Reclamation Bureau and Army
Engineers Push CVA Substi
g übstitute
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent,
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—A “Weaver-Newell””
plan is now being put forward as a substitute for
President Truman’s Columbia Valley Authority
plan. Just as the “Pick-Sloan” plan was thought
up to block development of Missouri Valley Au
thority planning, the Weaver-Newell plan ‘is ex
pected to check Democratic administration plan
ning for a CVA.
Both plans represent agreements between the
Army Corps of Engineers and Department of In
terior’'s Bureau of Reclamation to divide the big
dar.-building job in those two big river valleys.
They are also fights for power. Neither of these
old line agencies wants to lose anything to a pro
posed interstate, regional development agency
like TVA—the Tennessee Valley Authority plan.
The Weaver-Newell deal, first announced by
the secretaries of the Army and Interior, divides
up responsibilities for some 60 projcets in the
Columbia Valley. Only two have been completed.
Bureau of Reclamation has seven more under con
struction, four more authorized but not appro
priated for, and 13 recommended. Army Engineers
have four under construction, eight authorized, 22
recommended.
AUTHORITY GRANTED IN 1943
Authority for this planning goes back to 1943,
when the Senate Commerce Committee asked
Army Engineers to revise their plans for develop
rent of water resources in this area. Then last
June and September, the President asked both
Army Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation to
review and co-ordinate their plans, following the
disastrous Columbia River {floods of 1948. The
President asked that the reports be sent to the
White House.
On April 19, Army Engineers and Bureau of
Reclamation announced their agreement to split
up the work they had planned. Two days later
General Pick, as chief of Engineers, sent this pro
posed plan to the governors of the western states
and to other federal agencies having an interest in
this area. - .
Reports from the states are all in and are all
favorable to the Weaver-Newell plan, with some
reservations on giving irrigation projects = second
consideration in Montana and Idaho. The situation
with respect to Department of Agriculture’s Soil
Conservation Service and Forest Service, Inter
ior's Electric Power, Grazing, National Parks, In
dian, Fish and Wildlife Services and the Federal
Power Commission and Bonneville Power Author
ity are considerably different. All these agencies
have major interests in the northwest.
Under normal government procedure, all these
agencies are required to make reports on Engineer
and Reclamation proposals. A final revised report
must then be cleared by Bureau of the Budget.
After that General Pick would be authorized to
forward the report to the Secretary of the Army,
who would send it to Congress.
In the great desire to speed approval on the
Weaver-Newell plan, ahead of the CVA, this rou
tine has been completely shortcircuited. The Con
gress — through Chairman Williamy M. Whitting
ton's House Public Works Committee—asked the
chief of Engineers to submit his as-yet unap
proved plan. Colonel Weaver made thig presen
tation in one-day hearings on May 20. R. J. New
ell made the presentation for Bureau of Reclama
tion. The CVA plan wasn’'t even mentioned.
Bureau of Reclamation’s tie-up with Corps of
Engineers on this Weaver-Newell plan has put
Interior Secretary J. A. Krug in a somewhat pe
culiar position. Krug has come out in full support
for the Truman CVA plan. Assistant Secretary of
Interior C. Girard Davidson has the job of pre
senting Interior’s case for a CVA. In giving his
approval of the Weaver-Newell plan as submit
ted to him by Reclamation Commissioner Michael
W. Straus, Secretary Krug had to Say, *. . . your
report is not to be construed as implying that it is
a satisfactory substitute for a Columbia Valley
Administration.”
Army and Engineer and Bureau of Reclamation
spokesmen say that their Weaver-Newell plan
will fit right into a CVA, if and whenever one is
created by Congress.
CVA backers argue that this is nonsense., They
say the Weaver-Newell plan makes provision for
nothing except Engineer and Reclamation pro
jects. They say it does not provide for sufficient
management of Columbia waters to provide power,
irrigation, {lood control, fisheries, anti-stream pol
lution and navigation all at ofice. In calling it just
ancther Pick-Sloan stop-gap compromise, they
point to reports from President Hoover’s Commis=-
sion on Government Reorganization for proof of
~its inefficiency, duplication and wastefulness,
" Guarding Bomb Secret j
The United States government is the custodian
of the biggest secret in the world. In fact, the
safety of the whole world depends on our gov
ernment keeping that secret.
While it may be true that other nations may
learn how to manufacture atomic bombs, it does
not seem to appear that this secret will be found
out at an early date.
Hence there is much agitation concerning either
the loss or the theft of something like an ounce of
Uranium 235, that could be used in the manufac
ture of this destructive bomb. And that has cut
loose a wholesale attack on David Lilienthal,
chairman of the Atomic Bomb Committee,
We are in no sense an atomic bomb specialist or
expert., Hence we are hardly in position to com
ment to any great extent on one side or the other
of the comment for or against Chairman Lilien
thal. One thing, however, is very patent and thu&}
is that there is a good deal of politics mixed up in
the whole affair, which is to be regretted. KEver
since the Tennessee Valley Authority came into
existence, Lilienthal has been the center of the
discussion. To one who does not profess to be an
expert on this question, it seems that Mr. Lilien
thal made a pretty good job of that undertaking.
