THE Big Bend project

pleted. Beside the dam, canal, tunnel, penstocks
and powerhouse of the project proper, work being
done also includes, a $l,s00,000 transmission line
between Medford and Klamath Falls, a $1 million
substation in Medford, and several hundred thou
sand dollars worth of work iri Klamath Falls for
distribution purposes.
Big Bend is not a
Coulee or Hoover variety. It is relatively low
(only 72 feet), but it backs up a lot of water, and
the main force is obtained by conveying the water
along a gradual slope, while the river drops more
rapidly. Then the water
foot penstocks to the turbines and generators, ex
erting tremendous energy which is transformed
into electricity.
THE project is in many ways similar to the
TnVofoo rtAm rlnv rv
of Diamond lake. Up there, Copco has built a
whole series of dams, canals, penstocks and pow
er houses, and uses and reuses the water by
means of an ingenious

water is "worn out" by the time it has gone

Illinois Target
Of Wabash Floods
Vincennes, Ind. (UPI)
Major flood threats from the
rampaging Wabash river shift
ed temporarily from Indiana
to neighboring Illinois today.
Levee workers in the Vin
cennes area, exhausted from
three days' efforts in reinfocc-
ing possible danger spots along
the flood wall, were confident
thev-river would not make a
breakthrough here. Officials
said, however, heavy rains in
the 1 north could' alter the
whole picture. .
The river was expected to
crest at 27 to 27V2 feet this
afternoon.
Across the river, at Riissell
ville, 111., the situation was
more critical. State police and
volunteers maintained an
around-the-clock patrol, plug
ging weak spots. .
"We're still in good shape,"
one official said. "Usually
when it gets this high, the
river finds a hole. It hasn't
yet."

S. White
President very soon by
July 15 if possible.
3. A rough justice is at
work, superficially at least.
For Adams, now so harried
for accepting favors from
wealthy friends, was one of
the most righteous denouncers
of the so - called "influence
peddling" of the Truman
years.
THE story thus has the add
ed zest of the case of the
deacon who is found making
eyes, even if harmless, elder
ly eyes, at the blonde choir
singer.
So much for the headlines.
What really matters, how
ever, is the melancholy light
thrown by this business upon
the degree of politicial ma
turity of this country.
It indicates anew that two
bit issues a politics of
puerility have a dominant
place in our national life. It
is the adult equivalent of the
(Western) cops and robbers
that enthrall the children on
television.
The wheel is turning a full
circle. But it is throwing up
not the grand and urgent
questions about the conduct
of our public affairs. It is
turning up hotel bills and
vicuna coats, where in the
Truman Administration jt
turned up hotel bills and
mink coats.
All this is not to say that
propriety or taste were served
by Adams, in Eisenhower's
White House or by some
of Truman's people in Tru
man's White House. And it
is not to say that the cold,
continued arrogance of Sher
man Adams is easy to defend.
IT IS not to say that real or
alleged cronyism is de
sirable or unimportant ex
cept in relation to the real
issues of this terrible time.
But what is to be said is
that the country is again
showing a most peculiar
standard of weighing an Ad
ministration. In Truman's
time, such trifling matters as
the Marshall Plan and the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi
zation could not be usefully
examined pro or con.
Nearly everybody was too
engrossed with the immense
disclosure that some White
House . stenographer had a
jacket she had not bought
and Major General Harry H.
Vaughan had a freezer rwith
out sales slip.
Today, few are prepared to
ponder whether the Eisen
hower Administration is win
ning or losing the cold war.
They must engage themselves
with such vast issues as to
whether Adams did some
thing for Bernard Goldfine's
clothing business.
A political writer need not
adopt the ivied-hall view of a
professor of political science
to suggest some odd dispro
portion in all this.
-
A - PAST Administration ,
Truman's . was repudi
ated in considerable part
upon a public finding that the
mess in Washington intol
erably endangered this re
public. It is true, of course,
that graver charges were
made "softness" on com
munism. But the separate
counts of this heated indict
ment plainly canceled each
other out. For the Adminis
tration that was too kind to
communism was at the same
time denounced for persisting
in Killing communists in
Korea. '
Oddest of all, nothing real
ly was done by the opposition
to an area of true and mean
ingful vulnerability. This was
the area of Truman's domes
tic legislative policy, which
was an almost total failure.
Today, there is a rough
parallel rough, indeed, in
every sense. '

