the main stem stream was not
expected to flood:
The Santiam River at Jeffer
son rose nearly seven feet in 24
hours and was expected to
crest a foot and a half over
Hood stage this afternoon.
More rain was forecast tonight
on the heels of a storm that
brought nearly an inch in 24
hours to several areas. Snow
fell at higher elevations, with a
loot reported overnight at Toll
gate in the Blue Mountains.
There were 30 inches on the
ground at Timberline Lodge on
Mt. Hood.
Gusty winds accompanied
Thursday's rain with the Coast

MOSCOW (UPI) Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev, appar
ently buoyed by the public de
but of Russia's "stratospheric

dicted that the Soviet Union
will become the No. 1 country

Printers return
after meeting'
NEW YORK (UPH - With
their 24-hour "meeting" finally
adjourned, some 5,000 union
printers returned to their jobs
today after a work stoppage
that cost them $175,000, accord
ing to owners of the city's 600
commercial print shops.
Bertram A. Powers, president
of Local 6. International Typo
graphical Union, cailed the all
day meeting Thursday a protest
of the alleged refusal of em
ployers to negotiate a new con
tract. The employers say the union
wants capitulation, not negotia
tion, on "impossible" demands
they claim will mean the "slow
death" of the city's remaining
printing industry.
Powers said the meeting
Thursday had shown support
for his bargaining policy that
was almost unanimous.
The affected shops kept open
their press rooms, binding de
partments and shipping depart
ments, according to the Print
ers League section of the Print
ing Industries of Metropolitan

Bend city fire crews last
night spent nearly six hours
fighting a fire that spread
through sawdust and threatened
farm buildings on property east
of Highway 97, near the Des
chutes Junction.
Wind - whipped flames spread
over two to three acres, fire
men said, necessitating the call
ing of three pieces of equip
ment, five regular firemen and
several volunteers. The fire
burned through the area of an
old sawdust mill and kept crews
busy until 2:30 this morning.
At mid - afternoon Thursday
crews were called to Dyer's Au

nue, where an electric short in
a car under repair started a
fire under its hood. The car suf
fered extensive damage, fire
men said.
A power pole at the end of

Thursday afternoon and caught
fire. Crews pumped water on
the pole until PP&L workmen
arrived.
Another afternoon alarm
Thursday brought firemen to
the Baptist Church at Irving

were reported. The fumes were
attributed to an over-warm fur

In wheat deal
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Secre-
tary of State Dean Rusk said
today that "some progress has
been made" in negotiations to
sell American wheat to the So
viet Union. But he said he did
not know whether a deal would
be completed.
Asked at a news conference
why there was so much "secre
cy" surrounding the talks here,
Rusk said there was "a cer
tain amount of bargaining" go
ing on and it is "not in our in
terest to disclose the details."
Rusk joked to newsmen that
he would be glad to tell them
the details "if you would not
tell the Soviet Union.
Rusk said American and So
viet negotiators were meeting
again today on the proposed
$250 million sale. He said he
could not go into further de
tails at this time.
Rusk's comments on the
wheat deal came amid indica
tions here and in Moscow that
the stalled negotiations were
moving again.
President Kennedy conferred
with his advisers Thursday
about the wheat sale negotia
tions. Administration officials
said the talks were making
progress again after weeks of
deadlock over shipping rates.

Clear jurisdiction sought
from Congress on water
By Phil F. Brogan
Bulletin Stiff Wrlt.r
The Oregon Reclamation Con
gress at its concluding session
of its 1963 meeting here today
unanimously approved a resolu
tion calling on Congress "to en
act a law so clear and unam
biguous as to be incapable of
evasion" that would give a
state Die right to make the fi
nal decision relative to the use
of its water.
Later in the morning, the
group elected Jack Hoffbuhr,
Medford, president, with Ben
Evick, Madras, named vice
president. LaSelle Coles, Prine
ville. was the choice for Nation
al Reclamation Association di
rector. Paul House, Nyssa, was
reelected treasurer, and Myron
Shearer, Corvallis, secretary.
It was noted that "certain de
cisions of the United States Su
preme Court have cast a cloud
over the sovereignty of the
State of Oregon, as well as that
of all other states, relative to
the appropriation and beneficial
use of water."
Apparently the resolution spe
cifically referred to Deschutes
water use decisions of recent
years. The water affected by
the proposed legislation was de
fined as "all water originating
on federally - owned or con
trolled lands which contribute
to the flowing or moving sur
face of ground waters."

