Private Power Companies Silent By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington The private power companies were strangely silent during the re- rT3T71 cent hearings nere on me idea of calling for a 5-year morato rium on further dam building below Hells Canyon so that fish re search can try A. Root. Smitli to soive ine fish vs. dams controversy. Such a delay would hold up Pacific Northwest Power company for construction of high Mountain Sheep dam, so it was expected the utilities would try to defeat the pend ing resolution sponsored by seven Northwest Democratic senators. While some of their repre sentatives sat through the hearings, listening to public power and fisheries conserva tionists applauding the pur pose of the resolution, they remained non-committal on whether the power companies would oppose it. Neulral Position The Eisenhower administra tion took a neutral position, for the most part. Some of its spokesmen pointed out that the resolution under consider " ation would not have the bind ing force of law on the execu tive branch of the federal gov ernment because it was only a concurrent resolution, which would be passed by both the House and Senate but not sent $60,000 Damages Sought in Suit A complaint asking more than $60,000 in damages in connection with a traffic acci dent on Aug. 9, 1957, was filed in circuit court recently by Lillie Opal Mildred Wil kins, 609 West 10th st., Med ford. The complaint cnarges En glebert Stenger of Sepulveda, Calif., with negligent, careless and reckless driving, as a re sult of which Mrs. Wilkins suf fered reportedy permanent in juries. The accident occurred at the intersection of Eighth and Hol ly sts. in Medford. According to the complaint, Mrs. Wilkins says that she re ceived injuries to her head, arm, and abdomen, and that the .effects of these injuries are nermanem. . . Mrs. Wilkins, manager of the Medford Convalescent tt i: nnfi nume, is asuing $jv,uuu gen eral damages and $10,600 special damages, to cover al leged medical care and loss of earnings, as well as costs. Jones and Reeder, Medford attorneys, are representing Mrs. Wilkins. V Paris' Fillies to Appear in Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nev. -UPD- Get ready, men, Paris' famous Fol lies Bergere is coming to Las Vegas. Producer Lou Walters of the Tropicana hotel announc ed today the entire Follies' cast of about 50 livelies will appear at the Tropicana Christmas day for the opening ot an indefinite engagement. Walters said he hoped the engagement would run a full year. The producer, who returned from Paris Sunday, reported he completed negotiations with Follies owner Paul Der bal for the engagement.

They suggested that a joint resolution, which has the force of law, would be better. Whether this is a strategic suggestion or not remains to be seen. But it would give the president the opportunity to veto the resolution, if the ad ministration should decide to oppose it. The private utilities might seek to persuade him to veto it, should Congress make it a joint resolution. 0 m DEFIANT LADY Destiena O'Leary, 22, defiantly fires a tigaret at press photographer outside a New York police station, where she and other woman (entering car) were booked on charges of prostitution. Go Ahead and Spray, But ' There Will Always Be A Bug Sounds fantastic and impos sible, but scientists, peering through powerful microscopes actually have seen tumors on the brain of an ant. Neither would it be beyond the realm of possibility for someone to discover insects experiencing nervous breakdown, ' or bugs with neurotic complexes which might cause them to jump when they should crawl, or fly when they would be better off standing still. ' Nervous disorders of vari ous kinds could be developed by any insect which happens to hear about all the powerful insecticides being planned or developed for their destruc tion. Hearing about those things would be enough : to "scare the pants off" the brav est bug. Keep Even In spite of it all, they al ways seem to keep even, or at times . to come out ahead. Think of all the big chemical companies with thousands of men, hundreds of chemists, all working night and day with millions of dollars worth of equipment and machines just to make a compound that . will kill a bug." But the bugs "pay them no mind." Not a single one of them seems to have a worried look on its homely face. It would be a pretty conceit- "Let's Stop Filth through the Mails! It became evident in the hearings that the hope of those who proposed this mora torium is .that fishery "re search might be increased and succeed in solving the prob lem of getting migratory fish around high dams so that the Nez Perce dam could be built. Block Salmon Runs Virtually everyone is afraid of advocating that project at this time, because it would block the Salmon river's big Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins ed optimist that would claim there are fewer bugs today than there were 50 or 100 years ago in spite of the tons of poison and the train-loads of insecticides that have been squirted and sprayed on just about everything that grows During the last decade the amount of poison designed to kill bugs is beyond calcula tion. Science admits, reluctantly, that of all living things on the face of this earth, bugs are the only creatures that have never lost a single species. Disgust ingly enough, all the different kinds of insects with which the world started are, still here, and in goodly numbers. As if the situation was not bad enough, entomologists are said to be discovering about 4,000 new and different spe cies every year. Add this to the already known and clas sified 700,000 kinds, and the problem gets just a little sticky-or buggy. If you think you have them licked in your own yard, just drop a piece of food, or a green leaf, or plant a garden. Then grab your faithful spray gun, close your eyes and squirt. But don't deceive your self. The bugs are still going to be among those present for a long time to come. . (Released by The Register and . Tribune Syndicate, 1959) Medford Mail Tribune At Hearings on Moratorium spawning runs. Nevertheless, it has been recognized by some power authorities as the best possible project in that area. "The crisis on the Snake river is that if we were to go ahead with a construction pro gram now on the assumption that the fish problem cannot be solved, we would have to write off the Salmon river (for power development)," Gus Norwood, executive sec retary, Northwest Public Pow er cssociation, said. "If we beat this problem, we can build some of the fin est power dams in that area," he added. "Nez Perce would harness two rivers (the Sal mon and the Snake) for the price of one dam.

