WASHINGTON, March 29 it The White Home now has that lecond-floor porch which President Truman want lor a summertime re laxing spot. The new balcony is visible to pass ersby on the IhorouahJare bordering the spacious grounds south of the White House. Sight-seeing guides already have made "the Truman porch" a major point ol interest on tours of the capital city. You have to look rather sharply, however, to detect the balcony from that distance. From the motor road and sidewalks outside the White House grounds, the porch appears quite well - concealed within the massive south portico. Idea Blasted When President Truman ordered the balcony built, some architects, congressmen and others said it would detract from the simple, classic lines of the nations most famous residence. The project was disapproved by the commission of fine arts, advisory group on govern ment buildings. The balcony expenditure, original ly estimated at $15,000 and now figured at less than $10,000. did not require special congressional action. It came out of funds already al lowed for upkeep of the executive mansion. The porch, just outside the presi- Two Escape Injury In Grade Wreck Two persons narrowly escaped serious injury Sunday afternoon when their 1947 sedan went out of control on the south grade of Sun mountain, on highway 9". and piunged 75 feet over the grade. Fred Butler Ootter 28. a student at Oregon State college, and his passenger, Mary Margaret Kelly, about 26. of Portland, were north bound at the time of the accident. Getter told state police officers that he was traveling at about V) miles per hour, when he came un expectedly upon a sharp curve, and lori control of the machine. He hit the soft shoulder and plunged off the grade, overturning several times. The car came to rest right side up, after rolling about 73 feet. Gotter and his passenger were be th thrown clear. Gotter was uninjured, but Miss Kelly suffered back injuries and wai then taken to Klamath Valley hospital for x-rays and treatment. Her hurts were not believed serious. The accident occurred at about I p. m. Export Laws Tightened Up WASHINGTON. March 29 iP The house foreign affairs commit tee gave Its backing today to a for eign aid bill amendment to put extra controls on exports of stra tegic supplies to Russia. Rep. Mundt (R-S.D.l.' said the committee voted "overwhelmingly" to support his amendment to the $6,205,000,000 bill giving the foreign administrator the right to veto any exports to Russia and her satel lites when he considers It "in the national Interest." The committee acted shortly be fore the bill rolled Into the show down voting stage on the house floor. Although the administration It self has clamped down on ship ments of "war potentials" to Russia and other countries behind the iron curtain, Mundt and other congress men have Insisted that congress provide additional protection. His amendment still must be ac cepted by the house itself. Mundt said the vote on It may not take place until tomorrow. The bill would use economic aid plus American military science in an effort to stem communism in Europe and Asia. Little Ads get Big Results. Use The Herald and News Want-Ads!

It has a tile floor on con crete slabs and a simple iron railing painted white. It is high enough to get full bene fit of prevailing southerly breezes In Washington's sultry weather. The view is lovely across White House gardens and lawn to the trees of the large park and playground area streichmg to the Washington monu ment. Long View The president can slip out on a summer a lie moon to get a long distance view of a baseball game on a playground diamond or he can take a nap in shaded privacy. Is the Truman balcony a front, or a back, porch? It depends on what you think are the front and the back of the White House. Most W'ashingtonians now con sider the north side, fronting on Pennsylvania avenue, to be the front. The main entrances are on the north, and "back of the White House" is generally understood to mean south toward the Washing ton monument and the Potomac river. For many years, however, the im pressive south portico was regarded as the main side, and in that sense the south was the front of the ex ecutive mansion. James Hoban. the original architect, apparently con sidered the south as the front be cause he placed the kitchens and servants' quarters on the north side. Two years ago congress defeated an effort by President Truman to obtain an addition to the White House. It refused to provide funds for extension of the west wing to enlarge the executive offices. :arnival By Dick Turner 1W a ST Wl Mfnet WTM tip Q 4T Wl J-3P "Don't ask me what I do with my allowance.

March 29 "The Wilds of The Yukon." a picture filmed by Explorer James H. Bond out beyond the beaten track just "9 miles from the Arctic circle, will be shown in Tulelake on Tuesday, April 6. Boy Scouts of troop 44 are spon soring the picture which will be shown twice the same evening in the Marcha theatre through the courtesy of owner. Mrs. Bird Heitz. Proceeds from the show will go to finance the Boy Scouts summer camp this year. Scouts will sell the tickets and the Scout selling the largest number will get all his camp exje nses paid. Bond, a native of Oregon born in Douglas county, spent 57 days film ing the picture in a section of the cold north country which is taboo to the natives because of a century-old "curse." The picture was taken in the interests of wild life conserva tion. The explorer who is also a lecturer and photographer will be present at the Tulelake showing and invites ail sportsmen in the area to attend. He plans to spend some time here photographing wild life. deer, ducks and geese for another picture. The Yukon picture which has just been shown in Eugene by the Scouts was pronounced a huge success.

The nation has the engineering skill to solve the problem of diverting water from the Columbia river in Washington and Oregon to Cali fornia. William G. Wame, assistant secretary of the Interior, said today. The Idea Is simply 30 or 30 years In the future, he said, adding: "But It can be done. The next thing la to find out how to do it. The time Is at hand to begin serious planning." Ho said any cilwrslon should be from below Bonneville, Uie last point of use of the water. The proposal should nut be con fused, he said, with sliort-rauge ob jectives In the coastal states. warne was criucueu recently oy Rep. Poulson lU-Culit.r as proposing the diversion "for the sole purpose ol exciting animosity from the peo ple of the Northwest against the people of California." Taking note of Uie criticism, Wurne replied that Uie proposal "is not too enormous a concept nor is it loo fantastic." "The great Columbia ol the Paci fic Northwest." he continued, "an nually discharges to the ocean mure water than all the other western streams combined. Including the Sacramento, San Joaquin. Colorado, Rio Grande and Uie miscellaneous streams all Uie way from SouUicrn California to Northern Washington. "In tact, this great river dis charges on Uie average more than 160.000.000 acre-fect ol water to tho Pacific ocean after all present cou sumpuve uses are deducted. Ob viously ail of this water cannot oe used In the Columbia basin. It would, in fact. Irrigate 40.000.000 acres more than twice as much as Is now irrigated in the whole United Slates." California has so many advan tages. Warne said, that he is con vinced Uie suite eventually will use some of Uie water of the Columbia river. Inter-basin development al ready has started, he said, in Uie metropolitan water district . .'oject in Southern California. In the Colorado-Big Thompson project In Colo rado and In several projects III Utah and elsew here. "The drouth of recent months has brought home lo all the perilous position of Crl.iornla and Arlsoiu," he added. "Nevertheless, Uiere it still water to eomerve In California that presently is uncontrolled. And also half the water of and available to California controlled In niulll purKue reservoirs, there will still be need for additional water If con tinued growth Is assured.' The point has been reached where wo can dim ly see Uie lowering of the celling on growth in the west. I retieat. all of Uie w-ater resources of and nuw available to California must be sal vaged. Even when that Is done, however. It now seems evident that growth Is likely to outrun the water supply In 20 years or so." Two Youths Die In Auto Wreck RKKDVIM.K.
