Welch was chairman of the house public lands committee in the 80th congress and in that capacity was in position to do and did some of the dirty 'work of the Washington headquarters of the bureau. Some day, we suppose, some sort of report will be made on what the bureau has done Dut so iar appropriation was money down lnre tn thf noint will be the be made if the bill, H.R. 8650, recently introduced by another "Californian, Representative Gordon L. McDonough, becomes law. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $30,000,000 With which to build and operate demonstration plants for experimentation in producing potable water from sea water and other liquids. To tne layman tnis seems to nave possiuin ioa Southern California is desperate' for water. The only sources with any possibilities are the Colorado river ana tne Pacific ocean. Others claim the Colorado water that Cal ifornia wants and thus the ocean becomes the only sure source if . In the late war a chemical device was invented by means of which fliers downed in the ocean might strain and use sea water for drinking purposes. The southern California problem k whether the same thinir can be done on a bin scale. There would be tremendous power requirements and here atomic energy would be the answer. Given a sound and usable pro cess and Los Angeles could have water available in any de Bired quantity. ' The McDonough bill looks to the development of a sound process. . . . AT THE STATE CAPITOL A joint resolution originating in the senate in the 1947 session of the Oregon legislature authorized the board of con trol to consult experts and advise the next session what should be done to correct certain deficiencies that were said to exist in the state capitol. The experts were consulted and a report made but, as yet, nothing has been done. Perhaps nothing will be done, at least so far as enlargement of office space is concerned because the cost would be high and by now it may be recognized that with the new office building in use capitol space will be less congested. Even though nothing is done construction project it is greatly to be hoped that one or two minor improvements will be undertaken.

But thus far only five U. S. manufacturing companies have made deals for economic co-operation administration dollar conver tibility guarantees on private cap ital Investments to establish or en large their foreign production. Under the ECA act, congress specified that up to $300,000,000 could be used for guarantees on U. S. private capital investments In Marshall plan countries. Total face value of the five industrial guarantees made thus far is only $2,025,000. They are: Godfrey L. Cabot, Inc., Boston, $850,000 guarantee on construc tion of a carbon black plant in the United Kingdom. Minneapolis-Honeywell Regula tor, $300,000 guarantee for ex panding facilities of its affiliate, Honeywell-Brown, Ltd.. near Glas gow, Scotland, to manufacture temporary control instruments. Standard Brands, Inc., Hartford, Con., $100,000 guarantee on acqui sition of a minority interest in a Sheffield, England, plant to manu facture Jacobs patented drill chucks for machine tools. General Time Instruments Corp., New York. $1,000,000 guar antee for additional Investment in VV'cslclox, Ltd. ... While the five agreements made thus far have been for British films, 12 other euaranlees now being negotiated will benefit France, Austria, Italy and the Netherlands. If all 12 of the protects now under consideration are approved. It will still be no great shakes. When Marshall plan legislation was first being considered, there was much big talk by some busi ness leaders that European recov-: cry was a job for private enter prise not government. It was I claimed that it American biisi-' ncsMiien could just be turned uiose, iMirope woulil be back on its ever, or the great American tax feet in no time. I payer will go busts. Building up I he record of the first Marshall Europe's own production is the plan year, however, shows that cnlv answer.

Most Important of all, however, is an apparent lack of confidence in the European situation. Under the law, ECA is not permitted to guarantee profits to American firms investing in Europe. All that ECA guarantees is that what ever profits the investing com pany makes can be converted into U. S. dollars for repayment to the investor, up to the amount of his investment. This doesn't seem to be enough of an inducement to promote foreign investment. It Is for this reason that the house foreign affairs committee, In legislation covering second-year Marshall plan operations, pro posed stronger guarantees. They would protect American Investors in Europe against loss through seizure, confiscation or destruc tion in time of war. They would also remove the limit on the amount of foreign currency prof its convertible to U. S. dollars. One other objection which U. S. business has voiced against mak ing investments in Europe is a fear that by building up competi- uvu u utiuiruuii ui wiiti iL'an pruu-1 nets in European hranrh farlnrlns i the market for U. S. exports of the same products will be cut down. In one sense this is regarded as destroying American jobs taking i work away from American labor, j I ins Is true as far as it goes, but it is not the whole picture. The other part of the; picture Is that if European production for self-sufficiency and reduction of trade deficits are not encouraged, the United Stales, will have to go on pouring out billions of dollars for the food, raw materials and manufactured goods now being given away under the Marshall plan. Any sane appraisal of this situa tion must show that this kind of finanri;il (Irjlill ran'i tf nn f,- Making of Atomic Bomb Parts Upped New York, April 1-dPi A high atomic official disclosed Thurs day that manufacture of atomic bomb parts has been stepped up and decentralized for security purposes.

