The amount of iunds which will be allocated for construction
of the Talent project was still in doubt today following President
- Eisenhower's budget message to congress. ,
' Included in the presidents requests was an item of $30,000
for plans for the reclamation project. Total cost of the Talent proj
ect will be $22,000,000.
..However, a total of $10,000,000 recommended for the Bureau
of Reclamation reportedly will be used by that agency 'to finance
a small projects plan backed by
United Press.
-Neuberger Calls on
McKay fo Add Funds
For Talent Project
Oregon Senator Richard Neu
berger has called on Interior
Secretary Douglas McKay to in
clude at least $2,850,000 in the
budget of the Bureau of Recla
mation to be used for the Talent
Irrigation project.
Canal Restoration
in a leuer written to McKay,
a copy of which was furnished
to The Mail Tribune, Neuberger
mum which should be recom
mended is $350,000 for restoring
the canal systems of the Med
f ord and Rogue River Valley Ir
rigation districts. I also believe
that at least $2,500,000 should
be recommended for the start of
construction on the physical en
gineering works themselves.
"It Is imperative, I think, that
the resources of Oregon be' de
veloped in an orderly manner,
in the public interest, in order
to care for the. large population
influx which migrated into our
,. state between 1940 and 1953.
cThese people can earn a living
at productive work only if we
use our, resources . wisely and
well. I feel certain that the Tal
'ent Irrigation and Power proj
ect constitutes such use of our
resources.
Total Cost $22,000,000
"Because the total cost of the
project is $22,000,000, it is ob
vious that even a recommenda
tion of nearly $3,000,000i in the
coming fiscal-year budget will
still leave a considerable amount
of time before the project can
finally be completed.
' "I hope that you and your as
sociates in the administration can
see fit to recommend in the bud
get the funds necessary to get
the Talent project well started."
Judge Instructs
New Grand Jury
Circuit Judge Orval Millard,
Grants Pass, instructed the new
grand jury this morning for the
January term of circuit court.
Millard presided in the ab
sence of udge H. K. Hanna, who
entered Sacred Heart hospital
last night for treatment of a kid
ney infection. His wife reported
today that the judge was "much
better" this morning. It was not
known as yet when he will re
turn to his office, his wife added.
f The district attorney's office
reported that no action would be
taken on several criminal mat
ters pending disposition, until
Hanna returns.
New grand jury , members
sworn in were Floyd Price,
Butte Falls; Gloria L. Stewart,
Medford; Goldie Imhausen, Med
ford; Lance Baker, Ashland;
Louise ,A. Novosad, Central
ford, and Huldah T. Thurman,
Point; Dorothy Edwards, Med
Medford. Baker was named
foreman by the court and Dor
othy Edwards elected secretary.
: The jury adjourned after an
organizational meeting, with no
criminal matters to consider to
day. Nautilus Goes
'Grotcn, Conn. U.R) The
ilSS Nautilus, the world's first
vessel to be propelled by atomic
power, went to sea -today to
begin a series of trial runs.
The 2800-ton blunt nose sub
marine, . its generating plant
capable of carrying it around the
world without surfacing, cruised
down the Thames river .into
which it was launched a year
. ago, and then headed into Long
Island Sound. In command was
Cmdr. Eugene P. Wilkinson.
Evsni Recorded '
Accompanying the Nautilus
was the 195-foot auxiliary sub
marine rescue vessel Skylark,
Which carried scores of news
men and camera crews to record
: the history making ' evenL1:;! I
the administration, according to
Supplemental
Request Expected
It was believed here that some
$350,000 will be taken from that
fund to restore the canal systems
of the Medford and Rogue River
Valley Irrigation districts.
Local supporters of the pro
ject have indicated, that a - sup
plemental request will be made
for $2,645,000 io be used for in
itial construction of the irriga
tion and power phases of the
project.
In addition to the Talent pro
ject, one Oregon reclamation
project and five Oregon flood
control projects were mentioned
by the president in his message
to congress, United Press said.
. The projects, and the amount
requested, included: Deschutes
(Haystack reservoir) reclamation
$274,000; Willamette river flood
control, $300,000; - Detroit dam
flood control, $797,000; Lookout
Point dam flood control, $1,400,
000; McNary dam flood control,
$11,000,000, and The Dalles dam
flood control $63,500,000.
None of the proposed new
projects call for power produc
tion. But the president said the
"local interests" .are expected
to join the Army engineers in
construction of two Oregon pro
jects. He mentioned Cougar and
Green Peter dams in Oregon as
likely , "partnership" ' projects.
The president included $5,000,-
000 -in the budget as a (starting
federal contribution 'toward
those projects. ly1
Another, request of major in
terest in southern Oregon was a
$2,500,000 appropriation asked
for construction of access roads
in the Oregon and California
grant lands in Oregon.
The roads were set for con
struction during the fiscal year
of 1956, but the president did
not specify how many miles of
road the funds would finance.
The president said such con
struction was necessary to reach
stands, of high quality timber
which otherwise would be in
accessible. ' The funds .were expected to
be reimbursed through the sale
of . the timber.
No H-Bomb Tests
Planned This Year
Washington (U.R) The

