16 MAIL TRIBUNE, MtJford. Own, Tuewfiy, January 20, 1M Magnuson Northwest Development Plan By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribun Washington Corxepondnl Washington (Special) Sen. Warren G. Magnuson CD- Wash.) has issued a call to all N o r t hwest senators to sit down with the chief of the Army Engi neers and map out a river de v'e 1 o pment program they can all sup port. A. Kofet. smitfc ea. a g nuson has sent letters on his pro posal to his colleagues from Oregon, Washington, Mon tana, Idaho and Wyoming, which are all usually included In the broad consideration of Columbia basin development. Tm fed up with all this argument," declared Magnu son In an Interview. "There Three 'Mums Ge! All-American Rating by Group Harrisburg, Pa. (Science Service) Crimson Lady, Girl Friend and Flair will rule the garden roost this autumn as the new All-American award winning chrysanthemums. Under trail in locations across the country during the past year, the three mums have come through as the highest scoring and most sat isfactory blossoms. They are earlv enough for the most northern states and free blooming in the south, W. Kay Hastings, executive secretary of the All-American Mum Se lections corporation, reported here. Crimson Lady Is a cushion mum, with double flowers al most three inches across that are a rich, deep red. Girl Friend bears four-inch flowers on long, two-foot stems. The unusual color of this mum is described as a "bewitching dawn pink" varying from flesh to peach and apricot ' color overlay towards the flower center. Touch of Lavender Flair adds a touch of lav- endar to the new threesome. It is described as 18 inches high with a spread of about 30 inches and three and one- half inch double cactus flow ers. The 1959 award winners will be available for planting from April to June. Only plants from tested, disease- free foundation stocks carry the red, white and blue AAMS certification tags. All-American Mum Selec tions is a non-profit horticul tural research corporation, supported by chrysanthemum breeders and growers. Plans for New Commission Told. Organizational p r o c edure toward forming a separate recreation and parks commis sion for the county will be started soon, County Judge Earl Miller said today. He said he had obtained in formation from Marion coun , ty authorities on organization of its parks and recreation commission. Tentative plans along the same organization al lines as Marion county's commission will be presented the district attorney's office for a ruling on its legality, Miller said. Then the county court will discuss the pro posal, formulate a plan and make appointments. Marion county has a nine member commission and this first year of its existence is operating on a $800 budget. However, the county court there said this will probably be increased during the next fiscal year. During Wednesday's plan ning commission meeting. Mil ler obtained approval of the commission on organizing a parks and recreational com mission separate from the planning commission. The planning commission now has a subcommittee on parks and recreation. A parks and recreation pro gram is of such a broad scope that a separate body is need ed to handle such a program, Miller said. Minute droplets of various liquids can be coated with gelatin- Dyes, so protected, can be applied to paper to take the place of carbon. It is proposed to use the method for perfumes, unstable drugs and photographic papers. Two part adhesives could be ap plied to paper and mixed by rubbing on the surfaces to be joined. JO Calls for has to be some ground for agreement. There has to be some give and take." The senator, long an ad vocate of comprehensive .de velopment of the Columbia by the federal government, wants to include both private and public utility plans in his deliberations. "First let's get the private power companies ideas on what they are going to build,' said Magnuson. Then the PUDs and the municipalities. And then the federal govern ment." When conflicts arise that can't be resolved, Manguson advocates putting these pro jects aside momentarily and going forward with what can be agreed upon. Wants John Day Funds This year in Congress, Mag nuson said he will try to get a substantial amount of fed eral appropritions to advance construction of the John Day dam on the lower Columbia, plus funds to start the Lower Monumental dam on the low er Snake river. He also hopes to get planning money to start plans for Little Goose dam on the lower Snake. "But after these projects are finished, where do we go?" Magnuson. He is hopeful that a report he understands the Canadian government is preparing will end threats of a Canadian di version of the upper Columbia river and open the door to agreement between the two governments on building Lib by dam near the border in western Montana, and the Ar row Lakes storage project just over the border in British Columbia on the Columbia. The International Joint Commission, whose U.S. chair man is Douglas McKay, is working on these problems with the Canadians. Magnuson, a member of the Senate Appropriations Com mittee, thinks the climate this year will be favorable in Con gress for public works spend ing. He isn't concerned about whether the president's bud get seeks to hold the line against starting any new projects to reduce spending. 308 Review Report ' The starting basis, Magnu son indicated, for consulations among the Northwest senators will be the 308 review report which the Corps of Engineers put out last month. That re port will be. coming up for final consideration by the Corps Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors Mar. 10 Sen. Richard L. Neuberger has already introduced legis lation to authorize 13 projects recommended in that report for expanding Willamette Val ley flood control and power development. - The Engineers report sug gests construction of a high dam at Mountain Sheep in the Middle Snake river. Most members of Congress have shied away from indorsing this recommendation as yet, Some still hold out for high Hells Canyon, some prefer high Nez Perce, some are in trigued with high Pleasant Valley but all these diver gent views are finding little expression now because there is no sense of agrement be- twen many legislators. This is what Magnuson wants to achieve an agree ment that will permit some action, if not agreement on an entire detailed plan for the Snake. Then he hopes to put through an ominibus author ization bill covering the pro jects agreed upon by the Northwesterners at their forthcoming conferences. Commission Chairman Submits Resignation Jerry Poulos said today that he has submitted his resigna tion as chairman of Medford's parks and recreation com mission. Poulos, formerly station manager at California Oregon Television company's KBES TV station here, was recently named national sales repre sentative for California Ore gon's three stations. He was one of Mayor John Snider's original appointees to the commission after its crea tion last fall. He was elected chairman at its organizational meeting. He said today his new com pany duties would require his spending a lot of time away from Medford. flMSWUE iHSTHlEP'REMlREfl Wrap Around Windshield For An Makat and Mod.b Phone SP 3-3613 SELBY GLASS CO. 303 North Bartlett I Theyll Do It Every When stiletto shows opp her new slap-up she expects ahd gets the coh's aho W YAS-ND VWALL-TO-l WALL UACOWOOO PLOOQS-NOW,TWIS ROOM IS A PE PLICA OP UAPOCEOi'S STUD- J WE UAO RUSSELL REMNANT DECORATE , tin trt e A 1 169. yag Tmtarm Syndicate, Inc. War Id riyfcti Five-Pound Gadget Called May Revolutionize the Power Industry Washington -(UPD- The gov ernment has come up with a trifling little gadget that may revolutionize the power indus try. It is a five-pound device roughly resembling an old fashioned flat-iron. Its de scendants could make obso lete all the cumbersome and costly plants now supplying the power needs of man. This gadget, called Snap III, was , announced by the atomic energy commission Friday by way of the White House. It is a device for con verting heat energy directly into electrical energy. It doesn't bother with steam, turbines, generators, or any rotating machinery whatso ever. Snap III is, moreover, just one of many approaches to the dream of direct conver sion. Its novelty, if any, lies in the fact that it uses a radio active material as a heat source. This makes it immedi ately useful as an auxiliary power source in space where there isn't any oxygen to burn ordinary fuels. Old Principle Involved The Russians for years have been converting the heat of burning kerosene to electri city to run refrigerators and radios. The principle is the old one of . the thermocouple.

