Letters submitted for pub Uratlon must not exceed 4nn words Rain On Order The Salt River Valley Water Users association in Arizona is going about the business of rain or snow making in a somewhat different way than is being tried in this part of the Kogue Kiver valley. In Arizona three rain making machines have been used and, ac cording to the January issue of the Arizona Farmer, they have proved sufficiently successful to warrant purchase of seven more. TJERE, the aim has been to increase snowfall through "triggering" of certain type clouds by the use of airplanes. The added snowfall, if any, is expected to give additional irrigation water when the meiung process sees in mis spring. The Arizona machines are blowers, set up in the watershed, to spray the air with silver iodide vapor in fine particles. The object is to stimulate precipitation from clouds that are in condition to drop their mois ture but need something to actually get them started. e e e e SCIENTISTS explain that silver iodide particles are olmncf o.varflir lilfo trio gnuanllo rmplmia arruinrl which raindrops form. Artificial injection of the iodide particles deceives the clouds causing them to drop their cargo and, theoretically at least, this re action spreads as far as there is moisture cold enough for condensation. Admittedly, the clouds have to be exactly the right temperature for the "triggering off" to have ef fect. If the temperature of the cloud vapor is too high, nothing that man can do will condense it. e DEPORTS from the Salt River Valley experiment " reveal that normal precipitation of 0.22 of an inch was stepped up to 0.84 and Dr. Irving P. Krick, meteorologist, who has analyzed Weather Bureau data for the region believes fine ground unit can ef fect as much as 240 square miles when everything is favorable. The three rain machines which have been used in the initial experiments cost around $1,200 each and required a portable electric generator. The seven new "rain makers" developed by the General Electric company, burn bottled gas and the cost per unit is only $200. Although there will be considerable additional expense in placing the machines in the most strategic spots and keeping men on hand to operate them at the proper time, the promoters believe that all told the machines will stimulate precipitation at about one-tenth the cost of cloud seeding by airplane. TF the Arizonans have actually found a way to bring rain by making only a nominal investment in ap paratus, it may be natural to expect dry land ranchers of this and other regions will be setting up "cloud guns" in their back pastures before long. Such a de velopment could lead to considerable disagreement as to timing and quantity of rain, but that is a subject which can be taken up later. E.C.F. Crosstown by Roland Co ' X r- " fa"' ' " "I cannot accept this book report you turned in, Charles! It sounds very much like the movie version." ' Washington Report By Bob Dickey Washington, Feb. 16 Fiveitary of interior that he was to Oregon reclamation projects are submit the "combined plan" for F-y. ,s;e: a Bob Dickey Red Snow To the Editor: Most people think of snow as white. Some artists paint it as blue. In Green land and clsewhPre, red snow has been found. This is due to minute plant organisms. , Last August, National Parks' Ranger Naturalist Shnrsmith, found in the Yosemile region a much rarer snow. It was green snow. Its color is due to tiny green plants. These are algae, cousins to the green seaweeds. Naturalist Shar.smith's find was described in Yosemile Nature Notes, a little publication of the Yosemitr Ranger Naturalists. Children who enjoy national park educational programs soon will have a rare treat. Florida's Everglades national park now has been dedicated. Soon dad and mother can pack the brood into the auto for a trip lo the tropics. In this baby of the na tional parks chain, one can sec Royal Palm forest, yet avoiding the expense of a Brazilian tour. The Everglades, too. have 100 species of orchids. On its miles of mangrove, oysters grow. These landed poor Columbus In dun geon chains. He refused to re cant his statement: "In America, oysters grow on trees!" The kiddies can watch, through a telescope, eaglets at school. Best of all are the roseate spoon bills. These are great pink "cranes." A few years ago these were down to three breeding pairs on one key. The Audubon Society saved them by Jailing plume-hunters. C. M. Goethe. Sacramento, Calif. Senator Malone Nevada's U. S. Senator George W. Malone, who gave Monday night's Lincoln club diners one of the most down-to-earth talks heard here in some years, may be a man-to-watch in the national Republican picture that is, if there is any future in republican ism. CENATOR Malone has few attributes of the political spellbinder; he indulges in no arm waving, voice whittling or other histrionics. His argument is easily followed for his words make sense, and both he and his hearers know what he is talking about, a situation becoming more and more rare in these days when so many in public life are sailing under the gobbledy- gook banner. The senator is one of .those seldom found in politics, a successful businessman. A civil and hy draulic engineer by profession, he served as an ad viser to the secretary of the interior in the construc tion of Hoover dam, he was state engineer of Nevada in 1927 and conducted his own engineering concern until becoming his state s junior moftnber of the United States senate.

