BACK Ct y i Columbia Considered at Hearing By ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The Senate hearings on legislation to cre ate a Columbia River Devel opment corporation a feder al agency to build dams through revenue bond financ ing were something like the opening gambit in a Turkish bazaar. No one expected the chief figures in the exchange the private power companies on the one hand, the public pow er groups on the other to come anywhere close in ar riving at an acceptable price tag for such an agency. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) is now preparing for the long, haggling period that inevitably follows. Possibly the buyer and seller will nev er get together; but one sus pects that a skillful negotiator could bring them closer than they were at the outset, and sell the idea of a regional corporation. The private utilities flayed the idea as socialistic. The script writers for Kinsey Rob inson, president of Washing ton Power,' and Thomas Del zell, chairman of the board, Portland General Electric, came up with terms like "czar" and "dictator" to de scribe the proposed corpora tion. If they had been asked to say what they thought of setting up another TVA, they could hardly have thought up more harsh words of opposi tion. It became clear from their testimony that the power com panies are happy with the way things are going right now. The role of the federal government in river develop ment has been declining, while that of the local utili ties has been rising, through the courtesy and policies of the Eisenhower administra tion which is in for another t .

River Agency two years and the Federal Power commission, whose S members are appointed by the j White House. Holmes Supports Bill The Northwest Public Pow er association, originator of the corporation bill, got sup port for the idea from Gov. Robert D. Holmes and the Oregon GOP Central commit tee, as well as the state of Washington. Groups in Mon tana and Idaho were stirredJ up against it, The preference clause that 50-year-old statutory provi sion which gives REAs, PUDs and the like preference over power companies in getting federal power was the heart of much of the difficulty in reconciling the various posi tions. Although the preference, clause comes into play only when there isn't enough pow er to go around, and the idea of a self - financing power agency is that it would build as many dams as necessary to assure all the power that is needed, the public power groups said they wanted the clause kept intact as it was. Likewise, the power compa nies continued their general opposition to it. Neuberger, thinking of Ore gon's plight, is seeking some modification of the prefer ence clause that will assure cheap federal power for Ore gon industry. Delzell would like each state to be guaran teed a "fair and equitable" share, with the FPC deciding how much that would be. Neuberger suggested that each state might be allowed as much as it needs of Colum bia river power up to a stipu lated ceiling, to protect Ore gon's non-preference utilities against the preference groups in Washington state. It seemed clear that no one doubted that a regional cor- HEY KIDS - -HERE'S ADVENTURE AT ITS BEST! The WAY Hiking Riflery Crafts Y.M.C.A Si By Jimmy Hatlo poration with power to sell bonds to the Treasury and build dams with the money would be able to provide all the power all utilities, private and public, would require in future years to come. But the private companies won't agree to anything carrying the old preference clause, and the public power groups won't agree to give it up even though the clause comes into play only when there is not enough power The Interior department is planning to sit on the side lines while these groups in the Northwest haggle. Secre tary Fred A. Seaton follows a local option philosophy on power, and if there evolves substantial agreement within the region, he would doubt less support the agreed con cept. The question is will they get together for this solution to the power shortage? Primary Election Prediction Given Sacramento (UPI) Alan Cranston, Democratic candi date for controller, predicted Wednesday that none of the races for California's major political offices will be de cided in next week's primary election. Cranston said no candidate from either party will "even come close" to sweeping both nominations and avoiding a November run-off. Several Republican incum bents in lesser statewide of fices, including Cranston's op ponent, Controller Robert C. Kirkwood, have hopes of win ning the Democratic nomina tion in addition to the GOP bid and thus winning reelec tion in the primary. But Cranston said that won't happen. The two party system has been, "re-establish ed in California, he said, and Democratic voters will cast their ballots for their party instead of voting on the basis of individual candidates. Cranston also predicted that the Democrats would show more strength than the Republicans in the primary. Ike Supported On No Tax Cut " Washington (UPI) The House Ways and Means com mittee supported President Eisenhower's "no tax cut" stand Wednesday by approv ing an administration bill to extend present corporation and excise taxes for another year. Approval was by a vote of 21 to 2 after the committee had rejected, 19-2, a proposal to cut the federal excise tax on automobiles from 10 to 7 per cent. The President's top econom ic advisers told Congress that even if current tax rates are continued, an 8 to 10 billion dollar deficit is likely in the fiscal year starting July 1. The lopsided Ways aiw Means committee vote was interpreted as giving strong impetus to a bipartisan drive by. the administration and congressional leaders to hold the" tax line.

He's numb.. Not in a state of shock I wouldn't say that. Just numb." What makes you feel that way, old man? "Because he just doesn't re act," said Wilbur. "You ask him how he feels about the sputnik threat or the H-bomb menace, and he just stands there kind of bleary-eyed. You ask him does he think the recession is winning, los ing, or drawing. He just spreads his arms. "I tell you the average guy around this town has been hit with the news of so many in ternational crises that he's lost his capacity, to get ex cited. My grandpa used to tell me that back in the gay nineties, when things were slower and men had time to form an opinion, you couldn't even say . the words 'free-sil ver' out on the streets with out starting a fight.

