The lexicon ol the bureaucratlo economist haa no auch word aa "liabilities," only "bene, llts." And. when writing about "benellta" the line an ol "baffle gab" riaea to Its highest peak of pertectlon. In the Trinity River report, "bon. elila" are dealt with at length lor upon these "benefits" rest the Ju miration ol the project. In tho re port we learn Uml there aro muny kinds of "benefits" take power aa an example, the report slates "Power benefits to the Nation tall Into two clasaea; tangible benefits, which can be expressed In mone tary ternia, and Intangible benefits, which cannot be so expressed. Tan gible benefits result from Trmtly River Division power sales to cus tomers In a competitive market along with additional benefits de rived from resale and use of this power." These "benefits" are divided Into two groupa, the first of wnich Uie Bureau economist-! call "Extended Benefits," these "benellta" are de scribed aa "representing a propor tionate ahare of the retailing utili ty's bcnrilia Irom the resale ol pro ject power to ultimate cunlomera at retail distribution raeta." The second kind of "benefit" Is called the "Utlllutlon nrnelll" which la described aa "representing a proportionate ahare nt the In creased value of goods and ser vices resulting from final utiliza tion ol project power." Then the report goea on to state: "Competitive market value ol pro ject power la determined by evalu ating the cost nrceasnry to produce power at the cheapest alternative justifiable source." I should have underscored this statement In the light of what actually came later. This "competitive market value" la atated to be "composed of two elements." The first element Is called "The Direct Benefit. " This "benelll" la alatcd to be "repre aenllng the revenue paid to the Bureau." Tho aecond element Is called the "Havings Benefit" which la considered to be "savings to cus tomers In buying from tho Bureau Instead ol Irom othera." Then the report contlnuea "The savings benelit along with the ex tended benellt and the utilisation benelit Is classified aa an Indirect benellt." With this Introduction Into "bene fits" I hope that you have been properly Impressed with the fact that hern aro only "benefits" in Ihls project and no 1 1 a b 1 1 1 1 1 e s. "What?" I hear somo one rx llalml "I llnd one "negative bene llt." Yes 17.300 a year, an an nual "negative benellt" caused by flooding agricultural landa In the Trinity Reservoir site a "bene fit" none the lesa even though It Is 'benellt" in reverse. I wonder II thla "negative benellt" la the sum ol money that was proposed to com prnsalo Trinity County lor lost tax revenue to be paid out ol project lunds? Everything "benellta" by his construction la the statement of the Bureau, even Hah and wildllle. The Fish and Wildlife Bervlr did a most Interesting Job ol Ilndlng "benelils" In the Trinity Dlveralon project. Even Uiough alxty per cent of Uie Ilsh lost forty per cent ol their spawning ground the Pish and Wildllle Bervk-o found no llablllllea but came up with benellta to the extent ol iUMOO. At the Weaver villa meeting on the Trinity Dlver alon. California sportsmen appear ed to lake a dim view of the report of the Pish and Wildlife Servlco Yeara ago I listened to one old professor lecture on the proper way to get your point across Is to be redundant In the use of the sped Ua words that sell Uie point you are attempting to n.ake. I expect that pcrhapa these boys must be ex student 'of his from Ihe elfuslvr use of the word "benefit" aa It ap pears In the Buresu's report of justification ol the project. The Bureau la working hard to sell 11a services to the people and especially now In California strict Uiere la rising criticism on Uie part of many Influential leaders who ure looking critically at the cost. The Htate of California la aerlously con sidering having tho Central Valley Project transferred Irom the Bur eau In Ihe State, 11 auch a program should go Into effect It' would aerl ously ellect the Bureau ol Rec lamations stall for they would be out in the cold and it will not be easy to Imd places lor much ol the specialized personnel. The Bureau must llnd a new pro ject that would Justify Us staff and overhead remnuung on In the Oold en state. Tlie diversion of the Trin ity appears to offer one opportunity to keep Uie Bureau In business Uiere. By DAN K, f'l.AHK - Today's question: What Official Positions In Oregon Were Offered To Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln waa a member of Uie lower house ol Congress Irom Illinois Irom 1M7 to 1B40. When the Whig party won the presidential election ol 1MB Lincoln apparently hoped that he might receive an ap pointment Irom Zachary Taylcr, the Whig president. Tlie position which Lincoln desired waa that ol commissioner of the general land offlco, bul he was disappointed In his hopea. for the appointment went to another man. During the summer of 10-19 Lincoln a Irlends tried to In terest him In the position ol secre tary ol Uie Territory o Oregon, but he declined to be considered. He auggested the name ol his friend. Simeon Krsncls, lor Uie position, bul noUiIng came of It. Later Fran cla, who was a newspaper editor In Hprlnglleld, Illinois, came to Ore gon and lor about a year waa the first editor of the Morning Oregon Ian. Later In the same year, 1849, Lincoln's Irlends promoted a move ment to secure the governorship of the ' Territory of Oregon for him. Evidently President Taylor was resdy to mske this appointment. It Is said that It waa auggealed to Lincoln that Oregon would soon be come a state and he might be elect ed to the United Statea Senate. Again, however, he declined, and the atrongeat reason for his decli nation seems to have been Mrs. Lincoln's unwllllngneaa to move out to the far west. It la Interesting to note that Edward D. Baker, one ol Llncoln'a close Irlends, csme to Oregon In 1860 and waa elected United Btatea Senator. Alter Lincoln's relussl the gov ernorship of Oregon Territory went to John P. Oalnes. He made the long trip to Oregon by sea, taking nearly nine months, and did not arrive In Oregon until August, IBM. He waa plunged Into controversies almost from the beginning. He wrui a Whig In a territory of which Uie legislature was overwhelmingly dominated by Democrats. To make matters worse he was somewhat pompous and aristocratic, and thus hla every act aroused reaentmen'. and bitter attacks on his character and abilities. Whether Lincoln, being also a Whig, would have fared better la a aubject for speculation. IT Is cer tain that his own career would have been quite different If he had ac cepted the governorship. It Is also probable. If not certain, that the history ot the United Ststes would have been very different II he had transferred his Interests to the Pa cific Coaat.

