J. E. Corette, president of the Montana Power Co., told a Senate public works sub committee that the suggested agency would be a "thinly disguised version of Colum bia Valley authority with broad powers QVer the people and resources 4f the North west." Sen. Richard L. Neuberg er (D-Ore.), has inbduced a bill to establish a Columbia River Development Corp. It would administer water re sources of the entire area. Serious Threat Seen Corette told a subcommit tee hearing, presided over by Neuberger, that creation of such an agency would pose a "serious threat to the entire nation." He said the proposed federal corporation would be similar tothe Tennessee Val ley Authority "which has completely destroyed the investor-owned utility compan ies of that region and which now is straining Gto expand its areas of control and dom ination." Corette said it would be "impossible to expand this valley authority principlg to the Columbia River basin without applying the same theories to every river basin in America." But Neuberger said the North-vst needs the agency to provide low cost federal power which would attract new industries to the region. He said Montana and Ore gon have the "lowest per cap- Mailman Honored By His Patrons Chicago (UPI) A post man who has been ringing twice for 35 years in the same neighborhood had his work in terrupted by a delegation of his patrons who presented him with S300.

Neuberger said pri vate utilities are "not doing the job" of bringing in new industry. 5rou4 t GroviA Corette disagreed-with Neu berger. He said he was "very proud" of the "substantial" economic growth the North west states have accomplish ed in recent years. He said subsidized federal power would bring in only a few minor industries" to the Northwest states. Corette said the "real danger" in the proposed federal agency would be the effect it would have on private utilities na tionally. lawyer' Returning To Lake Michigan Waukegan, 111. (UPI) A rather tasty fish, nicknamed "Lawyer," is reported return ing to Lake Michigan after an absence of almost seven years. Mathon Kyritsis of Wauke gan, president of the Illinois Commercial Fisherman's as sociation, said the fish is a burbot which hasn't been spot ted since 1950.

Orth had arranged for an instructor to take over his class so he could marry the Schapleys, but at the last minute the guest instructor couldn't make it. Orth solved the problem by marrying the Schapleys in the cafeteries of the local school where the magistrates' class was held with 40 class members, justices of the peace, as witnesses. Birds and Bees Given Approval Detroit (UPI) The vil lage commission in suburban Roseville found itself giving practical approval to the birds and the bees. Health Inspector George Shaw was called to investi gate complaints that one man had 100 pigeons in a garage loft, and that another had "three bushels" of bees in two hives, all within the vil lage. Shaw made a survey and lounct xnat more persons thought the pigeons' were pretty rather than obnoxious and that the bees were too busy guarding their summer store of honey to be any trouble. Only one nosy dog naa been stung. The commission refused to upset the harmony. Siver Scanned for Scientific Treasure Kanab, Utah (UPI) Ar cheologists from the Universi ty of Utah have begun comb ing southern Utah tributaries of the Colorado river in hopes of rescuing scientific treasures before they are lost forever beneath waters of the Glen Canyon reservoir. University scientists and the National Park Service have undertaken a $110,000, 10 year study of the fossil and relic-rich area where Indian tribes once roamed. Dr. Jesse D. Jennings, head of the university's archeology department, said crews work ing with a portable laboratory already have uncovered a number of prehistoric dwell ings. Construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, undertaken ear lier this year as part of the multi - million - dollar Upper Colorado river storage proj ect, is expected to reach com pletion in seven years. The reservoir, with its eventual 28 million acre-feet of water ca pacity, will back water 186 miles up the Colorado and 71 miles up the San Juan river. Wisconsin Pine Believed Largest Ne wald, Wis. (UPI) A towering white pine in Nicolet National Forest near here is believed to be the largest of its kind in the United States. Discovered by a forest ranger 12 years ago, the giant has been named in honor of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The MacArthur pine is 140 feet tall, has a circumference of 16 feet and 8 inches and a crown spread of 48 feet. It is believed to be well over 250 years old. Estimated to contain 8,000 board feet of lumber, the huge pine could provide enough material to build a 24x30-foot home. At current rates for white pine lumber, which comes in several grades aver aging $200 a thousand board feet, the MacArthur pine is worth $1,600. 'Noisy' Faculty Part of Tradition Madison, Wis. (UPI) A noisy" faculty is part of the University of Wisconsin tra dition, according to Dr. Fred H. Harrington, assistant to the president. Harrington said the faculty wants to help decide policy and has the right to do so by state law. This attitude is also passed along to the stu dents, he said. "They are not as easily or dered around as the bulk of those in the United States, he added, "Because of this, Wis consin student leaders have a more difficult task than most." He told a group of campus leaders to "expect to be criti cized" but added that it was sometimes desirable to "tell them off." Tarantulas Make Fine House Pets Chicago (UPI) Lillian A. Ross, an associate of the Chi cago National History' Mu seum, says tarantulas make fine house pets. She's had one for eight years. "She is called Hortense and was given to me by the Lin coln Park Zoo," Miss Ross said. "Hortense will sit placidly in my hand, occasionally mov ing a leg to adjust herself more comfortably. She likes cockroaches for dinner, al though she will not turn up her nose at a bit of chopped beefsteak or a meal-worm." 7fcat ht just wn't riy mrfhirt' but SAHTIAM BLUE LAKE STttMClKS GREEN BEAST New Way to Extract Opium San Francisco (UPI) Scientists have discovered a new way to extract opium, quinine, strychnine and oth er drugs from plant material, it was announced here. Doctors at the University of California School of Pharmacy said they have been experimenting with the new method which is simpler and more accurate than the standard techniques in use since the 1890's. The new method is faster and gets more drugs from the same amount of plant materials, they added. Essentially the new method consists in combining a resin with the plant material. The positively charged hydrogen atoms of the resin switch places with the molecules of drugs that are also positively charged. The drugs are then washed out of the resin with ammonia. The experiments with the new drug extraction method were conducted by Dr. Einar Brochmann-Hanssen. He said the new method has produced a 10 per cent greater yield of drugs than earlier methods and has done the job in as little as half an hour, com pared to a day-and-a-half re quired by older chemical ex traction processes! Brain Stimulation Satisfying to Rats Los Angeles, Calif. (UPI) Electrical stimulation ' to cer tain parts of the brain can be as satisfying to a rat as a good meal of cheese, scientists re port. Dr. James Olds, former as sociate research psychologist at the University of California here, said that this and simi lar brain studies on rats may prove to be the key to treat ment of human mental illness. Olds' said findings in ani mal research indicate that it may be possible in the future to control the reward system of the human brain by medi cine and thereby adjust the behavior of psychiatric patients.

Mental Exercise At Breakfast Urged Los Angeles (UPI) If you have to solve problems in your work it may help to take a few "warm-up" mental ex ercises at breakfast time, two UCLA psychologists suggest. The psychologists, Irving Maltzman, Lloyd Brooks and Stanley Summers, have Sound that a group of subjects who first were asked to solve seve ral simple problems proved to be considerably faster in solv ing a bigger problem present ed afterwards. The habit of warming up the mind made problem-solving easier even though the warm-up exercises had noth ing to do with the subject mat ter of the problems to be solved. "Problem-solving is some thing that requires an-uncommon response," they said. And it is possible to train people into the habit of uncommon responses, they added.
