Enforcing Highway
Laws Still Debated
Cave Junction Although
traffic fines and bails were
lower in Cave Junction in 1956
than in 1955, highway law en-
I forcement here is still a much
i debated subject among members
' of the city council and towns
; people.
Mayor Carrol Banks and a re
presentative of the state high
' way department last week sur
jveyed' highways leading into
I Cave Junction to determine what
i warning signs, if any, could be
placed outside the city limits.
The highway official indicated
that a 45-mile per hour zone
north of Cave Junction was not
warranted, and that nothing
could be done about the southern
approach until the new realign
ment of Highway 199 had been
completed. Work on the four
miles t)f construction just south
of the city will extend into next
year.
Banks said he has written this
week to the Oregon State Life
savers commission, asking in
formation on "Drive Safely"
signs, giving the name and pop
ulation of the town, to be placed
i near the city limits.
Although Cave Junction has
in past years gained the reputa
tion of being a "speed trap,"
Banks believes the number of
traffic violations stemmed large
' ly from the town's being situat
ed on an open highway with no
: populated areas on either side.
1 The traffic question will be
i further discussed at- the city
' council meeting Jan. 14.
Portland (U.R) Andrew F.
Jiiras, an employee of the State
Welfare Department since 1937,"
has been appointed as assistant
state welfare administrator.

' elude for investigation all feasi
ble projects: to abandon present
prejudiced methods of eliminat
; ing from consideration projects
; opposed by certain private util
! ities and other groups; to pro
I duce an objective economic-en-
gineering report, leaving it to the
: Congress and the States to decide
j what projects should be built.
The Army Engineers should be
directed to return to an engineer
ing program for full river de
velopment. It is up to the Con
gress to make political decisions,
not the Army Engineers. The
: public is entitled to an Army En
' gineers report that will set forth
! the soundest, full development
program for the welfare of the
i future generations. The welfare
; of the future, rather than proj
j ects for private utilities result
; ing from underdevelopment of
; our rivers, is the good to be
sought."
J Project Eliminated
I Unfortunately, in the present
review, the Engineers have elim
inated from consideration proj
ects which the Corps believes
"contraversial" or unlikely of
accomplishment. For example, it
has omitted Paradise dam in
Montana which would have an
ultimate capacity of 1,088,000
kilowatts and 6,520,000 acre feet
of upstream storage, primarily
because of conflicting "partner
ship" applications. Instead, it is
studying grossly inadequate al
ternatives proposed by the Mon
tana Power Company. One, Buf
falo Rapids Project No. 2, would
have only 80,000 kilowatts and
slight storage. The other alterna
tive to Paradise and No. 2, is
Buffalo Rapids Project No. 4,
with one-third the prime power
capability of Paradise and 868,
000 acre feet approximately
one-eighth of Paradise's storage.
Our region cannot afford the
permanent underdevelopment
that loss of high Hells Canyon
and Paradise would mean.
It is my hope that the Admin
istration will restudy its posi
tion and the physical facts of the
Columbia Basin and join in a
program that will mean rapid
progress on multipurpose federal
projects and low head private
dams, to attain full development
in which all share fairly.
New Faces
When Congress convenes
Charlie Porter of Eugene and Al
Ullman of Baker will be sworn
in as the new representatives of
Oregon. They are old and good
friends who will be fighting
shoulder to shoulder with Dick
Neuberger, Edith Green and me
for Oregon's best intersts. All
of us see eye to eye on most of
the major issues which means a
strong and unified voice for the
State in Congress.
Incidentally, the afficial tabu
lation shows that my majority
was 61,444 votes. Credit for this
margin goes to the many friends
and supporters who worked tire
lessly in the campaign. I wish I
could thank each one individ
ually. Dick and Maurine Neuberger,
Edith, Charlie, Bob Holmes and
1 campaigned vigorously together
and I wish to express my grati
tude to them and the many oth
ers who worked with us.
The Morse family sends you
warmest best wishes for a happy
holiday season. We join in your
prayers for a peaceful and better
world. May we take this occa
sion to thank again our many
friends who were so generous to
us in the months past. We feel
rich because of your friendship.
Wayne Morse.
