Reuther, also head of the Unit ed Auto Workers, said the AFL- CIO should give "decent ele ments" within the Teams'ters an opportunity to clean house. If this is not done, he said, the Teamsters should be expelled from the parent organization and a rival union created to embrace non-corrupt rank and file members.

Head Against Window Nash was sleeping with 4iis head against the window of the U.S.-built Super-G Constellation when the glass gave way 25 miles south of the Iraq "oil capi tal" of Kirkuk. The rush oi air out of the pressurized cabin sucked him with it into the icy substratosphere. The window blew but with a shattering crash, and the 40 below zero temperature of the. outer air caused a dense" fogr in the 70-degree warmth of the cabin. In the excitement, no one no ticed immediately that Nash was missing. His seat-mate was in the washroom when the win dow failed.

The canal was opened last week, and most of the week was devoted to flushing it out after being empty all winter. Water is expected to arrive in the district proper this evening, and for the next few days the lateral deliv ery canals will be cleaned and flushed Hoffbuhr said. Water users can have water late in the week if needed, he said. Most of the valley soils are still wet, but a few users, on the east side of the district will need irrigation water soon, Hoff buhr reported. Delivery of water is later than usual this year, the manager in dicated, because of heavy pre cipitation so far this season. Hoffbuhr said he expected it to be a "fair to middling" irriga tion water year, with supplies ample during the first part of the irrigation year, but possibly some curtailment near the end. only that "we saw nothing." The only traces of Nash re maining in the cabin were a shoe, two cameras and a fez he had bought in Iran. Nash was on a leisurely world tour. He had spent several days in Karachi, Pakistan, before boarding the plane that carried him to his death. WINNING k 1 Vv S IS YOUR EETIREMENT THE ONE THAT GOTAWiff?
