(Tony) Bruy, Lubrication Conrad Campbell, Attendant WATCH FOR OUR GRAND OPENING TO BE ANNOUNCED AT A LATER DATE Shasta Dam Dedicated During Celebrations Redding, Cal., June 17 U.R) Shasta dam, the key structure of California's vast central val ley project, was formally dedi cated today "to the foresight of those who conceived and wrote the federal reclamation laws." William E. Warne, assistant secretary of the interior, repre senting President Truman at the dedication, described the dam as "a monument to the people who have made California great." "It is the, fruit of the dreams and work of millions," he said. Courage Alto Cited "By the dedication today of this great dam," Warne de clared, "we commemorate the foresight of those who conceived and wrote the federal reclama tion laws as well as the courage and the vision of the California pioneers of a still earlier day who fought against land mon opoly and sought to bring water to the land." Warne told a dedication audi ence that the central valley proj ect as it now stands is "only the beginning" of reclamation in California. Federal e n g i n eers, he said, already are con sidering further development along the Feather, American, Stanislaus, Upper San Joaquin, Kings and Kern rivers. The number two interior de partment man attacked oppon ents of the federal 160-acre land limitation for water usage as "selfish interests" that have op posed protection of the people against land monopoly for years. But he said the people have "achieved victory" and the 160 acre limitation "is fast becom ing an academic issue." Warne added, however, that the situation was not so peace ful on the issue of public versus private power in California. He lashed out specifically at the Pacific Gas and Electric com pany for attempting to "thwart" the development of public power. Warne's address was given as Skills Sought Here For Civilian Defense Individuals with special train ing and experience which would be valuable to a civilian defense organization during time of emer gency have been asked to leave their names, addresses and quali fications with the city administra tion s office of civilan defense, it was announced Saturday by the mayor's office.
