Another Attempt
Started To Scale
Famous Mountain

OSLO-Another attempt to as
cend the top of the famous Manga
Parbat of Himalaya will be made
in 1850 by a group of Norwegian
alpinists. With its S,l20 metres,
the Manga Parbat is higher than
any mountain assembled up to
now. The record was set in 1886,
when two Englishmen reached
the summit of the 1916 metres
high Nanda Dew.
The expedition will be led by
DR.. Arne Naess, professor OF
philosophy at the Oslo university.
Professor Naess plans to 60 to
Himalaya next summer together
with one of the members of his
group. w. Auberf, to get a first

The ascent itself does not offer
any particular difficulties to the
experienced alpinist. AS the
mountain slope is covered by
huge masses of snow and ice,
there will be no ordinary rock
climbing. The expedition will
have to pass a few ice-Walls on
its way to the summit, but the
greatest problem will be how tc

State Home Demonstration Agen,

Wise Waste-1949 Resolution:
To throw away sometimes is
thriftier than to save, household
management specialists say. They
explain that some articles, likely
to accumulate around the house,
are accident hazards which should
be discarded promptly.
Any Clipped or cracked glass
ware-Whether tumbler, canning
jar, cooking or serving dish
should be retired from use to pre-
vent cuts as possible waste OF
flood. Clipped enamelware also
should 60 out of kitchen service
because it may leave tiny glass
like particles in food prepared or
cooked in it. Once china or pot
terry is cracked or Clipped, it can
not be kept sanitary by ordinary
dish washing. A cracked cup,
| therefore, is a health hazard as
we'll as an accident hazard.
Tipsy pots and pans have caus-
ed many serious burn. Cooking
utensils should stand steady on
the stove.
Home medicine cabinets are in
clined to fill up. Old pills pres
criptions and remedies are nui-
sance and are dangerous to have
around. They should never be
saved for future use except on
specific instructions from the ply
sician. Some drugs deteriorate
with age.
Other items which may wisely
60 out are toys with sharp points
or edges or any loose parts which
a child can get into his mouth.
Tiny toys have also proved dam
gerous for young children. If the
toy cannot be fixed for safety,
it pays to throw it away.
Finally, be sure not to throw
items on trash heaps or into open
containers where children can
find them.

basic accomplishment has been the
reorganization of county functions
and the setting up of agencies to
efficiently perform these functions.
/ There are a number of activities
in the county which still need CO.
ordinating, Mr.. Lee said. Improve
ments cited by him would include
the following: "a that the Park
and Planning Commission should
confine it's activity to planning, and
leave the administration to the
Council; (2) That there should be
a countrywide sanitation program,
under the Council, to eliminate the
existing contradiction of effort;
(3) that the Liquor Board should
be governed by the council; (4)
that the School Board should
be elected by the voters, or else by
the Council, rather than be ap-
pointed by the Governor.
Mr.. Lee expressed pride in the
accomplishments of the Council,
particularly in the financial field.
He explained that the county now
has balanced budget with monthly
accounting and a five year pro-
gram of capital expenditure has
been set up.

One main trouble with football s
schedules is the big gap that often
separates rivals. For example
Cornell was so points better than
Yale and Army was at least 70
points better than Harvard. Notre

points against Tulane.

What Price Big Menu

On recent IOOLDd1 eACuT6lOit
with Gene Tunney, Bernard CHM
bel and General Reed Fitzpatrick a
slight argument arose as to the
value Of weight and size. It was
Bernie Gimbels idea that player
weighing 100 pounds was big enough
for anybody.
.'How much better football
players do you want than Doak
Walker Of SMU or Charley
Justice Of North Carolina?"
Gimbel asked. "They stand at
165 or 1853. Red Grange was IT'S.
Jim Thorpe was. around 1870.
Pm not o great believer In
these 240 or ESQ pound masto-
dons."
SIT depends on how they can
move around" General fitzpatrick
said. "If they can move, weights
bound to help" Fitzpatrick was a
210 FOUNDER at Yale-one Of the all
time greats.
Anyway the debate took US west
ward to a pair of teams known as
Notre Dame and Minnesota. Bern
lie Gimbel's side of the argument
was right most of the time.
But recalling what happened to
Tulane and Ohio State we felt
something like Steve Owen who
saw Minnesota practice

