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

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-

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.

Average Man Numb
From Many Crises
By DOC QUIGG
United Press International
New York (UPI) "The
way I got it figured," said
Wilbur, our office grouch, "is
that the average guy has faced
so many crises in the last few
months that he's over-crisised.
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.

"Now we got the fallout
crisis, the education crisis, the
juvenile delinquency crisis,
the Algerian, French, De

the Caribbean Kim Zsa Zsa
crisis. . . "

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."

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

in this technological age, with
all kinds of modern conveni
ences, we operate with the
same body as the man who
lived 20,000 years ago. 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.
