the fisheries hearing of the Colum
bia Basin Inter-agency committee.
He outlined the McNary dam

progress in lower Columbia fish

WELLINGTON, O., (/Pi—What
would you do if you found more
than $30,000 in cash in your base
ment?
Well, that is exactly what 60-!
year-old Richard A. Cardray says
he will do—keep it, if possible.
Vordray said he found the;
money Sept. 29 when he knocked
out a partition to make way for ,
a gas furnace.
The 55-year-old, 16-room man-!

Cordray, Wellington’s sanitary I
engineer since 1937, bought the
home 15 years ago from Charles
Ross. Both Palmer and Ross are
dead.
All Cordray’s four children are
grown, and he lives alone with his
wife.
“I bought the house and I ex
pect to keep what is in it,” he said.
Ross was described by the
townspeople of the time as an “ec
centric plunger.” Renters occu
pied the house for a number of
years before Cordray bought it.
Gen. Collins Silent
On Marine
“Police Force”
McChord Air Force Base, Wash.
(/P)—Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army
chief of staff, declined—with a
laugh—Monday night to comment
on charges that he would reduce
the marine corps to a “police
force.”
Collins left by plane for Wash
ington, D. C., after a brief visit
with the base commander, Col.
Fred C. Nelson, and other air
force and army officers.
“I’ll comment tomorrow,” he
laughed, “when I return to Wash
ington and have time to study
General Cates’ remarks at leisure.”
Gen. Clifton B. Cates, command
ing officer of the marine corps,
told the House armed services
committee Monday that Collins
was the author of a plan to turn
over most of the marines’ func
tions to the army and air force.
Collins arrived her eafter a di
rect flight from Adak in the Aleu
tian islands where he stopped en
route back from Tokyo.
