 Davenport reports other improve ments in the offing, improvements that probably won't come with either the 1947 or l948 models, as follows: Two-way radio phones, Diesel-powered passenger cars (to be manufactured by at least two companies), supercharged engines, and air conditioning.
 And the almost fabulous jeep," Davenport says, twill be trimmed here and there to meet the softer exactions of peace," so that ''it will be a sort of cross between station wagon and utility truck"
 The new cars will cost IS to 20 per cent more than prewar models due to the increase in the cost of materials and labor, according to Davenport, but Ford and Chevro- let are said to be preparing to offer junior models of their cars, with fewer expensive innovations, at about the same price as their prewar models.
 Davenport contends that the war; time discovery of new processes and uses of materials has "nurtured anew the spirit of competition" within the automobile industry and that, with the reported entry of aviation manufacturers into the automobile field, price war is possible.
 Every automotive laboratory has become "the repository of fact and theory" he says, with which to produce something revolutionary for you and me to jam the highways with on postwar week-ends."

DetrOit Plans I4N NeuU Features For Autos
 Rear Engines. Flexible Glass Tops,

 RefFigerotoFs for Beer Coming Soon

New York, Aug. 24-Rugged com petition is going to be the key note in the postwar automobile industry and the new cars, within just two or three years, will likely boast as many as IA structural changes and Inew gadgets, Walter Davenport, as- sociate editor of Golfers, reports in signed article In the current issue of the national weekly.
 On the basis of recert study in Detroit of the industry's postwar plans, Davenport declares that it is now impossible to forecast with accuracy what new features will be incorporated in any specific car but that the 1947 of 1948 models as a whole probably will boast the following new designs and innova- tions.
 1. Engines will be over the rear axles in at least two cars, with space for your luggage, fuel and spare tires up front.
 2. WindShields will curve around to the lintels of the forward doors, abolishing the solid posts at either end of the current windshields and giving motorists greater visibility.
 3. Car tops, from the slls of the windows up, will be made of un- breakable and flexible glass, some of which will be opaque ''so that you won't have the feeling of riding around in an aquarium"
 1. Solid metal tops, when retained on cars, will fold up and telescope back into the luggage department.
 5. Engines will be smaller but give more power.
 6. Cars will be fenderless, sug- gesting ''the offspring of the union of flatiron and a beetle"
 '. Rear windows will be wider and deeper and equipped with wipers.
 8. Water sprayers will wash mud off your car as fast as it accumu- lateS.

 To Ourselves

Never before In the worlds history has war been decided so far behind the line of battle.
 Notwithstanding the smashing blows struck by the Army and the Navy as they fought their way up from Pearl Harbor to climax in the Pacific, it is fact that Japan has not been de- molished by military might as Germany was. Fortunately for the lives and future happiness of millions of Americans, she surrendered to force ir being, and not to force expended, to the supe- rior scientific and productive power of the United States and her allies.
 It is fair to say that military and naval power drove this enemy to defeat down road built by research, by productive efficiency, by the hard work of countless men and women who never heard shot fired. To all of these Americans we are most grateful.
 In the national sorrow for those who gave their lives, in the jubiation of victory, the sig ni6cance of this truly unique achievement must not escape us, because it is the one advance in human thinking to emerge from the holocaust. If we have learned the lesson of this tremendous power of ours, and will begin to apply it imme- diately, we may never again have to go to war.
 Scientific progress and productive efficiency are the most wonderful weapons of all time because they do not have to be laid aside when the fighting ends. They must not De Iaid aside. In-

University Professor
Speaks on Marriage

Prof. Norman Haner, on an ex-
tended leave of absence to COM
plete speaking tour of the state,
was featured at the Tuesday noon
session of the Kiwanis club. Pro-
lessor Haner spoke on the subject
of What Makes for Success in
Marriage" .@& Fe
He outlined the factors relating
to successful marriages, drawing
from his many years of experience
in the field of sociology to illus
trate his subject.
He stressed the importance of
long acquaintanceship before mar
riage to assure an understanding
of cultural characteristics and to
provide companionship. Stability
of occupation rather than amount
of money possessed is an import
ant factor.
The problem of sex relation
ships, Prof. Haner said, is second
airy to personalities and cultural
understanding of the parties in
volved. Success in marriage is
an achievement, rather than a dis
covery," he said.
Quoting statistics, he stated
that marriages of couples over 20
years of age were most successful.
He favored the teaching of sub
jects dealing with the understand
ing of family life in high schools
and junior highs. ":

Just beginning to realize that the
1915 state Legislature spent a
lot of the taxpayers money.
That's putting it mildly.
The recent session authorized
the greatest spending spree on
which this state ever has embark
ed. The total budget from all
sources is $562, 020,911. OF that,
S119,81O,O21 is federal money.
The balance will come out of the
State of Washington in taxes, fees,
fines, licenses and other forms.
And, of cource, the term federal
money is soft one. In the final
analysis, it too means the peoples
money.
A few comparisons may make