Next fall'a school terms begin too late. Once a veteran has decided to train under Uie Korean Ol hill, he must choose the school and course he wants.

His next step Is to file an ap plication tor Korean Ol bill train ing with the VA, or with the ap proved school in which he wishes to enroll.

Recently I made an invest ment that netted me several hun dred dollars. Could I use this mon ey to psy olf part of my GI housing loan? If so, will my lender charge me penalty lor doing so?

Wing Tips Here we are again, bringing you some of the highlights of the CAP. We'd like to explain about our II, nanclng and bring you the high lights of our own squadron acllvl-Ilea. CAP Is almost entirely self-sup porting. CAP and CAPC buy their own uniforms and earn and raise their own money for aqusdron ac tivities. Tho CAP gets only a drib ble ol money Irom Washington. The Air Force supplies a twin-engine Beechcralt lor each liaison olllce and lends several hundred obsoles cent planes to the CAP for orien tation flights, etc. On A F. ordered missions such aa air search and rescue, members are reimbursed fuel and lubricant used. A regular Air Force officer with tlnv stall sits in each of the CAP'S 92 wings. The 92 wings In clude the 48 states of the union. Hawaii, Puerto Rico. Alaska, and the District of Columbia. Tuesday, April 6, Col. Jorde.is, Oregon Wing Commander, Capt. Ramsdslc, USAF, liaison olllcer lor the state of Oregon, and others of the wing staff came down from Portland to help with the organi zation of Uie senior CAP squadron. We were very sorry that we could not meet them. At our last regular meeting, drill was held, emphasizing basic turns or faces that would be used at the aummcr encampment. Alter LI. Peery read a letter Irom wing headquarters explaining about aummcr camp, a class in morse code was held, followed by a mov ie, "Wings Over France." It was announced that the girls, with the boys help would hold a rummage I sale May 7 and 8. at 525', South Sixth street to help pay their way to camp in June. Rummage may be taken to the meetings or will be picked up by calling 3-0849 or 8700, alter school, or on Saturdays We welcomed two girla who were visiting our meeting. We had 15 boys, eight girls, and five adult members In attendance at our meeting which Is held on Monday evenings, starting at 8:49, at Alta mont Junior High. We were very glad to have Mrs. Shirley Winter ringer, who Is going to help us, with us at our meeting. Civil Defense Advice Given LOS ANQKLES !.4s The admin istrator of Uie nation's delense transportation administration pro poses: If there's an atomic attack, walk live miles an hour out of the main danger area. James K. Knudson, who Is also A member of Uie Interstate Com merce Commission, told a civic organisation yesterday: "Ablo bodied men, women and children can, If necessary, walk about five miles an hour. Assum ing a two-hour warning, this would get mast people out of the center ot large cities and Into environs. "Here, if evacuation were car ried out In military precision and with available transportation sys tems being used, large numbers could be taken to salcty limits." WASHINGTON With the na- Uon observing him through the narrow eye of TV camera, Ben. Mundt, the chubby Republican Irom South Dakota, aald almost genially: "Everybody la on the apot." No matter who else Is lying In Ihe row between Ben. McCarthy and Pentagon officials, Mundt waa stating a fact aa he opened the Senate's extraordinary Inquiry Into to dispute yesterday. There's been nothng Ilk this case in which tha whole country, deeply divided on the aubject ol McCarthy, la watching lor evi dence of truth or confirmation of a prejudice. While the careers of the Army olllclals or McCarthy may be wrecked before this Is over, the seven aenatora conducting the In quiry can suffer damage, either to their reputations or later at the polis. With partisanship In the case atrong aa It la, fairness of the senators making the Investigation la expected If the public I to form an Impartial Judgment, Mundt, acting as chairman, showed hla vivid awareness mat all of them had a stake in the case by saying: "It is our joint de termination to conduct these hear ings with a maximum degree of dignity, fairness, and thoroughness." It this sounded self-conscious, it was understandable: other mem bers of Congress and newspapera weeks ago expressed doubt that this committee should handle the investigation of Its own regular chairman, McCarthy. But at least Mundl's assurance of fairness was extraordinary In itself. It is a rare day in Congress when an investigating committee feels It necessary to pledge Im partiality beforehand. But this Investigation is extra ordinary for more reasons than uiat. Besides being the most widely televised congressional Inquiry Is history. It haa a suspense un matched by major investigations ol recent yeara. No one can predict the outcome. McCarthy may emerge stronger than ever, or he may come out ol this ruined politically. He never before faced such a test for his political life. He la In a dramatic role here: as one man who forced a snow- down with the Army. His following may Increase enormously, or dwin dle away. The Army officials may emerge with their reputations Intact even strengthened. Or they may turn out to be pretty shoddy. Most of the nation outside Wash ington has had to form its Judg ments about McCarthy, for or against him, in a few speeches here and there, a few TV appear ances when he had a prepared statement and therefore every thing In his favor, and in printed reports ol his doings and his statements. But now day after day on the TV screen the nation can look into his face and watch him operate and judge his fairness, his tactics and his veracity. There was great anticipation about the Senate hearing given Oen. Douglas Mac Arthur after for mer President Truman fired him as commander la the Far East. But there wasn't much suspense about It.
