The answer lies in ther full and integrated use of the water resources of the Columbia Rive rsystem. That means not merely more dams. In the opinion of serious students of the problem such as BE. B. MacNaughton, chairman of the First National Bank of Portland, it means management of these water resources by an authority similar in pattern to the Tennessee Valley Authority.

State Authorities Pushed

THERE IS, however, powerful opposition to the authority plan and relatively little organized support for it. As a substitute, separate state authorities are being pushed. This concept is believed to have the backing of private utility interests. : But the turbulent Columbia is not confined within: the ‘borders of a single state. To release the vast power that is now wasting as it flows to the sea, management would have to cross Oregon and Wi boundaries and go into British Columbia, as well. The present boom undoubtedly owes a great deal to the millions that were poured into this area in federal spending during the war. It is possible that it is being sustained in the face of present sky-high prices by those who are being compelled to spend surpluses accumulated in the war years.

THE BIG IDEA back of today's plece is to shed some light—if ever so little—on how and when the more abundant life wormed its way

into Indianapolis, . ITEM 'ONE: ‘The first angel’ food haked around here was constructed to measurements thought up by Catherine, eldest daughter of Lyman Beecher. The recipe (circa 1850) called for the whites of 15 eggs which was why it showed up only on special occasions. The fact, too, that it had an inherent tendency to “fall” whenever anybody approached the kitchen stove, constituted such a hazard that most women were afraid to risk baking it. It wasn’t until the Nineties when the New York Store advertised a new-fangled cake pan, guaranteed to bake angel food under any and all conditions, that Indianapolis women had the nerve to try ‘it. Even more revolutionary was the New York Store's assurance that only 12 egES were necessary. Today, you're lucky to bite into an angel food made of nine eggs. Moreover, you have to ask for angel “cake” today.

First Head of Cauliffdwer

ITEM TWO: Some time around 1845, Henry Ward Beecher (Catherine’s brother) raised the first head of Shulifiowes in Indianapolis. It was grown in the backyard of his cottage situated on the site of what is now 433 E. Market St. Chances” are that Mr. Beecher's. wife served it with white sauce. To get white sauce today, you have to go high hat and ask for Sauce Bechamel.

ITEM THREE: Tomatoes weren't considered fit to eat until after the Civil War, notwithstanding documentary evidence that Alexander Ralston raised them in his garden on W. Maryland St. as early as 1823 (two years after he perfected his sophisticatéd plan for the capital of Indiana). Mr. Ralston’s name for the was ‘pomme d'amour” and he cultivated it as if it were an exotic flower. .Indeed, he planted it in his “rosarium.” And, to complicate matters still more, he explained to those willing to learn that the strange flower was an annual »0f the nightshade family.

Ah, Ha—Hasenpfeffer

ITEM FOUR: The first to produce a successful Hasenpfeffer in Indianapolis was a Mr. Protzmann, a German who used to maniifacture soap on the banks of the Canal in the neighborhood of W. McCarty St. (circa 1840). Not having vinegar to work with, Mr, Protzmann pickled his rabbit in buttermilk. It works as well today. ITEM FIVE: The first oysters were brought to Indianapolis by James Blake. They were pickled, too. They had to be in order to be transported in summer. = Circa 1829, Jimmy Blake did a right nice business running a fleet of six-horse Conestoga

It was considered good for nothing until Mr, Blake found a ready market for it in Phila1 to ships bound properties were known to Oriental civilization. Returning to Indiapapolis, Mr. Blake's wagons were loaded with tobacco, whisky, flour, spun yarn, gunpowder and pickled oysters—the essentials withwt which Occidental civilization can't hope to ve. .

ITEM SIX: The year after Mr. Blake brought the first oysters to lis, he surprised the natives with their first sight of celery. He said everybody in Philadelphia ate’

candies around here was John Hodgkins, an Englishman who had his shop on 8. Meridian St, about where the Merchants Bank people now do business. That was back in 1840. Prior to that time, Mr. Hodgkins owned, or leased, a quarter block where St. John's Church now stands. It wag an orchard which, a decade before, had belonged to George Smith, founder of the first newspaper In Indianapolis, Don’t fet that prejudice you against fruit. ’ ‘ Mr. Hodgkins equipped the orchard with seats and arbors and decorated it with gravelled paths and flower beds. When he got it fixed up to suit him, he called it a “pleasure garden.” It was here he sold a home-made quality of ice cream, the first to be retailed in Indianapolis,

