D.C.. by Con gressman Charles O. Porter. . in which he announced plant to introduce a bill to authorize construction of the rest of the Rogue River Basin Project, of which the Talent project so far is the only part under construction.) Congressman Charles O. Por ter this week disclosed his inten tion of introducing a bill to au thorize construction of the re maining features of the Rogue River Basin reclamation project. "I am presently working on the final draft of a bill to be in troduced this session which will authorize an overall basin plan, including both tributary and main stream works for which there is a pervading need," Rep. Porter stated. Rep. Porter noted that the Rogue River basin embraces all of Josephine county, nearly all of Jackson county, and a large part of Curry county and said, "Best use of the potentials of such development for economic purposes such as irrigation, flood control and power, will bring to this southwest corner of Oregon the pre-eminence destiny has long held in store for it. Bill Drafted. "At my request," the Oregon Democrat continued, "the De partment of the Interior has drafted a bill based on the 1950 report of the bureau of reclama tion, excepting those portions al ready authorized under the Tal ent Division act. A great deal of study has been given to the Rogue River basin since that time and I expect to have these results crystallized shortly and to make the necessary revisions to this bill. "I cannot overestimate the in creasing need for ana import ance of the full development of the basin to broaden and stabil ize the economic base upon which the people depend lor their livelihood," Porter said. 'Tremendous population rises the Rogue River basin have far outrun the resource develop ments capable of supporting that population permanently at an I adequate level of living.

Agricultural Development "Additional agricultural " de velopment is urgently needed and appears to be the only type of basic resource development available for establishing perma nent economic stability for the Rogue River basin," Porter em phasized, adding, "Furthermore, the only, feasible method of in creasing significantly the level of agricultural development, is through expanded irrigation. "Hydroelectric power produc tion and flood control can and should be important incidental purposes served by the facilities constructed primarily for irriga tion.

Crown Zellerbach Told To Sell St. Helens Mill Washington (U.R) A Federal Trade Commission examiner or dered the Crown Zellerbach Cor poration of San Francisco to sell St. Helens Pulp and Paper Com pany, a West Coast competitor it bought in 1953. FTC Examiner Earl J. Kolb ruled the acquisition violates the anti-merger law. Kolb said the stock purchase of the company by Crown Zel lerbach as substantially "less ened competition" and "tended toward monopoly" in the produc tion and sales of coarst papers in the West.

LOW IN PRICE extensive project with respect to flood control should not be un derestimated. Rogue river and its principal tributaries are sub ject to frequent floods. The ba sin faces very serious losses and substantial damage to the highly developed lands adjacent to the stream courses in the central, valley segment. "The flood of December, 1955 (another occurred in February, 1956) was the largest flood of record, resulting in damages ex ceeding that of any previous flood. Power Development "Hydroelectric power and flood control development have fallen far short of meeting the needs of expanded economy in the Rogue River basin. Arthur M. Piper, chairman of the Pa cific Northwest field committee, department of the interior, made this significant statement in Oc tober, 1956: " 'According to data prepared in 1950, the power industry within the basin consisted of five hdyroelectric plants of the California-Oregon Power company, a privately owned plant at Gold : Hill, a small municipal plant at ! Ashland, two small internal-combustion plants near Gold Beach, j and a few small plants installed by industrial firms to provide : power. Installed capacity was ; rated at 59,000 kilovolt-amperes , for a total annual energy output j of 385,100,000 kilowatt-hours Total energy requirements with- ! in the Oregon portion of the market area supplied by the. Rogue river and adjoining areas was 709 million kilowatt-hours j " 'Since 1950. even with new facilities constructed on the North Umpqua river by the Cal , ifornia-Oregon Power company, j local generating capability has fallen far short of the energy re quirement of the area. The defi cit has been made up by import ing power from the Copco sys tern in California and from oth er outside sources. " 'Additional generating ca pacity of nearly 700,000 kilo watts exist potentially in the Rogue River basin . . . Economic Justification "There is strong economic and financial justification for a com prehensive plan to attain the needed irrigation, power and flood control development in the basin. The benefit-cost ratio is very favorable," Oregon's fourth district representative noted. "I recognize the significant fish and wildlife resources and scenic grandeur of the Rogue River basin and the adjoining forest wilderness areas which not only serve the people who live here, but also attract visi- I tors from all over the west and j tne nation, and as such contrib ute to one of Oregon's greatest industries, our tourist trade. "My bill will take into ac count conservation of both fish and recreation resources," Por ter concluded. Negro Slays Reveler In MardiGras Parade New Orleans (U.R) A by stander shot to death a Tulane university student wearing a convict's suit in a crowd of costumed Mardi Gras revelers Tuesday night at the height of the pre-Lenten festivities. Police said August Joseph During, 27," Korean war veteran and an electrical engineering student, was shot down by a Negro armed with a .32 auto matic pistol and carrying a tam bourine. During, one of a group of students wearing broad-striped convict suits and masks, was snake-dancing in the street when one of his companions apparent ly jostled the Negro, who im mediately opened fire, police said. The Negro, identified as Joseph O. Jenkins, 25, was caught after a foot chase of sev eral blocks and held on suspic ion of murder. The pistol, with one bullet left, and the tambour ine was found tossed in a gutter.
