Congressman Hill Impressed by Data on Highlands Unit Details of plans to enlarge high line unit to 30,000 acres given at luncheon; sees vineyards- “The wheel that .does the squeak ing is the wheel that gets the grease,” Congressman Knute Hill told the special committee now working on the Kennewick High Line unit. The congressman was the guest of honor at a special meet ing Wednesday noon at a lunch eon with the committee, composed of Highlanders and townsmen. Mr. Hill advised immediate action directly upon the completion of the report now in the hands of the re clamation engineers. He said that there was no possible chance for this congress to do anything about getting an appropriation, but the time to get in line was before there was anyone ahead. He said that an immediate appearance before the irrigation committee of congress would place this proposition at the head of the projects to be consider.- ed at the next session. ' The congressman was advised in detail of the plans already under way, of the soil survey that was be ing made and of the construction plans under the alternative pos sibility of being included within the Columbia Basin setup. The congressman promised the committee every aid possible, point ing out that he was ranking mem ber of the irrigation committee in the house. Mr. Hill seemed .very favorably impressed with the data submitted and when told of the ad vantages here over other sections stated that we should have no diffi culty in getting action, provided the plan had the endorsement or the reclamation department to start with. Inasmuch as this unit has already been endorsed, went ahead with the issuance of bonds with the sanction of the department head and was thereafter sidetracked for the Kit titas and Rosa units, should all have a decided bearing upon the case, 'Mr. Hill stated. Mr. Hill was taken out to see Ken newick’s new golf course and the big grape vineyards on the Highlands, returning in time to keep his speak ing appointment in the afternoon. Break All Records for Registration I All local registration records swere broken this year in this sec rtion. Two hundred eighty-four reg istrations have been made in the six outlying precincts since just be ‘fore the primary election. To date there are 1266 eligible voters in the precincts immediately surrounding town, not counting those within the city limits, where a similar increase has been noted. Biggest growth has been in the Finley district, which is also the largest precinct. The total regis trations including the new ones, by precincts, is as follows: Highlands (voting at the club house) 269; Valley (voting on Nob Hill) 250; Kennewick South (vot ing at the Valley clubhouse) 241; Finley, 272; Hover, 91 and Kenne wick Gardens (voting at the Robert son residence) 143.

Miller Scores Effort to Secure “Life Term” Talking at the Capitol Theatre in Walla Walla on October 21, Frank Miller, Republican nominee for Con gress from Washington 4th Con gressional District, scored his op ponent for campaigning for a third or “Life Term” for F. D. R. and him self. t “The party system is the safe !guarding of all free government. The shifting of a. small percentage of the vote will displace the party in power. This small percentage heretofore has been independent and free and therefore a free republic has been maintained in America. This administration though, while ren dering lip service to free elections, has sought to destroy free elections by the simple procedure of con trolling about 10 percent of the vot ing population through the medium of gifts, grants, bribes and subsist ance wage jobs,” said Miller. “And by promising to extend to, or withhold from, a portion of our peo ple the help or benefits necessary to sustain them through a political and purposely prolonged depression, this administration would compel a free people to sell their birthright and force a ”Third Term” and pos sibly a "Life Term" for themselves. “Through propaganda paid for out of the public treasury, they seek to make the people believe that this help to the unfortunate, or the “un derprivileged” as they prefer to des ignate the jobless, is not theirs by right of a recognition of the respon sibility of the government for those of its people who are in need but rather that they are gifts from the Democratic party, which would put these unfortunate people under ob ligation to the Democratic Central Campaign Committee who demand contributions and votes to square the account." ‘ KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1940.

The Oldtimer Lions in Tangle ' Over Protested Football Games May lose those won and Win one lost to Ellens burg Saturday; play Sunnyside here Friday Kennewick Lions took a heart breaking loss on the football field last Saturday night when Ellens burg nosed them out by one try for point, the». final score being 14-13. The score, however. does not nec essarily mean the loss of the game. for it was played under protest. And the reason for the score was the fact that two of Coach Coates' best linemen were removed from the lineup. Which is also the cause of the protest, by the way. Which brings on an interesting ' state of affairs. The Ellensburg team protested the playing on Jim O'Neil and Vic YKippes on the score of being over age. In the compromise, Coach Coates played with the understand ing that if either of the boys were finally proven to be eligible. the Lions would be awarded the game. While investigations are under way, Coach Coates has written the three toughest teams in the league forfeiting Kennewick’s victories in case the two boys in question are proven ineligible. This leaves an odd condition. Kennewick has won three games (and from the toughest in the league) which she will lose. The one she lost may be won. Circumstances are: During the early summer Coach Coates wrote to North Dakota for records of O’Neil's birth. Three letters brought no re ply. Finally came the answer that records for four years were search ed and no evidence appeared of the birth registration. Further com munication brought out the fact that there were two registrations of‘ the birth, instead of none. but each gave a different date for the occa- . sion. Neither of the dates corM- . pond with that given by O'Neil'si Lparents. Y According to the information from I 1 North Dakota the lad was ineligible. 1 From the parent’s information, hel was and is eligible. A very similar condition applied to the records of Kippes’ statistics. Data concem ing both cases has been submit ted to the state board for decision. The situation which burned up the local p layers, officials and fans was that the Ellensburg coach had been supplied with the evidence upon which to make the claim of ineligi bility before the season started, but produced it only three days before the game. Players, fans and every one agree that with the two men in the line Ellensburg would have. been defeated in the rather excit ing game it turned out to be. A renewed team is to battle Sun nyside F riday night. Although Sun nyside has not won any games this season, their scores range as fol lows: Ellensburg, 9-6; Wapaw. 645: Pasco 19-18, so the Lions are expect ing a fighting team this week. Orville Terril has returned from a few days business trip to Spo kane. GOP Headquarters Open Republican headquarters were opened yesterday in the building across from Penney's store. Here literature concerning the republican candidates, stickers; placards, etc. may be obtained from the attend ants. Information concerning meet ings,-rallim, etc. may also be obtain ed upon inquiry.

Dr. Schilling Conducts Meetings at Cathedral During the week from October lt -21 Dr. Frederick A.

The dean of the Cathedral was attending the general conven tion of the Episcopal church in Kansas City. and the canon had recently accepted a pastorate in an other parish.

Five different services are conducted at the ca thedral on a Sunday. besides two or three celebrations of Holy com munion during the week.
