for meritorious achievement in
12 flights over North Korea.
Lint told reporters:
"They're fixing me up fine
I'm going to have some artificial
hands that really work, and
some new ears. And my eyes are
okay now. That Isn't all. My girl

He told the Columbia Basin
Inter-Agency Committee that a
recent snow survey by the
Weather Bureau and Soil Con

the water runoff through the
coming year will be within 10

That would mean, he said,
that the Northwest probably
could get by with water-generated
