a gem!
Jim can't get over how I manage
to keep the house looking like a
million and still have time for the
many things I like to do. My
secret is simply finding faster,
easier ways to do my housework.
Take my wood floors. I used to
spend a full day scrubbing and
waxing. Then plop into bed all
worn out. Now I use Bruce
Cleaning Wax and it's almost a
snap. Bruce cleans and waxes in
one easy operation. Takes me only
half the time and effort. And my
wood floors never looked better.
Have you tried Bruce Cleaning
Wax? You'll like it So will
your husband!
Incidentally, Pre found other Bruc

By A. ROBERT SMITH
Washington The senate in
terior committee Tuesday
unanimously approved the nom-
Vf'Tji ination of Fred
J. CcllUIl CIS
secretary of
the interior,
after subject
ing him to a
90 - m i n u t e
by west
e r n senators
who dominate
the committee.
Questioned on many of the
varied issues raised during the
tenure of ex-Secretary Douglas
McKay, Scaton threaded his way
carefully, frequently begging un
familiarity, but gaining the com
mendation of most every sena
tor who quizzed him.
On the electric power issue,
which dominated the hearing,
Seaton said that he "absolutely"
favored the public preference
clause by which public bodies
receive first call on federally
generated energy. Asked if he
would recommend any change in
it, Seaton said:
' No, I see no reason to change
it. I favor it. I grew up in an
area that believed in the prefer
ence clause."
Refers To Nebraska
He was referring to his home
state of Nebraska, which has no
private power companies.
Seaton reiterated his support
for the "partnership" power pol
icy of President Eisenhower and
said, as he understood it, this
policy meant co-operation be
tween the federal government
and local utilities, both private
and public, for development of
hydroelectric projects.
"That's just the truest kind of
Americanism," said Seaton, "be
cause it assures the maximum of
local control."
This sparked a lengthy discus
sion led by Sen. Joseph C.
O'Mahoney (D.-Wyo.) of whether
many private power commies
are in fact locally contro'ed. He
focused his attention on Idaho
Power company, which he noted
was incorporated in Maine, held
its annual stockholders meetings
at Augusta, Me., and whose 10
top stockholders were all east
ern investment and insurance
firms.
Sen. Henry M.. Jackson, CD
Wash.) asked Seaton whether he
thought he could have "an open
mind" on Hells canyon.
"Yes, but I do have to take
cognizance of the fact that the
administration has taken a stand
in the matter," he responded.
Hells Issue Debated
This referred to the expressed
opposition of the administration
to legislation authorizing a high
federal dam at Hells canyon,
since the federal power commis
sion last year issued Idaho Pow
er company a license to build
three smaller projects in this
stretch of the Snake river.
' For some reason or another,"
observed Seaton, "congress has
not seen fit to enact the Hells
canyon billJ"
The Hells canyon bill is ex
pected to come up for a vote in
this committee shortly..
Delegations Urge
Road Improvements
In Specific Regions
Portland !U.P.) The Ore
gon State Highway commission
wound up a two-day session here
yesterday by hearing delegations
urge highway expenditures at
specific locations in the state.
One delegation representing
the Oregon Coast association, ap
peared before the commission to
renew its plea for work on high
way U.S. 101.
Charles Ross, Tillamook, the
chairman of the association's
highway committee, urged con
struction of a "safe" highway
through Curry county.
Should Have Priority
Otto Effcnbcrger, Tillamook
county judge and president of
the association, told the com
mission that the Garibaldi-Bay
City link should have priority in
any funds allotted.

"Your Franchise Dealer for Jackson County"
MARV,
The delegation asked the com
mission how much money it ex
pects to spend on the coast high
way when federal money be
comes available.
Ben R. Chandler, Coos Bay,
chairman of the c6mmission,
pointed out that only highways
in the state that will qualify di
rectly under the federal inter
state program would be 99 and
30 east of Portland.
Money the state might 'other
wise allot to these two highways,
.may become available for other
highway projects in the state-, he
said.
Clatsop Pleas - ,
A Clatsop county group ap
peared to present its plea for
the "Smith Point Project." The
proposed project entails straight
ening the highway between As
toria and Warrenton and con
struction of a bridge over the
Youngs bay.
Francis Harrington, represent
ing the Clatsop county develop
ment league, told the commis
sion that a unanimity of opinion
in the Astoria area was lacking
in regard to the Young bay
bridge and urged tha,t first con-
! sideration be given to the high
way project between Astoria
and Warrenton.
On the broad question of
water rights which was raised
by Sen. Frank Barrett, (R-Wyo.)
Seaton repeated his long-standing
belief that western states
should control water rights. But
he said there have been some
"constitutional question" raised
by some members of the Eisen
hower administration, which has
been split on this issue.
No Fight Necessary
"'The attorney general (Her
bert Browncll Jr.) feels differ
ently," declared Sen. Barry
Goldwater, (R-Ariz.). "W o u 1 d
you be willing to stand up
against him and fight for the
West?"
Seaton said he thought the
issue could be settled without
any fight being necessary.
Barrett observed that next
week the committee expects to
vote on his water rights bill and
recalled that McKay had given
this legislation strong support.
He said to Seaton: "I take for
granted that you- feel the same
as Secretary McKay?"
"That is right, senator," re
plied Seaton.
When Sen. Richard L. Neu
berger (D-Ore.) asked whether
he favored consolidation of all
government forestry agencies.
Seaton said he hadn't gone into
that matter. He gave the same
tions about whether he would
review McKay's policy concern
ing oil leasing of wildlife refuge
lands. He said, also, that he
hadn't read the mining act and
didn't know whether he favored
tightening its provisions con
cerning timber allowances that
go with a mining patent.
Favors Indian Education
Goldwater asked Seaton
whether he wished "to keep the
Indians as museum pieces" or
try to promote their education
and assimilation into society.
Seaton said he would choose the
latter. He told Goldwater he
favored the national park im
provement program, called
"Mission 66," launched under
McKay.
Seaton told Sen'. Alan Bible,
(D-Nev.) that next year he hoped
interior could send to congress
a recommended long-range min
ing incentive program. He said
he hoped to send up bills imple
menting the administration's
water policy before congress
adjourns.
Seaton was most forceful in
stating his support for Alaskan
statehood, which the president
has not supported. He told the
committee that if a good state
hood bill were approved he
would "do my best to convince
the president and I don t think
response to Neuberger's ques- that would be much of a job.'

bank protection program in the
