Money Approved for
River Dredging
Washington OP) The Sen
ate Monday night approved a
supplemental appropriation, bill
providing $425,000 to start
dredging of the Columbia river
navigation channel to a 27-foot
depth from Vancouver. Wash.,
to The Dalles, Ore.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) had told the Senate
Appropriations committee last
weefc that the money was essent
ial to provide some water com
petition for ever increasing rail
and truck rates in the North
west. Neuberger also emphasized
that the Columbia offers the
only navigation route through
the mountains along the Pacific
seasboard and that additional
appropriations in the future
would open to the port of The
Dalles to deep draft vessels.

Board of Control
Discusses Building
Salem IIP! The State Board
of Control voted today to meet
with the Capitol Planning com
mission as soon as possible to
decide on location of the new
Labor and Industries building in
the Capitol Mall.
The commission was expected
to recommend a site now occu
pied by the First Presbyterian
church which the state owns.
The church probably would be
destroyed to make way for the
new building.
The Labor and Industries
building would complete the for
mal section of the mall. If it was
similar in appearance to the
Public Service building, cost
would be roughly three million
dollars.
Method of financing the struc
ture will be decided on definite
ly after some detail work by Fi
nance Director John Richardson.
In other business, the board
reappointed Walter Foster and
Mrs. Emery Ingham to the train
ing school advisory committee.
The board decided to locate a
laundry at the new intermedi
ate penal institution here which
could handle laundry also for
the F. H. Dammasch Mental hos
pital near .Wilsonville.
The state now has laundries at
the penitentiary, Fairview home
and MacLaren school near
Woodburn. The penitentiary
laundry does the work for the
state hospital and TB hospital.,
A request from the Oregon
State Labor . council for a re
statement of policy relative to
employee membership in organi
zations and handling of griev
ances was referred to the Civil
Service commission for study.
Polio Shots Scheduled
For Police Department
Approximately 35 employees
of the city police department and
their families will be given po
.lio vaccine shots by Dr. A. Erin
'Merkel, Jackson county public
; health officer, starting Thurs
day. , The program is strictly vol
untary with each person paying
for the cost of the vaccine, it
was explained. The first shots
of the series will be given in the
Jackson county public health of-
fice.

Inventor of Radar
Finally Gets Patent
Washington OP) The man
primarily responsible for devel
opment of radar, vital national
defense device, finally has won
a patent on his discovery, the
Army announced today.
He is Col. William R. Blair,
Fair Haven, N. J., a retired Sig
nal Corps scientist. Blair con
ceived the Idea "prior to 1930,"
the Army said, and has had a
"basic and fundamental" patent
application pending since June,
1945.
Radar is a pulse-echo system
in which a transmitter sends out
electrical impulses which bounce
The Army revealed that a
workable set was demonstrated
to the War Department and to
members of Congress in early
1937. Manufacturers later began
turning out radar equipment for
the Army. It said Blair' patent
application was not filed until
1945 because of the secrecy sur
rounding radar in World War
II.
The government uses radar
under a patent free license but
Blair apparently stands to make
millions in its application to
peaceful purposes.
Vandals Gaffing Fish
At Savage Rapids
Grants Pass IW Cole Rivers,
fishery agent for the State Game
commission here, said today that
vandals were making serious in
roads in the Chinook salmon
runs on the Rogue river at Sav
age Rapids dam.
Rivers said vandals had been
gaffing salmon right out of the
fish ladders at the dam'. On a
single raid recently, he said, 20
big Chinooks were jabbed and
killed with a pike pole. There
was no estimate of how many
fish had been sacked up and
hauled away.
Rivers estimated that if the
salmon killed in that one in
stance of vandalism had been
allowed upriver to spawn they
would have produced 30,000 offspring.
Fad and Use Classified Ad,
Th Low Cost Way to Sell
Firms Indicate No
Immediate Plans
To Shut Operations
Portland (Ifl Firms affected
by an order cutting off interrup-
tible power supplies Aug. 31 un
til water conditions improve on
the Columbia river indicated to
day they liad no immediate
plans to shut down their operations.
Many said they would use
power from other sources, in
cluding provisional power from
Hungry Horse dam. The firms
must guarantee replacement of
this power if the weather pic
ture does not improve.
- Bonneville Power administra
tion said the interruptible pow
er cutback was necessary be
cause of low water on the Co
lumbia.
Provisional Power
H. W. Shoemaker, general
manager of the Reynolds alumi
num plant at Troutdale, said
BPA had advised that provision
al power would be available in
sufficient quantity to replace
the interruptible supply for part
of September. He admitted "we
are taking a calculated risk" but
that it was hoped the weather
situation would improve in Sep
tember.
A spokesman for Aluminum
Company of America said the
firm first wanted a clarification
of the order. He said that unless
provisional power were used to
make up the loss, cutting of in
terruptible power would shut
down about one-third of Alcoa's
operations.
Manager Thomas Water of Pa
cific Carbide and Alloys said
his firm probably would use
provisional power from Hungry
Horse. Glen More, production
manager of Pennsylvania Salt
Manufacturing company, said
his firm had other power sources
and would not lay off any em
ployes. Elmer Howard, manager of
Carborundum company, said the
plant's new addition, opened in
March, would shut down when
interruptible power is cut, mean
ing layoff of about 10 men. :
Local Woman Takes
Gladiolus Awards
With 11 blue ribbons and two
purple ribbon awards, as well as
lesser awards, Mrs. L. G. Gent
ner of 22 South Groveland ave.,
was sweepstakes winner in the
1957 Pacific International Glad
iolus show at Grants Pass last
week end.
Mrs. Gentner won the trophy
for the best corsage, using Gold
Bank gladiolus grown by Paul
Brandon, Grants Pass; the award
for the best corsage, using an
unnamed seedling gladiolus de
veloped by R. H. Pruitt, Grants
Pass, and the non-commercial
sweepstakes trophy.
Among the judges were Mrs.
John Holmer, Old Stage road,
and Mrs. Gaston Floux, Central
Point. They judged corsages,
baskets and arrangements.
This week end Mrs. Gentner
will judge the flower show held
in connection with the annual
Del Norte county fair at Cres
cent City, Calif. This is one of
California's largest shows, with
more than 200 classes of all
types of flowers to be judged.
It is expected that the judging
will continue from Friday morn
ing through Sunday morning.
Mr. Gentner will accompany
his wife to Crescent City and
will go deep sea fishing with
Aubrey and Carl Norris of
Medford.
Committee Postpones
Action on Aid Money
Washington (IP) The Senate
Appropriations committee today
postponed action on President
Eisenhower's foreign aid money
request. It asked the adminis
tration for more detailed infor
mation. The action came at a one hour
and 15 minute closed-door ses
sion where the President's sup
porters planned to put back
most of the 809 million dollars
cut out of the $3,367,800,000
program by the House last
week.
Just before the committee
met, Eisenhower appealed to
Republican leaders at a White
House conference to support
him in his fight for a full scale
mutual security program.
But his party leaders held out
hope of restoring only part of
the whopping House cut.
PUNCTUATION