BERLIN (UPI) - The Rus
sians changed their tough
tactics today and cleared large
Berlin-bound French and Brit

checkpoints without harass- .
ment. The action was consid
ered a Russian backdown in
the face of Western Allied firmness.
A small American convoy
also was cleared without trou
ble along the 110-mile super
highway that runs between
West Germany and Berlin.
In none of the cases today did
any of the men in the Allied
convoys dismount to be counted
as the Russians have demanded
in recent days.
The French sent a convoy of
50 soldiers in 10 vehicle!
through East Germany and the
British followed with a convoy
of 43 soldiers in eight vehicles.

The Russian action was a
change of tactics from the
"tough stand the Soviets toos
earlier this week when they
held up a U.S. Army convoy of
44 men in 12 vehicles witn a
demand that they dismount to

Cattle rustling on increase
BAKER (LTD -The Old West
is not dead at least if you
judge by the number of cattle
taken by rustler every year.
President Walter Schrock of
the Oregon Cattlemen's Associ
ation said Thursday there is
more rustling on Oregon ranges
today than there was 50 years
a8'
"Some officials in our judicial
system don't even take this as
a very serious offense, he commented.
I "Fifty years ago we just
I strung 'era up. ..Nowadays the
penally paid by the culprits is
small considering the value of
the stock stolen," Schrock said.
Rustling is easy now because
of trucks and improved access
to ranges, the Central Oregon
stockman said. He added that
brand inspection is not very ef
fective because rustlers take
the cattle over state lines to sell
them. He said efforts are being
made to get federal prosecuon
in those cases.
The stockmen were warned
Thursday that Hie West could
0
lose control of its land lo East
ern bureaucrats unless it applies
some pressure in Washington.
The words came from George
Abbott, attorney for the Nevada
Cattlemen's Association and for
mer U.S. secretary of public
land management.
He said the West may find it
self overrun by legislation
created by people who have no
idea of Western problems. He
cited a pending three-year study
of all laws applying to public
domain in tha West.

featured a talk by LaSelle E.
Coles, Prineville ex-president of
the National Reclamation As
sociation, who touched on his
reclamation and agricultural
observations made on his re
cent visit to Soviet Russia. The
tour took him deep into Asia,
where the Soviet engineers are
developing huge irrigation proj
ects, with a vast volume of wa
ter available.
"Continued Reclamation In
the Face of Agricultural Sur
pluses" was the topic reviewed
by Prof. Emery N. Castle of
Oregon State College In a talk
before the group Thursday aft
ernoon.
Survival Difficult
Unless the new irrigation
farmer can produce more ef
ficiently than those farmers al
ready in production, he will
have difficulty surviving on his
irrigation project, Prof Castle
cautioned. Earlier he noted:
"We should not stop using wa
ter in agriculture simply be
cause It is becoming a more
valuable commodity national
ly." He added: "It Is obvious,
however, that the irrigation
type practices that were eco
nomical when water was plenti
ful should no longer be follow

voys today to reassert the West
ern Allies right to free access
to Berlin.
Earlier today a U.S. convoy
of eight soldiers in six vehicles
passed onto the Berlin highway
without incident. But it was con
sidered too small for a true test
of Soviet Intentions.
Disagreement Noted
The West contends the Rus
sians have no right to impose
new rules for travel across the
Berlin autobahn. The Russians
have said that troops in Allied
convoys must dismount to be
counted whenever the Commu
nists say.
East-West agreements on Ber
lin highway travel are cloudy.
But high American military of
ficials have said Western troops
will dismount to facilitate Rus
sian checking only when there
are more than 30 passengers
in a convoy, not counting driv
ers and co-drivers. They have
made it clear this is done mere
ly to speed checkpoint pro
cedures. That the French convoy was
meant to test Soviet intentions
was apparent by the number of
passengers it carried. Officials
said the convoy consisted of 30
soldier-passengers, just one un
der the number necessary for
dismountlng under Western con
voy procedures. The other 20
French soldiers were either
drivers or co-drivers, a spokes
man said.