And again eminent scientists on that side of the
dispute seem to agree that this stolen or lost ura
nium could not be used in manufacture of an “A”
bomb, that it is simply a was.e product of mate
rial that has been used and experimented with
and that it is valueless even in the hands of an
enemy. ?
It is undoubtedly true that the facts should be
made public as long as that would be sensible
from the standpoint of security. But critics should
be careful not to insist on everything connected
with atomic research. There are a number of
things that should be kept secret on this subject.
Our’ government cannot afford to be too generous
in its dis.tribution of facts on this secret.

Memorial To J. A. Sharp
The dedication of the new one hunured and
fifly thousand dollar Methodist Church at Young
Harris in tribute to the memory of that great edu
cator, James A. Sharp, was a fitting recognition
of the life and labors of a truly great Georgian.
The field of labor in which that eminent and
faithful Georgian labored the greater part of his
life was in the North Georgia mountains, among
a people who ilas missed a great many of the real
oppertunities of life, and the results of his labors
can scarcely be estimated.
Young Harris College has been developed into
one of the best educational institutions in the
state. It has served thousands of young people
who otherwise would have had little chance to
develop their lives. The inspiration was that of
James A. Sharp. There are few men who have left
a deeper in'press on the people thus served. It has
been a shining light in a section where a great
opportunity for service presented itself and where
a great leader was on hand to lay the foundations
and see that the project was well on its way to
completion before death called him away from his
labors.
In an important way Athens has reason to feel
proud of Young Harrig College. It bears the name
of Young L. G. Harris, an Athenian whose money
and vision and liberal support started it on its way
to invaluable service.
Undess future generations are to face a declin
ing standard of living, ew must rely more heavily
om our inexhaustible supplies, stop the waste of
irreplaceable materials and find and develop ad
ditional resources as fast as possible.—Secretary
of the Interior Julius A. Krug.
We need American aid. Let there be no mistake
about that. Nor are we ashamed of accepting it.
Without it we should have had to impose such se
vere cuts, both in the rehabilitation and modern
ization of our industry and in personal consump
tion, that the whole economic and social structure
in Europe would have been in grave danger.—Sir
Hartley Shawecross, attorney general of England.
Things do not get better by being left alone.
Unless they are adjusted, they explode with a
shattering detonation—Winston Churchill.
Western Germany, with the majority of the
German population, is saved. I do not believe they
will ever go Communist now.—Ernest Bevin, in
the House of Commons.
This is to be far more than an old-fashioned
military alliance. This is not a treaty to make war.
It is intended by us . .. as the best possible insur
ance at the present time against war in view of
the inability of the United Nations to give us that
insurance‘—Primeo Minister Louis St. Laurent ol
Canada, on the North Atlantic Pact.
It is absolutely essential that we strengthen the
democratic trade - union elémetns abroad to help
them fight the totalitarianism and contribute to
the “rapid economic recovery of their respective
aations.—Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
Vary With Location Of Attack
BY EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. |
: Written for NEA Service |
Twenty or 30 years ago multiple
sclerosis was considered to be a
rather disease in the United States.
Today, while still an unusual con
dition, there are many reasons for
believeing that it is much more
common than was formerly the
case. }

? R : e ; CES O
Multiple sclerosis affects the
nervous system. It usually pro
gresses slowly with periods of
great improvement, Any one or
several different parts of the nerv
ous system may be attacked, giv
)ing the disease the “multiple” part
‘ot its name. Because the location
varies from patient to patient,
|there are no absolutely typical
[symptoms. Symptoms which are
}present depend on what portions
|of the nervous system have been
lattacked. ;
A trembling motion when try
ing to pick up some object, a dis
|turbance in walking, and seeing
| double, often for only a short time,
iare perhaps the most common
| symptoms. These may be absent
| entirely or only one or two of
| them may be found.
| CAUSE UNCERTAIN
There have been many theories
‘concerning the case of multiple
sclerosis. Although a good deal of |
research work has already been
done on the disease, it has not yet
been possible’ to find the cause
with any degree of certainty.
In the effeort to speed the solu
tion of this problem, a group of
interested citizens and physicians
have organized the National Mul
tiple Sclerosis Association, 270
Park Avenue, Suite 7G, New
York, 17, N. Y. This organization
already has held conferences and
has contributed to the support of
several promising researcn pro
jects.
As long as so little is known of
the disease, the treatment will re
main unsatisfactory. At present
complete bed rest is generally con
sidered wise during any acute
stages of the disease. Protection
from infections and sometimes
residence in a warm easy climate
seem to increase the number of
| good periods and help to prevent
