.CHARLO-Follow a meeting Oh
the executive committee of the Com
mittee for Paradise Dam here Mon
day. President Paul Harlow, Thomp
son Falls, issued rejoinder to the
statement of President Ray Lomar
made some time ago on behalf of the
Upper Columbia Development Coun-
Gil. Taking up Mr.. Loman's points
one by one he said:
''In urging our congressional dele
cation to introduce our bill for Para
disc Dam, we have no motive in the
world except the desire to see our
State grow, prosper, and provide a
fine and decent home for the present
and all future generations of Mon
tanans.'
''The present bill has not been re-
viewed by the Corps of Engineers or
the Bureau of Reclamation" Harlow
stated, because such agency review
is almost never obtained before a
bill is introduced
"As to the economic feasibility of
the project" he continued, 'we do
not believe there is any doubt about
its actual feasibility, even in the face
of increased costs. We do expect that
the current review of the Corps will
prove costs of construction have
greatly increased, especially with re-
spect to the relocation of the rail-
roads. But in order to be feasible it
is only necessary for a project to
have a benefit-cost ratio somewhat
above one to one, and the original
benefit-cost ratio for Paradise was
IT to -
This MEANS" Harlow said, that
even if the increased costs of con-
struction and interest added as
much as a hundred million dollars
and reduced the benefit-cost ratio
to as low 1.2 to l, it would still
be completely feasible, would still
be more than able to pay for it
self, and would still have better
benefit-cost ratio than some other
projects already under construc-
ton or authorized.''
Mr.. Harlow quoted the Army Engi-
neers' 1948 308 Report, eff as
result of general price changes con-
;truction costs should be markedly
different from those of this report, |
benefits will probably also show a
general or similar variation so that
economic feasibility of the project is
lot necessarily affected by general
,rices." He also quoted General
Eoote in a letter dated July 20, 1857,
Interest rates have gone up for
10Th government and private company
borrowing, particularly for short !
'eriod loans. Interest rates for long
erm government borrowing probably
ave gone up the lesser amount be-
ause of the smaller risk factor"
at must also be borne in mind"
Harlow said, "that cost estimates
throughout the 308 Report) are
ased on 1948 prices of construction.
operation and main
enance, on federal and non-federal
interest at 8 and 31a per cent, re-
pectively, and on retirement of the
1vestment, with interest, in so
ears"
GAS to Mr.. Loman's assertion
that low-cost power would not at
tract industry to Montana" Har-
low continued, "we would let the
past speak for the future. If MIR.
Loman, or anyone else can point
out the historical case where power
available for industry at 2 or 2.5
mills per kilowatt hour has ever
gone begging for an industry to
use it, he will have discovered a
case no one else has ever heard Of"
"In this age of increasing electrifi- I

He gave Roger . fieetins. boyish
grin. "She caught you. So d was

A curious reddish mist was rising
in the room. Through Il Roger was
barely aware Of Bills farewell. The
door closed. Roger did not even hear
the bumbline thud Of the elevator.
After q time he went to the tele-
phone.
He knew the name Of Eunice's
lawyer She had told him that she had
made q viii leaving everything to
him, her husband. He knew the
name Of the brokerage firm which,
Eunice had said. saw TO her invest

bank. Al the end Of an hour or so he
knew more than that. He knew that
Bill had told him the truth.
The girl in the lawyers. Office was
polite. They had been puzzled BY his
letter. The lawyer had been away and
had just returned. But Mrs. Ledyard
had never been one Of their clients.
No. she was sorry. there was some
mistake. The brokerage firm was As
definite. His wife had never had an
account with them. A voice in the
bank told him, after long wait, that
his wife had a checking account. She
had no safe deposit box.

then that he existed no more than the
Cancelled checks and bank statements
which Eunice had destroyed to pre-
vent his seeing them, no more than
the brokers' statement which he'd
never been able to find.
The liar! How cleverly she had
deceived him, taking the best suite in
the hotel where they had met, wear
ing fine clothes. throwing her money
around like water. A rich widow!
She wouldn't have caught him so
easily IL he hadn't been on the verge

After . moment Roger said,

II don't know. Il was hard to

married him. But when he died,
Eunice knew she was on her own

drinking" He looked at the murky
rug for a long time. Then he raised
his head. but you gave her the hap
piest two years Of her life. That's all
I wanted 10 say"
He was now definitely leaving.
Roger said, Thank you for coming
to see me-" He must be friendly; he
added, "Eunice's will hasn't been
probated yet. don't know anything
about il but I'm sure she must have
left something to you"
He stopped because young Bill
Shay was staring at him with frank
amazement. "Eunice wouldn't have
made a will! She had nothing to leave
anybody! Oh. maybe few hundred
dollars. Unless she held onto more Of
what her first husband left her than ]
think she did"
An extraordinary, choking band
fastened itself around Roger Led
yards throat. which was in its way
fortunate, for Bill went on talking.
Il think il was about twelve thou