Ore., as a result of local option, Die Mall Tribune Went Adj now being considered by a sen ate committee and may be au t h o ri z e d by backdoor legis lation. These five p r o j e cts, in cluded in the 14-project pro gram submit ted to congress early this month, are: Hell's Canyon dam; Canby project on the Mo lalla river; Crooked river proj ect on the Crooked river: The Dalles project, west unit, on the Columbia river; and the Vale project, Bully creek extension, on the Malhuer river, The interior and insular af fairs committee of the senate is now holding hearings on pro posed amendments to the ' rivers and harbors" bill, H.R. 5472, passed over by the senate last session. And among amendments being considered is one which would authorize projects located in Oregon. In other words, they would be brought in through the backdoor by riding on H.R. Silt. It is necessary to understand the house bill, H.R. 5472, to ap preciate the uniqueness of this action now being taken by the senate interior and insular af fairs committee. Pork Barrel Bill House bill H.R. 5472 is com monly called the "pork barrel" bills. It is a legislative author ization of all the rivers and harbors projects which are to be undertaken by the army engi neers. In it there are 12 Oregon projects with an estimated ap propriation of $103,307,000. These are: Lookout Point dam (completion of dam and power facilities); Hills creek dam; Dex ter dam; Waldo lake; Fall creek dam; Holley dam; Fern Ridge dam; Willamette falls fish lad der: Willamette river supple mental works; Detroit dam (com pletion); Johnson creek dam; and an authorization of work on levees on the Willamette river to protect the city of Portland. This bill was passed in the house last session but bogged down in the senate public works committee. Finally it was report ed out of committee but the bill remained on the senate calender without being passed. But since last session of con gress was the first session of the 81st congress, the bill did not die. House passage of the measure is still effective and if the bill is passed by the senate this session, congressional action will be completed. Complications Now the senate interior and insular affairs committee is com plicating the situation. They are holding hearings 'on these recla mation projects to get informa tion for the purpose of amend ing H.R. 5472, the pork barrel bill, by tacking on to it the au thorization of the reclamation projects. Oregonlans could interpret this action two ways. They could say it would be beneficial in thnt more Oreeon Droiects are beinir authorized. Or they could reason inai since n.n. oti um ; not get past the senate last ses sion, if it is now burdened with additional amendments approv ing reclamation projects, it will be bogged down again this session. Presidential Approval But then Benin, reasoning that the amending of H.R. 5472 would be burdensome is not too accu rate in the light of current con ditinns. The majority of the proj ects in the "rivers and harbors' (or pork barrel, or omnibus) bill, as well as the reclamation proj ects which may be tacked on to the bill, have been given the green light from President Truman. The first of this month, the bureau of the budget, speaking for Truman, notified the secre- the development of the Columbia basin region to congress. This combined plan represent ed the integrated agreement be tween the army engineers and Bu-Rec. It was the topic of much controversy last year and term ed the "shot-gun" wedding of the engineers and the bureau of rec lamation by the CVA forces. There was also much com ment last year by the opposition to CVA over the president's re luctance to clear the "plan" through the budget bureau. They accused him of: 1. Holding up the combined plan to force CVA action; and 2. Holding up action on H.R. 5472, embodying features of the "combined plan," to force action on CVA. Now the president has re leased the Bu-Rec-Engineers co ordinated plan and this should indicate to his supporters in con gress that he wants it enacted into legislation. This also should expedite the passage of H.R. 5472 this session since it em bodies most of the plan. If the bill is amended to include the reclamation projects, they prob ably will be carried along with it. Plug for CVA Notwithstanding the presi dent's release of the "coordinated agreement," he still managed to slip in a plug tor CVA. He said, through the budget letter to in terior," . . . authorization of this program by congress will make it more important than ever to A Nichol.' Worth of- Comment On This and That - By HARMAN W.

You may find just the man Beaejr, Paul ureen is 1 looking for to f play the role of V George Wash- .11 Green, a Pu litzer prize winning play wright, is com pleting a new symphonic drama, featur ing the father of our country. The drama will have its world Herman Nlchola premiere here in connection with the national capital sesquicentennial. The playwright says all the bars are down on the search. He'll take for the part a pro fessional, an amateur, a hay shaker, a butcher or a guy who runs a cement mixer. "I'm not going to leave any talent unturned," Green said. "I'm even going to look at all the drama schools in the coun try." The qualifications are not simple. "The man to play George Washington must be a rugged, heavy, almost craggy person," said Green. "He must at times be a jovial character. At other times he must be deadly serious. He should have big hands, a big- featured face, with wide-spaced, level, penetrating eyes. Lips Must Be Heavy ine author didn t mention it. but it probably would help the man after the job if he knows how to belt a cherry tree with a hatchet and is willing to swear on a stack of good books that he never told a lie. His lips should be slightlv heavy," Green said, "not beau tiful, not ugly. He must have a voice of authority, for Washing ton always spoke with such a voice." The man who will plav George Washington must be a little over 50 years of age. He ought to have gray hair, although a wig could fix that up and probablv will. anyhow; he must be slightly establish a better organizational framework and more uniform statutory basis for the conserva tion and development of all na tural resources in the Pacific Northwest, such as would be pro vided by the Columbia Valley Authority."' grizzled and should be taller than average. Words Lacking Green and Edward Boykin, the director of the sesquicenten nial, were talking it over and had to admit they couldn't quite find the exact words to describe the man they are looking for. The history books say that Washington was "at all times" a vivid vital personality. A pro fessional could put on that act; an amateur would have to have it in the first place. And the man who portrays his personality and character must possess the innate quality of a "noble gentleman." Above all, the fellow they're seeking must live and work in America. "Surely," Green said, "there are scores of Americans who know a 'George Washington.' Maybe he lives An the farm be hind your back 40 acres. He might ride to work with you on the street car. Take another look at your grocery clerk." Anyway, if you know a "George Washington," drop Paul Green a line in care of the Na tional Capital Sesquicentennial in Washington, D. C., and send along a photograph of your candidate. Diesels To Replace Steam Locomotives Ashland, Feb. 16 A plan to replace steam locpmotives with diesel engines on the Southern Pacific line in this division was revealed today by a spokesman for the railroad in the Ashland Southern Pacific freight office. Reduction of locomotive crews from six to two men will ac company the change-over, ac cording to the official, but he added that the SP hopes to ar range transfers for the em ployees bumped." As a preliminary to the switch from steam to diesel. Southern Pacific is now making test runs over the Siskiyous from Ashland to Dunsmuir with a Baldwin diesel, one of the largest of its type made, and with a smaller helper locomotive. The spokesman said one diesel engine can do the work of three steam locomotives and will be used exclusively by the SP within a short time.
