1850 Irrigation Acreage
Corvallis Oregon's irrigat
ed acreage will more than
double in the next half cen
tury, a group of Oregon State
college agricultural water re
O sources experts has predicted.
The group anticipates the
number Oof irrigated acreg will
jump from the 1,367,707 total
of 1950 to 2,83,877 by the year
2000.
Largest Increases
Increases will be largest in the
coast, Willamette valley and Co
lumbia basin areas. Compared
to 1950, the group estimates
irrigations-acreage b 2000 will
Increase almost 10 times in the
' Willamette basin, nearly double
in Southern Oregon, a half in
the Blue Mountain area, and a
fifth in Central and Southeastern
O Oregon.
nAbout half the total increased
irrigation acreage will be in the
Willamette Valley and almost a
5 fourth in the Columbia basin
counties. The remaining acreage
will be distributed as follows:
Central and Southeastern Ore
gon, 11 per cent; Blue mountain
area, about 10 per cent; Southern
. Oregon, 5 per cent; Coast area,
3 per cent.
Total acreage figures for the I
various areas follow with the
1950 total listed first and the
2000 forecast second: Willam
ette valley, 80,195, 782,995; Co
lumbia basin, 93,842, 431,592;
Central and Southeastern Ore
gon, 854,959, 1,023,879; Blue
mountain- areas, 260,003, 403,
753; Southern Oregon, 75,658,
142,188; and Coast Area, 10,050,
49,470.
Based en Census
Estimates were based on 1950
census reports of land under ir
rigation, and a 1952 report on
resource development published
by the national resources plan
ning board Adjustments were
made from recent survey figures
of the U. S. army engineers and
the bureau of reclamation. Data
were projected to estimate water
requirements and acreage under

Ranks of Marching
Funeral Procession

gas Saturday into the ranks of
thousands of persons marching
in a forbidden funeral procession
of the terrorist cousin of Greek

ing through a driving rain as

Plans Announced
For Development Off
Atom Powered Plane
Washington (U.R) The
Navy disclosed Saturday it has
stepped up its program to devel
op an atomic-powered seaplane
that could fly non-stop around
the world.
The Nayy said it has awarded
contracts to five firms to study
the problems of an atomic power
plant for a seaplane. The con-
New London, Conn.- (U.R)
Assistant Navy Secretary Al
bert Pratt predicted Friday
that the Navy will build only
atomic - powered submarines
after this year. .
Pratt, speaking to 121 grad
uates of the Navy's 101st Sub
marine officer class, predicted
thai no - more conventional
powered subs will have keels
after this year. He said - he
based his prediction on the
"enormous strides in the nu
clear power field."
tracts are preliminary to actual
development of an atomic re
actor which would give a sea
plane virtually unlimited range
at speeds in exeess of 600 miles
an hour.
Contracts Awarded
The contracts were let recent
ly to Allison Division of General
Motors Corp. -and Nuclear De
velopment Corp. of America,
White Plains, N. Y., the Navy
said. The Aircraft Gas Turbine
Division of General Electric Co.

A fifth contract was let to the
Air Research Division of Garrett
Corp., Los Angeles, Calif., to
study an atomic plane's auxil
iary systems such as heat, pres
sure and electricity.
The Navy already had let two
high priority contracts to Glenn
L. Martin Co. of Baltimore, Md.,
and the Convair Division of Gen
eral Dynamics Corp. for devel
opment of an air frame of an
atomic-powered seaplane.
Seamaster Exploded
Martin developed the Seamas
ter, a radical new multi-jet sea
plane which the Navy believes
will serve as a prototype of an
atomic seaplane. The first Sea-
master exploded and crashed on
a tpst flight last week, hilt the
Navy is pressing' ahead the pro
duction of more of them.
The new contracts show that
the Navy is stepping up its ef
forts in the race to develop an
atomic plane. Previously the
atomic plane project has been
handled principally by the Air
Force and the Atomic Energy
commission with the Navy in the
role of a cooperating participant.
Naval officials have predicted
publicly that the seaplane is
likely to-become the first . at
omic-powered plane. Air Force
officials have conceded that the
seaplane is a logical vehicle for
atomic power.

The Army said the soldiers
