Future Headlines
Projected by
President of UPI
Wichita, Kan. (DPT) - Fore
seeable headlines of 1960 will
include the summit confer
ence in Paris, the American
elections, the increasing ten
sions in Cua, and possible fur
ther developments stemming
from Peiping, Frank H. Bar
tholomew, president of United
Press International, told a
private luncheon gathering at
the Wichita Club here Mon
day. Mentioning no party nor
candidate, not Including the
probable election results in
his headline projections, Bar
tholomew said that while poli
tics constituted the popular
news of the moment in the
United States the news of
more Dasic ana iar-reacnmg
consequences to the American
people was the nation's eco
nomic situation and trend.
He expressed an opinion
formed In a recent visit to the
UJS.S.R. that the Russian
people as a whole are being
conditioned for peace and not
war.
The situation in Cuba,
where the news agency is
augmenting its staff, calls, he
said, for particularly careful
and objective reporting as
tensions and emotions mount.

Pentagon Claims
GAO Has No Right
To Information
Washington -(CPD- President
Eisenhower has refused again
to give the comptroller gen
eral confidential administra
tion reports on foreign aid
operations, the White House
disclosed today.
The President forbade the
release of such reports to
Comptroller General Joseph
Campbell, who had asked the
International Cooperation Ad
ministration for its evaluation
reports on programs in Iran
and Thailand.
In a related development,
the General Accounting Office
complained to Congress today
that the Pentagonhas bottled
up two secret reports which
would help determine wheth
er U.S. military aid to Europe
is being managed efficiently.
No Right To Data
Campbell, who submitted
the complaint to Chairman
William L. Dawson (D-Ill.)
bitterly attacked the Defense
Department. Pentagon offic
ials have contended that the
GAO, which keeps track of
government spending, had no
right to the information and,
in fact, had a lot of nerve to
ask for it.
The question of how much
information Congress should
be given on overseas pro
grams arose several times dur
ing the last session of Con
gress. In regard to evaluation of
what is being done in Iran
and Thailand, Eisenhower
wrote Campbell in a letter
dated Dec. 15, the day the
President left Greece aboard
the cruiser Des Moines. The
letter reached the White
House Monday. . .
Not Compatible " "
In his letter, Eisenhower
said disclosure of the. full re
ports "would not.be compat
ible with the national inter;
ests.'' He said it was the estab
lished policy of the adminis
tration to give Congress and
the public the fullest possible
information "consistent with
the national interest."
However, he said; the ex
ecutive branch has a recog
nized constitutional duty to
withhold information the dis
closure of which would . not
be in the national interest.
The President described the
reports as an important factor
in decision-making inside the
ICA, and said requests for
their release had been con
sistently denied.
Consumers Asked
For Complaints
Washington-flJPD-Consumers
were invited today to take
their complaints about phony
bargains and other deceptive
selling methods directly to
the government for action..
Officials of the Federal
Trade Commission issued the
invitation at the end of their
first Christmas-week effort to
wise up the buying public on
trickery in the market
place."
The two-day conference, at
tended by representatives of
47 civic, professional and wel
fare groups, winds up today
with a discussion of how job
seekers .are foiled by "misrep
resentation of employment
opportunities."
' FTC officials said they
hoped the talks would cement
closer relations between the
government and the con
sumer.
FTC Chairman Earl - W.
Kintner said the commission
relies on spot checks, and
complaints from business com
petitors and consumers for in
formation on shady business
practices.
"But the most persuasive
voice of all is the voice of
the consumer," he declared.

Agreement Drawn Up For
Columbia Sasin Power Use
(Continued from Page 1) .
Power Principle No. 3
"Amount of power benefits
considered to result in the
downstream country from
regulation of flow by stor
age in the upstream country
should be determined in ad
vance by computing the dif
ference between the amount
of power that would be pro
duced at the downstream
plants with the storage regu
lation and the amount that
would be produced without
such regulation. This deter
mination would be made on
the assumption that upstream
storage is added at an agreed
upon level or . condition of
storage and power . supply.
The storage credit position'of
the upstream storage thus
established should , be pre
served throughout the period
of the agreement."
Canadian storage " credit
would be computed as addi
tions to . a "base system,"
which includes those storage
dams and lakes which cur
rently provide 13,032,000
acre-feet of storage in the
system-or almost half the 27
million acre-foot goal of the
main control plan for the
Columbia.
Increased Capacity
Power Principle No. 4-
"Amount of power benefits
determined to result in the
downstream country from
regulation of flow by storage
in the upstream country
would normally be expressed
as the increase in dependable
hydroelectric capacity in kil
owatts under agreed upon
critical stream flow condi
tion, and the increase in av
erage annual usable hydro
electric energy output in kilowatt-hours
on the basis of
an agreed upon period of
stream flow record . . ."
Power Principle No. 5
"Whenever it is necessary to
place a monetary value on
downstream power benefits
arising in one country from
storage operation in the other
country, the value should be
the estimated cost to the
downstream country of ob
taining equivalent power
from the most economical al
ternative source available ex
cept where the appropriate
Canadian and U.S. agencies
specifically agree on some
other basis of evaluation,".
Responsibility
Power Principle ; .No. ; 6
"Power benefits . . -. : should
be shared on a basis such that
the benefit, in power, to each
country will be substantially
equal . . . Each country
should assume responsibility
for providing that part of the
facilities needed for , the co
operative . development, that
is located within its own ter
ritory. Where such sharing
would not result in an advantage-to
each country-as
contemplated in