States has decided not to stage
any H-bomb tests this year. -
. If it is true, and informed
sources say it is, it reversed
what appeared to be soundly
based but unofficial reports last
year that new superbomb de
signs would be tested at the
Pacific proving grounds in the
fall of 1955. .

Constitutional

Before Legislature
Bills Tackled
By Committees
' Salem (U.R) Full speed
ahead was the slogan today as
the 1955 Oregon Legislature
opened its second week by delv
ing into committee work on a
hundred bills and received a re
port of the Governor's Legisla
tive Constitutional : Committee
headed by Sen. John P.. Hounsell
of Hood River.
The majority report favors a
constitutional convention to do
a one-piece job of amending Ore
gon's constitution to take out
"deadwood" and to make neces
sary corrections and additions.
The minority report favors
making these amendments step
by step for submission to the
voters. In either event the people-
must approve the amend
ments and it is the thinking of
the minority group which in
cludes Hounsell that the voters
would approve certain specific
amendments but might reject a
complete revision of the consti
tution because of objection to a
specific amendment or amend
ments. -,-,-T- -;:)
The report notes since its
adoption in 1857 the Oregon con
stitution has been amended more
than 90 times and says: "With a
few notable -exceptions, those
amendments t have . been" in the
nature of additional , detail, so
that in: the hydrogen " age" the
essential character of ; the docu
ment is of the horse-and-buggy
era. .. , ...
The report 'aid' that the Ore
gon constitution "is the twelfth
oldest, fifteenth longest, . and
eighth most amended of the state
constitutions." ,,
The majority report for a con
stitutional convention says "the
changes needed in our constitu
tion are of such importance and
so numerous that it is only pos
sible to achieve a unified, bal
anced, modern constitution by
means of a constitutional con

Russia Tells Plan
To Aid 5 Nations
In Atomic Energy
I United Nations, N. Y. (U.R)
Soviet Russia announced today
that it will aid five -Communist
nations to set up centers for re
search into the peaceful use of
atomic energy.
The announcement was made
only ' a few hours ' before the
opening here of a U. N. confer
ence on President Eisenhower's
"atoms for peace" plan. 1
Countries Named
.' "The Soviet government , , .
has decided to render scientific,
technical and industrial : assist-'
ance to other countries in estab
lishing experimental scientific
centers for the development of
research in nuclear physics and
the utilization of atomic energy
for peaceful purposes," the Mos
cow announcement said.
The countries to be aided are
Red China, Poland, Czechoslo
vakia, Romania and East Ger
many.'. . ' " : ' ;
Own Peace Plan Seen
- It was indicated that, in mak
ing the announcement, Moscow
might be trying to. take the dip
lomatic play away from the U.N.
meeting in which scientists start
ed discussing arrangements for
a world conference next summer
on Mr. Eisenhower's plan to pool
atomic resources for - peaceful
purposes. " ' ..
Soviet Russia has not yet
made it certain whether it will
take part in the plan. .

Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower said today
that he will have to ask Congress during fiscal 1956 for an
increase of at least $8,000,000,000 in the public debt limit. ;
Congres last year authorised a temporary increase of
$6,000,000,000. raising the ceiling to $281,000,000,000. ThU
terrorary increase -will expire June 30 and the statutory,

; Mr. Eisenhower called for legislation that would lead to a new
kind of tax. relief for 35,000,000. smaller taxpayers relief from,
the task of figuring out their tax returns. This would not become .
effective until 1957 'at the earliest. . - . . ; '.-
He asked for $12,000,000 in new money to provide closer audit

There were no other surprises in the message which reported
the world situation improved from the standpoint of free peoples -despite
setbacks in the past 12 months and the continued insecu

a dollars-and-cents warning that the world remains a dangerous
place in which to live. .
The major national security allotment included $2,000,000,000 J
for the Atomic. Energy commission, $3,075,000,000 for military

Three Basic Requirements for National Policies

rounded upon three basic requirements: u ,- ,-. - .
1. Defending the heritage of political liberty and personal free
