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

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.

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.