Presidential Gifts

By LYLE C. WILSON

Washington (UPI While
we are on or close to the
subject of gifts to the White
House, how
about this?

mates that the
number of
gifts received
each year at
the White
House for a
President and
! 1 J
Lyle C. Wilson wue w o u i a
soar into the thousands!
Smith spent many years
covering the White House and
traveling with presidents be
fore he switched to the capi
tal economic beat for United
Press International. He and
other White House familiars
have seen a room stacked high
with Christmas toys, for ex
ample.
Gifts of Food
A Texan long kept the Ei
senhower's supplied with a fa
vorite delicacy, chukker phea
sant. There usually is a fairly
steady flow of quail, steaks,
' turkeys and similar food
items. Publicity-minded per
sons or institutions in Maine
and in the Pacific Northwest
sometimes appear to be con
testing for the honor of pre
senting a President with the
biggest and best salmon.
Smith recalls that Harry S.
Truman accepted a gift Ford
while in office and that his
daughter, Margaret, received
a Plymouth distinguished by
gold plated fixtures. There
was no backfire or criticism
in either case, both substan
tial gifts having been ac
knowledged publicly and pho
tographed with their owners
as received.
During casual conversations
with newsmen after the 1952
election and before Eisenhow
er Inauguration, Press Secre
tary James C. Hagerty said
firmly that it would be his
policy to announce all gifts
of substantial value as they
arrived and to distribute pho
tographs of them. That has
protected White House fam
Hies before them.
Radios For Cal
Back there in the Coolidge
era a frequent and favorite
gift to - the President was
radio receiver. They ran into
a bit of money; then, and
Coolidge accepted them will
ingly along with the free ad
vertising the manufacturer
got with announcement of the
gift.
Coolidge liked things for
free, especially board and
lodging. This trapped him oc
casionally in publicity
schemes for real estate ven
tures ' in Florida and else
where, but there was no great
outcry.
Vanguard Rocket
Launching Delayed
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPI)
Navy technicians tried all
night to get another Vanguard
rocket off the ground with an
artificial moon in its nose but
finally had to postpone the at
tempt because of technical dif
ficulties.
The scheduled launching
was postponed shortly after
1:30 a.m. (PST) after the
countdown had several times
neared zero.
A statement issued here said
only that "technical - diffi
culties" were encountered dur-
mg
the countdown. The
an
nouncement did not say when
the launching would be re
scheduled. The Vanguard had tucked
inside its nose a 20-inch, 21 XA
pound satellite which was rig
ged to send back information
about the x-ray output of the
sun and the intensity of micro
meteorites in space.
solutely certain that if Ber
nard Goldfine also tipped the
bellboy for Sherman Adams,
this vital datum is not lost to
history.

be one of them) will be lined
up against blank walls and
shot down by communist rifle
squads.
That's communism AS
PRACTICED not as it is
propagandized.
TTOPEFUL note from Paris:
France today is observing
the 18th anniversary of Gen
eral Charles de Gaulle's call
to victory in World War II by
rallying behind his national
recovery loan.
The government discloses
that Frenchmen gave up 11
million dollars worth of hid
den gold yesterday when 3Vi
per cent French government
bonds went on sale for gold.
French Finance Minister An
toine Pinay says this morn
ing: . .
"If the gold subscription
keeps coming in at this rate,
we will have to enlarge tho
vaults of the Bank of France." '
THAT, also, calls for a little
explainfng.
Since (practically speaking
the time whereof the memory
of man runneth not to the
contrary thereof, the French
have had little confidence in
their government. So, instead
of buying government bonds,
they have BOUGHT GOLD
and buried it in the back
yard, or hidden it in the mat
tress, or stashed it. away in
boles dug in their basements.
Private ownership of gold
has long been illegal in
France, but all French gov
ernments have known that if
they started jailing French
men for hoarding gold there
would be another Reign of
Terror. v
If the French are digging
up their gold ana Buying
French bonds with it, it's a
sure sign they have confi
dence in De Gaulle.
FRIVOLOUS note in closing:
You've heard of the myth
ical Perfect' Salesman who
was so good he could sell re
frigerators to Eskimos.
Well, he's been found.
Mr. C. J. Gibson, president
of an electric appliance man
ufacturing company in Green
ville, Mich., reports this
morning that one of his sales
men has actually sold an elee-'
trie refrigerator to an Eskimo
family near Churchill, Alas
ka. .
