f SECOND SECTION FEATURES RADIO CLASSIFIED COMICS Ability of Transferring Water Appears Feasible Salt Lake City, May 16 4U.R) The possibility of transferring water from the Pacific northwest to water-deficient areas of the southwest appears to be feasible, according to a bureau of recla mation engineer. S. P. McCasland said although the final reconnaissance report would not be completed until next year, some definite conclu sions could be made now. "We are now certain that any such transfer would be very small in comparison to the sur plus water available in the north west," McCasland said. "It is possible that less than 10 per cent of the surplus that remains after setting aside a re serve for all future northwest consumption could be trans ferred southward within the lim its of economic- feasibility." The extent of ultimate surplus water in the northwest was de termined only after making a careful inventory of all lands in the northwest that could be sub jected to irrigation under any conceivable condition, and mak ing a similar estimate of all other consumptive uses of water pos sible under ultimate conditions. Sugar Beef Growers To Receive Payment Ogden, Utah, May 16 (U.R) Officials of Amalgamated Sugar company here announced today an additional payment of $865, 000 will be made Friday to sugar beet growers in the Oregon, Ida ho and Utah area for their 1949 crop.

Medford Tribune Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1950 Pages 1-6 Candidates Of Campai By William Warren United Press Correspondent Salem, Ore., May 16 (U.R) Candidates and causes were squared away today for the final fling of campaigning for the primary election next Friday, an election that is hot at the county level and, c a p i t o 1 observers agree, tepid at the state level. Veterans of the statehouse said the primary campaign, at the state level, has been one of the quietest of recent years. Yet, with registration at an all-time high of 711.719, the vote may be surprisingingly large for an off-year primary election. Demos Trying Hard Several observers here said the significance of local contests upon the state picture as a whole should not be overlooked. For instance, the democrats, with their heaviest registration on record and their first statewide plurality since the records have been kept, are trying hard for local footholds that can be used to gain increased prestige, and eventually offices, at the state level. The race for U. S. senator has brought out some spirited oppo sition to Sen. Wayne L. Morse for the republican nomination. The two men seeking the nod over him Friday are Dave Hoo ver of Deadwood. Lane county, and John McBride. who lists his residence as Portland but who has been in government employ in the national capitol for some time. Hoover came to Oregon a few years ago after serving as a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles county. In his campaign litera ture he has accused Morse of being on the socialistic side. The same accusation has come from McBride. Morse has answered that he is a "constitutional re publican," who votes for meas ures on their constitutional mer its but who votes as he thinks best, which isn't always on the side of the republican majority. McKay Unopposed Douglas McKay is unopposed for republican nomination for re-election as governor of Ore gon. But a hefty tussle is on for the democratic nomination among three' Portlanders, State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson, State Sen. Austin Flegel and Lew Wallace. Although this race has produced some fireworks, oldtimers at the capitol say the fight hardly rates as knockdown, drag-out. The "experts" are mix ed in picking this one. Some look for Flegel to win upstate Square Away for Final Fling gning Before Election Friday while Wallace and Pearson bat tle for leadership in populous Multnomah county. Surprisingly, one of the spirit ed contests has come on the nonpartisan judicial ballot. There's a three-way scramble for the state supreme court seat be ing vacated by Justice J. O. Bailey, who is expected to re tire before the end of the year. Multnomah county Circuit Judge Walter L. Tooze, Portland At torney Robert F. Maguire and State Sen. Austin Dunne of Schumacher Returns From Realty Clinics Ray J. Schumacher, of the Schumacher real estate agency, president of the Oregon Associa tion of Real Estate Brokers, re turned here yesterday after con ducting nine real estate clinics throughout the state. The first clinic was held in Medford May 1, and from here Schumacher and party went to Roseburg, Salem, Tillamook, McMinnville, Portland, Pendleton, Ontario and Klamath Falls. Accompanying Schumacher on the trip were Mrs. Schumacher and Taylor Treece. Portland, sec retary of the state association. Also appearing at all the clinics was Ai Crose, Salem, state real estate commissioner. Purpose of the clinicsvas to help real estate brokers in their mutual problem in business, and to better serve the general pub lic as well as meet problems of housing and others. lags Ben-Hur pure vanilla gets its fine bou quet and delicate aroma from on expert blend of Mexican and Madagascar vanHla beans . . . highest quality grown.

Homer D. Angell of Multnomah county, third district, is opposed by R. J. Jenson and Donald C. Walker. Democrats have at least two aspirants for nomination in each district. Morgan Lone Candidate William E. Kimsey of Marion county is unopposed for republi can nomination for re-election as state labor commissioner, while Howard Morgan of Polk county is the lone candidate for demo cratic nomination. One of the most wide-open races is that for republican nom ination for state senator from Marion county, with two to be named. Candidates include Sen. Fred Lamport, who has been ap pointed twice and served in two legislatures without yet being elected, is out to succeed him self. Others hoping for the GOP nod are veteran state representa tives William W. Chadwick, Frank A. Doerfler and Doug Yeater. Steve Anderson, 35, who has had wide support among young republicans, and K. G. Thompson complete the slate. Levies on Ballot Several counties are voting on levies to exceed the 6 per cent limitation. And Yamhill county is pre senting a proposal for $1,750,000 in road bonds for permanent road construction and mainte nance, the first of such bonds to be proposed in Oregon since the 1920's. Only democrats (registration 354.575) and republicans (regis tration 346.038) will get to vote for nominees for their parties at the Friday primary. Others registered 3,282 inde pendents, 245 socialists, 349 pro hibitionists, and 7,230 all others won't be able to vote on nom inations, but they can vote on all tax measures and on judicial and all other nonpartisan candidates.

Sabo. of Gary, Indiana, said a "para-military or ganization" has been created In the Soviet zone in defiance of the Yalta and Potsdam agree ments.
