Neuberger Plan for
Northwest Power
Agency Opposed
Washington (UPI) Ai
private utility execupve
charged today that a propos
ed new federal power agency
for the Pacific Northwes
would be "dangerous' to the
welfare of the region.
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-

man who has been ringing
twice for 35 years in the same
neighborhood had his work in

his patrons who presented
him with S300.
Walter S. Dennis was de
livering mail to Mr. and Mrs.
William R. Woodcock whA
they asked him to step in for
coffee. Once inside, a dozen
women representing 250 fam
ilies presented him with the
money.
Mrs. Woodcock said Wally
is a real good friend "who has
done more kindnesses than
anybody can count."
The presentation came
just two days before Wally

the country" and are suffer
ing from "soaring unemploy

vate utilities are "not doing
the job" of bringing in new
industry.

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.
The burbot, Kyritis said,
has been seen and caught reg
ularly lately in the lake about
eight miles southeast of Wau
kegan. Kyritis said the "lawyer" is
a godlike fish that lacks scales
and barbs on its nose and chin.

Justices Plentiful
At N.Y. Wedding
Liverpool, N.Y. (UPI)
Mr. ahd Mrs. William Schap
ley can boast of one thing
about their wedding. There
were 41 justices of the peace
present.
They were to be married
by Liverpool Justice Irving
Orth, who is also an instruc
tor at a magistrates' training
school. 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."

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.
There are about 877 million
head of cattle in the world.

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.