McCormack said that the scien tific laboratory at Los Alamos, N. M., no longer is the sole site of atomic bomb manufacture. It still is the place where bombs are assembled, but bomb parts, Mc Cormack revealed, are now being made at other places. McCormack did not identify the facilities where bomb parts are being fabricated.

STUDEMTS, AT iriSTVDlJ I MfRE'S TO MANY . CN TOP THAT HAPPY AfHRMOONSJ LhRDl ' ' Washington Scene By Barman V. Nichols (United Press Staff Correniiondelit) , Washington, April 1 UK The loye bird comes to America to make love to another love bird. Or maybe coo a little in some body's living room. Certainly not to spread a lot of bugs around, as alleged. All that takes a bit of explain ing. The love bird, which makes Its home in Africa and South Ameri ca, comes under the classification of "psittacine" birds. Along with the parrot, the amazons, the Mex ican double head, cockatoo, ma caw, lories and a few others. As bf now, it is supposed to be against the law to ship them across a state line or bring them In from other countries. The professional breeders are raising cain. One claims she is losing $8,000 to $10,000 a year. All of this prompted Rep. Nor ris Poulson, R., of California, an old psittacine lover himself, to get exercised enough to Introduce H.B. 3654. It's a bill that would "forbid the imposition of certain conditions on the interstate or foreign transportation of psitta cine birds." In other Words, let the birds come and go as they please, or ship 'em where you will. Being a lover of love birds, this sent me hustling to the congress man's office to look through his mail. Fresh In my mind was a recent story from Munich. About the nazl parrot some wag had taught to say "Hell, Hitler!" The zoo people over there still are trying to cure the rascal. Not to mention the elephant in hearing distance which hoists her trunk in salute every time polly opens her beak. That polly is a psittacine, same as other pollys, which is probably be side the point. Well, looking through the con gressman's mail sack it became clear there was a pro and con. Some argued the birds import ed into this country brought along a lot of bugs in their tail feathers which spread, among other things, the flu and grippe. Dr. E. T. Martin, president of the California bird breeders and dealers, came out with a report that, he said, would bat the bug report down. He said he could name names and cite cases. From 1938 to 194G, he said, only 13 cases of parrot or love-bird inspired "psittacosis" (that's what they call it) had been reported among humans in his state. Violet A. Watson of Los An geles, wrote to Cong. Poulson, with another argument. She said she breeds the birds and lias lost $8,000 In the last year and stands to, lose-a lot more real quick If she can't ship what she has. Not only that, she is running out of room to keep the birds she has. "Besides," she said, "a lot of 'em have learned to talk back it's awful!" NOW. VOU LUCKY PEOPLE i URO SWIM SlNGlMG A uilll CM TITLED Never CAME i Warne Backs Use Of Surplus Water Riverside, Calif., April 1 IP - A cciclant cunrntufu nf IntnHnK William E. Warne advocates thea Bonneville spokesman said to- future use xof surplus western waters on a "westwlde" basis. I think that we can supply the water needs of any populous area as they arise 20, 30 or even 100 years from now," if plans are made for transferring surplus waters from one river basin to another and for using sea water, he said. Warne yesterday told the Ri verside County National Farm Loan association "the costs of the needed works in the future will be great," but if they are broad ly spread, they should not be in tolerable." ' He said that "perhaps" atomic energy will increase the potenti alities of transferring purified sea water to western communi ties and farms. One manufacturer claims to be able to produce puri fied sea water at $180 per acre foot and less if a market for by products is found, he said. Warne said he "visualizes" the transfer of surplus water to southern California from streams farther north and ultimately from the Columbia river. That river, he said, discharges enough water to the sea to irri gate more than twice the land now under irrigation in the 17 western dryland or semi-arid states.
