By FRANK JENKINS
The Salem Statesman which
describes itself as having been
"very unnappy" over Senator Cor
don's position on other important
public Questions refuses to go
along with the Neuberger accusa
tion that Cordon has been respon
sible lor blocking further develop
ment 01 federal power in the Pa
cific Northwest.
It says:
"On the power question, the
Statesman believes that Senator
Cordon deserves a mator share of
credit for the federal (power) de
velopment that has come in the Pa
cific Northwest area during the
ten years of his service in con
gress."
In support of its opinion, the
Statesman quotes the senator's
statement In a recent statewide
radio address in which he said:
"When I went on the senate ap
propriation committee in 1946 we
in the Northwest) were getting 4.7
per cent of all (federal) funds for
dam construction THAT has In
creased year by year until this
year the percentage was 27.5 . . .
I have done my best in that field
for the Northwest and Oregon."
I've known Senator Cordon per
sonally and Intimately for more
than a quarter of a century, and
T irnAn, Vila nmrit ! trntiA Vm 1ft nn
peddler of reckless statements for
campaign purposes, wnen ne
speaks, he knows what he is talk
ing about.
But
It is unfortunately true that
when irresponsible statements are
being tossed around in political
campaigns EVERYBODY'S word
becomes suspect.
So let's examine the record.
Senator Cordon became a mem-
i -I V- ..nnla nnnrODriatlon
committee in 1946. Beginning with
1947, here is me cumulative
nt annrnnriRtionjI UD to HOW by the
house, the senate and by the house-
senate conference committees ur

MIC 11 IU1 -3 . - -
power dams McNary, Chief Jo
seph, Trie Danes, Aioem j-mio,
Lookout Point and Detroit:
House 1521,899,680

Conference Committees 628,834,800
To understand these figures, one
irai,il th ftVAtam. Un-
JUUOb l"i." ....... . .
der which appropriations are made
in our congress, ah money wu
wust originate in the house of rep
resentatives. From the house, they
go to the senate where they are re
used and amended, upward or
downward, according to the ideas
of the -senators especially the
members of the senate appropria-
ftmmit.lMi.
After the bills have been acted
upon by both Bouse ana senate
they go to the Joint house-senate
conference committee, composed of
H-mhArs nf hnth houses, where
the differences are ironed out and
a single final. out is agreea upon
Let's analyze these figures,
which include all the money ap
propriated for these Big federal
power dams in tne pacine norm-
west since Senator Cordon became
a member of the powerful senate
appropriation committee.
You will note that since 1946 the
HOUSE has appropriated a total
of $521,899,680 for federal power
dams in the Pacific Northwest. To
this total the SENATE has ADDED
(over these years) the alseable
sum of $177,780,820.
From the total senate appropria
tions the joint house-senate confer
ence committees over the years
since 1946 have cut out $10,855,700.
But
The FINAL total made available
for the construction of these fed
eral power dams by the Joint con
ference committees has been $106,
925.000 HIGHER than the total ap
propriations approved by the house
of representatives.
Anyone with any knowledge of
congressional procedures knows
that this record of consistent and
heavy financial support for federal
power dams in the Pacilic Norm-
west could not have been made
without the active support of Sena
tor Cordon of Oregon as a mem
ber of the powerful senate appro
priation committee.
I think the record fully Justifies
the Salem paper's statement that
"Senator Cordon deserves a MA
JOR share of credit for the fed
eral power development that has
come in the Facuic Nortnwest area
during the ten years of his service
in congress."
Why Is all this Important?
Here's why:
It's another instance on Neuber-
eer's part of being loose and lib
eral with .words and careless with
facts.

