whose desperate need of blood
arew nationwide response, ts
dead.
Julia, who was three years old,
died Wednesday, 23 days after
suffering burns on more than half
her body. Doctors had just begun
an emergency transfusion of rare
B-negative type blood. The child
had fallen into several comas
overnight and her heart had
stopped three times.
Julia, daughter of Marine Staff
Sgt. and Mrs. Gilbert Howe of the
Lake Mead Marine Base, set her
nightgown afire Jan. 3 while play
ing with a cigarette lighter.
Doctors felt she would have a
better chance if she got blood
from persons who also had been
seriously burned. Despite the lim
ited number of potential donors,
offers came from all over the
country after her case was publicized.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP)-
The once hotly debated proposal
for a Columbia Valley Authority
was called a "dead issue" Thurs
day by Charles. F. Luce, newly
appointed Bonneville power ad
ministrator.
"Under a strong president such
as we have in President Kennedy
existing agencies can get the job
done," Luce said on his return
from Washington where his ap
pointment was announced Tues
day. .
The 43,year-oId Walla Walla at
torney also said he plans two ma
jor changes in Bonneville Power!
Administration policy when he
takes office in Portland Feb. 15.
They are:
1. To obtain electric power from
a dual-purpose nuclear reactor at
the Hanford Atomic Works for
the BPA power pool.
2. To put the BPA "in the van
guard" in seeking to attract new
industries to the Pacific North
west. ,,
The Columbia Valley Authority
idea, on which Luce turned his
back, had strong Democratic and
public power support about a dec
ade ago but has not been pressed
in recent years. It would have
created an over-all agency to de
velop power resources of the Co
lumbia. River system.
Luce also said "it is undisput
ed" that the federal government!
should have the primary respon
sibility for multi-purpose projects
in which such features as flood
control, navigation and recrea
tion are non-reimbursable.
Referring to use of power from
Hanford, he said:
'I feel that it is important for
America to move out in front and
widen its lead in resources de
velopment, and especially in the
development of peacetime atom
ic power.
It is my hope that the BPA
will give all possible support to
plans for installation of such an
atomic power plant (at Hanford)."
A $145 million dual-purpose re
actor, to produce both power and
plutonium, was authorized by the
last Congress for Hanford. Con
struction is now under way, and
when completed the reactor is ex
pected to produce 700,000 kilowatts
of power.
It is this power, one-third of
the capacity of Grand Coulee
Dam, : which Luce hopes will be
made available to the BPA.
He said atomic power and ad
ditional energy which will be
available under a Columbia Ba
sin development treaty with Can
ada will provide large blocks of;
low-cost power to attract indus
try.
'In the past we have stood idly
by waiting for industry to come,
and then have developed the
needed power. I want to develop
the power first in the faith that
if we have it we'll get the industry."
Luce said that both public and
private power agencies in the
area should work to the fullest
extent in developing its power resources.
The new administrator, a prom
inent southeast Washington Dem
ocrat, will replace William Pearl
67, who was named to the post
under the Eisenhower adminis
tration.

New Seaport
GOLD BEACH (AP) - A sea
going tug Is to tow two barges
loaded with lumber out of the
Rogue River Thursday, thus pro
viding Oregon with a new seaport.
The barges have been loaded
with three million board feet of
lumber for California. ,
The Corps of Engineers recent
ly completed construction of two
3,330-foot-long jetties at the mouth
of the river at a cost of $2,750,000.
The engineers plan to dredge a

ties next summer. But the tug
boat company said it can begin
operating now at high tide.

Industry Asked
Rate Opinions
WASHINGTON (AP) - The In

was asked by seven southern lum
ber organizations Wednesday to
investigate railroad rates for
shipment of lumber to eastern
markets.
They said that the present
rates favor western lumber.
They contend that rates for
southeast and southwest lumber
for eastern markets have in
creased 105 per cent since 1946.
In the same period, they said
rates for western lumber have
increased only 79 per cent.

Grain Loan Deadline Set
LAKEV1EW Lake County grain
farmers have until Jan. 31 to
make application for grain loans,
states Walt Corey, Lake County
Agriculture Stabilization and Con
servation office manager.
Through the loan program,
farmers may store their grain
during a slump to wait for better
prices, yet have some cash for
paying operating expenses.
Locally, most of the grain
placed under loan is sold through
regular market channels by the
farmer who pays otf his grain
loan with interest after waiting
for market prices to recover fol
lowing the harvest.
Briefly, the program works like
this:
A 'farmer makes application for
a loan on his grain crop through
the ASC office. The government1
loans him up to the support price
on each bushel of grain. That
amounted to $1.81 per bushel in
Lake County last year.
The farmer has untd March 31
of the following year to decide
whether to redeem his loan or
turn the grain over to the govern
ment.
Usually, price recovery is such
that the loan is redeemed and
the grain sold through regular
channels. The farmer then pays
interest on the loan for the pe
riod he has used the money, in
addition to storage costs while
the grain was under loan.
Farmers have one other alter
native under the support program.
This is known as a purchase
agreement. Under this program,
the government, signs an agree
ment with the farmer to buy the
grain at support price at the end
of the storage period if the farm
er was not able to sell for a bet
ter price. No loan is involved
in that case.
In recent years, the majority of
Lake County farmers using the
grain support program have re
deemed their loans and paid in
terest on the money, Corey con
cluded.
