JnTorf quoted a recent letter to tie Federal Power Commission froe Secretary of Interior Fred A. Seaton citing "the need for aMut 4 million acre-feet of fl'Wtl control storage on the Snai0 river above Lewiston," ,eVn fating that "the Oxbow avid Bells Canyon developments of th Iiaho Power company "ill provide significant quantai- tik of uch capacity. fla tmi Inadequate Mor said "Sea ton admits! htt thja advocates of high Hells Canyon dam have said all along: that it imperative to obtain maximum flood-control storage in in the Middle Snake and the Idaho Power company plan for the Hells Canyon stretch fails to provide adequate storage." I The Oregon Senator branded j as a paten on a tiat lire of a program" the recent administra tion move for another study of a co-called high dam at Pleasant Valley. '"Secretary Seaton hasn't even put the jack under the car," Morse said. "All he is say ing, in effect is that partnership has had a blowout." Morse labeled as "a desperate attempt to somehow, somewhere make up for the loss of high Hells Canyon storage." the ad ministration's championing of the proposed Bruces Eddy dam on the Clearwater river. "That project would block fish runs, flood elk feeding grounds and invade a magnific ent wilderness area." Morse said. "Until and unless the conserva tion problems are licked, I op pose Bruce's Eddy as do the major conservation groups of the country." Unemployment Emphasised The Senator emphasized the seasonal unemployment problem which confronts the Pacific He cited Department of Labor figures showing that Oregon and Idaho in mid-February had the highest rates of unemployment in tiie country, with Montana and Washington not far behind. Oregon s rate was a staggering 10.8'. ' The power to be generated at site and which Hells Canyon would maks possible down stream will make possible new private enterprise with new plants and the business which spring up to ser -e new industrial communities," Morse said. "What the supporters of high Hells Canyon dam want is a transfusion of low-cost power for a more vigorous private en terprise economy," he pointed out. More Swimming Pools Said Planned in 1957 Chicago OJ.R) If you built a swimming pool in 1956, you were one of 33,000 people that did so, according to Robert Hoff man, publisher of Swimming Pool Age. Figuring on a retail cost level, you and the other 32.999 persons spent some $325,000,000 for your back yard beaches, but it's only a drop in the bucket. Hoffman said some 45,000 pools will be constructed in 1957, or about a third more than in 1956. and the cost will exceed S400, 000.000 . . . "possibly closer to a half billion. "Not only is the pool indus try growing in numbers" Hoff man said, "but also in volume, business methods and oper ation." Pool-builders at the start of 1955 numbered about 400. Today Hoffman estimated more than 1,500 firms are contracting and building them. "Today's swimming pool is more nearly a complete package than it has been before.

