ROBERT SMITH MaU Tribune Correspondent WashingtonSecretary of In terior Fred seaton has approved the plan for construction of a high federal tjam at Pleas ant Valley site on the Sneke river down stream from. Hetls Canyon, ac cording to a syndicated col- Kt siiu, as I. Stokes.'

U.R) The Ore gon Committee for Hungarian Refugees said today that the first Hungarians destined for Oregon should arrive at Port land? International' Airport not later than Dec. 7. . .

T!e Oregon committee has as sumed the 'responsibility for transporting the victims of So tet brutality frorh,.New. Jersey to-. Oregon. "Gov. Elmo Smith has appoint ed former State Sn. Phil Hitch cock of Portland to coordinate promotions and " campaigns for the Hungarians in Oregon. because it involves a federal investment estimated at nearly S275 million. Seaton in Virgin Islands No comment of Stokes' re port could be obtained from Sea ton Friday, for he is now in the Virgin Islands. He said before leaving he would probably an nounce his decision within the nex't week or so. Administration approval of Seaton's proposal would mark a significant change in the power policy followed by the interior department the past four years, for it would conflict with the plans of private utili ties for development by smaller dams of that stretch of the Snake on the Oregon-Idaho border. A high dam at Pleasant Val ley would mean the elimination of the Little Hells Canyon proj ect planned by Idaho Power Company and earlier approved by the Federal Power commis sion and interior department during the term of ex-secretary Douglas McKay. Rules Out Private Dam A high federal dam would also rule out a lower private dam at Pleasant Valley which a combine of private utilities is now seeking an FPC license to build. Stokes said Seaton told him in the interview that he is troubled by the prospect of the utility combine obtaining all the sites on the Middle Snake. BOB ELLIOTT NAMED San Diego, Calif.

Eastland (D-Miss.) opened his hearing on Communism in Ha waii today in the face of a threat ened protest demonstration by Harry Bridges' longshore union. Bridges, president of the Inter national Longshoremen' i and Warehousemen's Union, has rec ommended that the union's 24, 000 members in Hawaii hold a one-day work stoppage today. Such a stoppage would tie up Hawaii's basic sugar, pineapple and longshore industries. Jack Hall, regional director of the union, also has hinted all dock workers might stay off their jobs for the duration o'f the hearings. Honolulu police were station where the hearings were sched ed at the governor's palace, where the hearings were sched uled to get underway at 11:30 a.m. (pst). The union declined to disclose in advance its plans for any ac tion. However, its previous plan to march en masse on the palace apparently was thwarted by a city ruling which rejected a re quest for' a "union meeting" at the same time as the hearing.

It's as simple as thai." Is That So? In buying a good horse or "investing" in a fast one, know ledgeable horsemen will tell you there are certain essentials to look for unless, of course, you have unlimited funds. Naturally in presenting the "perfect" horse there must be some latitude, depending upon the class of work required, but in the main the picture of what makes up the "good, sound" 11-30-56 horse has been built up over the years, the accepted good or bad points having been pretty well proved. On this basis then, let's see what a real expert has to say- presenting Col. W. S. Codring ton. author of Know Your Horse. The Head: Wide between the eyes which allows for a greater brain capacity. There should be a good width between the branches of the lower jaw a narrow space may predispose the horse to unsoundness of wind. An intelligent head and kind eye go with it.1 The Ears: Well - placed and alert. Drooping ears are often a sign of sluggishness. For those who like speed in horses, a tip: long ears are often associated with fast runners. The shoulders: A good sloping shoulder from the point to the withers. Within reason, the great er the slope the more efficient the shock-absorber to the fore limbs. Tip: the more upright the shoulders, the shorter the stride. Need I say more? , The Back: This is a con troversial point: sprinters tend to have very short backs; most "stayers" for the long races, tend to have a long back. Seeing that the rider's weight is carried on the back, the short er it is within reason, the strong er it should be. But many know ledgeable horsemen contend that they prefer a long back in some horses. This divergence of opin ion may perhaps be explained this way: a long-backed horse covers more ground per stride and therefore o-er a distance the effort is less. Against this, a short back is stronger and can respond better to the quick con certed ef'irt required in a sprinter. The majority of horse owners prefer a nice short back. The Loin (Rear Back) and Quarters: Obviously because this is the powerhorse the propell ing power, they should be strong. Strong, straight quarters reach ing well down in to the second thighs are best. Beware of the plump, rounded rump, known as appley quarters. Girth and Ribs: long and well sprung ribs provide a large cavity which houses the heart and lungs a good development in both being essential for a sound constitution. In a good horse, measurement at the girth should exceed that of height. Forelegs: the expression "both legs coming out of the same hole" although an exaggeration aptly describes a narrow-chested horse and indicates a restricted chest cavity. Also with a narrow chest, the forelegs will be closer together and be more likely to cause brushing. Forearm: A weak forearm de notes lack of muscle. As some of By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist ' the muscles in this area activate the principal flexor .tendons, a weakness here will mean weak back tendons. i Hind Legs: The second thigh should be strong, as the muscu lar portion of the tendons, act ivating the hock and foot, or iginate in this area. As for the hocks, if they turn inwards when viewed from the back cow hocked, if we may apply this expression it is a sign of weak ness, whereas the reverse is often a sign of strength. With these precepts you won't become an expert horse-buyer overnight, but with experience you'll soon be able to "spot" some of the basic qualities which make up a sound horse.
