war assets administration for re
sale to veterans, who get it throus
exercising their priority.

others at a profit.”

Rate Hikes Will
Be Protested
WASHINGTON, </P) — Any ef
fort in the new congress to force
nc: eases in rates charged for Bon
neville power will be opposed
soy members of Congress from
Washington and Oregon.
Rep. Horan <R.-Wash.> said to
day the two states’ delegations
would exert every effort to pre
vent anything being written into
appropriations bills to increase the
rates, which are $17.50 per kilo
watt year, the lowest in the United
States.
Private power companies have
charged that the rates were too
low but last year Horan had the
Bonneville power administration
hire a firm of private accountants
to make a cost study of the power
produced from Bonneville and
*
Grand Coulee government dams.
The report contended that the
low rate would return to the gov
ernment its entire investment and
leave a small balance.

A Rootin’, Tootin’
Sewer Man?
GREAT FALLS, Mont. —Bill
Shea, city sanitation inspector -
dered a man to clear away
junk he’d thrown into an alley.
The man refused, and next day
he called the inspector’s office and
asked, “Anybody named Shea
working there?”
Said Shea, “Oh yes, I know him
well.”
“Well, he’s been down here tru
in’ to keep me from throwin’ things
I don’t want in an alley that don’t
belong to him,” the fellow said.
“You tell him if he comes around
again I’m gonna carve him with
my razor.”
“Why, Shea’s one of the tough
est hombres in town,” said the in
spector. “He carries a .38. You'd
better move that stuff.”
Followed silence, a click—and
no further complaints.
“Psychology,” says Shea. “Just
psychology.”
