Ten Plants Schedule Use of Steam Power Portland U.R) Ten of the 14 plants affected by Bonneville Power administration's 35 per cent slash in interruptible pow er have scheduled additional higher-cost power from steam plants to maintain full produc tion, a Bonneville spokesman said today. The power cut went into ef fect at 7 a.m. Monday because of low reservoir reserves and continued cold weather condi tions. The four industries which did not buy any new power are Electro Metallurgical company and Pennsylvania Salt company, Portland; Rayonier, Inc., Port Angeles, Wash., and the Victor Chemical Works, Silver Bow, Mont. Ample steam power exists in the area to make up for the cut, the BPA said, but it is more expensive. Medford united fres -t ull Leaked wire Tribune united fress iuli eased wire SECTION TWO MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1955 Pages! -6 Farmers Oppose Measure To Create Ground Wafer Code Salem U.R) A delegation of The Dalles farmers yesterday appeared at a Commerce and Utilities Committee hearing here to oppose enactment of a bill to create a ground water code ap plicable to the entire state. Paul Martin and E. C. Thomp son, spokesman for the group, said the bill did not offer ade quate protection for well owners who had made large investments in ground water systems. They said they feared they would be denied the water rights and pri orities to which they felt they were entitled on the basis of their investments. Need Seen for Code Martin said some 2000 to 3000 acres of land in The Dalles area are under irrigation from ground water. He agreed that there was a need for a code for conserva tion of the water but he said it should not be enacted without first protecting the prior rights of those already on the water scene. There has been no noticeable diminishing of flows from ar tesian wells around The Dalles where two of the state's largest artesian wells are located, Mar tin told the committee. Favored by Granges Elmer McClure, master of the Oregon State Grange, said the majority of local Granges favor ed a ground water code for west ern as well as eastern Oergon. The people of Oregon realize the time has come to face the prob lem of short water supplies, he said. He urged the committee not to delay or postpone action on the water resources bill, claiming deferment would only complicate the problem.

Defense experts have selected locations over a wide area north of Pennsylvania, west to Ohio and south to North Caro lina. Nearly 30 executive agencies which would have essential war time functions have been assign ed these "emergency relocation sectors" in which they would continue to operate. They range from 80 miles north and west of Washington to 200 miles south. No Congressional 'Hideout' Congressional leaders have not yet accepted an invitation from the Office of Defense Mo bilization to assign a hideout where the lawmakers would meet in emergency session. A small scale test of the out lying posts is scheduled this spring. About six persons from each agency will be dispatched to their emergency posts May 1 for a two-week tour of duty. An other "dry run" is scheduled June 15-16-17 in connection with a nationwide Civil Defense exer cise. The ultimate goal of the de fense planners is to have specially-trained staffs, which could take over in an emergency, per manently stationed at the outly ing posts. If there were advance warn ing of an attack, top officials and regular Washington em- Reader's Digest Takes Advertising New York U.R) The Read er's Digest appeared on news stands today with advertise ments for the first time in its 34-year history. Thirty full page ads and one two-pager, many in color at rates believed the highest for any magazine in circulation, are included in the April issue, grouped together in the front of the magazine and spaced through the book condensation in the back. Advertising will be limited to 32 pages during the first year. The magazine polled subscrib ers before deciding to include advertising father than raise the 25-cents-a-copy, $3-a-year sub scription price in effect since its founding. Advertising contracted for the coming year will gross about $11,000,000, the magazine said. ployees would start at once for the emergency locations. If the attack came before Washington could be evacuated, survivors would re-assemble in those loca tions as rapidly as they could. Centers Are Secret Most of the "relocation" cen ters are secret so far. An excep tion is the huge underground "Pentagon" in the mountains of the Maryland-Pennsylvania bor der which could accommodate the President and top military command. Others are in outlying govern ment installations and in col leges and universities. Defense planners consider colleges and universities particularly good sites because their dormitories and dining facilities. "The '"emergency relocation centers" are one part of the de fense planning for carrying on essential functions of govern ment in case of attack. Another is a plan to "dis perse" any new government building to prevent making the capital any more attractive a tar get than it already is. Taipeh, Fomosa (U.R) Mil itary sources said that there had been an "absolute lull" along the China coast for the past 48 hours. 93 MPH Winds Cross SoulheasfWashingfon Richland, Wash. XU.R) Sand laden winds howled across southeastern Washington's arid lands at as much as 93 miles per hour last night, closing highways and wreaking damage to farm lands and structures. Two outdoor theater screens in the Richland area were top pled by the gusts. The first screen to go was picturing Walt Disney's "The Living Desert." The cross-state highway 18 between Moses Lake and Ritz- ville was closed by drifting sands. Highway 395 between Pasco and Spokane was nearly impassable in the Connell area, and three accidents were caused by the near zero visibility. The Soil Conservation service reported heavy damage to new ly cleared farm lands in the Co lumbia River Basin project. The lands had just been leveled and the loose dirt was whipped up by the swirling winds. clear telephone across the COUntry for only $2S0 plus tax 1 $2. other rates from Medford dIus tax 2.20 plus tax 1.35 plus tax 1.10 plus tax First 3 minutes day "station" calL Night and Sunday rates are even lower.
