0! Surplus Water
Washington. Mar. 31 U.R
The reclamation bureau is go
ing forward with its $500,000 at
tempt to find out whether Col
umbia river surplus water can
be taken to the arid southwest.
Reclamation Commissio net
Michael W. Straus advised Rep.
Walter Norblad. (R.. Ore.), that
his bureau was aware of the
many problems posed by the
question.
"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.
But Straus added that bureau
engineers now estimate the riv
er would carry 150 million acre-
feet of surplus water it an i.io
projects listed in the latest Col
umbit basin report were built.
Allowing for an extra basin use
of 20 million acre-feet, he said,
the surplus flow would be 130
million acre feet.
"Such an allownnce," he con
tinued, "would provide for a

Traffic Deaths Mount
During February
Chicago, Mar. 31 (U.R) Mild
weather caused a nine per cent
increase in February traffic
deaths, the National Safety coun
cil said today.
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.
Dearborn said that the unseason
able weather permitted more
travel than last year, especially
in the mountain states, and that
more travel usually means more
accidents.
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.
