57 Canby Farmers Protest
Can by Irrigation Project
Canby, Ore., March 9 W Farmers owning more than 50 per
cent of farmland in the so-called "Canby project" today were
letting Sen. Guy Cordon, (R., Ore.), know they did not want
the government to spend $1,074,000 for an irrigation project to
cover 3700 acres of Willamette valley land.

ine senate cornnuuee on

day approved a reclamation bill
for the northwest which in
cludes the "Canby project," an
irrigation program first mapped
out 15 years ago.
Farmers were up in arms
against it because they
have put in their own deep well
irrigation system during the past
15 years.
When Senator Cordon tele
graphed the farmers asking them
If they wanted the project to go
through congress, John Rasmus

Chamber of Commerce and Neal

back:

would never use it. Why not use

really be a boon to the commu

not wanted, the house and senate
appropriations committees would
have to kill the bill. The farm
ers want the Bonneville sub

unlimited power to the district.
They estimate its cost at $100,-
000.
"We haven't found a single
farmer who wants the govern

One-Time Girl Friend of Bugsy
Siegel Is Reported Married
Chicago, March 9 0JPJ Virginia Hill, one-time girl friend of
slain gangster Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, was reported today to
have married an Austrian skiing instructor, but -they declined
to discuss it.
Bob Reilly, Sun Valley, Ida., publicist, said -Miss Hill and Hans
Hauser, a former skiing instruct
tor at the resort, were married
Nevada three weeks ago.
Hauser was registered today
in a suite at Chicago's Ambas
sador East hotel. A hotel em
ploye said his wife was with
him.
A woman who answered the
suite's telephone in response to
a request for Mrs. Hauser, an
grily snapped:
"Why don't you let me alone."
Then she hung up.
Hauser answered calls but re
fused to discuss his reported
marriage. In one call, he said,
he was "in conference." A sec
ond time he said:
"I'm sleepy. It's all In the
papers from Sun Valley."
At Sun Valley it was reported
that Hauser and Miss Hill plan
ned to return to Spokane, Wash.,
where he sells fire extinguish
ers and teaches winter sports.
(In Elko, Nev., a marriage li
cense was issued Feb. 24 to
Onie Hill, who gave her home
address as Pensacola. Fla., and
Hermann Johann Hauser of
Spokane, Wash.
(The couple was married the
same day in Elko by Justice of
Peace George R. Boucher. Un
dersheriff J. C. Harris and Toni
Mailer, a friend of Haiiser's,
witnessed the ceremony.)
Miss Hill and Hauser have
been seen together frequently in
recent months at various west
ern ski resorts. They attended
the international skiing cham
pionships at Aspen, Colo.,
friends said.
Siegel was shot to death in the
Beverly Hills mansion leased by
Miss Hill in the summer of 1947.
The murder of Siegel, reputedly
the leader of a biP west coast
gambling syndicate, has not
been solved. Miss Hill was in
Paris at the time of the slaying.
Friends here said Miss Hill
and Hauser returned to Sun Val
ley after the Aspen races and
said they were married. They
stayed a half-day at the resort
and then left.

Plane Lands on
'Belly': All Safe
Newark, N.J., March 9 (IP)
A twin-engine C-46 transport
plane with 54 persons aboard
slid 300 feet in a safe belly land
ing last night in rain and dark
ness at Newark airport.
Airport authorities said the
landing gear of the ship bound
from Miami, Fla., to Newark,
collapsed as the plane touched
the runway. Most of the 50 pas
sengers throught it was merely
a rough landing.
Streams of gasoline from
punctured tanks spewed onto
the rainswept runway as the
passengers and crew climbed
down a ladder to safety. No one
was injured, but a pregnant wo
man was taken to a hospital for
a routine checkup.
A Port of New York authority
police emergency crew brought
a ladder to the plane door, about
six feet off the ground. Passen
gers were told not to smoke be
cause of the pools of high-octane
aviation gasoline.
The lights remained on in the
big ship and there was no panic
or excitement. The American Air
transport plane was on a non
scheduled non-stop flight from
Miami.
Pilot William Averman of Mi
ami told police there had been
no indication that anything was
wrong until the wheels touched
the ground.
Then a warning horn in the
cockpit began blaring, he said,
and the gear slowly collapsed.
The plane was going about 90
miles an hour when it touched
down, airport officials estimated.
