The reactivation plan calls "for the expenditure of about $5 million, an Army spokesman : told the United Press in Wash : ington. ; Rumors that there have also been cutbacks in construction 'planned at the reactivated Ar imy training site north of Med ;ford were denied by the Army j spokesman, who revealed that the only changes in plans were for the 1,300 acre site rather ; than the larger one. i Resurveys by the Army En- - gineers showed that the smaller .area would be enough, the spokesman said. He did not dis close the cost of repurchasing the land involved.' - - Contract Dale Undecided The Army announcement add ed that the date for the award : ing of the first contracts has not been decided. - Camp White, a World War II training site for two Army divi sions,: was declared surplus , in 1948. It is one of seven camps to be reconstructed and main tained on a standby basis in event a large Army is needed. Original plans as announced at the time the reactivation was first proposed called for an ex penditure of $11,285,000, which -was reduced last year to $5,144, 000. ' Portland (U.R) Design of railhead facilities for possible reactivation of Camp White, Ore., is expected to be completed by mid-March, Douglas M. Pel ton, in charge of the military construction section, North Pa cific Division Army Engineers, reported Tuesday. - - -.- - Pelton said the Division En gineers had a directive from the chief of engineers to complete the design for railhead facilities but had received no further in structions concerning reactiva tion of the southern Oregon mili- ' tary installation.

The com mittee voted Monday to ask Rus sell to be a candidate. Sen. Walter F. George, D-Ga., declare himself "wholeheartedly in accord" with the committee's action. . - - Ban on House Brings Storm Washington (U.R) Congress men and housewives joined the broadcasting industry Tuesday in protesting Speaker Sam Ray burn's ban on radio and televis ion coverage of House commit tee sessions. " ' Rep. Paul W. Shafer (R-, Mich.), called the order "one of the rawest examples of censor ship" he'd ever seen. : Housewives Object ' As it became apparent that the public will see and hear much less of Congress in action, house wives began objecting to the ban on televised sessions of congres sional activities,' which they re gard as welcome breaks from daily dusting and diaper-changing.

The statement was made bjran officer accompanying Adm. Acheson Satisfied With Achievement At NATO Meeting Lisbon U.R) U. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson leaves for Washington Tuesday, convinced that he got what he wanted from the most important session yet of the North Atlantic treaty council. But he may have a hard time convincing Congress his paper victories have substance. Enormous Steps Takes The council took enormous steps toward translating its plans into action by removing major diplomatic roadblocks to a build up of western defenses and ap proving specific military plans for the first tune. It sanctioned a European army, cleared the way for the end of the German occupation, linked Germany to NATO, adopted a 1952 military program for - 50 divisions, 4,000 planes and construction of more than $460,000,000 worth of airfields and communications networks. Fulfillment Doubted But many delegates and ob servers here seriously doubt whether these plans will ever be fulfilled. Too ' much depends upon un predictable ' factors whether France ; can steady its . wobbly economy, whether the ' French and German parliaments are really ready to bury the hatchet, and whether Communist . pres sure in the Far East will wreck western planning in Europe.

McCormick, new Amer ican supreme commander in the North Atlantic, who U here for conferences with Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower. The officer said of the mine: "It can float In the water un detected for days and can not be swept It was an American inen- tion the Russians have stolen. Method of Theft Untold He did not say how the Rus sians "stole" the details of the top-secret mine. But he added that the Russians now know how to make the dead ly American-invented explosive with which the top-secret mine is charged. The mine is of a type that can float harmlessly in the water and then automatically "arm" itself for discharge, the officer said. Can Be Big Menace He commented that Russian mines can become as big a men ace in event of war as the torpe does of Russia fleet of more than 200 submarines. The Rus sians have planes capable of sow ing mines in the Atlantic, he said, in addition to those which could be sown by any subma rine which reached those waters. As McCormick conferred with Eisenhower, hundreds of Ameri can, British, French and Italian warships, jet planes and subma rines began the biggest peace- tune maneuvers ever held in the Mediterranean. The maneuvers are known of ficially as "Operation Grand Slam." Passenger Trains On Siskiyou Run Make Final Trip - Conductor M. C.

(U.S. Army Photo) Real Need Felt for Book on Eisenhower's Political Opinions New York "There was a real need. I felt, or a book that would assemble, for the record, the po litical opinions of Gen. Eisen hower." Kevin McCann. presi dent of Defiance College, said this week. "So I roiled up my sleeves and pitched in." Mr. McCann's articles, entitled "Eisenhower's Political Creed." will start Thursday, February 28. in The Mail Tribune. Written for the most part in the general's own words, "Eisen hower's Political Creed" was culled from private conversa tions and personal correspond ence, together with occasional public statements msde by Gen. Eisenhower since the close of World Wer H. Author Equipped for Job As chief civilian assistant to the general in Washington, at Columbia University and at SHAPE headquarters in Paris.