My husband and I have quite different ideas about child rearing - and I'm afraid we're confusing and up setting our children because of this. We'd like to know who is right. . I feel the most important thing children can learn is how to get along with others To have good relationships with others they must be able to do the same things, share the same experiences. jyiy nuosana tninics tnis is "conformism" and he happens to be a rugged individualist. He wants the children to be different "stand on their own two feet" is the way he puts it. Howard P. I think that the worst thing that has happen ed to us in the twentieth cen tury is the collapse of all standards except one being with the crowd. I want my children to learn to think for themselves. I do not -approve of a 15-year-old girl wearing lipstick or going to a party at which alcoholic beverages are served. Lots of girls in our . community do these things, but not my daughter. Our son, too, has twice as many responsibilities and half the privileges of the average boy of 12. Our kids resent it, sure. But I know that someday they'll be grateful for their upbring ing. The Council: We agree with Howard that the sacrifice of personal' standards and indi- vidualims in thought on the altar of "good relationships with others" has been a de structive trend in our times.

Reluctant on Stand The corps of engineers were reluctant to take . a stand. They are just concluding a re view of the 308 report, and until that is out probably next January-their opinion of the best way to develop that river area won't be certain. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.), chief sponsor of the resolution, is in no hurry about rushing it through. He says field hearings in the Pa cific Northwest may be held this fall. He has heard from some groups, such as the In land Empire Waterways asso ciation, requesting to be heard. By that time, possibly the private utilities will have de- the most comforming stage of their lives. At no other time of life does being one of the crowd seem quite so import ant. It is necessary for every one m our society to pass through some such stage. It is a way of growing up grow ing away from parents and forming ties with one's own generation. We don't think it is neces sary to give in to every de mand of the child's at this stage simply because he says "the others are doing it." But it is necessary to make some allowance for his need to be noticed and approved in his own age group. Howard is a little oversold on his notion that his chil dren's resentment will auto matically turn to gratitude when they get older. It is true that most children tend to become more understanding of their parents' point of view and appreciative of their ef forts as they mature. But we do think it is necessary or de sirable to a child to go through years of bitterness and unhap piness in order to learn Moth er or Dad was right or meant right. A far better way of bring ing a child forward into his own individuality would be to establish certain basic prin ciples with great firmness, but to be understanding and open to reason on details. A child who knows that his point of view gets a fair ana sympa thetic hearing is far more apt to have the courage of his convictions than one wno is forced to accept the law hand ed down by a rigid parent.

General Features Corp.) 90 Per Cent of Voters Expected To Cast Ballots Honolulu (DPS The many colored peoples of these Polynesian islands go to the polls today to elect their first representatives as the 50th state of the United States. Enthusiasm for statehood was so high that Secretary of State Ed Johnson predicted 90 per cent of registered 'voters would cast ballots to elect a governor, lieutenant governor, two U.S. senators, a U.S. con gressman and 62 state legisla tors. Virtually every race and na tion which has contributed to the population of the islands is represented on the ballot. The only contest between two Caucasians is that for gover nor.

Expected io Win A Hawaiian-born Japanese- American, Daniel K. Inouye, a Democrat, is expected to wm election to the House of Rep resentatives over Republican Charles H. Silva. For Senate seat "A," Demo crat Frank Fasi, a Connecticut-born businessman, is op posed by millionaire Chinese American Hiram Fong, Repub lican, in what is expected to be another close race. Former Gov. Oren Long, a Democrat, is expected to de feat Wilfred C. Tsukiyama, Republican, for Senate seat B". Candidates for lieutenant governor are James Kealoha, Republican, a Hawaiian American, and Mitsuyuki Kido, a Japanese-American. The new state has 183,000 registered voters, and Johnson predicted 165,000 will vote to day.
