Hit OREGON STATESMAN; Safest, Oregon, Friday Horning; January 28, 1940 PAGE THIIEE Fann Migrant Plan Studied Ickes Recommends Lasting Federal Aid for Workers WASHINGTON. Jan. J5.-fly-A "permanent" federal aid pro cram for the thousand! of farm migrants from dust bowla and droucht areas was recommended to congress today by Secretary Icfcea. The cabinet member proposed expenditure of $24,000,000 dor Ins; the next fire years In 14 western states on small water conserratlon projects, and from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 an nually on larger reclamation and Irrigation projects of the type of the Grand Coulee dam. The Ickes proposals were dis closed when Senator Norrls (Ind Neb) placed In the congressional record an exchange of letters be tween the cabinet member and Senator Hayden (D-Arix). adro cate of Irrigation and water con serration projects. Hayden said he expected that Ickes would seek funds to carry out his proposals In the annual Interior department appropriation requests for the reclamation bureau. The Ickes proposals were In re sponse to Hayden'a request for a long range program to aid the thousands of farm families who haye suffered from recurrent droughts on the great plains and in other regions. The Arizona senator said he sought "not Just a patllatlre. but a start on a permanent cure." Ickes replied there were two phases to the problem: "First, anchoring In so far as possible the remaining popula tion in the drought area, and this can be accomplished in part through Irrigation developments: "And, second, that of proYid Ing opportunities for the rooting In new soil of the people wbo hare drifted to the far western states from other areas, and this can be achieved in part by the completion of Irrigation projects to utilize the water resources as yet unconserred in those states." For the "anchoring" program, the secretary suggested small water conservation projects In these 14 states: Arizona, Colo rado. Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Da kota. Oregon. Oklahoma. South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming. The sums listed for northwest states were: Idaho 25,000 acres. $1,200,000; Oregon. 46,000 acres. $1,500,000; Montana, 32,291 acres, $2,000,000. Hayden said the great plains and dust bowl area experienced "the most severe autumn drought In recorded history." Ickes, after recalling recent drought years, warned that "there are several reasons to fear that the worst has not jet been experienced," Ickes outlined "small water conservation" projects In the western states which he said would require government grants for construction and could not be expected to return total costs.

Authorities also said that three ships of s Latin-American nation, long suspected of having supplied the German pocket battleship Ad miral Graf Spee with oil snd food, had been out of port for several days. Britain's refusal to recognize the 300-mile neutrality belt set up by the Americas was believed to have encouraged Germany to do likewise. Destruction of the Graf Spee and the return of the raider Deutschland to Germany for refitting and renaming was also believed to have prompted the plan. Tourists recently returned from Curacao say some German residents there are aware of the Bcheme and have predicted pri vately that neutral and allied shipping would be staggered with attacks set for the near future. Many British ships have con tinued running between New York and South' American and West Indies ports. The speedy tender ship accom panying the submarines was de scribed as a twin-screw, S504-ton vessel owned by the German gov ernment and operated by the Hamburg-American line in peace time. She is believed to be armed. Labor Acts Held Not Party Issue SEATTLE, Jan. 25-A)-Mem-bers of the King county republi can executive committee today notified the Women of Washing ton, co-sponsors in 1938 of ini tiative 130, that "if you submit any labor measure at the coining elections our organization will op pose It openly." The letter, signed by Chairman Ralph A. Horr, all county organ ization officers and executive committeemen, was sent to Mrs. Hazel Hillyard, executive secre tary of the women's organization. It cited reports that the organiza tion again intended to submit' sn initiative measure for labor re striction. "We are decidedly of the opin ion that labor legislation or any other legislation affecting groups has no part in partisan elections," the open communication said. "It merely tends to confuse the main issues and oftentimes causes groups to align themselves with parties regardless of other mat ters involved." Officials Scorn Paper Mill Suit BELLINGHAM, Jan. 25-(tfV Ossian Anderson, president of the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber company, issued s statement to stockholders deprecating the $2,- 125,000 damage suit filed against the company by the Pioneer Oy ster company.
