( Army Engineers Outline Program For Green Peter Washington-dTB-The Army engineers have projected a $52,400,000 construction pro gram for Oregon's Green Pet er aam over me next six fiscal years, according to Rep Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.)- Porter got the estimate from Maj. Gen. Willian F. Cassidy, Army Engineer chief of civil works, in respopse to a request for more details on the government's long range plans for the project. One of 24 Projects In its fiscal 1961 budget covering July 1, 1960 to June 30, 1961, the administration asked congress to appropriate $1,400,000 to start construc tion of the dam. The project was one of 24 engineer projects recommend ed for a new start this com ing fiscal year. Cassidy revealed the fol lowing engineer plan for re quested appropriations in suc ceeding fiscal years: 1962, $7, 500,000; 1963, $10 million; 1964, $15 million; 1965, $13, 500,000, and 1966 $5 million. The congressman said that "of course these figures are dependent on a variety of fac tors, including approval by the Budget Bureau and both houses of Congress, possible increase in material and labor costs, and unforeseen changes in engineering requirements." Cassidy reported that dur ing 1961 the requested Green Peter funds would be spent as follows: $665,000 for ac quisition of reservoir prop erty; $200,000 for initiating road relocation; $500,000 for engineering and design ex penses; and $35,000 for su pervision and administration costs.

Bob Crosby's Daughter Refused Family Security and Assistance Editor's Note: This, the second of two dispatches on what's wrong with the Crosbys tells of Bob's troubles with his rebellious daughter. 147 Jobs Pared, Hatfield Asserts Salem-(UPD-Gov. Mark Hat field said Thursday that so far 147 jobs have been cut from state executive department branches during his administration. People are not being dis missed, he said, but the posts are not being replaced as some employees retire or oth erwise leave. Hatfield said this total has nothing to do with employee increases in institutions, the highway department or in education. The 1959 Legisla ture provided more positions in those categories due to in creased functions. By RICK DU BROW UPI Hollywood Writer Hollywood -rtlPB- She had everything a girl could want looks, money and Crosby for a last name. Yet Cathy Crosby-daughter of Bob and niece of Bing-re-belled against the name and rejected the comforts it gave her. She moved out of the family home. Last October, her parents announced that the 20-year-old girl was in a hospital, suffering from a nervous breakdown. Only the doctors can com ment officially on the case. But Hollywood has known of Cathy's rebellion for several years. It began in 1957 when the voluptuous, dairk-haired girl who strongly resembles Eliz abeth Taylor-had a romance with Dino Castelli, 32 maitre d' of a Sunset Strip restaurant. Her father disapproved, so she moved out. Father and daughter didn't speak to each other again for more than a year. Meanwhile, her resentment against the Crosby name was building up. Aid Refused Refusing financial aid from her family, trying to get by on her own as a singer and actress, she said: "One of the reasons moved out was to keep the world from thinking I need ed Dad and the Crosby name to be successful. "I found a job at the Trop- icana Hotel (in Las Vegas, Nev.) on my own, and I've appeared on the Eddie Fish er TV show without help from anyone. When I was appearing with Jayne Mansfield at the Tropicana, Dad was starring at another hotel in Vegas. One day we passed each other in the hotel lobby, but he didn't even say hello. "I live in a small apartment with another girl, and to be honest, it's really a financial drag. I spend all my money on clothes. "But I think my looks and ' OPEN HSEQ HOUSE SB I I JAN17-24 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS ACTIVITIES Main Lounge: Movies of 'Y' Activities at Diamond Lake Camp POOL: 2:30 Lifesavinq and Basic Swim Strokes Lanel Wilkes 3:00 Swim Team Exhibition Wilson Gilinsky 3:30 Demonstration of Beginning Swim Lessons Willard Harwood 4:00 Open Swimming for All GYM: 2:30 High School Basketball Charles Thompson 3:45 Women's Volleyball Vi Lewis 4:15 Boys' Gym Class Curt Saltmarsh SOCIAL HALL: 2:00 Music Program Lynn Sjolund 4:00 Square Dancing Doug Fosbury, Caller HANDBALL AND EXERCISING: Ushers Provided by Hi-Y and Tri Hi-Y Refreshments: Dr. and Mrs. Gene Chamberlain Projectionist: John Morrow YMCA Activities Director: Bruce Burns YMCA