A eva?

If you are like most newspaper
readers who only read the editor
ial column if they have time after
digesting everything else in the
paper you have already read the
article in this issue by Senator
Mitchell. He promises us a series
that will state his views in detail
on this important subject of a
Columbia Valley Authority.
This first article is largely in
PRODUCTION and we hope the SEN
ator will rapidly get down to
cases. It is subject that has been
discussed widely in this area and
most of us have our own ideas
pretty well formed.
The consensus is that we want
a bill designed for the Pacific
Northwest. Senator Mitchell pro-
misses us that his bill, known as
Senate Bill 400 is just that. We
quote from his letter:
LEGISLATION is always arrived
at through an exchange of ideas.
Senate $50 has in it a number of
innovations but it is based chiefly
on the Tennessee Valley Authori-

pose of the local branch to pro-
vide social ana recreational
meeting place for the home people
as well as the temporary, war
industry workers actually living
on the project.
According to Miss Frances
Crowley, director, the recreation
room, kitchen, dance floor and
gymnasium are at the disposal of
the public. This means you can
drop in for an informal afternoon
or evening, or, by pre-arrange-
ment with the director, use the
facilities for a club dinner, an af-
ternoon tea, a birthday party,
private dance or any similar func-
ton.

Although the Kennewick USO
has been functioning for three
months, recent inquiries show
that many persons living in Ken

to serve the entire district. While
it is true that many USA build

war emergency, such is not the
case here. In fact, the buildings
are Federal property, owned by
the Federal Public Housing Au-

direction of USO. It is the pur-

ty law as it has been modified
from time to time by amendment
and court action. Other eva bills
have been drafted. Congressman
Rankin has a House bill and Sec
rotary Ickes has drafted a bill
which was printed by a Senate
committee but not introduced.
These last two bills create other
authorities than the eva. My bill
is designed for our Pacific North
west alone"
There is still time for revision
of the bill. The senator states that
he will welcome any criticism or
suggestions. We urge that he be
given the benefit of any advice
that any of us may have to offer.

China, India and Brazil, and was
about to settle things in Europe
"HoW about taking just one coun-

state or in this whole country
where everyone is literate and
well-fixed. Maybe if it could be
demonstrated that small area
can be perfected. we would know
what to do about large Ones"
My position was that all the
world could, if it would, profit
by our example. Here in America
a free people, by building great
new tools to work with, have pro-
duced much higher well-being
than has ever been known. New
my friend was not
wrong. The job is not finished
as long as any Americans live in
slums and shacks because they
can not earn enough to live bet
ter. Tools and methods need to
be improved until the stupid, the
dull, and the disadvantaged can
earn more. A dull boy, worth a
dollar day with a hoe, may earn
three dollars if he can learn to
drive tractor, and seven dol
lars if he can operate an auto
matte machine making parts for
the tractor.
Until man can earn a fair
living, he can contribute little
besides his own integrity and
friendliness toward improving his
country. Civilizations graces

produce. Yet neither seven nor
