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.

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

Surprisingly, one of the spirit

nonpartisan judicial ballot.

the state supreme court seat be

races is that for republican nom
ination for state senator from
Marion county, with two to be
named. Candidates include Sen.

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

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.
