A would-be bandit failed in a
holdup attempt at a Northeast
grocery last night when the
owner, a World War II army
veteran, drove him off with two
pistol shots.
The bandit fired back three
shots from a nickle-plated pistol.
No one was hurt in the exchange
but the light-Skinned colored
man, believed the same man who
earlier escaped with 5000 in an
other grocery holdup, left empty
handed.
Hero of the drama was Bud M.
Chieu. 35, owner of the store at
653 Eighth street NE.
He and his wife. Nellie. 35,
were alone in the store when the
bandit entered and walked to
the meat counter at the rear.
Mr.. Chieu saw the gun in the
mans hand and raised his arms.
The gunman ordered him. to
lower his arms and Mrs. Chieu

$1,000 accounts are involved.
Heaviest Users to Pay More.
The maximum accounts will
of course, feel the increases
most. The theory here is that
these can best afford a bigger
raise. Top among these Gus
toners is the Federal Govern
ment which is covered by an
other works program provision
requiring that it pay for all the
water it uses-about STA mil
lion per year-instead of the 81
million lump sum payment as at
present. The Government also
would pay the proposed so pei
cent sewer charge.
Other big users are Washing
tons train traffic; Standard
Brands. which runs yeast
plant; and hotels generally.
Under the existing rate struc-
ture. consumers pay $4.5 million
annually for water. An addi-
tional $1,000 comes from
Waterman assessments, $3.50 ,00C
from water sales to Arlington
County and nearly 100000 from
other sources exclusive of the
81 million Federal water pay
ment. The water system also is
supported by Federal loans
which will amount to 81 million
during the current fiscal year.

The Commissioners touchy
proposal to release Pound dogs
to local research centers and
medical schools can be expected
to raise more controversy to-
morrow as the second public
hetaring on the move opens at
10 am. in the District Building
Tonlorrow's hearing is an ex-
tension of the first one held on
December 4. Opponents of the
proposal. represented by F..
Joseph Donohue, former District
Commissioner, at that time
asked and were granted, more
time to assemble their case.
Much of the first hearing was
taken up with the testimony of
local doctors and research scien-
lists who roundly backed the
proposal. Heated opposition is
expected tomorrow from pet
owners and animal societies.
The proposal does not specifi-
cally deal with vivisection-the
use of dogs for medical research.
Still. much of the fight stems
from this argument. 1t came
up repeatedly at the last
meeting.
Dogs Bought in Pennsylvania.

would allow medical centers to
buy from the Pound, dogs the
Pound intends to destroy. These
dogs have never been available
to local doctors who have bought
animals from a dealer in Penn

Yellowtail Dam A
Foredoomed Failure

We seem to be in an age when cOlos-
sal expenditures of government funds
raised by taxation, for the construction
of numerous large power, irrigation,
navigation and flood control projects
is the fashion. 1t matters not whether
they are feasible, economical, practi-
cal even desirable. They are largely
promoted by minority pressure groups
of merchants, business men, Chambers
of Commerce and others in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the project who expect
to profit from the additional business
created during the huge expenditures
and seldom supported by a majority
of the people presumed to be benefited.
The Yellowtail dam at the mouth of
the Big Horn Canyon is a good illus
tration. 1t is being promoted largely
by uniformed people who have no
direct interest in it whatever. No
one seems to have ever questioned it's
feasibility, or the chance of it's return
ing the money to be invested, not even
the Bureau of Reclamation.
The Colorado River carries the heav-
lest percentage of silt of any river in
the world, and the Big Horn River
is the second greatest silt carrier
About 20 years ago, as an engineer
with the Montana State Water Con-
servation Board, l was detailed to
make an investigation of the problems
of an irrigation project in the Big
Horn Valley about 20 miles north of
Hardin Their trouble was that their
main ditch would fill up with silt in
about 80 days, and they would have
to eXcavate the entire canal before
they could irrigate again. The cost was
prohibitive and the ditch company
went broke.
From my tests at that time of the
silt carrying potential of the Big Horn
River, l can state quite definitely that
because of the exceedingly small StOr-
age capacity behind YelloWtail Dam
Qess than million acre feeD it can
level full in less than 25 years.
All irrigation based on YellOwtail
Dam storage would be wiped out and
all farmers under such irrigation prof.
ects would be bankrupted. Power pro-
duction would be reduced forever to
that which can be produced only by
the daily flow of the river and sub
stantial part of the time would be less
than 1870 of the power plants rated
capacity probably less than $4,000 to
Is, 900 XIV according to the flow rec
ords of the L. S. Geological Survey
extending over more than 20 years.
Public utilities, REA's and others de-
pending on this dam for their power
will have to go out of business or de-
velop other sources of supply.

Texas is neither Democratic nor Re-
publican. Both old parties are run by
4 millionaire oil men and their hench-
men. Not content with electing the
governor and all key offices in the
state, they threw out their money for
a president of the United States. They
landed one.
The combined wealth made in oil (by
favoritism in income taXatiOn) of Hugh
Cullen, Sid Richardson, Clint Murchi-
son and H. S. Hart amounts to $500
million dollars.

Senate GROUP CONSIDERS giving
MINING Interests BONANZA

Is years, u. S. Treasury officials
have repeatedly asked that deple-
ton allowances be eliminated al
together.
Williams asked Treasury Secre-
tary George M. Humphrey for his
views late in April. Humphrey said
his agency is still studying the ques-
ton and is mot in a position to make
recommendation in this area" Will
liams said cutting the oil tax provi-
sion from 27 70 % to 1596 would bring
in $3.50 million more taxes a year,
would "close a loophole that needs
plugging"
Not content with having nailed
down depletion allowances for oil
companies at the high 27H%, the
committee May 26 voted to make it
clear that any oil producer can also
deduct from his taxable income all
so-called intangible drilling costs.
These include labor, overhead, and
all other costs up until the time it's
proved that well is a producer or
dry hole.
