Report on Water
Jacksonville Jacksonville Is
expecting a report soon on a
preliminary survey of its water
supply, according to Mayor Al
bert Hackert.
The engineering firm" of Cor
nell, Holland. Hayes and Merrl
field of Corvallis contracted to
complete the survey 200 days
from last October, Mayor Hack
ert pointed out. He said the firm
is studying all the alternatives
and will pick out the two "most
! reasonable" ones, together with
recommendations, and will pre
! sent them to the council.
Study Three Plans
The different plans under
study are a connection with the
Medford system, another reser
voir supplied from either o f
three sources, and the drilling of
wells, the mayor, added.
"We hope to get this report
as soon as possible," he said, "so
that the proposals can be put on
the regular November election
ballot. We will have to vote a
bond Issue whichever plan Is
adopted."
Mayor Hackert noted that the
city had been working on its
water problem for "several
years," and that there had been
a water shortage "for some
time."
Fourteen privately owned toll
roads still exist in the United
States, most of them access roads
to mountain tops or seashore re
sorts. Their total length is IVi
miles.

Italy's Land Plan Upsets
Communist Party Discipline
Grosseto, Italy (U.fi) The
Italian government's land-for-the
poor program has upset Com
munist party discipline in this
Red-dominated farm area of
small farms.
The government has started
the distribution of small farms
to the landless peasant of this
region. Communists are urging
party members to refuse the
grants to the land, reclaimed
from once malaria - ridden
marshes, on the ground that it is
no good.
Officials in charge of the pro
gram said that so far only one
Communist peasant has turned
down an offer of a farm for his
own. Two days later, he changed
his mind and said he wanted it
after all.
The desire for land is power
ful among Italy's peasant and
sharecropper class. The govern
ment is counting heavily on the
land reform program to woo
them from Communism.
Called "Revolution"
Premier Alcide de Gasperl,
who came here to present farms
to 178 peasants, told them the
expropriation of land from the
wealthy for assignment to the
poor was a peaceful revolution
which deserved their full sup
port. Speaking In an area where
the Communists outpolled his
Christian Democratic Party by
four to one in last year's local
elections, de Gasperl said: "This
is a peaceful revolution which
gets results without shedding
blood."
The premier assured the peas
ants that the land reform would
continue. The council of state in
Rome followed up his promise
by rejecting charges by land
owners who have lost part of
their estates that the expropria
tion was unconstitutional.
Peasants Jealous
The difficulties confronting
the program do not come only
from Communists or the wealthy
landowners, however. The peas
ants themselves are so jealous of ;
the land they get that they spurn I
appeals for co-operative opera-1
tion with their neighbors.
That has been especially true
here in Tuscany, where the in-1
riividualism that marks Italians'
in general is especially strong. I
Government officials said it Is
an uphill right to persuade the
peasants that state help In the
form of technical, economic and!
financial aid will be more effec
tive if the peasants work to
gether on a co-operative basis
at the outset.
Peasants Admonished "
Giuseppe Medici, chief of the
local land program, and minister
of agriculture Amintore Fanfani
told the 178 peasants: "Remem
ber to be successful on your'new
farms, you must collaborate
among yourselves. Don't shut
yourself up on your own farm."
Fanfani said 108,560 acres of
land have been distributed since
the program started almost two
years ago and that the figure will
reach 173,900 acres by then end
of April.
Land that has been earmarked
for expropriation totals 1,973,
650 acres in the Italian penin
sula, Sicily and Sardinia
Woodworkers
Threaten Strike
Portland (U.R) The CIO
International Woodworkers of
America said Saturday its mem
bers will strike April 28 if em
ployers in Pacific Northwest
forest industries fail to grant
their new contract demands.
A referendum vote recently
approved granting the regional
negotiating committee authority
to call a strike if no agreements
were reached.
Thus far, the"nnlon, which rep
resents 50,000 loggers and forest
industry workers on 700 opera
tions, has signed only with Wey
erhaeuser Timber company. It
has been conferring with the
Willamette Valley Operators as
sociation. No other negotiations
were reported.
