Impoundment Set At 4,600 Acre Feet (Continued from Page 1) bursable costs based on pay The reservoir would be be-fments from irrigation over a hind an earth-fill dam, and ! 50-year period, to begin after would have a 4,600-acre-foot; le" Pfd f devflop- impoundment. Most of would lie in section 25 ment, and that financial as- i sistance sufficient to retire the of i portion of reimbursable costs it township 36 south, range 1 i lying beyond the water users' west TO, southeast of Eagle Point and northeast of Eagle ford. The tip of tne lake would be in section 36. and the di version dam would be in sec tion 30. While the preliminary plans are complete, the project will have a long way to go before construction can start. It has the recommendation of the regional office of the bureau of reclamation, but it must also be approved at the Wash ington level before it can be presented to Congress. Once authorized by Congress, detailed planning could begin, and construction started after initial Congressional appro priations are made. This could be anywhere from one to four years, depending on the degree of support the project receives, and the willingness of con gress to approve it. Irrigation, Recreation The project would have neither flood control nor pow er bencfit5, and is classed as an irrigation and recreation project. It has been reviewed by the U.S. fish and wildlife service in consultation with the Ore gon state game commission, and the service's recommenda tions are a part of the favor able report. The national park service also has approved the proposal, and has made recom mendations for limited recrea tional development. The Army engineers have been consulted, and have no objections to the project. The report recommends a repayment plan for the reim- repayment ability be made available through net power revenues from the Green Springs power plant. Part of Original Plan The project is a revision of a part of the original plan for development of the Rogue basinf of which the Talent pro ject is a part), but the report points out that, its construc tion would not preclude de velopment of the river if other segments of the basin plan are ever put into effect. Sexton said that the board of directors of the district, and the landowners in the area, are strongly in favor of the project. Two Drivers Cited After Accident Two drivers were cited Sat urday afternoon following a car-truck collision on the East Evans Creek rd., about five miles from Rogue River, state police said. Ivar J. Blakmore, Napa, Calif., was cited for failing to signal, and Earl Tipler, Jack sonville, was cited for follow ing too close, officers said. The Tipler car was east bound behind the truck when the truck attempted to make a .right turn into a private driveway, state police said. The car collided with the truck. Minor damage resulted.

A Chicago baseball writer thinks Lard ner's most memorable crea- tion was the stranger who bobbed up at the wedding of a drug tycoon and Hugga Much, an Eskimo beauty queen. The stranger turned out to be the electric chair tester at Sing Sing, whose . duty consisted of sitting in the chair just before an exe cution, and telling the elec trician whether the current was just right or a teentsy- weentsy bit too strong. In 1893. a printer named Humphrey O'Sullivan had an inspiration. He invented the "rubber heel" to make walking easier. Some time later, observes Sam Himmell, a designer of women's shoes had an inspiration that proved even more successful. She invented "high heels" for young girls so they wouldn't be kissed on the fore head. C 1939. by Bennett Cerf.

Daugherty Lumber company, White City, for authority to impair standard railroad clearances at a loading dock and shed has been granted by Public Utility Commissioner Jonel C. Hill. Hill also granted the White City Terminal and Utility company, which operates switch engines in the White City industrial area, to oper ate over the tracks under con ditions of impairment. The building and trackage which serves it were con structed during World War II, Hill noted, and because of the emergency conditions existing, no attempt was made to comply with state regula tions regarding impairments. Hill said the impairments are of such a nature as to be almost impossible to correct and do not constitute an un due hazard to the utility com pany's switching operations. A recent investigation by the commissioner's staff dis closed the unauthorized impairments. MeCONE REVO VERING Los Angeles-(UPD - Atomic Energy Commission Chief John A.
