Nimum 000'000'L E SINBD Land-Hungry Of Wresting Tokyo (U.R) Land-hungry Japan dreams of wresting from the sea an area half the size of that which the Netherlands has reclaimed since 1200 A.D. If it carries out the project, Japan will owe its success to the famed dykes of Holland, which is providing the inspiration and the example. : Site of the dream the scheme is not even on paper yet is the Ariake Bay of Kyushu, south ernmost of Japan's four big is lands. Ariake bay is on the opposite side of a 25-mile-wide peninsula from Nagasaki and Deshima, which was the site of the Dutch trading post and the only con tact between Japan and the West during 200 years of feudal isolation. Dutch Methods In its most ambitious aspect, the vision calls for turning 170, 080 hectares of sea bottom into fertile farmland. It would be done with Dutch methods, test ed in the Zuider Zee, and with Dutch advice. Proof that the Japanese are taking' the dream seriously is the plan they have laid for re claiming 10,000 hectares in the Haciro-gata Lagoon of Akita Prefecture in the north. This project, due to be started late this year, will be the test of the feasibility of the giant Ariake bay scheme. Land reclamation is not new to Japan. Japanese claim to rank with .the Dutch in pioneering de velopment of farmland from seas, lakes and bogs. Financing a Problem History books tell of reclama tion plans in the 9th century. Ja panese are engaged today in var ious stages of projects to re claim 30,000 hectares of sea and lake bottom. The Dutch have re claimed 365,000 hectares since 1200. The most ambitious of the present Japanese projects is at Kojima Bay, in Okayama Pre fecture, where Japanese engin eers are building up 5,540 hec tares of choice farming and in dustrial land. Financing land reclamation is the chief problem. Parliament gave the government $8,300,000 in 1955 for reclamation projects. The agriculture and forestry ministry wants more in 1956. Waller Williams Not Governor Candidate Washington U.R) Under secretary of commerce, said Sat urday he definitely is not a can didate for public office.

He made the statement when asked to comment on a report in Washington that he would be available for the state's top job. He said he was invited to speak before the Spokane coun ty Republican organization last August as a "candidate for gov ernor." "At least of now four months later there is no rea son for the circumstances to change," he said. lie 11 II- OO C r ' OO CENTS ? r S3 ' 0,HE$ , C5?i- mm Slabs and Rough Blox Dandy to Burn with Dry Wood Big Double Load or Single Load EDFORD Tel. 2-2111 - -v filtfEZlCAWS HAVE BEEN FIGHTIWe POLIO THEOUGW THS MABCH Or DIMES SINCE: -1 1776 ?I908 ' 1946 ?

Power Spokesman Says Idaho Firm Should Use Atoms Washington (U.R) A pub lic power spokesman said Sat urday that Idaho Power com pany could save more than $1, 000,000 a year by building an atomic power plant instead of the largest of its proposed three Hells Canyon dams. Managing Editor Ron Ross, writing in the magazine Public Power, quoted a General Elec tric cbmpany spokesman as stating in 1954 that his company was planning an atomic power plant which would produce elec tric energy for 6.7 mills per kilowatt-hour. Ross said power from the Idaho company's proposed Brownlee dam, the largest of the three, would cost 7.6 mills per kilowatt-hour. "Thus," he said, "it would ap pear that Idaho Power could save well over $1,000,000 per year by constructing an atomic power plant instead of Brownlee dam." Cost of Power "Ross said the cost of power from all ' three company dams has been calculated by the staff of the Federal Power commis sion at 6.69 mills per kilowatt hour, or one-thousandth of a cent less 'than the General Elec tric official's estimate for an at- Push Into Suburbs Brings New Problems Chicago (U.R) The steady push of urban populations into the suburbs has produced a host of new problems, according to Mrs. Rollin Brown, president of the National Congress of Par ents and Teachers. "Things have not always been what families expected when they hopefully moved out to new homes," Mrs. Brown said. "Many young families find themselves isolated in the su burbs, and they aren't quite sure what to do about it. The PTA is, in a position to bring hese people into closer relation ship with their communities." Mrs. Brown said the most common problems facing the suburbs are: overcrowded, some times understaffed, schools; lack of adequate medical service, parks and other recreational fa cilities; sometimes inadequate police and fire protection and overtaxed transportation facili ties.

(International) Haystack Monument Center cf Attention Williamstown, Mass. (U.R) Haystack Monument will be the center of attention here this year.
