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.

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.