The men 1 happened to think
about were Jim Martin, Leon
Hart and tackle Bob. Toneff Of
Notre Dame-Clayton Tonne

ry Ekberg Of Minnesota. Leon
Hart, at the age Of 20, is 6

A great center. Nomellini, tackle.

two Court conservatives also ap-
pointed by Mr.. Roosevelt. Justice
Murphy made plain his feeling
that in his opinions he was keep
ing the faith with the New Deal,
which by winning the elections
had made it possible for the
Roosevelt appointees to serve on
the Court. He was especially
critical of Justice Jackson, for
merly an ardent New Dealer and
the most effective defender of the
Roosevelt court packing plan.
These personal strains were re-
sponsible for much of the news
about Supreme Court feuding
though the basic cause, Of course,
is fundamental difference among
the Justices on principle.
Justice Murphy's closest friend
among his colleagues was the
paternal Justice Rutledge whose
well balanced and amfable dis
position was a perfect foil for the
high-strung, complex Murphy.
High Point In Life.
The late Justice was proud of
his civil liberties opinions and be-
lieved they we're his Court monu-
ment. But the high point of his
life came when he was Governor
of Michigan and settled the ex-
plosive sitdown strikes without
bloodshed.
During tense weeks by sheer
moral force he held wilful men in
conference-John L. Lewis. who
has built an enduring union on
the blood of its martyrs. and at
torheys for General Motors, who
knew the strike was legally wrong
and thought a show of violence
would put the public on their side.
Few politicians have the intestinal
fortitude to outlast such men.
As Attorney General Murphy
was proudest Of improving the
caliber of Federal judges and send
ing Tom Pendergast to Jail. Prob
ably his l1appiest years were spent
in the Philippines and he never
ceased to take a keen interest in
Philippine affairs.
Justice Murphy's complex and
paradoxtcal character did not al
ways show to advantage in his
personal affairs and his personal
affairs and his high moral tone
made him vulnerable to the charge
of hypocrisy. But he had the
Irish wit, he could be good fun.
He also had the Irish political
sense and nobody had . keener
ear for the Washington grapevine
nor understood better the struggle
for power here. And he was a
completely courageous and de-
voted friend,

But in the. seclusion of the
Court, Justice Murphy was cut of

masses of people whose side he sc
stubbornly took, right or wrong
Murphy the man was subordi-

On the Other Hand
Middleman's Dream Comes True in
Senate Appropriations Committee

were willing to pay, since they
would be the only customers.
Some idea Of what the private
utilities would have had to spend
to provide themselves with the
dams and power plants can be
obtained by a glance at what the
Government is putting into few
Of them: Shasta, $40, 100000; Big
Thompson, $105,000,000; Canyon
Ferry, $28, 8,500,000. The principal
beneficiaries Of the subsidy are
Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Mon
tana Power Co. and Public Serv-
ice Of Colorado.
For these companies, the &C
ton of the Senate committee is a
middleman's dream come true.
They would be able to buy at their
own price from the Government
and sell at their own price to the
public-all without investing
their own money in the basic
project.
Reason for About-Face.
Years back when the State Of
California undertook the great
Central Valley project, of which
Shasta Dam Is a part. Pacific Gas
g. Electric opposed 1t bitterly, but
finally lost. In time, the State
found itself unable to carry it
through and turned it over to the
Government. Recently the P. G..
81 E. has been heard to praise the
project. The reason for the about
face Is revealed by the success it
and the other big utility COM
panies have just registered In the
Senate committee.
Under the Reclamation Act it
is required that public bodies,
such as municipalities and irriga-
ton districts. shall be given pref
erence over any other purchasers
Of power generated at Government
dams. The Senate bill virtually
repeals this provision. The private
companies would sell as much or
as little as desired to the public
bodies and would sell at price
that represented their own idea
Of Q fair profit. Irrigation farmers
would be at their mercy.
This question of who shall own
the transmission lines was an
issue tn the last campaign. an i'm
portant issue in the Western
States. President Truman de-
clared that the Government
should build and operate them.
Candidate Dewey favored turning
them over to the private oper-
ators. At the moment, thanks to
the Senate committee, the election
returns seem In danger Of being
upset.
