Bids for Highway
Work Open Soon
Bids for grading of the final
section of the new Ochoco high
way over the divide between
Prineville and Mitchell will be
called in the near future, and it
now appears certain that by the
time snow flies late this fall the
grade work will be completed.
Bids for this final link, east of
the Ochbco summit in Wheeler
county, will-be called by the state
highway commission at its June
or July meeting, in Portland, it
was learned here today.
Two grading jobs are under
way within the Ochoco national
forest. One of the units is about
seven miles in length and the
other three miles. This work is
being supervised by the bureau
of public roads.
State Highway Job
The final link east of the di
vide will be a state highway job
and will join the grade with a
section up Taylor creek con
structed prior to the war. Only
part of the new route so far oiled
is that extending from Prineville
up Ochoco creek to Marks creek.
The grade reaches up Marks
creek to the summit. When com
pleted, the new highway will
provide a crossing of the Ochoco
mountains lower than the present
pass, and also will eliminate the
winding grade now in use.
The new route of the Ochoco
is west of the present road.

"Smear" Attack on National
Reclamation Board Charged
Robert W. Sawyer, Bend pub

gon state director for the Nation
al Reclamation association, today
attacked what he called the
"smear" tactics employed by Rep
Henry Jackson, Dem., Wash.
Rep, Jackson was quoted in a
press dispatch from Washington
today as charging, in a letter to
NRA President Harry E. Polk,
that "almost 70 per cent of the in
come of the association" came
from private utility companies
and railroads.
Sawyer's statement follows:
"There are 17 states with repre
sentation in the National Recla
mation association. Preceding the
annual association conventions
the' directors of each state hold
pre-convention meetings and set
the budget for the ensuing year.
The -amount budgeted for -each'
state is in relation to its interest
in reclamation. Then it is the job
of the state director to raise that
sum in his state.

He added, however, that be
cause of the continuing building

serve on the board again if the
people wish it. At the present
time Dr. Winslow is chairman of

The case of the infiltrating red

Neuner Holds
CV A Affects
State Rights
Salem, June 3 Hl'i Attorney
general George Neuner today ex
pressed the opinion that the' pro
posed Columbia valley authority
bill now before, congress would
supersede all state laws relating
to the use of water except those
relating to irrigation.
In an opinion written for State
engineer Charles A. Strlcklin,
Neuner saiil state laws relating
to use of water from streams in
Oregon for power development
would be set aside by the pro
posed CVA, Neuner said.
"It is significant to note that
section 10 (Al of the present pro
posed act is placed therein under
the subject 'reclamation provis
ions.' Such fact is significant be
cause it undoubtedly would be
construed to relate only to state
laws pertinent to the reclamation
of lands. This, we take it, would
not Include use for the develop
ment ol electric energy. '.
Tho attorney general added:
"There are many provisions of
this proposed legislation which, In
our opinion, leave the way open
for the supersedure of the water
laws of this state.
Neuner called Strlcklin's atten
tion to an opinion written by his
office in 1946 in which he recom
mended inclusion of a saving
clause in the CVA act to protect
the interests or the several states
involved. The saving clause he
proposed at that time read:
"No provision of tills act shall
be construed as affecting or in
tending to aftect or to in any way
interfere with the laws of any
state relating to the control, ap
propriation, use or distribution of
water, and in the administration
of this act the Columbia valley
authority shall proceed in con?
formity with and in subordination
to the iaws of the respective states
in which its activities may be eon
ducted, relating to the control, ap
propriation, use or distribution of
water."

of the men managed to reach the
guard making the rounds of the
cell block. Once he was overpow
