Straus reported today thai the bureau ol reclamation hit its lull post-war stride in multiple purpose, basin wide construction during iiscal 1949. In his annual report to Secre tary of interior Oscar L. Chap man, Straus said that fiscal 1949 saw the bureau take the bigges'. steps in its 47-year history in the development of irrigation pro jects. Also the bureau's power de velopments enabled It to market 18,250,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity during the year. By the end of fiscal 1949, Straus said, the bureau was supplying irrigation water to 5,380,000 acres of arid and semi-arid land in the 17 western states. The progress made during the year, he added, was an attempt to catch up to the rising water needs of the ex panding western population. Challenge Soen "The water needs of increased population and industrial expan sion in the west presented greater challenge to the bureau during 1949 than ever before to render the type of water and power service! contemplated by the federal reclamation laws," he said. "Reclamation was able to meet this challenge with a pro gram of activities 48 per cent larger than the previous year. "The bureau in 1949 reached the halfway mark in foreseeable development ot irrigation, Straus said. "This was accom panied by extensive related hy droelectric power and other re lated water resource features. The area irrigated was increased 213,232 acres (during 1919). In stalled capacity of hydroelectric power was Increased 263,000 kilo watts to a total of 2,757,400 kilo watts and output for the fiscal year rose to 18,250,000,000 kilo watt hours." Program Outlined Straus said the bureau plans a seven-year program extending through 1956, under which "the svsorsiH or annual ktithment For the rar Mulct llei-rmlwr 81. 1019 or tin- Wil Gout Lira Insurance -Company of Hon r'ranilwn.

Also under this program the installed hydroelectric generating capacity would be increased by 2,474,000 kilowatts. Straus emphasized in his re port that this is not a "gift" to the west. "Federal reclamation not only pays its own way," he said, "hut brings substantial returns on the Investment made. Crops valued at $534,623,541 were produced in 1948 on 60 reclamation projects or divisions of projects. The cu mulative value of these crops since 1906 exceeds $6,000,000,000, more than four times the total reclamation investment to date." Straus pointed-out that power revenues brought the treasury some $32,000,000 during the fis cal year. IlighllgliiM Given Other highlights of the report: The bureau embarked on an all-time record construction pro gram, 'costing $250,000,000.

Woodworkers Plan Strike Vote Portland. April 3 ill1) Strike ballots were being sent today from the CIO International Woodworkers of America head quarters here to locals in five northwestern states. Union headquarters said a .strike would affect 40.000 Pacific northwest woodworkers. The strike ballot was voted Saturday by 200 delegates to the union's wage and contract con ference. Deadlines for strike ac tion was May 1.5 and balloting was expected to be completed by April 30. Union demands include a health and welfare program and six paid holidays. They were drawn up at a conference here early in January. Contract negotiations started Keb, 20. The health and welfare plan demanded by the union calls for an employer-paid $3,000 life in surance and payments for on and off-lhe-job injuries. NO LOCAL CO.MMENT The local IVVA-CIO office had "no comment' 'today on the strike vote, and reported that ballots had nol been received up to noon today. It was indicated that Wil fred A. Fordham. business agent for local No. 7, would issue a statement when the ballots ar rive in Bend. In the event that the strike vote should carry by a simple majority in the Pacific northwest, the local union would be obliged to go along with the decision, re gardless of the result of the lo cal vote. 8YNOlS,H OF ANXI'AI.

Communists Lose Ground in France Paris, April 3 UP Communist officials admitted today that their party is losing ground in France and passed down the word to do something about it. The bad news, from the com munist standpoint, was given at the parly's first national con gress in three years. The meet ing was pitched on the theme, "fight for peace." The secretary general from the Couches du Rhone department said: "It is in the factories that the struggle for peace can best be carried out. But in my depart ment the situation is far from good. In 1948 we had 425 cells. Today only 379 exist. "The cells organized by sailors in Marseille have disappeared completely. If we continue like this we will become a social dem- 1 ocratic party."
