(U.R) -- Inter ior Secretary Douglas McKay aid today that reclamation pro- , jects have "proved an astonish ingly good cash investment for the federal government. In a speech before the 24th atv nual convention of the National Reclamation Assn., McKey said "It is utterly amazing to. me that the values achieved through reclamation . works are chal lenged. He added that it also is sur prising that "anyone could even remotely argue that this admin istration is against continuation of the partnership act of 1902, which is productive .of such values." Entire West Benefits The reclamation act, he said, made the federal government a partner of Western states and of local people "directly concerned with a particular reclamation project." . "Over the years," McKay said, "projects have been built and placed in operation until there is not a Western state which has not benefited from this partner ship. ", The present administration, McKay said, has "reversed a trend . toward complete federal responsibility and consequent control and domination of water resources." The federal government, Mc Kay said, should proceed with an orderly program of harness ing rivers and streams. Mora Expensive 7 McKay predicted future recla mation projects will be generally "much more" expensive than in the past. But, he said, reclama tion works which are not feasible by today's standards Will be necessary and essential in the future. He said revenue from the sale of power, made possible by pro- McKay on BUY THE NEW Quick ttecovMY AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC G E Water Heater Wash a Load of Clothes EVERY HOUR -All Day Long ONLY $5.00 A MONTH NOTHING DOWN HOME APPLIANCE 115 EAST MAIN, ' Authorized Dealer CENERAl ELECTRIC Water Heaters ; jects,- will help pay for much of the expense of the projects "As an example," McKay said, "we have unqualifiedly support ed the great Colorado River Stor age Project." Revenue from pow er plants in connection with fa cilities built will be used to as sist in the repayment of the cost of several associated irrigation projects, he said. Lincoln Official's Home Now Museum Auburn, N.Y. (U.R) The home here of William H. Sew ard, who was Secretary of State under President Abraham Lin coln, will be opened soon as a museum. Twelve of the mansion's 40 rooms are being restored and will be opened to the public. The house was started in. 1816-17 by Judge Elijah Miller and was enlarged during the years after 1824 when Seward married the judge's daughter, Frances. . The restoration was undertak en to show family life from the time the original house now the northeast corner of the man sionwas built to the Victorian era of Seward and his sons. . The library, which became Seward's working room, still contains the bust of Lincoln which Seward could see from the couch on which he died .on Oct. 10, 1872. Also in the room is the writing chair Seward used as three-time governor of New York, U.S. senator and secretary of state. , In a Civil war room is the sheet that was slashed by a would-be assassin of Seward the night Lincoln was fatally wound ed. There also is a case of notes signed "A. Lincoln" that shows him as the joking friend, a 'poli tician worried over patronage problems and a wartime admin istrator. The mansion's so-called dip lomatic gallery is hung with 132 portrais of world rulers and dip lomats with whom Seward dealt. The Emanuel Leutze painting of the signing of the purcahse of Alaska, possibly Seward's greatest achievement hangs in the place of honor.

Reclamation Group Differs With Report Lincoln, Neb.. (U.R) The board of directors of the Na tional Reclamation Association and the association's Water Poli cy Committee were on record as sharply disagreeing witji the Hoover. Commission report on reclamation today as the associa tion's annual convention opened here. . 1 The directors and the com mittee met here yesterday to complete work on the commit tee's report, which will be pre sented to the 24th annual con vention.' The Hoover Commission, said the Water Policy ' Committee, implied "that reclamation is an unjustified subsidy shouldered by the nation's taxpayers."
