Hearing Washington- (UPD -Witnesses from the Pacific Northwest testified before the Senate In terstate and Foreign Com merce Committee Tuesday and urged members to approve legislation which would co ordinate all power projects in the Columbia River basin. The legislation provides for voluntary coordinating agree ments, which, when approved by the Federal Power Com mission, would obligate pay ments and establish annual charges for downstream bene fits. Proponents of the measures contend each comprehensive use of projects would result in an increase of between 500,000 and one million kilo watts of firm power without additional capital investment.

Science Service, Inc. v (Second in a series on Air Pollution) A rising tide of public ac tion against air pollution is beginning to flow now in var ious parts of the country. It represents public resent ment at paying $7.5 billion es timated as air pollution's year ly toll in property damage, and an unknown price in health. Although the tide is just be ginning to flow, experts say there will be no stemming it when it gathers sufficient strength - an eventuality they foresee. Notable Eddy Already there has been one notable eddy of public agita tion on the West Coast. Growl ing editorially with fangs bared, the Los Angeles Mir ror News attacked what it considered a weak state pro gram for backing up Los An geles county's air pollution measures. It called for "a series of laws that provide for state-wide (auto) exhaust inspection and control; re quirements for installation of exhaust control devices when available, and a ban on the sale of automobiles after 1961 without exhaust control de vices." The automobile was singled out because it has been found a chief contributor to smog. Los Angeles seeks strong state action because its own stiff control measures have heavily policed local industry yet smog is worse now than ever. . Like Los Angeles, other cities with serious air pollu tion problems now face a stalemate or the possibility of losing grouna in their battle against pollution. Highlights Possibility This highlights the dismal possibility that Americans may be destined to live the rest of their lives in pollu tion. Like other cities, Los An geles "cleaned up" only to find that pollution is still there. For instance, in the late 30's and early 40's, sev eral cities attacked their smoke problems. Now they find much of the visible smoke is gone, but pollution has come in other guises - such as invisible gases fom industrial smokestacks and auto tail pipes. Many experts say these big cities, from coast to coast, are merely holding their own at present. In the light of ex pected industrial expansion to meet our growing population needs, they will lose ground in fighting the pollution men ace, unless they can get strong local laws. This is important. This is one time when tne ieaerai Government can take only limited action. Air pollution is peculiarly a local problem: The metallurgical: plant in one town may send out entirely different pollutants than a blast furnace, or a rock quar ry or a chemical plant. Each represents a local condition that must be met locally with ordinances and state laws for the most effective "clean up" program. Pollution Statutes Out of our 50 states, only seven have state-wide air pol lution enforcement statutes: Delaware, Florida, Oregon, Idaho, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York. Laws Bob Hope Will Be Honored at Seattle Seattle (UPD - Comedian Bob Hope, who holds the world's traveling record for entertain ing servicemen abroad, will be honored by the Navy when he is here Aug.. 7 for Seattle's 10th annual Seafair. Rep. Thomas M. Pelly (R Wash.) notified Greater Seat tle, Inc., that Hope will be presented the Navy's meritori ous public service citation as a special "thank you" for his around-the-w o r 1 d entertain ment of men in the armed forces. ; Secretary of Navy William B. F r a n k e will make the award. H6pe and his family will be honorary grand marshals for a torchlight parade during the Seafair celebration which has become noted as a salty sum mer Mardi Gras. He will join his two friends, Bing Crosby and Phil Harris, grand mar shals of the main parade, in helping Seattle celebrate the occasion which starts Friday. Hope has traveled more than 1,500,000 miles and en tertained more than 10 million sailors, soldiers and marines in almost every part of the world. Approximately 2,000 Navy men will be present on the flight deck of the carrier USS Yorktown when Hope is deco rated Aug. 7. Average traffic sign can be read at 225 feet by a person with normal vision. in four states . California, Ohio, Tennessee and Washing ton provide state assistance for local enforcement efforts. Two new California meas ures empower the state to set "standards' for clean air, re lated to health and crop dam age, and to determine by Feb. 1, 1960, maximum allowable emissions from auto tail-pipes. More state legislatures might pass air pollution con trols if they were not "rural controlled," one observer be lieves. But even farmers are taxed by pollution perhaps more seriously than realized. In 1956, court cases due to livestock and crop losses traceable to fluorine alone amounted to over $50,000,000. Visible injury to California crops is estimated at 86,000, 000 a year. This does not in clude losses due to retarded growth, reduced yield, poor food quality all caused by pollution. Growing Mobilization Although only a handful of cities throughout the nation have attacked smoke or pol lution problems, there is evi dence of growing mobilization against them. Joint pollution programs are now in the works for New York and New Jersey, Ohio and West Vir ginia sharing the same air mass in the upper Ohio Val ley,, and even an internation al program for Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. To help states, and their polluted cities, the Federal Government has authorized $12,000,000 in the last four years to be spent on pollution research and development. Much of this money has gone into the "engineering' of air pollution, and in setting up a network of over 200 air sam pling stations. These are equipped by the U.S. Public Health Service and operated by local people. Data funneled into P.H.S.'s pollution headquarters in Cin cinnati in 1957 are believed to have yielded the most sig nificant results yet achieved. They showed dramatically how the air of some cities prdudly considered "very clean" by residents - in truth was shockingly polluted. The message is beginning to strike home. With growing ap prehension over radioactive fallout from nuclear tests, more and more people are be coming concerned over what is in the air, and what can be done about it. Next: Dawn of a new era. A social meeting of all Cen tennial Fiesta committeemen and helpers will be held to night at 8 o'clock in St. Mary's annex, according to George Holtzinger, chairman of the coming festival. Assisting Holtzinger with plans for the meeting are co chairmen Ernie Flakus and Bill Dugan as well as the vari ous committee chairmen. Husbands and wives of all workers are also invited to at tend the meeting. Immediately preceding the social hour a brief business session will take place to dis cuss new developments in Fiesta plans. A financial re port has been prepared by Dick Randolph and his fi nance committee, and progress reports will be given by booth chairmen. The Centennial Fiesta will be held Aug. 7-9 at the Med ford armory. It will include attractions and free entertain ment for the entire family. It is being sponsored and arranged by members of Sac red Heart parish and is open to the public as an official state Centennial event.. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.