property tax bulletin listing the
the county tax for Detroit as
S7,353 per $1,000 assessed valu

consternation until another bul
letin was issued, replacing the
comma with a period.

Birth Certificate
Not Necessary for
Social Security
No one need fear that the lack
of a birth certificate will keep
him from collecting social secu
rity benefits, W. V. Nusbaum,
manager of the Medford social
security office, announced to
day. Although social .security of
fices have suggested that appli
cants for social security benefits
bring any available evidence of
their age with them, this sugges
tion has been made only to
speed the payment of their
claims for benefits and save
them additional trips, he point
ed out.
A person of retirement age
who does not have any docu
mentary evidence of his date of
birth need not delay applying
for his social security benefits.
His local social security office
will give him advice on how to
get proof that he has reached
the required age.
Worry Unnecessarily
"Many people," Nusbaum said,
"wdrry unnecessarily because
they do not have an official
birth certificate issued at the
time of their birth. While a
birth certificate is the best evi
dence of age, other evidence is
acceptable and can be used as
proof of age when a birth certi
ficate is not available."
Nusbaum pointed out that a
certificate of baptism is also
good evidence as to date of birth
and so is a Bible which the
births in a family were recorded
at the times they occurred. If
the applicant was born abroad,
he may have a naturalization
certificate. There may be an old
hospital record showing his age
at the time he was hospitalized,
or a military record if he was
ever in the armed services, Nus
baum said.
The applicant may also have
a school diploma or a report
card. While these would not
show the age, a letter to the
school might procure an answer
showing the age or date of birth
as shown in the school records:
An old life insurance policy
whether or not it's still in force,
may show the applicant's age at
the time the policy was issued.
There are numerous other rec
ords which, in the absence of a
birth certificate, will serve as
well as those mentioned to
establish age when an applica
tion for social security benefits
is filed. "No one," Nusbaum
said, "will be turned away from
a social security office because
he does not have documentary
proof of his age. As long as the
person is interested in locating
reliable evidence of his age, his
social security office will help
him and keep his application
open."

Cheatham Says Tax
Structure 'Stinks'
Portland (IB Owen R. Cheat
ham, president of the only Portland-based
firm that is listed as
one 'of the nation's 500 biggest
corporations, said here Monday
night that Oregon's tax structure
"stinks," but he predicted a re
vival for the lagging lumber in
dustry anyway.
Cheatham, president of the
Georgia-Pacific Lumber corpor
ation, commented at a news con
ference that "Oregon's tax struc
ture is so bad eventually it will
have to be changed. It's the
worst in the United States." It
definitely is a handicap to eco
nomic growth, he said. '
Cheatham added that Georgia
Pacific is in Oregon "because
the timber is here." He predict
ed that the new FHA down pay
ment requirements should boost
new housing starts back above
one million next year and he
expects the 1955 boom to return
by 1959.
Despite general lethargy in
other sections of the industry,
Georgia Pacific last year report
ed increased sales and profits
and Cheatham expects sales of
150 million dollars this year.
He said the firm's planned ex-

pansion would emphasize great
er utilization of timber products
and cited the new kraft paper
mill due to go into production
Jan. 1 at Toledo.
Georgia Pacific now owns
250,000 acres of Oregon timber
land and Cheatham called west
ern Oregon "the best timber
growing area on the face of the
earth."

'Bargain Media'
CHICAGO (AP) August 7
The National Association of
Retail Meat and Food Dealers
said Tuesday newspaper adver
tising is the "bargain media" for
food store advertisers.
In a resolution passed at the
72nd annual convention, the
group urged retailers to "make
full use of daily newspapers in
order to build your business on
the firmest of foundations."
"With competition at the high
est peak in food store history,
retailers must avail themselves
of every promotional weapon to
maintain sales volume," the
resolution said.
"Newspaper advertising is a
bargain media that will return
many times its original invest,
ment," it added. "No other form
of advertising reaches the home
faster nor has greater reader
ship than the daily newspaper."
