About 2:30 a.m. Sunday on Vefs Urged To Apply For College Veterans planning to train under the Korean GI Bill this fall have been urged by S. T. Brannock, contact representa tive, VA Domiciliary, White City, to submit applications now rather than wait until the last minute. The same advice holds true for young men and women who intend to start school in the fall under the War Or phans Education program. By filing an application now, all processing can be completed long before classes start, Brannock pointed out. Any snags or special problems can be ironed out with lime to spare. But waiting until the last minute when VA re gional affices may be swamp ed Willi applications may risk delay. Applications for Korean Gl Bill training or War Orphans Education may be obtained at the contact office, VA Domi ciliary, or from any VA office. VA estimates that a quarter of a million veterans will be in training this fall under the Korean Gl Bill. Another 12,000 young men and women are expected io be in school under the War Orphans pro gram, Brannock slated. Acquitted Man To Face Other Charge Portland - (UPH Bernard James Kitzpalrick. 18.

W. C. Williams said Monday" that Washington state has hired a firm of consulting enginS.'rs to reevalute anti cipated traffic over the pro posed Columbia river bride at the river mourn. The $24 million bridge, which would connect Astoria, Ore., with Point Ellice on the Washington side, was propos ed by Oregon last year. Wash ington officials have been lukewarm. Williams said Washington has offered to underwrite one fourth of the cost but Oregon believes the project should be 50-50. Not Enthusiastic The Washington Highway department also suggested. that each stale pay foiitH own approach. Oregon offici als are nol enthusiastic be cause the Oregon approach would cost $1.4 million while Washington's would be $160, 000. The difference, Williams said, involves terrain on the Oregon side, where the ship channel is located. Oregon's approach at one spot would have to be 200 feet high. Bonds Approved Last year the Oregon Leg islature approved $24 million in bonds for the bridge, con tingent on Washington's foot ing half the $1.2 million defi cit per year for 20 years. This was declined. Williams estimalcs that loll revenue from the bridge would be up lo $400,000 a year. Smith Urges Oregon Growth Pendleton-IUPII-Formcr Gov.

BECHTOLD United Press International New York - liiPli - Pipeline construction should approach a record $3.8 billion in 1961, thanks to Federal Power com mission tardiness. The FPC has an estimated billion dollars in gas pipe line expansion to act upon at pres ent. And with adjournment scheduled for the entire month of August, many of the lines originally scheduled to be built this year will have to be carried over into 1961. Pipe Line News, magazine for the industry, says thai the FPC tardiness has accounted for pipe line construction in the first half of 1960 being down from 35 to 40 per cent from a year ago. Early esti mates had indicated that this was to be a tremendous year for pipe line work. However, the FPC began action this summer on long pending proposals which should bring about a large amount of pipe line construc tion in the second half of 1960, according to the maga zine. Early in July alone the commission approved $75 mil lion in Peoples Gulf Coast Natural Gas Pipeline Co., and Natural Gas Pipeline Co., of America involving 522 miles of lines. $400 Million Mark Meanwhile, the magazine said, applications filed with the FPC thus far in 1960 to build new natural gas trans mission facilities are pushing all 3 Chevron gasolinesat no increase in price! toward the $400 million mark These, coupled with a heavy backlog of projects held with out certificates by the FPC at the end of 1959 indicate a pattern on line laying work that will mean sharp increases in 1961 over anyCk-ent year, it added. Pipe line construction fell 20 per cent in 1959, and it now appears that about 40 per cent of natural gas trans mission construction predict ed for this year may very well not be built until 1961. The magazine points out lhat whether the current de pressed rate of new construc tion in the industry matures to the $3.8 billion figure next year still depends upon acvtjpn by the FPC on natural as transmission facilities. The commission, it says, is under congressional pressure to speed up its work but in dications are that any quicker action on construction proj ects will have to wail for some form of legislation to relieve the FPC rate case backlog. Cases Pending There are more than 3,000 producer rate cases pending FPC action, and processing these jams action of construc tion projects. Even so the magazine says a trend toward consolidating hearings on construction by the commission may help push next year's dollar vol ume even closer to $4 billion, depending on how much cash Gunnar Says Demos Have 'No Faith' McMinnville -IliPH- Oregon Republican ChairmanPeter Gunnar said Mondayniglu lhat the Democrats have a "No - Faith-in - America" atti tude." He told Yamhill county GOP workers here lhat the basic question raised at the GOP and Democratic national conventions is "whether the American people believe in the success of America and the American way of life." BRANCH TO OPEN Salem - IUPH - Zylco Cutlery company, a subsidiary of Zyl stra corporation, Spokane, an nounced today it will open a district sales office here. Lo cal manager Bernard Wilhclm said eventually the branch will employ 200 persons. is budgeted for 1961 exten sions and improvements on crude oil and products pipe lines. In all, at least a billion dollars worth of natural gas pipe line and other construc tion is expected to gel the go ahead from the FPC this season. About half of this is represented by cases on which the examiner has completed testimony, and which are set for oral argument before the full commission. The magazine says the only questions as the cases camp up for oral argument are Ihe details, since all signs indi cate that the FPC will give approval lo the projects.
