Illimi
Wickiup Fissures
Being Sealed
By Work Crew
Work of sealing leaks that de
veloped in Wickiup reservoir this
past storage season is now well
under way, as the level of, the
huge man-made lake of the up
per Deschutes slowly lowers, ac
cording to information from the
bureau of reclamation office ln
Bend. This morning, the reservoir
level was near the 100,000 mark.
Capacity of the basin is 180,000
acre feet.
At present, a crew of 15 men
is on the job sealing one of the
leaks that have appeared in three
different zones near the base of
Davis mountain. In sealing the
cracks, top soil is stripped away,
until the fissures in the under
lying rocks are exposed.' Rocks
are placed tn tnese fissures, and
on top of this base, gravel arid
sand is packed. Eventually, a
thick, Impervious layer of old
lake bed soil will be placed on
top of the base layers. Prelimi
nary tests have demonstrated
that this treatment will effective
ly seal the leaks, and the only
fear held by engineers is that
other cracks may develop, requir
ing further work.
Studies Zone
This past week, the leak zones
ln the reservoir basin were stud
ied by C. J. Oekson, regional ge
ologist for the bureau of recla
mation. In one of the zones from
which overlying soil had been
removed, the geologist was low
ered Into a deep fissure. The ge
ologist ascertained that the fis
sure consists of a fault, one side
being lower than the other. This
fault apparently reaches toward
Davis mountain. When water was
being lost earlier in the season,
it appeared as if the flow was
toward the volcanic butte. Engi
neers believe that it is possible
that the fault occurred In the era
when cinder cones were forming
In the region. Later, these faults
were covered by lake sediments,
following a blockade of the De
chutes by a lava flow. In one of
the Wickiup fissures, a tape line
was dropped 70 feet Into the
earth.
Although handicapped by limi
tations on the amount of force
account funds that can be used
in the work, bureau engineers
hope to seal the reservoir leaks
in the present season, while stor
age is at a minimum.

UN 'Bombing'
Note Found Near Spot

Man Sought in 1 3 States
GIVES SELF UP
New Haven, Conn., July 23 IP
Stephen .1. Supina, 36 year-old
war veteran surrendered here
today and said he "bombed" the
United Nations at Lake Success,
N.Y., yesterday because he was
"not satisfied the way the UN
has been treating the Palestine
and Russian situation."
Lake Success, N.Y., July 23 IP)
An army air force veteran who
dropped a "bomb" on the United
Nations yesterday, included a
note demanding peace, police dis
closed today as they continued
to search for him.
Police said the note, found in
the underbrush near the spot
where the "bomb" landed, was ad
dressed to "the assembly of the
United Nations," and was signed
by the veteran, Stephen J. Supina,
36, of Stafford Springs, Conn.
ine note was written In red Ink
across the top of Suplna's army
discharge papers. Although It was
only 30 words in length, police
declined to give its exact contents.
They said Supina said he did not
want another war and wished the
United Nations to work for peace.
Search Area
While a 13-state alarm was
broadcast for Supina, a former
B-17 turret gunner, Lake Sue
cess emergency squad police
made an exhaustive, all night
search in the area where the
"bomb" was dropped.
bupina s discharge papers
showed that he served with the
331st bombing squadron and had
won the air medal with five oak
leaf clusters. Most of his service.
it previously was reported, was
in the European, African and mid
dle eastern theaters.
. Police found relatives of Supina
in New York who said the veteran
visited them shortly after landing
his borrowed red and yellow Aer
onca plane at La Guardia field. He
was reported to have told them
that the "bomb" was a stick of
dynamite.
Supina left the home of his' rel
atives before police arrived, and
the search for him was being con
centrated in the city.
After making an illegal down
wind landing at La Guardia field,
Supina told attendants that he
wanted to refuel but had to tele
phone home for money to buy
gasoline.

"Gentlemen; I don't want this

Mrs. Hatch said she never re

was thinking about this last week
when she was sitting at the
switchboard. It was a hot night.
The lines were busy. She was
thinking how nice it would be at
home on her cool front porch.
"So," she said, her eyes twlnk