He was an oil man -" Roger
said, before he could stop himself.
HE was a fioorwalker in the store

into his overcoat. ''She splureed

He said the trial judge erred

take the risk rather than spend
his last days in prison.
He won . pyrrhic victory. A

Stared Backs Goldsmith

In New York. Associated Press
General Manager Frank j. STAR
eel issued this statement:
The decision of the highest
court of Switzerland. to the ef-
feet that a journalist does not
have immunity from disclosing a
news source in judicial proceed
ings. does not alter Michael
Goldsmith's responsibility to his
confidential informant respecting
the espionage inquiry.
THE accuracy of Goldsmith's
Information was never chal-
lenged at any time during the
course of the proceedings. nor
was any improper action imputed
against him. There has been no
representation that Goldsmith's
refusal to disclose the identity of
his informant or informants has
impeded in any way the investi-
cation by the Swiss authorities.
Accordingly. we advised Gold
smith to follow the dictates of
his own conscience in the matter
and it was his decision that he
could not honorably do otherwise
than to refuse, to break con-
fidence.
81 am in full accord with Gold
smiths decision. much as I re-
gret the circumstances which re-
quire him to be at odds with the
authorities of country in which
he is a guest as our correspon-
dent. Obviously. a free flow of
information is impossible if con-
fidential sources are not pro-
tected under circumstances such
as are involved in this case"

On Jail Term

LAUSANNE. Switzerland, May
8 R.-The Swiss Federal Tri-
bunal today rejected the COM
plant filed by Associated Press
Correspondent Michael Gold
smith against his Imprisonment
for refusing to disclose his news
sources in an espionage case.
Mr.. Goldsmith was sentenced
to "a hours in Jail by Examining
Magistrate Hans Valdez in Bern
on April 26. Magistrate Valdez
is investigating the suicide of
Attorney General Rene Dubois
and espionage charges against
Federal Police Inspector Max
Ulr;ch.
Mr.. Goldsmith was the first
newsman to disclose details of
the allegations against Inspec-
tor Ulrich on March 20. Three
days later Mr.. Dubois shot him
self in the attic of his home.
and the Swiss government dis
closed that he also was involved
In the espionage investigation.
Newsman Wouldn't Answer
Magistrate Valdez subpoenaed
Mr. Goldsmith on April 26 to
question him about the sources
of his information. Mr.. Gold
smith refused to answer, basing
his refusal on Article SIS of the
Swiss constitution which guar
antees the freedom of the press.
The Federal Tribunal, Swift
zerland's supreme court, rejected
Mr.. Goldsmith's complaint in a
closed session without giving
any reasons. The tribunals ex-

Unlike many opera hopefulS, the 24-year-
old brunette didn't begin voice study until
she was IT, She had always sung at home
to her mothers piano accompaniment, but
never took music seriously until Miss
Katherine Fowler, music teacher at Nc
Kinley High School. noted her fine voice
and suggested she take private lessons.
After graduation from Mckinley in 1851,
she enrolled at American University as
music major and continued her voice study.
During her school years she sang in USO
shows around Washington and as far away
as Oklahoma and Canada.
In New York, Linda shares an apartment
with an older woman and a Doberman
puppy. About once a month she finds time
to visit her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin
Weisbrod. Between working in My Fair
Lady, studying opera and occasional singing
Jobs like soloing in a synagogue, Linda
manages to squeeze in dates with her
regular boy friend. In hunting season,
they often go on a pheasant shooting
excursion in the country around New York.
But Linda has made up her mind that
neither boy friends nor glamorous jobs In
Broadway musicals will distract her from
her goal-Singing leads with top opera
company She's one ex-beauty queen who
wants to be Seen-and heard-again.

minute addition, she won job as one of
the eight girl singers in the chorus of My
Fair Lady. the musical that turns away
dozens of applicants for each tiny part.
Although Linda likes singing in My
Fair Lady, it's only a bread-and-bu
job to her She still studies opera, under
the Regina Resnik scholarship and a grant
from the National Society of Arts and
Letters, a private organization which helps
support young artists. Besides appearing
in eight My Fair Lady performances week
and studying singing, Linda takes part in
an opera workshop run for members OF the
cast by Franz Alters, musical director OF
My Fair Lady For two hours each week,
Mr.. Alters trains the young singers and
orchestra members on a particular opera.
The operas are free to audiences of friends
on a strictly for experience basis.
On a strictly professional basis, Linda
appeared in the NBC Operas television
production of War and Peace in January.
In the credits she was listed as Linda
McNaughton. the name she uses in My Fair
Lady. When she auditioned for the Metro
politan Opera Company last year, one OF
the company's officials commented that
Weisbrod is a poor stage name, SO Linda
adopted McNaughton, her mothers maiden
name