from
LaPointe's
Principle Np. 2, there should
be negotiated and agreed upon
such other division of bene
fits or other adjustment as
would be equitable to both
countries ..."
This means each country
will finance the facilities
on its side of the line,
including transmission that
will hook up at the bor
der. Canada will bear cost
of power transmission losses
Power Principle No. 7
"In addition to benefits from
cooperative use Of stored wa
ter, interconnection and co
ordination of the electric
power systems to the extent
that they are practicable and
desirable, would also provide
many mutual benefits which
should be shared ..."
this principle, the agreement
document stated "it would be
expected that all participat
ing power systems would re
tain their local autonomy but
w o u-1 d necessarily operate
their generation and trans
mission facilities under the
terms of appropriate agree
ments with- a view to maxim
izing mutual, benefits." -.
Advance Agreement
Flood Control Principle
No. l-"Flood control bene
fits should be determined on
the basis of an assured plan
of operation and flood con
trol regulations agreed to in
advance."
Flood Control Principle
No. 2 - "Downstream flood
control benefit of the up
stream storage to be operated
in accordance with an agreed
upon flood control plan
should be estimated in ad
vance on the basis of the ef
fectiveness of such storage
in meeting the flood control
objectives applicable in to
downstream county at the
time the upstream storage is
provided."
Any Canadian storage
would be given equal credit
with U.S. storage in helping
meet the objectives outlined
in the main control plan or
"308 report," which is to
control a flood the magnitude
of that of 1894 at The Dalles

Memorial Markers
For Servicemen
Salem-TOPD-The Department
of Veterans' Affairs said to
day the .government . is fur
nishing memorial markers to
honor servicemen missing in
action or whose remains could
not be identified or were, for
other reasons, not recovered.
A memorial section has
been set aside for the mark
ers in the Willamette - Na
tional cemetery in Portland.

ette are done so at govern
ment expense but they also
may be erected in private
cemeteries.
dams capable of storing 7.5
million acre-feet.
Flood Control Priciple
No. 3-"Monetary value of the
flood control benefits to be
assigned to the upstream
should be the estimated av
erage annual value of the
flood damage prevented by
such storage."
One-Half of Benefits
Flood Contral Principle
No. 4-"The upstream country
should be paid one-half of the
benefits as measured in Prin
ciple No. 3 . . ."
Americans say they talked
in terms of evaluating these
benefits at $1.5 to $2 million
annually, "which would be
paid in cash, not power at
Canada originally wanted.
1 Flood Control Principle
No. 5-" Amount due the up
stream country under the
foregoing principles should
be determined in advance of
construction of each storage
project. Payments to cover
the entire period that the ar
rangements are to be effec
tive should be made in cash
as a lump' sum or as periodic
amounts as may be agreed
upon to the mutual satisfac
tion of the upstream and
downstream countries."
Discussion; of this point fo
cused on the fact that Con
gress would have to put up
this cash before it could be
paid.
Should Be Compensated
Flood Control Principle No.
6 - "In the event of the down
stream country requesting
special operation for flood
control of storage Included in
the assured plan of operation,
beyond the type of operation
provided for in such assured
plan, the upstream country
should be compensated for any
loss of power which may re
sult therefrom. In the event
of the downstream' requesting
the operation, for flood con
trol, of storage not included
in the assured plan, the up
stream country should simi
larly be compensated for any
loss of power which may be
sustained by the upstream
country and in addition should
be paid, on the basis of half
the damages prevented by the
operation of the storage in
question." j
These principles emerged
from a series of special meet
ings held by the IC since , last
January, when the late Doug
las McKay was the U.S. rep
resentative. The Canadian
representative throughout was
Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton.
McKay died last July and was
never replaced officially, so
the concluding agreement was
reached between McNaughton
and his Canadian associates
and McKay's associates, Eu
gene Weber from the Corps of
Engineers, and Francis Adams
from the Federal Power Com-,
mission. .. '
Danger of Milk Contamination
From Insect Killers Lessened
Washington (UPD Govern
ment scientists said today that
the danger of milk contamina
tion by insect killers such as
DDT is being reduced.
Their "statement followed
publication of a 1958 govern
ment survey showing that
some milk in 11 cities across
the nation was tainted with
substantial amounts of pesti
cides containing chlorine. '
A spokesman for the food
and drug administration said
there was no evidence the in
sect killers cause cancer in
humans. But he said the milk
contamination was a problem
"worth workmg on."
Credit Two Developments
The scientists credited two
developments with cutting
down the risk of milk being
contaminated by use of the
pesticides on cattle feeds and
in storage barns.
They said the FDA has
warned the dairy industry it