Woodward Analyses Legislative
Spending al End Of Session

with six times the population of
the State of Washington-spends
in one year. 1t is almost double
what this state ever has spent
before in a biennium.
People, however, are tired of
hearing reactionaries moan about
government spending. The spend
ing of huge sums should not ne
cessarily earn immediate crit
cism. Perhaps the huge ALLEGATIONS
are needed. Perhaps they are not.
This column does not intend
to sit in judgment. However, a
few factual indications of where
the money will be spent may be
Illuminating.
One whopping big reason for
the increase is the $50 old-age
pension which both political par
ties approved. Pensions, however,
will not be limited to $50 month
ly. That is just the "floor." There
is no statutory ceiling. 1t is based
on the states determination of
the applicants "need."

administrators scrutinize the

plicants and how many thousands

Join n alton in
Clothing Drive
James Leavy to Head
Committee to Run
Through April

Kennewick people are going to
do their share in the forthcoming
drive for clothing for the war
torn countries. Already the pre-
liminary steps to handle the drive
have been taken, committees ap-
pointed and plans are being laid
for the actual drive itself. -
Under the local sponsorship of
the Kiwanis club, the following
executive committee has been
named to handle the collection of
clothing so desperately needed in
the devastated regions: James
Leavy, chairman; Burns Brown,
Herbe Henne, j. H. Siegfried, Ur-
ban Keolker, Dale Finnigan and
A. E. Parlier. This group COM
poses the War Citizenship COM
mittee for the Kennewick district.
It is planned to have the
churches, the several civic Or
CARNATIONS and other local groups
make the actual drive. Depots
where the clothing may be left
will be announced and packing
and shipping committees will then
see that the donations get to the
proper shipping points. z =
The drive will last during April
and will be the only one of its
kind to be undertaken. The goal
for the entire nation has been set
at five pounds of disable clothing
for every man, woman and child
in the nation. No doubt Kenne-
wick will achieve its objective
in this as in every other war eff
fort so far engaged.

Area Short Of
Red Cross Goal;
County Over Top

In an effort to bring the Red
Cross War Fund campaign to a
successful conclusion, Kennewick
workers are putting on a final
drive to bring this area over the
top.
Mrs. Wayne Houston, local
chairman, announced yesterday
that the total collected here had
reached $5,539.16. This is still
$4,000 short of the quota set of
$500. She requests that workers
or individuals turn in contribu-
tons by the end of this week.
Some sections have not reported
as yet.
Benton county has surpassed its
quota of $4,000, reaching $45, 900
this week. With the final effort it
is hoped that the county will
reach $4,000. tx.
Mrs. Houston is appealing to all
Kennewick residents who have
not been contacted who wish to
make contributions to get them in
this week. Money can be left at
the office of the Courier-Reporter.

Big Crowd Jams
Courtroom for
Dam Hearing
Wide Interest Shown
In Ultimate Result of
Pool Elevation

Jamming the courtroom in the
court house at Pasco, interested
spectators listened intently to pro-
ceedings Of the hearings conduct
ed by army engineers to deter
mine sentiment in regard to the
pool elevation Of the Umatilla
dam.
While sentiment generally fav-
ored the plan for a 340 foot level,
residents of the Kennewick side
Of the river were primarily inter
ested in determining the effect of
the water level as TO Seepage
water and the height Of the pro-
posed dyke.
Engineer Nelson Of Portland,
associated with army engineers in
planning the project, explained
with the use Of maps swhat the
project would entail and drew
a picture of the final result. He
pointed out that the height of the
dyke would be determined by the
natural contour Of the present
river bank and would reach a
maximum height Of approx
mately 20 feet. The average
height adjacent to Kennewick
would be around 10 to Is feet.
n Pumps would be installed as
necessary to remove excess seep-
age water.
M. M. Moulton, speaking for the
Kennewick port district, ques-
toned the engineers as to what
the higher level would do to the
ports program. He was assured
that port districts would be given
every consideration and would be
shown. exactly what the water
level would do.
The hearing was attended by
representatives from wide area,
including Lewiston, Walla Walla,
Pendleton and other points down
the river. Col. Ralph A. Tudor
Of the army engineers, presided
over the meeting. Karl Grimm,
Pasco attorney, presented witness
ses. An excellent portable loud
speaker system was used, max
ing il possible for everyone in
the crowded room to hear all the
speakers. @a
A delegation Of Umatilla and
Yakima Indians presented pro-
test to the construction of the dam
in that it would endanger fish
life and destroy their fishing
grounds. They were assured by
Colonel Tudor that they would be
given every consideration, that
the engineers were working with
the fish and game commission to
assure a minimum damage to fish
and that Indians would be fur
nished with new fishing grounds
or reimbursement for their loss.
r. E. Holden spoke for the
Kenneick Chamber Of Commerce.
He expressed the sntiment that
was general in the. hearing, that
the chamber favored a dvelop-
ment program that would produce
the greatest good to the greatest
number.
There was no definiate opposi-
ton, other than a question in the
minds of some as to the ultimate
result of the proposed plan.
Colonel Tudor gave definite as
surance that all parties would be
heard and suggested that Engineer
Nelson spend several days in this
area at a later date to take up
problems individually. 4
