Much of the evening was spent reminiscing about the hazards and thrills of Perky and his "wing walking" days, when he teamed up for some real "barnstorming" with the famous flier Clyde Pangborn. Later in the evening, in con trast to these "barnstorming days, C. C. Haggard, Copco safety engineer, presented Perky with a special award for completing more than 39 years of work without a lost time accident. One little known highlight of Perky's career was re vealed when Humphreys read from a 1927 newspaper clip ping, telling of Perky being awarded the Insull Medal for saving the life of Barney Grey, who had accidently contacted a line switch. Perky applied resuscitation methods in reviving the unconscious Grey. The Insull Medal was awarded by the National Elec tric Light association.

Army En gineers have the anchor in pos session. The anchor was picked up by the crew of the dredge tender Polhemus which was grapling on the river bed for another anchor lost by dredge last week. The anchor has a hard wood stock, 13 inches thick and a wrought iron shank 10 feet long. The flukes measure seven feet from point to point. The chain is wrought Iron and about 75 feet long.

CBIC To Study Opening of River Richland, Wash.-IUPD-A pro posal to open 30 miles of Co lumbia river area now barri caded at the Hanford atomic energy plant to small boat passageways was taken under advisement here by the Co lumbia Basin Interagency Committee Tuesday. The proposal was put to the committee by Howard Elmore, assistant manager of the Che lan County Public Utility Dis trict, who asked that the pas sageways be provided to the headwaters on the Columbia at Revelstoke, B.C. Small boat dockage and fa cilities to get boats around dams above the Tri-Cities also was advocated by Elmore. estimated cost had risen. In prepared testimony. Por ter also warned that consider able flood damage In Linn county would continue until the dam is built. To Cost $64 Million He asked the committee not to hold off funds for the dam because lt is the "largest new construction start" In the en gineers corps' budget. The Bureau of Reclamation budget, he said, "includes at least one start that makes Green Peter look like a bea ver dam." He referred to the Yellow Tail project in Mon tana which will cost an esti mated $110 million. The Green Peter dam is ex pected to cost $64 million to construct. The 1961 budget calls for an outlay of $1,400, 000 to get construction under way. Porter quoted from a letter from Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon asserting that "delay in construction can only add to the annual flood loss and to the ultimate construction cost." The Oregon congressman also asked the subcommittee to include in the budget a $30,000 item to finance pre construction planning on a rehabilitation project for the south jetty of the Umpqua river near Reedsport in Doug las county. He said it was the only boost he was asking this year over the figures submit ted by the Budget Bureau.