Director: Bob Jones 'Y' Week Chairman: Buzz Chamberlain Open House Chairman: Dr. Earl Johnson SUPPORT YOUR MEDFORD YMCA FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY This advertising published in cooperation with the Medford YMCA as another service of ... (TON) talent will see me through- in spite of the fact that my name is Crosby. Never Met Aunt Referring to Bing's wife Kathryn, she said: "I've never met Auntie Kathryn. Maybe I never will And I haven't seen Uncle Bing for four years. "Maybe there were a lot of things wrong about my being so independent and leaving home, but it took me away from the little world of the Crosbys, and it's good to be away. "If my career doesn't work out the way I hope it will, maybe I'll fall in love and get married like the rest of the Crosbys. Cathy, who appeared in three films, "Night of the Quarter Moon," "Beat Gener ation" and "Girls Town," ad mitted that her name hadn't hurt her chances in Holly wood "My voice and my name are God-given gifts," she said, "but it takes more than that to reach the top of the ladder. If and when I become a big success, I'll know I got there on my own-and not just because my name is Crosby." Cathy's preoccupation with her family name had also tor- m e n t e d her father at one time. Despite his excellence as a Dixieland jazz leader, he was-and is-often referred to as "Bing's brother." "I hated the relationship at first," he said. "I credit Bing for one thing-getting me into show business. Followed Brother "Perhaps if he hadn't been in it, I would have finished my law course at Gonzaga University and been practic ing today. "Instead I followed Bing into the entertainment field, and I've been the victim of an unconscious comparison ever since. I've got to sing better just because I'm Bing's brother. I'm always being measured against Bing. It used to. gripe me, but it doesn't any longer. Over the years, Bing and Bob have remained close often joking about their chil dren. When Bing s sons were dating heavily in Las Vegas, Bob cracked that he didn't perform in the gambling re sort because "I don't want to mess around in my nephews' playpen." When Bob's wife gave birth to her second daughter, Junie Malia, he wired Bing: "Now I have two girls and three boys, a full house. Try to top that!" Bing, who now has six children but had only four sons at that time, wired back: "Check the poker rules, son. Four of a kind still beats a full house." Even Cathy was close to the family early in her career. She made her debut on Bing's radio show when she was 10. And when she was 16, she sang on her father's radio program for $150 a week, plus $2,500 a year for clothes Met Frenchman Her sense of romance be gan early too. When she re turned from France four years ago, she reported breathlessly: "On my last night in Paris I met a tall, handsome Frenchman who proposed to me. I'd never met him before, but he told me he loved me and asked me to marry him. Frenchmen are more sophis ticated than Americans." Shortly after it was an nounced that Cathy had suf fered a nervous breakdown, her family suffered another tragedy. On Nov. 9, police reported that Bob was stabbed twice by his wife, June, with a letter opener after he allegedly struck her during an argument. Bob denied striking his wife, but the marriage ap peared to be on the rocks. And the public's image of the Crosbys as carefree, hap py-go-lucky family of show business had been blurred some more. CATHY CROSBY Comforts Rejected Former Crater Lake Employee Gets Award Ormand W. Hogue, former plumber at Crater Lake Na tional park, has been awarded the department of the interi or's Commendable Service Award for devoted service, the park service has announced. The award consisted of a ci tation, certificate, bronze medal and lapel emblem, and a department of the interior lifetime pass. Hogue, who retired from the National Park Service last March after eight years of service, is now living in Pendleton. Grain Exports Increase in 1959 Salem - (UPD - Grain inspec tors of the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture said Thursday a substantial in creas in grain exports moving out of Oregon ports was re corded in 1959 over 1958. Last year 59.8 million bushels of grain moved over seas from Portland and As toria. This compares with 45.5 million bushels in 1958. Another 1959 increase was a 32 per cent hike in barge movement of grain into Port land. Grain movement into Portland by truck dropped in 1959 to 10.3 million bushels from 13.6 in 1958. Total grain inspections, in cluding export, snowed a de cline at Portland, Pendleton and Astoria. FIRM FOUNDER DIES Albuquerque, N.M.