the North
east, particularly the areas hard
hit by last summer's floods
New England, New York and
Pennsylvania. The House Appro
priations Committee, in sending
the bill to the floor,' had recom
mended that it be trimmed down
by some $3,000,000.
; Risiii.? to oppose this commit
.tee action was one easterner
after another, Republican and

Democrat alike, each extolling
the virtues of river control.
Capping the chorus of voices
thatscalled for the full amount
was Rep. Joseph W. Martin, the
Republican leader from : Massa
chusetts.' -' " - "
"President Eisenhower be
lieves not only in assistance for
New England, but also for the
people of California and other
sections of the country that have
been grievously hit by storm and
flood," declared Martin.
"I am surprised that there
should be any opposition to this
bill which is tagged in its title
as. an urgent bill and which is
here at the request of the presi
dent of the United States," added
Martin.
Supporters Outnumbered 1
The few who supported the
committee were so badly out
numbered that they didn't even
call for a show of hands, much
less a roll call vote on the ques
tion. While this was a relatively
minor ,appropriation bill com
pared with ' the major public:
works bill that will come up
later this spring5, it drew biparti
san support from every section
of the country.
And while it was of greatest
importance to Northeastern con

Plan Formation of
Medford Barracks
An organizational meeting for
a Medford barracks of Veterans
of World War I will be held
Thursday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. in
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
hall.

their wives are invited, accord
ing to Grants Pass Barrack Com
mander Lee S. Turner, who is in
charge of the meeting. ,
Others assisting Turner are
Harry Tannehill, Charles Kretsch
mer and Elmer E. Curry, all
Grants Pass barracks members.

jective of the group as seeking
pensions for veterans over 60
years of age. The organization
has 550 barracks throughout the

Gov. Smith Reappoints
Ontario Man To Board
Salem (U.R) - Gov. Elmo
Smith has 1 reappointed Dr.
Charles E. Palmer of Ontario
as a .member of the State Board
of .Medical Examiners for a five-
year term beginning Feb. 29.
; Dr. Walter L. Hay of Astoria
was appointed to the State
Chiropodists' Examining Board
to succeed Dr. E. P. Delaney of
Salem, resigned.
leaders in economy moves aimed
at western public works devel
opment, these same lawmakers
will have much at stake in the
big civil functions appropriation
bill which contams funds tor
their projects as well as those for
the Pacific Northwest. .
The indication, then, is that
Congress will quite likely go
along with most or all of the
administration's budget requests
for new resource development
projects.
Of principal concern to the
Medford area are the budget re
quests concerning funds for con
struction ot tne xaient envision
of the Rogue River irrigation
project and rehabilitation of ex
isting forks. The president asked
$2,400,000 to start work on Tal
ent and $585,000 for improvements.