At the same time, be has reemphasized his opposition to the original "Plan A," but given approval for long-range studies of the basin's needs. . Monroe Sweetland, Democratic national committeeman from Oregon, told The Mail Tribune by telephone Monday afternoon, that he had been informed from Washington, D. C, that letters', from Chapman are en route which would: Hew Basin Project Includes 3 Basic Construction Plans The "amended" or "substitute" plan for the immediate develop ment of irrigation and power fa cilities in the Rogue basin, which received the green light from Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman this week, includes three basic projects. Their cost has been estimated at more than $104 million. As outlined in the original res olution adopted by the Rogue River Valley Irrigation associa tion, these are as follows: Three Phases 1. A 55,000 acre-foot reservoir at Howard prairie, with a tunnel and canal from Howard prairie to the present Emigrant dam; a 10,000 kilowatt power plant; the enlargement of Emigrant reser voir from a capacity of 8,000 to 46,000 acre-feet to provide sup plemental water to all of the ir rigation districts in the Bear creek drainage, plus such new lands under the present irriga tion districts for which water might be made available. (Cost estimated in February, 1951, at $5,370,400.) 2. A 25,000 kilowatt stream flow power dam . at Cascade gorge, revenues from which, to gether with income from water! users, to be used to provide funds for the impounding of water of the tributaries of the Illinois riv er for the purpose of irrigating some 17,000 acres -of new lands in the Illinois valley, plus supple mental water for 5,000 acres al ready under partial irrigation. (Cost estimated in FebruaryT 1951; at $5,130,000.) f 3. Rehabilitation of the main water supply canals of the exist ing irrigation districts in order to conserve water now available, and to reduce the present opera tion and maintenance costs paid by water users. : In the same resolution in which . the above suggestions were set forth, the RRVIA agreed to withdraw its support of the original and . controversial Plan A "or any plan having to do with the creation of dams upon the main canal of Rogue river," unless such dams have the approval of all organizations having an interest The resolution also proposed that the governor of Oregon be requested, "upon acceptance of the amended plan as proposed, to appoint a Rogue River Basin Resources Committee made up of representatives -of agriculture, fish and wildlife and recreational organizations, mining, lumber ing, business and the general public for the purpose of fully developing the resources of the basin. 11 Sailors Injured By Communis! fiuns Washington U.R) Eleven sailors were wounded when the U. S. destroyer Shelton was hit by Communist shore battery fire off the northeast coast of Korea last Friday, the Navy disclosed Tuesday. The Navy said three of the wounded men are in serious con dition. ' One shell tore a three-by-four- foot hole in the destroyer's hull at the water line. That and other damage forced the Shelton to go back to Japan for repairs. - 'Accident or Suicide' Verdict in Gun Death The death Saturday of Her man G. Meyers, 64, Brownsboro, was found today to be "either accidental or suicide," District Attorney Paul Haviland said this morning. . ; The announcement was made after a consultation with Dr. Homer Harris of the state crime detection laboratory at the Uni versity of Oregon . medical school in Portland. - Dr. Harris was called as a precautionary measure, Havil and said, at the request of Dr. A. Erin MerkeL county health officer. County authorities said the wound in Mr. Meyers' head was so extensive they believed crime detection experts should be consulted. The Brownsboro man .was found near his home with rifle wounds in the bead about 5 p. m. Saturday. " Dr. Harris said the wounds were caused by one rifle bullet fired from cloM.rania. Reaffirms Disavowal Of Original "Plan A" 1. Reaffirm his earlier dis avowel of "Plan A," which or iginally was set forth by the Bureau of Reclamation for the ' Rogue valley area; 2. Emphasize the need to pro ceed immediately with the com pletion of the alternate plan, as proposed by the Rogue River Valley Irrigation association; and, 3. Request Col. Ray Bessey, chairman of the Columbia Basin Interagency committee, to pro ceed with arrangements for a continuing additional study of the long-range needs of the area. Cost Over SlOVi Million Secretary Chapman, it is un derstood here, also has requested the Bureau of Reclamation to begin immediate work on en gineering the specific items con tained in the new proposal. The plan would cost in excess of $10V million. The letters are addressed, Sweetland said, to Gov. Doug las McKay, to Victor Boehl, Grants Pass, president of the Irrigation association, and to Oregon's congressional represen tatives. ...... ... Announcement of the secre tary of the interior's "green light" for the alternate plan means that a major hurdle - in the fight for new irrigation and power in the area has been cleared, following a long, drawn out battle which originated well before the 1948 hearing at which Plan A was formally proposed' by the Reclamation Bureau. Drew Opposition Plan A, which never gained the support of higher authorities in the department of the interior, involved the construction of a high dam across the Rogue river at Lewis creek. It drew violent opposition from fish, wildlife and other recreational interests throughout the nation. Finally, the irrigation inter ests of the valley came up with the substitute plan in April, 1951, finally approving it, slightly changed, in September. It gained the guarded support of the interests which had opposed Plan A. Only opposition to the new proposal came from a small group of dry-land farmers, most ly in the Sams Valley area, which would not benefit from the new plan. I Medford sources who have been close to the struggle to gain the approval of the development program say that engineering on the new projects could be com pleted in as littie as three months. After that the project, as set forth in the engineering plans, will again be submitted to Sec retary Chapman. When he ap proves, it will be ready for in troduction to the Congress, prob ably at the opening of the 83rd -session in January of next year. Agree on Water Irrigation districts of the area have arrived at complete agree ment and understanding on the distribution of new irrigation waters, it was reported here yes terday. ,' Further background on Sec retary Chapman's attitude' to ward the original Plan A, and the later substitute, is contained in a letter which he wrote Feb ruary 15 to Sen. Guy Cordon. He said, in part: " J "Departmental endorsement of the original plan was withheld because of the many conflicting views as to its merit, the vigor ous opposition of organizations interested in the preservation of recreational areas and sports fishing streams, and the lack of information as to the effect the development of that plan would have on fisheries, mineral re sources and recreation. Impressed by Support "The Department was Irrt- pressed by the support given to the Irrigation Association's sub stitute plan for immediate de velopment of the -iasin, and the Bureau of Reclamation has been requested to proceed with de tailed investigations of the spe cific items in the proposed sub stitute plan. If it is found that the substitute plan is consistent with the comprehensive and bal anced development of the re sources of the Basin, and if the plan is found feasible, it could properly be carried forward as soon as possible, before ail the studies and investigations neces sary to the completion of the comprehensive plan ..."