House Group Has Critical Report About Hospital Washington (UPI) The majority report of a House sub-committee critical of Morningside mental . hospital in Portland was approved Wednesday by the House Government Operations com mittee. The committee recom mended that federal, state and local governments decide whether proceedings should be initiated against Wayne Coe, operator of the private institution. Morningside has cared for mentally ill from Alaska for more than 50 years. A subcommittee investigat ed Morningside last Septem ber. Its report, approved Wed nesday, said Cot and his sani tarium company should be in vestigated by the Internal Revenue service and that other agencies should decide whether federal or local laws were violated at the hospital. File Report A four-man majority of the committee filed a dissenting report which challenged the authority to investigate finan cial operations of Coe and the hospital. Coe charged in Portland that the entire report was po litically motivated. , In a statement he said "this is the fourth year that unsup ported and irresponsible charges by politicians' have been leveled at Morningside hospital and its staff. This probably will continue as long as politicians feel the need for publicity without regard for the effect on patients and their families who unfortu nately are in the middle." Dredge Removal Contract Announced Portland (UPI) Army en gineers Wednesday announced award of a $63,800 contract to Newark Pipe company. Tracy, Calif., for removal of the super-structure and dis posal of the wrecked hopper dredge Rossell near the en trance of Coos bay. The Rossell sank last Sep tember with the loss of four lives after a collision with the Norwegian freighter Thor- shall. The dredge, its con tents and equipment will be come the property of the contractor. What was the last one, Wil bur? ' "Kim Zsa Zsa, or gift horse, crisis," he replied, rolling his eyes. "There are so many of these things fraught with peril going on that the man in the street can't decide what to be really scared of or worked up about. "A generation ago, the Black Sox scandal was a bombshell ' in baseball. But nowadays, you ask the aver age New Yorker what he thinks about the Giants and the Dodgers leaving town and does he cloud up and holler? Won't Get a Rise "He does not. He looks helpless and quasi-sullen and replies mildly:. 'Let 'em go.' The fight has gone out of him because of the eternal crisis posture of his existence. "You ask him his opinion of the threat posed by the sack dress. All he can . do is look blank and say 'Aaaah.,; "I don't say the average bloke is going ostrich and burying his head to the mon ster trials of the world. Nor do I say he's in a grin-and-bear-it mood.- He's bewildered and bewitched but and this I say out of my own research on the street too beat to be bothered." Well, wliere do you fit into all this, yourself? Do you feel like a man or mouse, or may be ostrich? . "At this stage," said Wil bur, "more vegetable than anything else."

Small, Medium, large Less Than Normal Job Increase Seen Salem (UPI) Some 8,300 new jobs were reported by Oregon employers last month, or less than a normal increase for this time of year, the State Unemployment Compensation commission reported today. The commission estimated the number of non-agricultural workers at mid-April at 449,600. The increases in jobs were scattered among most indus tries with the only losses re ported in apparel, machinery and wholesale trade indus tries. Logging and sawmill firms employed 4,100 more work ers than in the previous month for the most sizeable increase. Some 21,400 . fewer non farm jobs were available in mid-April than a year ago, the commission said, adding that the losses were apparent throughout the economy. Little Rock Ends Hectic School Term Little Rock, Ark.

Memorial Day MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, May 29, 1958 3 Importance of Exercise Noted in Discussions By SID HOLLINGSWORTH Camp White The impor tance of exercise in a bal anced program of recreation was emphasized as a means of keeping fit with the ad vancing years in a discussion of physical education by Dr. Alexander Peterson, athletic instructor at Southern Oregon college, at the VA Domicili ary recently. "We should not underesti mate the potentialities of old er men even in competition with the younger generation," he said. Dr. Peterson named several outstanding octogen arians who retained their ability in sports, including Alonzo Stagg, Connie Mack, John D. Rockefeller and the King of Sweden, in football, baseball and golf. "We don't know whether exercise contributes to long er life, but we do know that within certain limitations it can increase body tone and release from the tensions of age," he declared. Slowing Down The difficulty for many older people is to know how to "slow down" he stressed. The process should not.be too abrupt. Although there is a difference between recreation and athletics in this period, the same principles apply, the former coach advised. "Physical age is a relative quantity. Some men at 40 are older than others at 50," he said. "It is significant' that MILLW0RK DEALERS FRIDAY & SATURDAY May 30 and 31st ., To Enable Their Employes to Have a 3-Day Holiday NO 4-1511 ROYAL CLUB 1 GREEK OLIVES HOLIDAY 59 59' 89 69" 79' MARGARINE lb.

What we do today in pressing a button is much different from what the cave man did." Plan Program Too few people today have a planned program of physi cal recreation, Dr. Peterson pointed out. Equipment and facilities are required for the best results. "When we fail to exercise we increase the rate of de generacy of the body," he em phasized, reviewing the physiological aspects in the building of muscle tissue, in creasing the heart beat and circulatory rate, training the nerves to respond and forc ing the lungs to function. "Exercise stimulates growth throughout the body," he said. For the older men, events calling for speed were ruled out, and activity that is long and calling for endur ance finds the older men at times better equipped by ex perience and stamina. "Quite a number of older men become outstanding walkers, and some of the best fishing and hunting guides are found among the oldsters," Dr. Peterson declared. Never swim alone. Swim with someone who has about the same swimming ability as you. Stay together so warns the Boy Scouts of America.
