Resources
Drain Fast as
Census Zooms
WASHINGTON The United
Stales was pictured Sunday as a
nation whose natural resources are
; being drained away at an alarm
- ing pace as the population zooms
; upward at the rate of 300 per
sons an hour.
We are mining our fields, for
ests and water resources at a sui
cidal - rate," said the Population
Reference Bureau, a private study
organization, in a new discussion
of the problem.
: . This means, the bureau said, that
i science will have to find ways to
tap the vast reservoirs of miner
" . als far below the earth's surface
and in the oceans.
The study was devoted primarily
to the problem as it affects this
country but said it was world-wide
too. The bureau said the world
cannot merely hope that future
generations will "possess the in
genuity and intelligence" to pro
Tide new sources of natural wealth
or substitutes.
"Unless technology is applied to
control the birth rate as well as
the death rate." the study declared,
"it is not likely that the world will
gain the breathing spell needed to
develop a rock-sea-water-sunlight
economy which could nurture five
billion people."
The phrase "rock - seawater
sunlight economy" was the bu
reau's picture of a future in which
man would replenish the dwindling
natural resources from minerals
deep under the earth's crust and
in the ocean and through the sun's
energy.
The bureau estimated that the
world population will double by
the year 2000, with 70,000 people
added every 24 hours. This growth,
the study added, shows little tenor
ency to stop while new processes
are being invented or perfected to
provide food and other needs."
As for the United States, the
study estimated its population,
which doubled in the first half of
this century, will reach at least
190 million persons by 1973 and
well over 200 million by the year
2000.
The government estimates the
present U.S. population at around
- ,160 million.

One driver went in and order

attendant to take care of him
while he went elsewhere on, a

other car and, the keys fitting,
drove it around in back to change
tires.
This owner found his auto mis

forced to make still another

police besides.
Cooking Saves
Soaked Geese
TULARE, Calif. Seventy
five of Claude Colston's geese
were cooked, but only as a means,
of rescuing them!
The cotton grower, of nearby
Tipton, who is using more than
200 goslings to weed his 40 acre
cotton field, found most of them
somewhat soggy and 125 of them
drowned in a recent storm which
brought .75 of an inch of rain.
'At their young age," Golston
said, "the goslings sit with 'their
heads straight up when it rains.
The water runs into their wide
nostrils and they drown."
' After a vigil by the kitchen
stove all night, the young geese
were dried out and returned to
active duty in the cotton field.

By JOHN KAMPS S
WASHINGTON (VA pubEc power spokesman Monday demand
ed assurance that government witnesses at the controversial Hells
Canyon hearing will not be muzzled by "gag rule" or fired. G. Gir
ard Davidson, attorney for opponents at a Power Commission hear
ing on Idaho Power Company's
applications to build three dams
in the Sanake River, asked as
surances that the government wit
nesses would be permitted to talk
freely.
Witnesses involved are experts
familiar with the 400 million dol
lar federal dam which has been
proposed in Hells Canyon at One
of the sites sought for Idaho Pow
er's 13-million-dollar series j of
dams on the Idaho-Oregon bord
er. .'
Davidson, former assistant secre
tary of interior under former Sec
retary Oscar Chaapman, who op
posed Idaho Power, declared: j
"We feel that before-any interior
witnesses by put on the stand the
Federal Power Commission should
see to it that they be permitted
to testify freely and not jeopar
dize their positions."
McKay Asked !
Davidson said such assurance
was requested of Secretary of i In
terior McKay, who withdrew ' his
department's opposition to the Ida
ho Power application May 5.
But he said McKay has not ire
plied to a letter written July 2 by
his (Davidson's) law partner, L. A.
Nikolric, who asked whether inter
ior witnesses would be permitted
to state their personal views on) the
site of the proposed federal .pro
ject. Idaho Power Attorney R. P. Parry
objected that the letter had no bear
in5 on the case. !
"It's material as to wheth
er we're going to be under ; gag
rule," Davidson retorted. ; ,
Presiding Examiner William J.
Costello suggested that commission
and interior lawyers get together
to see if anything could be done
to prevent possible reprisals against
witnesses.
Nikoloric said in the letter that
McKay had withdrawn as an in
tervener, offered to make interior
witnesses available and "in a June
1 speech at Portland, Ore.; ex
pressed the hope that the appli
cations field by the Idaho Power Co.
be granted."
Freedom to Talk Sought
"In view of these circumstances
we feel justified in inquiring wheth
er the position you have taken may
be assumed to be department pol
icy or whether the witnesses to
be made available will be free to
testify in accordance with their in
dividual judgements.
"Regardless of your personal
views in this matter, we assume
you will desire that the commission
have a full and complete presen
tation of the questions involved.
"We therefore hope and assume
that you will make available to the
commission all of the experts in
the department who are available
to testify concerning the proposed
high dam installation at Hells Can
yon. Let Each Have Own View
"We also hope that you will in
form each such witness that he
may testify as to his individual
convictions regardless of the sec
retary's announced position.
Power commission attorney John
Mason said he thought "possibly
Mr. Davidson is unduly alarmed."
He said the interior Department
had promised to supply information
and witnesses and it had not oc
curred to him that the witnesses
would be "under wraps or told
how to testify."
Mason said, however, "I think
we should know," one way or the
other.
Mason announced that John S.
Cotton, author of four reports which
have been supplied by interior, will
testify Tuesday morning.

DAVIS, CaliL (ff) Radioac

University of California scient

The tagged weed killers move
through the plant at rates as high
as four feet an hour, just as do
sugars manufactured in plant
leaves. By exposing the treated
plants to x-ray films in the ex
periment station here, it was
learned exactly where the radio
active chemical went. It is hoped
the experiments will disclose why
some plants are more suceptible
to weed killers than others.