Barley Price
Support Asked
SALEM W Congressman Wal
ter Norblad (R-Ore) asked the
Commodity Credit Corp. Tuesday
to make Willamette Valley barley
and wheat eligible for price sup
ports. Norblad said the assistance is
needed badly because the wet sum
mer has damaged those crops.
The barley and wheat in this
region now is ineligible for price
supports because of its unusually
high moisture content.
Sen. Guy Cordon (R-Ore) made
a similar plea last week.
Portland Firm
To Dissolve
PORTLAND W Doernbecher
Manufacturing Co.. a 54-year-old
furniture plant with 400 employes,
is going to go out of business.
Stockholders, meeting here Mon
day, voted to dissolve the firm.
E. S. Beach, secretary-treasurer,
said supplies on hand would keep
the plant operating about four
months. Then it will quit.
He said the company would like
to sell the plant, a sawmill near
Oregon City, and timber-cutting
rights near Reedsport to a single
buyer. But if such a buyer cannot
be found, piece-meal sale will
start.
The firm was moved here in 1900
from Chehalis. By 1937 it employed
a force of 1.500 men and was one
of the country's largest furniture
manufacturers.
No reason was announced for
the dissolution plan but the firm's
net worth is four million dollars
and its half-year earnings to June
30 were only S9.060.
McKay Speaks
To GOP Rally
CODY. Wyo. dfl Republican
control of Congress Is "essential if
we are to continue to have honesty,
integrity and efficiency in govern
ment in place of the old chiseling,
grafting and extravagance," Sec
retary of the Interior McKay told a
GOP rally Monday night.
"If the Democrats were to gain
a majority in the 84th Congress
they would work overtime trying to
embarrass and hamstring the Ei
senhower administration," he de
clared.
McKay said the American peo
ple have two choices in the No
vember elections: "Whether they
want the far-sighted, constructive
Eisenhower program to go forward
to completion or whether they
want it to be sabotaged by a Con
gress hostile to the President."
"A Republican majority tn the
coming 84th Congress is essential
if we are to continue to hold high
the banner of strength and free
dom against a resurgence of the
forces which clamor to bury It
under a socialist empire of govern
ment ownership and control," Mc
Kav said.
This Republican control also Is
essential, he declared, for the ad
ministration to continue its tax
cutting program and to continue
"the gains we have made in the
fields of housing, social security,
unemployme.it compensation and
agriculture."

15 Chaplains
Parachute
To Safety
NEWHALL, Calif, (fl Praying
as they parachuted in shirtsleeves,
15 chaplains landed safely minutes
before their disabled Air Force
C46 plane crashed and burned yes
terday. The three crewmen also
balled out successfully,
"You can be sure there was
plenty of praying going on," said
the Rev. Lertis K. Kiieu oi Lawn-
dale, Calif., Church of Christ, who
is an Air Force reserve colonel.
"This was an occasion when.
doubly, we were practicing what
we preach: namely, prayer," said
the Rev. Neville E. Carlson of
Fillmore, Calif.
"The Lord was with us in many
ways, even to the fact that the
fire in one engine was on the right
side of the plane and the door
through which we Jumped was on
the left," said the Rev. Bertil Von
Norman of the West Hollywood
Presbyterian Church.
CONFERENCE
The group of Civil Air Patrol
chaplains from Southern California
left Burbank at 8:03 p.m. (PDT)
in the C46. bound for a regional
CAP chaplains' conference at Sac
ramento scheduled for last night
and today.
The plane crew included the
pilot. Capt. Thomas E. Willson.
North Highland, Calif.; Lt. Earl
W. Meredith Jr., Sacramento, and
Sgt. Lloyd Plew, Globe, Ariz., all
stationed at McClelland AFB,
Sacramento.
The chaplains and crew were
wearing back parachutes and had
been briefed before take-off but
none of the ministers had ever
Jumped before.
Minutes after the' departure.
smoke began trailing from the
C46. Vibration was felt In the ship,
then the right engine caught fire
ENGINE FALLS
As Lt. Meredith and Egt. Plew
carried the pilot's instructions to
the chaplains to bail out at about
3.000 feet, the right engine fell
awny. Mr. Von Nonmah, a CAP
major, was credited by his col
leagues with calm heroism as he
helped the chaplains adjust their
'chutes and shepherded them out
the door. He was the last chap
lain to bail out. The crew followed,
with Capt. Willson the last to jump
when the ship was probably no
more than 1.000 feet up just west
of the Los Angeles Police Rehabili
tation Farm for Alcoholics at
nearby Saugus.
The plane crashed and burned
on the farm, only 75 -feet from
where the nearest Inmates were
working.
A half dozen of the chaplains
suffered cuts or bruises, wrenched
legs or shoulders but none was
seriously hurt.
Two Killed In
Indo Violence
SAIGON, Indochina WP1 Demon
strations by refugees from North
Viet Nam erupted into violence
Tuesday that claimed two lives.
Gen. Mguyen Van Hinh, the Viet
namese chief of staff, charged
Premier Ngo Dinh Dlem's govern
ment with provoking the trouble.
Gen. Hinh, Involved in a bitter
dispute with the premier that
seemed sure to topple the govern
ment, charged that approximately
500 refugees who demonstrated in
favor of Diem and against the
Army had been armed by govern
ment forces with clubs and bottles.
Police sought to disperse the
demonstration. In addition to the
two killed, several more . were
wounded.
The refugees were brought here
from North Viet Nam after the
country's partition under the Ge
neva armistice. They are housed
in a camp in Saigon. Most are
Roman Cathoiics, as is the pre
mier. The dispute between Hinh and
the premier reached new heights
Monday night with the resignation
of nine ministers. Diem has not
accepted the resignations but it ap
peared that Diem's government
had little chance of surviving the
crisis.