There was no elaborate ceremony for the historic occasion. it BOUND FOR MIDDLE EAST Former Rep. James P. Richards (above), Presi dent Eisenhower's special assistant for Middle East affairs, will visit the Middle East on a survey to lay the groundwork for the Presi dent's Middle East Doctrine. Washington (U.R) The four men sat around a small table in the second floor study of the White House, their demeanor solemn, their concentration ab solute. Finally one broke the silence. "Pass," said the President of the United States. Then the slightest of grins pas sed over the face of Mr. Eisen hower for he had succeeded again in his favorite tactics of getting his bridge opponents out on a limb. The hand was played in one no trump and the Pres ident's opponents went down six tricks which is about as bad a shellacking as you can take in a bridge hand. , It happened not many nights ago at one of the frequent bridge sessions that the President en joys with his close friends. Mr. Eisenhower is so well known as a golfer that it is seldom realized he is not only a far better bridge player than a golfer but that he comes close to the championship class in the card game. A friend and fellow player of the President was asked by the United Press what kind of game Mr. Eisenhower plays. He told about the no trump hand as an illustration and then went on: One of Best "The President plays one of the best games I've ever seen. He has the three qualities es sential for bridge a mathemat and a complete gift of concentra tion. I would say he and General Gruenther (who is one of the na tion's top players) are of about the same caliber." Is he an aggressive or defen sive bridge playsr? "Well, like everybody he de lights in getting a big hand and going to game or slam. But he is the kind of player who gets even a bigger kick out of mak ing the most of poor cards and setting his opponents. "Some of the people he plays with have the common failing of overconfidence and reading more value into hands than they have and he is quick to take advantage of it." Is he a Goren or a Culbertson man? "Oh, he knows all the widely played systems. But he usually plays Goren because that is what most of us play. He is certainly not a reckless bidder and seldom a psychic bidder." The President's most frequent bridge cronies are Gruenther; George Allen, William E. Robin son, president of Coca Cola; Tre asury Secretary George M. Hum phrey and Clifford Roberts, New York investment banker. They interchange as partners. They play for small point stakes and occasionally make side bets when a rubber gets close. A great deal of good-natured banter is exchanged be tween hands but the playing is ing usually last only a couple of hours but on Saturdays or Sundays, particularly at Aug usta or Gettysburg, they may start in the afternoon, break for dinner and resume in the evening-Mr. Eisenhower has played for many years. Like so many Army officers he learned the game ear ly and played in service clubs around the world. Mrs. Eisen hower also is a good bridge play er but most of her women friends prefer canasta or some other game. Tanker Jackknifes Near Cave Junction Cave Junction Traffic was slowed for about a half an hour Monday afternoon near Cave Junction when an Asbury truck and tanker jackknifed on the southern approach to the West fork bridge. The tanker partially went into a ditch. According to the driver, Hoyt Ross of Crescent City, the tanker skidded on the wet pavement as he attempted to stop when the bridge light changed. A road guard was set up so spilled gas would not be ignited. Salem (U.R) Appointment of Mrs. Louis Heriza to the Baker County Public Welfare commission has been announced by Gov. Robert D. Holme. Australia has a section like the District of Columbia in the Unit ed States. It is Canberra, the capital city of the federal government. CHARLES D.

This word was relayed to key House members considering the President's $1.3 billion school bill. It calls for spending S325 million a year for four years to build classrooms. The President's stand knifed into the economy wave that r O o o 1 - IT BEES f i Ki&l ,V XT J "'""m iwin to . ! I OLYMPIA ...with pleasure ! Westerners enjoy their leisure in many ways.

Join those who always serve and enjoy Olympia with pleasure! broke on the White House door step today. A 'Must' Resolution House Democrats, by a thump ing 219 to 178 majority, pushed through a resolution late Tues day declaring substantial cuts "must" be made in Mr. Eisen hower's $72 billion budget and calling on him to say where they can be made. The resolution does not have to be acted on by the Senate and has no legal standing. Its effect is to put the House on record. Despite Republican cries of "buck-passing," Democrats ex pected the President to come through with an answer soon. But the Democrats did not plan to wait. The House took up an appropriation bill for the White House and several small federal agencies with Democrats set to slash $4.9 million re commended by the appropria tions committee. Cutting Fever Spreads As budget-cutting fever spread over the capital, there were these other developments: The administration warned it may cut back public works pro jects because of rising construe tion costs. The warning came from reclamation Commissioner W. A. Dexheimer, who told con tractors to "sharpen your pen cils" or "you may kill the goose that lays the golden egg." A House subcommittee open ed an investigation of admini stration plans to add 73,000 em ployees to the federal payroll. Agriculture Department officials were called to "justify" a pro posed increase of 20,000 em ployees in their department. The "conference" of all Re publican senators adopted a reso lution Tuesday night calling on Congress to "reduce the budget wherever possible consistent with the security of the national defense and the essential func tioning of the government." No figure was mentioned. f(0 J CO J fmm WEm ALUMINUM VV- I VALUES T singing I jTrrr I m f Girl Burned When Gown Catches Fire Cave Junction When nine year old Paulette Brading's nightgown caught fire Saturday morning, she escaped death only through the resourcefulness of her Girl Scout leader mother, Mrs. Paul Brading, who caugh the little girl and smothered the flames in blankets from her bed. Paulette is being treated at her home in Cave Junction for sec ond and third degree burns on her back and legs, and is recov ing from shock. She will be out of school for at least three weeks, her doctor said. The accident occurred around 8:30 a.m. as Paulette stood with her back toward the open fire place.
