froe Secretary of Interior Fred

aMut 4 million acre-feet of

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

man said, "but also in volume,

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

Ike Has High Rank as Bridge Player;
Delights in Getting Foes Out On Limb
NO FANFARE President
Eisenhower is shown signing
his Middle East Doctrine
pledging the use of Amer
ican troops, if necessary, to
defend the oil-rich area from
Communist aggression.
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.

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.