Potato Men
Discuss '54
Wage Rates
TULELAKE Potato harvesting
wages were discussed at a grow
ers meeting held at the Sports
man's Hotel Monday night, but no
definite rates were established.
Growers attending the meeting,
called by Stan Buckingham, presi
dent of the Tulelake Growers As
sociation, decided to attend a Joint
meeting to be held at the rec
reation hall In Merrill, Thursday
night, September 33, and to rec
ommend that Klamath, Modoc and
Siskiyou counties establish the
same harvesting rates.
The following recommendations
will be made at the Merrill meet
ing:
Potato picking Six cents a stub
or $2.40 a ton.
Bucking and swamping 80
cents per ton.
Hauling 1.20 per ton.
. Contractor 40 cents per ton.
This would mean an overall cost
to the farmer, who hired a con
tractor to pick, load and haul
spuds to storage; of $4.80 per ton.
Merrill Webb, administrator for
the Oregon-California control com
mittee, gave a report on recent
meetings at Greeley, Colorado and
Chicago.
Webb told the gathering that the
recommendations made at the na
tional meetings was to try to es
tablish uniform grade and size
in all of the potato producing
areas, rather than each section of
the country establishing its own
standards.
He also stated that the late crop
in Maine had suffered some from
blight during the past growing
season and that some damage was
done in the Idaho Falls district
by a hailstorm in July. He rec
ommended marketing cautiously
but steadily so as not to have a
surplus of potatoes to move late
next spring.
Local growers .will also recom
mend a one and seven eighths
Inch number one potato, with the
same minimum size for twos.
Ken Baghott, Farm adviser, re
ported on leaf roll spraying dur
ing the past summer and stated
that good results had been ob
tained through the use of Systox.
He also advised growers whose
crops showed considerable leaf
roll to market soon after digging
or put the crop in cold storage.
Milton A. Foland, Pacific Na
tional Advertising Agency, Port
land, reported on research promo
tion work already done in Cali
fornia retail outlets. He reported
that probably 30 to 35 per cent
of potatoes delivered to large out
lets and chain stores are being
repackaged into smaller bags. Re
tall outlets are highly pleased that
the potato Industry will promote
an extensive advertising program,
Foland stated.

Mayor Signs
Street Pact
With State
Despite further dissension voiced
by Klamath Avenue representa
tives at city council Monday night,
the mayor and polico judge this
morning signed a contract with
the state high commission for a
cross-town traffic program i n
Klamath Falls.
The contract calls for one-way
traffic on parts of Sixth, Seventh
and Commercial, Not provided for
in the contract, but assured by
the state, is construction of an ad
ditional viaduct for south bound
traffic over the South Sixth Street
rauroad tracks, dependent upon
establishment of one-way traffic
on Sixth and Seventh.
A. H. (Red) Bussman, Klamath
Avenue businessman, voiced his
objections to city procedure. He
threatened filing of an injunction
against the city "unless, with the
same stroke of the pen the con
tract is signed, truck traffic or
Klamath Avenue is relieved."
In answer to Mayor Paul Lan
dry's plea for cooperation in ob
taining a new viaduct through es
tablishment of one-way traffic on
Sixth and Seventh, Bussman re
minded council that the viaduct
does not depend on not having one
way traffic on Main and Klamath
also. (At a meeting with city of
ficials in August, the state recom
mended one-way on Main and
Klamath to handle traffic proper
ly. This was eliminated In the
subsequent contract.)
for a favored few you saw a
loophole by which you could still
put trucks down Klamath and not
down Main," Bussman declared.
Al Hattan, chairman of the city
cross-town traffic committee, de
fended city's action and pointed
out tne importance of a new via
duct to business.
Council authorized signing of the
contract with approval of the third
and final reading of an ordinance
to mat euect. - -

