I 1 i Is1SSIi - l Final Draft of Interstate Water Compact Adopted " Sacramento, Calif. (U.R) A final draft of an interstate com pact establishing a priority sys tem for allocation of the waters of the .Klamath basin was ad opted late yesterday by a joint commission. "It is a good, workable com pact," Bert Phillips, chairman of the California Klamath , River commission, and Nelson Reed, chairman of the Oregon commis sion. ' To Provide Water The company was designed to provide water for 300,000 acres of potentially irrigable land outside the Klamath Prpject of the Bureau of Reclamation. Some 200,000 acres were in Cal ifornia's Siskiyou county and the remainder in Oregon. The two chairmen said the compact provides allocation of water on the basis of three acre feet of water per acre of land per year. The diversion for the Butte Valley in Siskiyou county would be made from the Klam ath river between Keno, Ore., and Klamath Falls, Ore. System of Priorities The compact would establish a system of priorities for water use. First priority was given domestic and municipal use. Ir rigation was second; recreation, third; industrial, fourth; power, fifth; and all other beneficial uses were given sixth priority. Allocation of the water would be under the control of a perm anent seven-member Klamath Commission. The commission would consist of the state en gineers of each state, two com missioners from each state, and a non-voting federal representative. you can't beat it! j Youll score high as a host if you stake your guests to the best-Hill and HUH 0 ciaiii'i' r $080 $435 PT. 1 45 QT. KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY HILL 4 HILL COW DIVISION OF NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CO BP, LOUISVILLE, KEHTUCK1 86 PE00& Portland Traction Control Questioned Portland (U.R) City Com missioner Nate Boody said today that denial of a franchise renew al to Portland Traction company did not mean that a bid by the firm for a new franchise would not be considered, providing it has local financial control. . The city council voted yester day to deny the traction com pany, as presently constituted, a 10 year renewal of its franchise. The franchise expires Jan. 31, 1956. Boody, who recommended the denial, emphasized that finan cial control of the firm centered in San Francisco. He said offi cers must often consult officials of the Portland Transit company in the California city before making decisions. He expressed belief that a local management would be "interested in taking over the mass transit business here. . . Gordon Steele, president of the traction company, stressed interest in preserving jobs and retirement and disability bene fits of the company's 826 em ployees and ,289 pensioners or disabled employees. "I am most apprehensive that if any other operator came to Portland the welfare of these people would not be important to them," he said. Program Designed To Undermine Red Propaganda Moves Washington (U.R) The State Department is quietly sending famous Negroes .as good will ambassadors to countries where U. S. race relations have been under heavy Communist propa ganda fire. . The program, launched without fanfare about two years ago, has already had "amazing" re sults, officials said today. In several cases, the depart ment has found that a single visit from an outstanding Ameri can of Negro or Oriental descent has done more to win friends for the United States than for mal diplomacy or handouts of economic aid have been able to do. Under Exchange Program The goodwill envoys include people like Jesse Owens and Harrison Dillard, the great Ne gro Olympic champions; Carl Rowan, Negro journalist chosen as one of America's 10 outstand ing young men in 1953; and Dr. Sammy Lee, Korean-American who was a two-time Olympic diving champion. These and others have been sent abroad in the past two years under the State Depart ment's educational exchange program as specialists in their fields. Most" have traveled to ccuntries where dark-skinned people live. No Speeches They don't make propaganda speeches defending America's race relations. But because of the success they have enjoyed in America, they provide living refutation of Communist claims that minority groups in the Unit ed States are ruthlessly perse cuted. The State Department empha sizes that no one has been sent abroad under the- educational exchange program simply be cause of his color. The-Negroes and Oriental - Americans who have gone to Asia and Africa, it says, were picked because they were highly qualified in their fields and were able to take American know-how ' to coun tries where it would be wel comed. For example, Jesse Oweis, who was called "the world's fast est human" when he was break ing Olympic records, went to India this month not as a famous Negro' nor even as a track star, but as a recognized authority cn caring for underprivileged children. For years, Owens has devoted his life to 1500 youngsters in a Southside Chicago youth cjub. India has thousands of homeless children roaming the streets of its cities. Tremendous Reception . The tremendous reception which Owens got in New Delhi on his arrival there early this month prompted a New York Times correspondent to write: "As far as plain, old fashioned goodwill propaganda goes, send ing him here may turn out to have been a small inspiration." Here are some other examples of why the State Department thinks the program is paying off: Dr. Lee, the little Korean American from Pasadena, Calif., visited neutralist Burma during a Southeast Asia tour for the State Department. Burmese Prime Minister U Nu Dlanned to make only a brief courtesy appearance at Lee s diving exhi bition in Burma but became so interested he stayed a full hour to shake the diver's hand after- Five Children Perish In Shanfyiown Blaze Noblesville, Ind. (U.R) Five small children were burned to death today when fire swept their small home in a shanty town section of Noblesville. The children were brothers and sisters in the Tom Malone family. Malone was burned seriously trying to save the youngsters. He and his wife, mother of the tots, were taken to Riverview hospital, the mother near col lapse from shock. Portland To House Supersonic Jets Portland (U.R) The air base at Portland will soon be the headquarters for a squadron of supersonic jets, according to Maj. Gen. Roy Henry Lynn, new commander" of the joint western air defense force. Lynn announced plans for the new equipment while on an in spection tour here yesterday. At the same time, he quieted rumors that the 460th fighter intercep tor squadron would be trans wards. As part of the program, the State Department also has sent top officials from Puerto Rico. And one American Indian sculptor Solomon McCombs of Eufalla, Okla. has also made a tour. Nixon Points To Worker Prosperity New York (U.R) Vice- President Richard M. Nixon said last night wage earners never had it better than under the Eis enhower administration. He cited the prosperity of the nation's workers in answer to Democratic charges that the ad ministration's economic policies were progressive and humanitar ian without being socialistic. The vice-president, speaking at the annual dinner of the New York group of the Investment Bankers association of America at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, said "dynamic conservationism will meet the needs of the people far more effectively than" static federalism." "American wage earners to day have more jobs at higher wages, with greater purchasing power and less strikes than at any time. in history, and they have peace to boot," Nixon said.
