.Umatilla Dam
Soon .
Official Says
Only slight alteration
is expected for. Umatil-
la Dam as result of
new regulations

The Umatilla rapids dam on the
Columbia river will be needed by
1916 to meet increasing demand for
electricity, U. j. Gendron,. assistant
Bonneville power administrator,
said Friday in an A. p interview.
Eve have recommended COM
pletion of the Umatilla dam by
1915. We have to do our planning
on the basis this war may last
from five to 10 years, but prospect
i've of when the war terminates, the
Umatilla dam is a part of the gen.
eral program for the improvement
of navigation ON the Columbia river,
for irrigation and for power" he told
members of the UmatilIa REA coop
erative at their annual meeting.
Glendron also said. he believed
funds would be appropriated by
congress within a year for construc-
ton of power line from Pasco
to Umatilla. -
All Navigation Plans Included
A billion dollar flood control and
navigation program probably Will
be altered only slightly, if at all, by
a new emergency order fOrblddlng
the start of public and private con-
struction requiring materials need
ed for defense. E@ 49,.
The order, effective for the dura-
ton of the emergency, was issued
by the supply priorities and alloca-
tions board acting under its broad
authority to deny materials for
works considered unessential.
The sweeping prohibition was
certain to subject every. navigation
and flood control project to- criti-
cal analysis, but members of COM
gressional committees said this
years program was prepared with
the thought that such develop
ment might occur. p
Undertakings made subject ito

Wheat Acreage to
Be Reduced by
$4,000 Acres in AZ
Two years normal sup
ply of wheat now on
hand in this country

Benton county wheat growers can
do their part to strengthen agricul-
ture for the defense of America by
widespread compliance with their
1912 wheat acreage allotments, ac-
cording to Fred Wilson, chairman
of the Benton County defense board.
+ with enough wheat already on
hand to last two years, this country
cannot afford to waste time or soil
resources producing crops not need
ed" the defense board chairman
said. Instead, we should go about
in the production of the non-basic
commodities essential to the food
for-defense program"
1.-THE best service wheat growers
can render ITO themselves and their
country is to provide plenty but at
the same time keep the surplus in
hand so that wheat prices will not
collapse. Neither farmers nor the
country can afford a bankrupt wheat
industry, particularly at a time like
this" he added. 49,
.4s. Reduce Acreage
u Mr.. Wilson said the Benton coun-
ty wheat acreage allotment for 1912
is $4,000 acres less than the 1941
seeded acreage. Proportionate adj
justments are being made by wheat
growers over the entire country.
The AAA wheat acreage allot-
rnents constitute one of the produc-
ton goals set up for every agricul-
tural commodity under the recently
expanded Farm Defense program
These goals, Mr.. Wilson points out,
call for increases of some products
and decreases of others. The aim
is a 1912 farm production on a scale
that will provide what America
needs for improved nutrition and
also what what this country will
need to supply nations fighting for
freedom. &.--s-- ...,.

another think which should help
to cut down the ranks Of extras
the talented ones, at least-is
a cooperative little theater
they've started. Denied local
stage experience by union rules,
minor Hollywood players have
had a hard time attracting the
attention of studio officials.
Now they're doing 1t through
thesrather obvious device Of put
ting on plays as amateurs and
inviting casting directors and
talent scouts to have a look.
Out Of their first production,
Small Miracle three men of
the cast got acting assignments
in pictures.
In case you haven't realized
some of. the maddening lengths
to which studio technicians will

here's an item about the candles
that have been invented at Sam
Goldwyn's establishment:
Candles might not seem to be
much of problem because even
the most ordinary ones photo

they burn down. And II they're

So now they've got a fake
candle of adjustable length with
a tiny gas flame coming out the
top. Some sort of flame is es-
sential, but gas doesn't flicker
just right. So inside that there's
a still smaller electric bulb con-
nected with a rheostat to create
a Pickering effect.

Since the majority of dress ex-

The cycle of musicals this sea-

together with lots of war stuff
lis likely to leave the atmoS-
phere people worrying about in
come taxes at the end of this
semester.
Last year was a time when
scared producers were slashing
budgets and ordering scenarists
and directors to eliminate crowd
shots. One quickie had a climac-
tic sequence with a gun fight in
a night club and the scripter
wrote: Sirens and whistles are
heard, and two policemen swarm
into the ROOM"
1t was the year, too, when q
reorganized Central Casting Bu-
reau tossed out favoritism and
grimly began to distribute jobs
evenly among players Of the var
ious classifications. The result,
naturally. was that most of 'em
starved. A report just compiled
shows that only 81 per cent
earned as much as $3.50 month
during the year. Only nine ex-
tras among some 1900 earned
between $500 and $4,000 in
1910, and only one topped $4,000.

Of the 22O extras who made
$3.50 a month, 100 were dress