gree murder In the death of his
wife last Feb. 16. continued In cir
cuit court here Tuesday.
Two detectives, witnesses for the
prosecution, testified Monday that

Bargaining
Seen Over
Rival Pacts
LONDON W Hard bargaining
shaped up Tuesday over rival
British and French plans lor re
arming West Germany.
Ministers conferred anew over
old problems of Western defense
that must be taken up again at
a nine-power conference in Lon
don Sept. 38.
And something of the conflict to
attend that horse trading session
In which French Premiere Pierre
Mendes-France is to call for Brit
ish commitments that Britain has
refused In the past was pictured
in the editorial comment of
Europe's newspapers, left, right
and center.
Prime Minister Churchill's gov
ernment was warned by the inde
pendent, pro-Empire London Dally
Express not to "take the easy
way of smoothing down French
fears at Britain's expense."
COMMITMENTS
On the other side of the fence,
the Liberal News Chronicle de
clared "The British government
must recognize that the time to
make our utmost contribution has
arrived and that no contribution
can now be effective unless posi
tive commitments are made."
France's Western allies were
taking a long, cautious look at
the plan outlined by Mendes
France Monday In a speech be
fore the European consultative
assembly at Strasbourg,
As a substitute for the six-nation
unified army of the European De
fense Community treaty which hla
National Assembly killed Aug. 30,
he wants to tie West Germany in
a tight continental alliance with
Britain that would limit the fight
ing Torces of all member states
and control their arms production.
Under both Mendes - Prance's
proposals and the British plan put
forward previously by Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden, the basis
for rearming German troops
would be the Brussels treaty of
1048. That treaty was originally
drawn up by Britain, France, Bel-
glum, -The Netherlands and Lux
embourg for defense against any
new German aggression.
EDC PARTNERS
The idea now Is to admit both
West Germany and Italy-whloh
would get all the EDO partners
together again and revamp the
rules. Instead of the unified army
envisaged under the EDC, mem
bers of the pact would rush their
national armies to defense of any
other partner attacked.
The council of the Brussels
treaty met In London Tuesday to
consider technical problems In
volved in admitting West Germany
and Italy,
In Rome, Premier Mario Scel
ba's revised cabinet discussed the
nine-power conference "In Hie
light of the new Mendes-France
proposal." A communique an
nounced a report by Scelba on In
ternational developments was ap
proved by the cabinet and the gov
ernment's political line Is un
changed. U.S. Plywood

Ike Approves
Korean Aid
DENVER Ifl President Eisen
hower Tuesday approved a 100
million dollar lpcrease in military
and economic aid to South Korea
under a new program providing
for training of Jet pilots.
The President's action was an
nounced at the summer White
House by Harold E. Stassen, chief
of the Foreign Operations Admin
istration, after he had conferred
with the chief executive.
Stassen also told a news con
ference that Elsenhower has ap
proved a plan lor use of more
American-mined coal about 10
million tons in the foreign aid
program.
Stassen said the stepup In mili
tary and economic aid to South
Korea means the U, S. will pro
vide about 700 million dollars dur
ing the year which began July I,
instead of about 600 million.
The additional money, Stassen
said in reply to questions. Is be
ing transferred from other foreign
aid programs.
The purpose of Increasing aid to
South Korean, Stassen said. Is to
check inflationary pressures re
sulting from the war, and to make
lt possible for South Korea to
maintain a strong army of its own
in the light of withdrawal of Amer
ican divisions from that oouotry.