First Beer Was ‘Lagered’

ITEM EIGHT: The first to have the imagination to brew beer in Indianapolis were John L. Young and William Wernweg (contractor for the National Road bridges in his region.) Their brewery was on W. Maryland St. To this day, there are mysterious caverns of baffling size in the neighborhood of California’ 8t. which are believed to have been the original cellars in which the first beer of Indiana was “lagered.” In 1840, the six-year-old brewery was sold to a Frenchman named Faux. Strangely enough, Mr. Faux’s beer proved to be a by-product, for he made most of his money selling yeast to Indianapolis housewives for their home-made bread and biscuits. . ; ITEM NINE: The best and least adulterated legal wine ever made in Indianapolis was produced, circa 1870, by the Houppert family, who lived on Meek St. (now Maryland) in the very heart of Irish Hill, ITEM TEN: And I don’t know how true it is, but somebody whose veracity I have never questioned once told me that the first bunch of bananas ever seen in Indianapolis was brought here by a male member of the Van Camp dynasty. It was hung from the chandelier in the front parlor of his home the night his daughter was married.

Eom Affairs— = Fear Rise of Red Germany

By William Philip Simms

WASHINGTON, Aug: 27—Current talks in Moscow coincide with the ninth anniversary of the Stalin-Hitler deal which gave the green 3

light to World War IL . Nine years ago this week other British and’ .

noch envoys in Moscow got the shock of ° Fras lives. After weeks of pleading with the Kremlin to join the ‘peace front” against Hite: - ler, they suddenly learned that Von Ribben~- *: trop, the Nazi foreign minister, had got. to % Molotov first and signed what amounted to an“ ge aiitanes that meant war, Hitler, they knew, :; had feared a two-front war. He had said ‘the Kaiser's biggest blunder had been to challenge the east and the west at the same time. That was why Britain and France were. so eager to line up Russia. Such an alliance : would guarantee peace. Throughout the long, hot summer the British and French envoys had beaten a ‘track to the Kremlin—much as the

, Allies are doing today—only to be tricked in 2

the end.

Prelude to World War Ii

ON AUG. 23, 1939, Ribbentrop and Molotov : signed their historic pact. Article 1 bound the . gwo countries—hated enemies up until then— not to fight each other, but it was all right with. Stalin if Hitler attacked Britain, France and the Low Countries. One week later Hitler struck, two weeks after that (Sept. 17), at 9 a. m, the Polish ambassador was summoned to the Kremlin to be told that the Russians were crossing the

Polish border. . By Sept. 28, the Russian and -

German armies had met at the ageed line midway inside the country and wiped Poland from the map. ; ; Article 1 of the Soviet-German treaty signed on that date refers to a map showing this line. Article 2 calls it the “final” frontier between Russia and Germany and warns o/hee , powers the two countries would “resist: an interference with this decision.” This Stalin-Hitler pact summarily disposing of the Polish state still brings cold chills ° to Poles and Czechs. It clearly reveals what once was in the Kremlin's mind and what could still be there, For while Russian foreign policy may zig-zag, Stalin boasts, its objectives never change. - 4

Reds Want All Germany

ALSO IT MAY have bearing on the current -/ Moscow crisis. Kremlin policy is known to be based on the idea of a Sovietized Germany. That is why Russia is trying to force the Allies out of Berlin. It wants to set up a unifled Germany whose capital would be Berlin and whose top men—like those of Czechoslo-vakia-—would take their oders m Moscow. The Kremlin aims to dominate pe. Bul | to dominate Europe it must first dominate . Germany. In a showdown, therefore, both Czechs and Poles fear Moscow again may alter existing frontiers in Germany's favor. They fear the rise of a new Germany, even if it is | under Moscow's wing. : 3 The Czechs and Poles know the Germans are capable of playing along with the Riasians for 10, 20 years or longer, watching and waiting for a chance to stage a comeback, . If the west refuses to yield in the present discussions, many expéct 8 to set up a Soviet State in his zone of Germany, declare | it to be the only valid German government and then increase its pressure on the Allies to clear out of Berlin. ! ~~ Thug the cold war would continue until
