Juniper Scout Council

Project 10, the plan for Girl I will operate in the new council
scout council consolidation, was U the Jefferson County area, now
apiirovcu iui a unanimous voie un(jer Juniper Council jurisdic-
at the Juniper Council Cirl Scouts
annual meeting last Friday at the
Peace Memorial Presbyterian
Church.
The plan calls for the consolida
tion of the five major councils
nod one unorganized area into
one council, with professional
headquarters to he located in
Eugene. In operation. Project 10
would decrease administrative
work and provide professional
staff people to conduct leader
training, program, and publicity.
-All camps now maintained by
the separate councils would also
be open to all girls within the
boundaries of the new enlarged
council. This would give Klam-
ath Basin Girl Scouts the opportu
nity for summer camping on the
ocean as well as the mountain
camping now available.
The five major councils in
volved in the consolidation are
Juniper Council (Modoc, Klam
ath, Deschutes, and Crook coun
ties); Lake County Council;
Rogue Valley Council (Medford
and Ashland area); Western Wa
ters Council (North Bend and
Coos Bay area); and the Three
Bivers Council (Eugene area).
To go Into effect, the plan must
be approved by three of the five
active councils.

If Project 10 is accepted, Klam
ath Falls will maintain a scrv
ice center with resource materi
als. The professional staif will
come to this area to conduct
training, prugrams and provide
resources to the Community As
sociation, which will function like
the present board.
At Die annual meeting, presid
ed over by Mrs. Adrienne Nor
ris, Juniper Council president, the
Project 10 plans were explained
by Mrs. Wilson Mulheim, a re
gional committee member from
Eugene.
The program was opened with
the flag ceremony led by Troop
118 of Altamont Junior High
School, followed by the invoca
tion by the host, Rev. Laing Sib
bet. A highlight of the meeting
was the presentation of year pins,
for service to the Girl Scouts, to
several council members.

Senate Okay Predicted
On Water Research BUI
- .'WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen.
Gordon Allott, It-Colo., waged an
apparently losing fight today to
cut a bill to authorize federal out
lays of up to S20 million a year
lor water resources research.
Senate backers were confident!
the bill would pass without sub'
stantial change. It would provide
assistance to public and private
groups to encourage research in
water conservation.
Tho Senate also was ready for
final action on legislation that
would help clear the way for sale
of surplus public power in the Pa
cific Northwest to areas as far
south as Los Angeles.
: Under a prior agreement, de
bate on all amendments to the
water resources bill was limited
to one hour each, with one hour
for general debate before final action.
;Th e administration-endorsed!
nieasure would authorize outlays
ol up to $100,000 per state each
year to set up research centers
at land-grant colleges.
It also calls for up to $5 mil
lm a year in federal matching
grants to states to conduct re
search projects, and an addition
al maximum of $10 million a year
to the Interior Department fori
grants or loans to public or pri
vate water research organizations.
' Allott proposed that the total
outlay be limited to $11 million
year, and the program be re

Entry Seen
Tough Job
By OSWALD JACOBY
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Probably the toughest hand
the intercollegiates is one in which
North and South must stop below
game in spades and then play
the hand to make nine tricks. The
bidding will not be difficult if
East and West stay out of the
bidding, but West is going to open
the bidding and while East is sup-
posed to respond one heart, there
is some chance that he might bid,
one spade in which case he can
steal the suit from North and
South.
Playing at three spades South
watches West cash the ace and
king of diamonds and con
tinue with the jack. Snuth's correct,
play is to discard a heart from
dummy.
This ensures South an entry to
dummy for a trump finesse. As
suming that West shifts to a heart!
South will take his ace and king
and ruff a heart low. Then he
should lead dummy's queen of
spades. If East .covers South's
worries are over. If East plays
low, South must drop his nine of
spades in order to lead the eight
irom dummy and leave the lead
there for a third spade play if
East still refuses to cover
If he has bid correctly and
makes all these plays South will
have acquired a well deserved
par.

NEW YORK 1 NE A I - The,

laws and regulations governing

bluntly the public pays "billions

because the "hodgepodge" of

RATE CUT RULED OUT Ben Heineman, cha irman of
the Ch icago and Northwestern, sought to cut a rate on
iron and steel goods freight but was ruled out by the
ICC on the grounds it would transfer business from
other competitive methods of transportation.
for months or years. The ICC
may turn down the cut. Even
if the rates are finally okayed
it may be too late; competitors
may have won the business.
James Easter, president of the
small Baltimore ind Annapolis
line, tells me the story of one of
his good customers, a firm that
takes sizable shipments of con
crete blocks. One day a truck
ing firm offered to do . the iobi
a little cheaper than the B and
A. Easter figured his expenses,
ueciaca ne could meet the com-,
petition. He filed with the ICC
for lower rates, asked his cus
tomer to hold off "for 30 davs"
until the new rates took effect.
The customer agreed. Months
have gone by. Easter doesn't
know how long the man will wait.
Easter thinks there are other
rates he might profitably change
to win back business his line has
lost to the trucks in recent years.
But he isn't sure the ICC fight
wouiu ne worm it.
snori wnne ago, I was in
the Chicago office of a vounc.
hard-driving railroad executive,
Ben Heineman, chairman of the
Chicago and North Western. In
a few shor years he has pushed
nis road up Irom near bankrupt
cy into a sound position.
But Heineman has problems.
Private truckers had cut heavily
into his Tail freight business. For
example, he says these private
truckers ship iron and steel
goods from the Midwest to Cali
fornia and bring back vegeta
bles for cut rates, barely more
than the cost of the gasoline to
run the trucks.
Heineman figured his costs, de
cided he could cut his rates on
iron and steel goods and win
back a big piece of the business.
Winning this outbound business
would also gain him back a hunk
of the return-haul agricultural
trade, too. If the trucks didn't
have the profitable haul out, they
couldn't cut rates for the trip
back.
But the ICC said no. The com
mission didn't question that he
did figure a cut in the Chicago
and North Western's rates would
'upset the balance," give ship
pers from cities on the North
Western routes an advantage over
iron and steel goods shippers on
other rail or truck routes which
charged higher comparative rates.
Caught in this "hodgepodge,"
Heineman complained:
"I would like to ask . . . what
incentives there are to a railroad
management for the exercise of
ingenuity and resourcefulness in
the development of new cars or
new techniques, if, when they
seek to pass the benefits through
lower rates on to the public, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
denies them the right on the
grounds this will transfer business
from another mode' of competi
tion?
"I had thought that what com
petition was aimed to do was to
transfer business, lawfully, prop
erly and reasonably. I had
thought non - discriminatory coin
petition was designed to transfer
business from other modes of
transportation or, indeed, from
lother railroads."
I went to see ICC men. They
said lowering all rates the rail
roads want to lower would hurt
the trucking and barge lines.
"We have to preserve the trans
portation system balance," one
commissioner told me. But an
other commissioner says that un
der these regulations the com
mon carriers railroads, trucks
and barges "have, lost 60 to 70
per cent of the intercity traffic
to private, exempt or illegal car
riers." So they're all hurt.
The new transportation bills the
Kennedy administration has
proposed to Congress would cut
some of these regulations. They
would permit railroads, trucks
and barge lines to cut rates on
about 90 per cent of what they!
carry without ICC interference.
The ICC would retain its power!
to control price increases on-all!
railroad rates, on a third of truck
cargoes and on 10 per cent of
barge cargoes. j
There is, however, in Congress1
a strong feeling against partially
