2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdford, Ongon, Sunday, March 22, Iff" Joint Development of Columbia Reported Cleared of Obstacles Washington-fUPD-A Colum bia river study group said yesterday there are "no seri ous conflicts" remaining be tween the United States and Canada over joint water re source development of the vast Columbia basin. The International Columbia River Engineering board made the optimistic report following two days of execu tive conferences in Chicago last week. In the past, Canada and the United States have had sharp differences over development of the Columbia river, which originates in the Dominion and flows through the Pacific Northwest. No Serious Obstacles But the International Co lumbia River Engineering board said in a report to the International Joint commis sion, a U.S.-Canadian agency, there are now "no serious physical obstacles to the co- Pear Blossom Festival Topic for Roundtable The Pear Blossom Festival and Sportsfair, which is sched uled in Medford the week end of April 11 and 12, will be discussed at the Jackson County Chamber of Com merce roundtable luncheon at the Jackson hotel Monday noon. John Watkins, chairman of the Pear Blossom Festival; Cliff McGinty, chairman of the Crater Lions club commit tee in" charge of the Sports fair; Miss Pat Rushton of Jacksonville, Miss Jackson County; and Miss Sportsfair, who was selected last night, will be present. operative developments stud ied by the board, nor are there many problems of con flicting interests of the two countries." The board, whose recom mendations will be taken un der advisement by the com mission, said further that it is "physically and econom ically feasible to develop a system of basin power plants that will produce an average of more than 16,000,000 kilo watts utilizing about 50,000, 000 acre-feet of storage. "In the United States, con tinuing economic development in the Columbia river basin quires further development of the river and major tributar ies for power and flood con trol purposes," the board said. Storage Projects "These objectives would be furthered by construction of storage projects on the Upper Columbia and Kootenay riv ers operated under Interna tional agreement. "In Canada the only imme diate market for large blocks of addition Columbia Basin power is located on the West Coast, involving extensive transmission facilities if this power is to be generated at Canadian projects in the ba and in the general region re- f sin," the report said. "More over tnere are no major flood problems in the Columbia Ba sin in Canada." The board added that "sub stantial blocks of power gen erated downstream in the United States from storage in Canada resulting from coop erative developments by the two countries could be readily absorbed by the growing power load in the Vancouver area of British Columbia."

The Seventh KMED Winner v- r Mil ': ' P-Kr J Own Legal Counsel Asked for Governor Salem-(UPD-A bill to give the governor his own legal coun sel was introduced in the House Friday by Reps. Ed Whelan (D-Portland) and Sam Wilderman (R-Portland). Under the bill the governor would have up to' $25,000 a binennium for legal advisors.

Single Entrance to Be Made at Diamond Lake Campground Continued operation of the Diamond lake overnight camp ing area on a charge basis was discussed at a meeting last week of forest service offi cials and the permittees, ac cording to Vondis E. Miller, forest supervisor of Umpqua national forest. The permittees, Larry Neely and Bill Cox, Medford, met with-Miller, Lands Assistant Ray Hampton, District Ranger Bob Leavengood and Recrea tion Assistant Bill Lowery "to make plans for better op erations and provisions for the camping public with im proved facilities and services this coming year," it was re ported. The one major change in operation of the campground as a result of the conference will be - establishment of a single entrance across the highway from the guard sta tion where each camping partly will be checked in and out of camp. All other en trances to the overnight area will be closed. Overcrowding Discussed Overcrowding far beyond the capacity and facilities of the camp, which has been the greatest problem during the past three years, occupied much of the group's discus sion. It was agreed that posi tive measures must be taken to reduce the number of campers in order to prevent destruction of the area and to give jcampers "a more enjoy able camping experience." Installation of additional sanitation facilities and more efficient servicing by better trained personnel were a part of the plan adopted. Miller said campers will be encouraged to camp only at designated spots having a table and stove.

Sweet Home Veneer Ruled T-H Violator Portland-CPC-Sweet Home Veneer corporation of Sweet Home violated the Taft-Hartley law, a national labor re lations board trial examiner ruled Friday. But the examiner recom mended dismissal of com plaints that the company had fired two employees because of union activity. The AFL-CIO Lumber and Sawmill Workers union brought the charge against the company. Examiner Martin S. Ben nett said the company com mitted unfair labor practice by preventing employees from engaging in union activities during non-working hours. He said, however, that evi dence did not support a claim by the union that the firm fired the two employees be cause of their union activities. .