-IUPD-Col. R. L. Harrison, 63, founder of the largest heavy equip ment and machinery firm in the state and one of New Mex ico's leading businessmen, died Wednesday. Margaret V. - My husband is a boob. Leonard V. - She's always looking at what the other fel low has. Margaret V. - My husband and I have been married ten years and have four adorable children. Our only problem is money. My husband just doesn't earn enough to keep us going decently. Leonard has been with the same company for 15 years, but he makes less than some of the men who do his kind of work and have been there ten years. The reason for this is that other men know how to make demands, but my husband is a boob. He doesn't stand up for his own rights. ' I don't see how we can go on this way. My parents keep helping us with gifts, but I am ashamed to take any more from them. I'd be willing to go out to work, but Len won't let me because of the chil dren. Leonard V. - Marge just says that about going out to work to torture me. She knows darn well she can't go to work with our youngest still in the crawling stage. Plenty of men support fam ilies as big as mine on no more than I earn. It's not that my salary is so small, it's that Marge's eyes are so big. She's always looking at what the other fellow has. My company hasn't over paid me, but they treat me right. I have a slight physi cal handicap and they con sider that when they assign me to particular jobs. I don't feel I have any beef coming, although it's true some guys are making out better. But what I can't stand is Marge's constant nagging. It will drive me away from home. The Council: It is an inter esting fact that naggers near ly always defeat their own purposes. This case is a striking ex ample. When she calls her husband a "boob" and com pares him with other men who supposedly do a better job for their families, she undermines the very confi dence he needs to get ahead. His ego withers under her contempt and her bitterness makes him miserable and afraid to face the world. Recent psychological stud ies show that naggers are basically individuals who have a bone to pick with life. They feel unhappy and dissatisfied within themselves and look around for some thing or somebody to blame. If their problems were sud denly solved, they would soon find another cause for com plaints. We urge Margaret to ac cept the fact that nagging will never win anything -neither with children nor grownups. If there is a prob lem to be solved it is so much better to sit down and dis cuss it once in a rational spirit, to try to see a solu tion and, if no solution pre sents itself, to accept things as they are with good grace. The subject should be drop ped and the attention turned in another direction. The last point is important. When a nagger turns his en ergies into something besides nagging, the old problem seems to dissolve as if by magic. Margaret should make an effort to find some fun in life. She may find her spontaneous laughter acting as a tonic to her husband's spirits. It could build up the courage and initiative he needs to advance in his work.

HUGE PLANE BILL New York-OJPD-Eastern Air lines figured today the cost of each of the DC-8-B jets it is placing in service this month is about equivalent to the entire U.S. national debt in 1841-or equivalent to three times a jet's weight in silver. The planes cost about $5,250, 000 each and weigh 124,288 pounds empty. No Action Taken On Meter Proposal Ashland The Ashland city council Tuesday took no for mal action on a request that parking meters be removed from downtown Ashland streets. Councilman Glenn Revel, chairman of the council's traf fic committee, said that al though the group had not met to discuss the proposal an in formal survey had been taken among many of the petition ers. Most of them believed, he said, that removal of meters would not offer a complete solution to the problem pre sented in shopper resentment of the meters per se, as well as parking and traffic con trol. They looked to the city for a solution, Revel said. Objections to removing the meters include difficulties of administering time zone en forcement and a method of replacing lost revenue. Eldon Soripter, one of the petition ers, said the meters "are do ing the job. It is a question of finding something better." The council indicated it would not drop the proposal from consideration.
