Warren Magnuson Emerges One Of Senate's Most Powerful Men Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribun Correspondent Washington A Pacific North west Senator, Warren G. Magnu son (D-Wash.), has quietly e m e r g ed as one of the prowerful fig ures of this 84th Congress. He has done it via the time -honored route that has seen him be c o m e chair- Robt- smitli man ui one ui the Senate's major standing com mittees. Interstate and Foreign Commerce. As such, Magnuson has become "Mr. Transporta tion" the Senate's recognized specialist in this field. In the first 10 of his 12 years in the Senate, Magnuson spec ialized to a great extent in mari time and fishing matters, reflect ing the dominant interests of the Puget Sound area. But the past two years, during which period he advanced to his committee chairmanship, have brought Magnuson in close touch with the entire field of transporta tion. The result is that he has be come the sponsor of various bills cutting broadly across the field. Some of them are already on the law books as accomplishments, while others are still enroute through both chambers on the regular legislative course. Increased Airport Grants Most significant act already passed is the federal airport act, under which local airport proj ects would get increased grants for expansion and improvements from the federal government. In hearing on this bill, Mag nuson's committee discovered that the Civil Aeronautics Board had terminated air service at 88 cities during the previous year due to inadequate airport facil ities. The Civil Aeronautics Ad ministration agreed that airport building was woefully inade quate nationally, especially with the use of air travel increasing so rapidly and with the jet age fast approaching. After getting the airport bill through, Magnuson pushed to enactment -a bill giving West Coast Airlines permanent au thority to serve as the North west's major feeder airline. West Coast said this would allow it to finance improvements, buy new equipment and extend its local service. ; SmIcs Approval Now Magnuson is trying to gain approval of a similar bill applying to the small airlines that fly between the Northwest and Alaska Pacific Northern and Alaska Airlines. He is con vinced they are right in con tending their present temporary authority hampers their ability to finance improvements. Another measure Magnuson hopes to get through before Con gress adjourns would authorize the president to establish an Alaskan Rail and Highway Com mission to map out the most feasible direct rail and road routes between Washington state ' and Alaska. This bill passed the Senate last year and is now in the House. More recently, the senator has gone into the railroads' peren nial problem the western freight car shortage. After hear ings in which western Oregon shippers pleaded for some kind of help, Magnuson agreed to sponsor a plan by which the Interstate Commerce Commis sion would map out a long-range program aimed at curing the car shortage. Magnuson is also pushing leg islation that would increase the Southern Oregon Health Service 16 S.

If the Washington state solon can get the bill through before adjourn ment, it would be a major vic tory for the West in the trans portation field. That's just what Magnuson is setting his sights on, to help prove up his claim to the title of "Mr. Transportation" of the Senate. By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent a San Fernando Valley house wife who had bought some. In her living room sat two of the seven, Dick Miller, a young, eager-looking recording expert, and Gayne Myers, a dignified, white-haired mathematics teach er. Space People Speak Myers explained recordings of six lectures by men from other worlds were made in two ways. On some of the space people spoke via Miller's voice. To clear this up, Myers explained Miller's larynx was used "as a trans mitting medium since he had been sensitized in 1954 by the space people." A space ship came down four and" a half miles from Detroit and I was on board for 12V4 hours," Miller said, looking me right in the eye. "I talked to these people a crew of five, all from different planets. Now in my mind I hear these voices from outer space in their own tongue. Somehow when I speak it gets translated into Eng lish." Technique Related - Other tape recordings were made in a more amazing way. At the direction of the space people, Miller said, he left an unopened box of tape on his dining room table. When he re turned from work, the space men had recorded a lecture "dif ferently on the tape without the cardboard receptacle being op ened." Myers played one of those remote-control recordings for me. A space man named Mon-ka told the story of what happened to a lost planet named Mal Dek. As a record critic I made two observations: Mon-Ka is a long-winded bore. Also, Mon-Ka must have learned English from mathematician Myers as their voices sounded alike.

The Grange membership and community as a whole are grate ful to the Prestons for offering a location that has met with the approval of so many, as it is a compromise between extremi ties, and a means of keeping unity in the Grange member ship. A well has been drilled on the property and a flow of water found to adequately supply in door needs, as well as to afford landscaping. It is hoped that soon a building will be complet ed that will offer much in enjoy ment and beauty and to stand testimony to those passing by of the ability and character existing in this Upper Applegate com munity.
