Millions Sought
By Roosevelt for
Missouri Valley
Washington, March 20 Hl'i
President Roosevelt .asked con
gress today to appropriate $4,480,-
000 for the preparation of plans
by the interior department for de
velopment of the Missouri river
valley.
The president explained that
the estimate included funds "only
' lor the work preliminary to ac
tual construction ot projects ana
. must be performed irrespective of
whether construction of the proj
ects in the basin is accomplished
by a valley authority or other
agencies."
"In my judgment," he said, "the
proposed work will not interfere
with the conduct of the war." ,
Part of Program
The president's request was
part of his long range program to
divide the country into seven basic
watersheds and have in each an
operating authority along lines of
the Tennessee valley authority.
The president said provisions
were being made In the war de
partment civil appropriation act
to enable the army engineers to
prepare detailed plans and specifi
cations for its share of the project
"as authorized by the 1944 flood
control act.
The act authorized carrying out
the Pick plan of the- army engi
neers and the Sloan plan of the
bureau of reclamation as coordi-1
nated by the two agencies.
The president previously asked
' congress to give early considera
tion to the creation of a Missouri
valley authority. Bills on the sub
ject are pending in congress.
Estimate Submitted

Smith recommended the estimate
to the president. He said mapping,
stream gauging, and other field I

Brake Testing
Campaign Due
In an effort to reduce traffic ac
cidents and to presei-ve automo
biles, police throughout the na
tion soon will conduct a brake-
testing campaign, it was revealed
here , todav with the return to
Bend of local officials who attend
ed a traffic safety meeting in
Portland. Chief of Police Ken C.
Gulick, Sheriff Claude L. Mc
Cauley, Justice of the Peace Wil
son George and District Attorney
A. J. Moore, Bend, and Chief of
Police Jess Edgar of Redmond, at
tended the conference.
According to the officials, the
brake-testing campaign will be
conducted between April 15 and
June 1. All cars suspected of
faulty brakes will be tested, and
citations will be issued where traf
fic regulations have been violated,
Chief Gulick stated.
In an effort to induce motorists
to have their brakes tested and
adjusted before that date, the of
ficials have adopted a slogan,
"You're only a foot from trouble
check your brakes."
Mouse-sized short-tailed shrews,
more or less common in the
United States live on insects, and
on field mice if insects are not
plentiful; in a shortage of both
they eat their companion shrews.
Wave Enlistment '
To Be Increased
Enlistment of Waves in Oregon
will be nearly double what they
have been for the past three
months as the result of the as
signment by the navy of in
creased quotas for the state, an
nounces Chief Specialist Paul
Connet of the Central Oregon
navy recruiting station, Bend,
which handles Wave application
in this area.
After sharp curtailment of
Wave recruiting in the past three
months, during which only a
small number was enlisted each
week in the 13th naval district,
enlistment programs have been
stepped up here to meet the new
demands for feminine blue
jackets.. Increased assignments to over
seas duty for hundreds of Waves
have brought a need for more
trained young women to take
their jobs in this country. A Wave
must serve for six months in the
U. S. with a perfect record before j
she is eligible for overseas duty
