"We know the cost would be great," Straus said, "but we be lieve that the benefits which would be realized would be inv mpasurahlv creator." In reply to Norblad's letter objecting to the half-million-dollar investigations, Straus gave him this promise: "If our continuing studies re veal that . . . there will not be any surplus water in the Colum bia river under ultimate condi tions, I can assure you that we will not recommend further in vestigations or construction.

The council counted 2.190 fa talities last month, an increase of nine per cent over February, 1949, the biggest percentage in crease for any month since Aug ust. 1946. Council President Ned H.

The February toll brought the 1950 fatalities to 4.B50, six per cent more than the same period last year. The increase, Dearborn said, was general with all parts of the nation except the west coast reporting average increases from five to 33 per cent. Perfect records for the' two months were reported by 254 cities, including Tacoma, Wash., and Kansas City, Kan. the basin far beyond anv fore seeable development and beyond any demands which we can visualize."
