Wafer Resources Committee Unveals Policy For Forthcoming Survey The Douglas County Water Re sources Advisory Committee Mon day unvicled Its water policy for the upcoming survey in which It will coopcrato with the State Wa ter Resources Board. The seven members of the ex ecutive board of the county-wide committee met to study the polity at the Douglas Counly Courthouse. They found it good. II Is preceded by preamble complied by the President's Wa ter Resources Policy Commission in 1950. The preamble, according to the county advisory board, points up that use and control of the waters of the Umpqua basin must be planned basin-wide. The county policy - making sub committee pointed out that special interest groups and sub-districts of the basin are represented on the advisory committee to assure that all sides of the problem will receive atlonlion. mil, it must ne recognized, tho policymakers said, that to assure maximum useful ness of the water, provisions for every legitimate use and for pro tecting the watershed and stream channel, and provisions lor con serving water and for flood con trol should he brought into one general basin plan. The nolicv men said all these can be considered to have "legiti mate claims " within the hasin: Irrigation and drainage, naviga tion and flood control, mainten ance of underground water levels, control of stream pollution and soil erosion, generation of electric power, protection of salmon and other fish resources and provision of implo domestic water supply. But one cannot he developed with out regard to tho others, the com mittee said. The policy submitted by the po licy subcommittee and approved by tho executive board Is divided into two major parts, supply of water and flood control. The first is the most extensively outlined. It calls for the county water resources advisory commit tee to work with the Oregon Water Resources Board and all other agencies to plan and prepare pro grams to assure ground and sur face water in adequate quantity and quality for: (1) Municipal, domestic and livestock use; (2) protection and propagation of fish and other aquatic life; (3) irriga tion; (4) Industry; ( 5) recreation; BIRTHS i (6) other uses in accordinance wilh Oregon laws and the Water Resources Act. The policy says these ends may be attained this way: 1. By establishing minimum flows that should be maintained in all streams to dilute sewage and industrial wastes, safeguard fiublic health, maintain aquatic ife. . 2. By setting minimum stand ards of water quality that must be maintained in all streams to protect public health and aquatic me ana to serve all lorsceabie useful needs. 3. By encouraging protection and mprovement of watersheds and reduction of wathershed abuse. , 4. By encouraging effective con trol of pollution and sedimentation. S. Bv giving full consideration to the need for keeping free of anv obstructions an streams that are used for spawning by trout and anadromous fish. (Those which as cend rivers from the sea season ally). 6. By planning for water stor age to augment supplies when needed. The second major section of the policy calls for continual planning for flood control. Members of the policy subcom mittee were: Chairman Curtis T. Beecher, Bernard Young, J. Ro land Parker and G. L.

He had several inings to say about his political future this year. He said the response to his can didacy had been "pretty good" in the areas of tne state ne nas visited. He also said he intended to "see as many people as possible this summer." He laughingly said he thought he had found the key to election to the governor's office. He said former Gov. Douglas Mc Kay had been chairman of t h o Roads and Highways in the state senate. McKay had then been fol lowed by ex-Gov. Paul Patterson, who in turn was followed ny smun. When asked by one reporter if he was surprised at Walter Nor- blad's withdrawal from the gov ernor's race, he said he was sur prised when the U. S. representa tive filed "so auicklv" and "just as surprised" when he withdrew. He also had a comment on an other political figure, Al Richard son of Slayton, who has announced his candidacy for state treasurer. Richardson had charged that state institutions were guilty of graft and mismanagement. Smith called the charges politics which can be regarded as "highly libelous." Oov.

Logging WASHINGTON Wl The Nation al Labor Relations Board has ruled against the Firchau Bros. Logging Co. of Reedsport in a labor dispute with the international wooaworx ers of America. The NLRB Monday dismissed un fair labor charges the logging com pany had filed against tne union. The company contended that the Woodworkers and a union agent William Harris, had induced em ployes of the Long - Bell Lum ber Co. in Reedsport not to process Firchau logs delivered to the mill. Union members voted not to handle the logs after the union failed to organize the Firchau od eration and declared logs from t" t firm "unfair." This was permitt.'d under the "hot cargo" clause of the 1WA contract with Long-Bell. After a hearing trial examiner Howard Meyers issued a prelim inary decision last June that Fir chau's charges had not been prov en. The NLRB reviewed the case and upheld the earlier finding. are still years behind. In 1947, it was estimated 750 million dollars would be necessary to complete the modernisation. "We will always be three to five years be hind," he concluded, because of technological advances in highway vehicles.

I would oppose any tax which did not affect income. If i sales tax is adopted, relief. Smith thinks, should go to those with in comes under $5,000. He also re lated that he hopes some income tax relief wiH come, but he cannot say what the 1957 Legislature will do on the matter of taxes. (He had previously been quoted in Prineville of saying he expected to see passage of a sales tax in the next Legislature.) About the name Elmo He was the fourth of nine children, and at his birth, hi-s mother named him Elmo to help him "escape utter obscurity." 18-Year-Old Vote Youths should not be "part-time citizens," he said. If they are allowed to vole, they should be eligible for lawsuits and taxes as well. Smith concluded. Cov.
