Northwest History Highlights
When beaureaucracy gora out to
llnd Justification for a project It
can develop aome wonderful ex
amples ol "bafflegab" that arn vir
tual claaalca. 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

should go Into effect It' would aerl
ously ellect the Bureau ol Rec

out in the cold and it will not be
easy to Imd places lor much ol the

The Bureau must llnd a new pro
ject that would Justify Us staff and

to keep Uie Bureau In business

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.

you would like snswered, about

Poal-K ores veterans, relessed
Irom military aervlce before Aug
ust 10. 1052, had better atari mak
ing plana now (I they Intend to en
roll In Korean Ot bill training be
fore a last-approaching deadline.
Veterans Administration warns.
Under the law. these veterans ac
tually must begin training before
this coming August 30, in order to
continue afterwards,
ror many of the veterans, sum
mer terms In school getting un
der way In about two months
will be their last chance to alart
Korean Ol training In time. 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. He must make certain
that the course la OI-approved.
Any VA Regional Olllce can furnish
him Information on this point.
Then he must be sure that the
school will accept him for training.
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.
Since all these atepa take time,
veterans should act prompUy to
avoid disappointment.
VA reminded veterans that the
August 10 deadline applies to vcl
ersns plsnnlng to tske on-Uie-Job

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

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

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.
No matter what the investigating
senators thought, everyone knew
