Twelve years ago the legislature
asked the reclamation bureau to
survey irrigation possibilities In
the Rogue river basin. The im
pulse came from Grants Pass
which saw its farming progress
cVwrf rfnwn throueh lack, of
water. First proposed were sur
veys of tributaries such as Grave
creek but the t udy was broadened
to include the whole Rogue basin.
The reclamation : bureau has
worked in the intervening years
makin studies of water supplies.
Irrigable lands, power and flood
control possibilities and effects on
fish. It came out with a report
which offered two plans. Plan A
giving the maximum in irrigation
and flood control possibilities and
Plan B with- reduced economic
-values but one which kept dams
off the main river. The latter
plan wia favored by wildlif e
groups, the former by farmers and
business interests. i
Hearlnes merely opened up the
controversy. .Then last year the
Interior department put the whole
program on Ice pending further
studies of effects of development
on the fish. The real background
was that while the reclamation
bureau was strongly in favor of
Plan A the secretary of the Inte
rior (whose department includes
both the fish and wild life divi-
slon as well as the reclamation
' bureau) was influenced by the ap
peals , of sportsmen and recrea
tionists and wasn't willing to sup
port Plan A.
. This explains why- the Rogue
River Irrigation association which
has - supported maximum, lrriga
tion. power and flood control de
velopment (Plan A) last week
suddenly reversed itself and agreed
to accept a modified plan which
drops the highly ' controversial
Lewis creek dam, the key to water
storage and flood control, which
according to Charlie Stanton of the
Roseburg News-Review would
have ruined one of the principal
spawning areas of the river. ,
- What gives present impetus to
the compromise is the report that

Call-Up
Washington; sept 10 -m-
The army plans to levy, upon na
tional guardsmen and regular
units in this country in order to
bring home before this coming
winter "all personnel who endur
ed the bitter combat conditions' in
Korea last winter." : ; i : t
Gen. . Lawton Collins, army
chief of staff, said "the require
ment for rotation of men from
overseas was t an 'overriding
need." I - : - ,
The general's ipolicy was out
lined in a letter to Senator Dwor
shaic (R-Idaho). The senator had
protested" the calling up of indi
vidual Idaho national guardsmen
as combat replacements. ,
"It is necessary." Gen. Collins
said, "for the army to continue to
levy upon national guard units and
regular army, units in the United
States in order to carry out a rea
sonable program for rotation of
those men who have fought
through last winter's campaign."
The rotation plan, the general
said, "is a currently requiring re
placement of some 30,000 men and
officers each month. I don t think
anyone will dispute the urgency
of this need."
Meanwhile, Senator O'Mahoney
(D-wyo) said he believed that un
less another world war breaks out,
the armed services won't call back
any more reservists with a year's
service in World War II.

Residential
Arouse Council
r By Robert E. Gangware
aty Editor. The Statesman ?
An angered city council Mondai
night told its city administration
to take immediate steps to prevent
Salem residential streets from be-
coming speedways.
Several aldermen declared the
only solution lies in stricter en-
orcement of traffic laws than re
cent reports indicated to them, end
every indication was given of an
impending police crackdown - on
traffic violators. . :
Specifically, the city I manager
was; instructed by Mayor Alfred
Loucks to outline in detail the!
aldermen's 1 sentiments " to Police
Chief Clyde A. "Warren, who was
not present at the meeting. .
"And there is no doubt in my
mind as to what the. chief will
do," asserted the mayor within;
minutes of City Manager Franzen's
statement that :we'd have 1 to
clamp down hard, and if you like,
we'll do it" ; ; i
Action Deferred, .
With traffic and parking prob
lems, plus three -public hearings:
adding up to a four-hour council
meeting at city-hall last night the
aldermen- deferred their final . ac4
tion on Hollywood off-street park
ing, a new sidewalk ordinance and
measure to license fund raising
solicitations. . - 1
Two citizens' complaints led to
the speeding clampdown talk last
night Fred Williams told aldermen
that "hotrods" were "making 24th
street a speedway between State;
and Center streets. Charles Jens,1
with a similar cry of speeding,
said "the kids just don't have a
chance on Thompson avenue be
tween Center and D streets.
Reports Made ,
Out of the traffic discussion
came these reports:
Salem traffic . accidents so . far
this year number about the same
(1,700) as for the same period of
last year, but arrests for traffic
violations are this year only about
half (600 to 1,300).
Alderman Albert Gille's sugges
tion that volunteer1 citizens . spot
trafic violations and appear in
court against offenders was coun
tered by city attorney's statement
that state law requires a uni
formed officer to make arrests but
private citizens at any time may
swear out complaints against law!
violators. .
Dave Hoss has resigned from
chairmanship of the Salem traffleJ
safety council, and Mayor Loucks
intends to revamp the council,
probably as a' smaller group. The
mayor commended the work done
in the past two years by Hoss'
council.... .; ;' '"'" .
Other speeding complaints were
brought by "eorge Emigh and
Mrs. W. C Dyer, jr., regarding
Chemeketa street at the intersec
tions of 12th and 13th. The coun
cil ordered resolutions prepared to
place stop signs to halt traffic en
tering Chemeketa xrom both num
bered streets, and Alderman Dan
iel J.Hry suggested that the tiai
fic safety commission draft an ar
terial street plan with just such
intersections in mind.