' The AEC called Snap III "a highly significant achieve ment." But it was only a "proof of principle device" which means the AEC expects more refined versions to pro duce more fantastic results. Work on Better Versions Fantastic is the word. Snap III, though its capacity is only aroundfive watts, can turn out as much power in 280 days as 290 times its weight in conventional batteries.

They are called Snap I and Snap II. A dozen U.S. in dustrial firms also are devel oping thermoelectric devices. The Navy is supporting some of these projects. Snap III employs about l-84th of an ounce of radio active polonium 210 as a heat source. Polonium 210 is pro duced in atomic reactors. An other potential heat source is cerium 144, which is a by product of atomic fission. Theoretically all the wastes of atomic power and produc tion plants could be so used. arranged recently at a joint meeting of the Sage Riders and Medford Trail Riders.

Another Banner Year for Pacific Tourism Expected San Francisco - (UPD - It looks like ' another banner year for Pacific area tourism Items: Five new superliners are due to be buift for Pacific service Jet aircraft will be in troduced in July Hotels in and around the Pacific Basin plan to increase their total number of beds by 2,000 to 40,000 All told, the Pacific Area Travel Association forecasts that .600,000 persons will be traveling around the Pacific this year, All that keeps the 600,000 figure from shooting higher is a lack of hotels to shelter travelers, PATA said This problem will be aired at the Eighth Annual Pacific travel conference scheduled for Singapore Jan. 26-30 Twenty-two countries, islands, states, territories and colonies in the Pacific will be repre sented at the PATA-sponsored conference. More beds will be needed as school telchers, retired folk, students and business men with pockets filled by continued prosperity look for new recreation and trade. In 1958 airlines posted traffic gains of up to 35 per cent. Steamship . passenger traffic was up 13 per cent over 1957. So many people want to visit the Pacific PATA ex pects airlines to boost their seating capacity by nearly one-third. Flights have trip led in the last seven years, Qantas : Empire Airways will be the first to put pure jets into service, using Boe ing 707s. Canadian Pacific Airlines already is employing prop-jet Bristol Britannias on its Pacific runs. But steamship companies also will be bidding for the tourists, offering new super- liners oh which to relax.
