who represented FL Paso Ma

potentially rich pipe line to run
between Southwestern (U. s.

Tennessee Gas Transmission,
which had an alternate pro-
posal for a California pipe line,
was opposing the application.
She was promised immunity
from prosecution if she COM
piled with the court order.
Mrs. Anderson is the second

employe to be ordered to testify.
Early this month another sec
rotary, Miss Peggie Louise Ev-

from galoping over the hills

down."
The third poll the end of
October is paydirt.
1.-THE leader in our last poll
is a winner, barring hanky-

There is no braggadocio in
this dopester. He simply has
found a formula that has
matched voting returns within
2 percentage points in almost
every election in Oregon since
1948.
Here is his system:
The Warehouses buy Off
cial registration lists from IL
counties. They divide the IL
into four groups. Each group,
they have discovered by pains
taking analysis, votes as its
section of Oregon votes.
From the four county groups,
they choose their mailing list.
In all, about 100000 ballots are
mailed.
Sources too partisan to be
completely reliable say that the
Waterhouse ratings now are
52-48 for Democratic Senator
Morse over Republican Sig I'm
ander and 60-40 for Republic
can Gov. Mark Hatfield over
challenger Robert Thornton.
Mr.. Waterhouse will say only
that Senator Morse campaigns
best against a peppery at
tacker. The Senator is suffer-
ing some because Sig Unander
is too nice a guy" to pick on.
Slipping his liqueur pensively,
Mr.. Waterhouse ventures that
Mark Hatfield has tried to be
a Governor to all the people.
He's bright. I rather like
him."

Senators Told
Of Program 10
House Aged

The National Capital Hous-
ing Authority is considering
two downtown sites for hous-
ing for the aged, Walter E.
Washington, agency director,
disclosed today.
Mr.. Washington was one of
the five persons who appeared
before the new Senate SUBJ
committee on Involuntary Re-
location of the Elderly. Sena-
tor Williams, Democrat of New
Jersey, conducted the two-day
hearings which ended today.
One of the downtown sites
being explored is near the
northern boundaries estab-
lished by the Downtown Prog
ress Committee" Mr.. Wash
ington told the subcommittee
The other is in the vicinity of
Judiciary Square, he said.
Won't Name Sites
He would not identify the ex-
act locations of the sites be-
cause, he explained, the project
is mainly in the talking stage.
Both of the sites are inlying
and both sites are character
lied by a large number Of
rooming houses and tenements
presently housing an admir-
ture of many racial and ethnic
groups" he said.
Mr.. Washington emphasized
that the aged persons living
in these areas have settled here
voluntarily and he believed that
Government agencies should
try to recreate this pattern.
He said housing for the aged
should be in familiar surround
ings where the elderly have de-
veloped neighborhood ties. They
should not be moved to outly-
ing areas, he said.
Facilities for Unwed
Phil A. Doyle, executive di-
rector of the District Redevel-
opment Land Agency, suggested
that local housing authorities
should be allowed to build IA
cilities for the single aged such
as residential hotels with good
rooms and a central dining
hall. He said also that there
should be some way found to
provide counseling services to
small businessmen displaced by
urban renewal projects.
Commissioner Frederick j.
Clarke told the committee that
about 1000 families will be
displaced by various urban re-
newal projects in the next four
years. The District highway
program will create a "substan-
tial load" of the relocation
problem, he said.
Already under construction
are some 480 public housing
units designed primarily for
elderly persons, he said. "Our
hope is that the liberalized pro-
visions of the Housing Act Of
1851 will generate new inter-
est in providing private hous-
ing and nursing homes for the
elderly"
