J. Hogue, Medford lumberman and chairman .of the governor's emerge nfcy transportation committee, said Saturday. "Shippers on Southern Pa cific lines in the southern half of the state," he said, "have received only 60 to 70 per cent of their normal requirements this week." 'The northern half of the state was faring a little better, he said. . He noted - that during the two preceding weeks, the northern half of the state was in a short supply situation. Local Districts Near End of 1959 Season For Irrigating Hand Talent, Medford and Rogue River Valley irrigation dis tricts are preparing to wind up the season's operations, district managers -reported Friday. J Talent- irrigation district is draining the Talent lateral from Sept. 11 to 15. Then, Emigrant reservoir will be drained o end the season, according to . Walter . Hoff trict manager. It will be drained through the district's ditches and water users can get their final irrigation then, Hoffbuhr said. , "Barring rain, Medford ir rigation district will run to Oct. 1," Jack Hoffbuhr, Med ford irrigation district man ager, said. "Heavy . fall rains before Oct. 1, may make it unnecessary for further irri gation," he added. 'Rogue Valley .irrigation dis- trict, which draws water from . Medford Irrigation district, has some old contracts which require delivery of water for stock as well as for irrigation, Hoffbuhr said. For Farmer. Too "As long as we have a man ' at - Fish lake and Four Mile lake to deliver stock water we might as well bring down water for the other farmers," the district manager said.- Now, near season's end, Medford irrigation ..district has 30 second feet, or less than a third of the normal flow at this time. Hoffbuhr said he is doing his best to pass it around. Once -the or chards are through irrigating, pastures will have sufficient water, he added. However, 'not enough water exists to cover the entire district. The problem will be to keep the pastures green until the first fall rain. Little holdover water sup plies exist for next year, Hoffbuhr said. Medford irri gation district sources are down to 2,718 acre feet and Fish lake, down to 330 acre feet. The last water at the bottom of the reservoir comes out slowly so not all of it can be brought out, Hoffbuhr said. Normal holdover is WEATHER FORECAST: Partly cloudy Mon day.

The 4,000-car surplus is considered somewhat more than is need ed to satisfactorily take care of Oregon shippers, he said. :j Closed Gateways "Accordingly," Hogue said, "in mid-July the Southern Pa cific closed the gateways with connecting railroads, and would not accept "foreign" cars whiclrt esulted in cutting down decidedly on the 4,000 car surplus." ; - roughly 10,000 acre feet, Hoffbuhr said. Rogue River Valley irriga tion district has roughly 10 per cent of. the holdover it had last year, according to Harold Sexton,, irrigation dis trict manager." Rogue River Valley district "shares one third of the water in Fish lake and Four Mile. Normal district operations mean con tinued irrigation until Oct. 1 or until fall rains come. Stock consumption of water is a small part of the total de mand, Sexton said. Usually fall rains .take care of nor mal ' stock demand, " he ex plained. C - - -. . .

The tour is held every oth er year,, with regular confer ences ir alternate year's with out tours, Hoffbuhr said. Included in lie three-day event, which starts Tuesday, are tours of 'facilities at Grants ' Pass, Eagle Point, Rogue River Valley, Medford, Talent and Klamath irriga tion districts: Highlighting Tuesday's events will be a talk by Dom iny at the Rogue Valley Coun try club, where H. T. Nelson, Boise, Idaho, the bureau , of reclamation's regional direc Meeting On Aug. 14, the SP recog nized : that the surplus had dwindled to a critical point, and again accepted all foreign cars available in order to build back an adequate - surplus to fake care, of Oregon shippers, he said. "They called on the Ameri can Association of Railroads for help in directing the other railroads in the United States to turn over additional empty cars to help them build back an adequate supply," Hogue said. Unfortunately, empty cars were not available to promptly build back an ade quate supply, and the short age has developed. In Close Contact Hogue said he has been in close contact with the car dis tribution office of SP in San Francisco, and connecting rail roads do. not have sufficient empty cars to turn over to SP in order to satisfy demand of Oregon shippers. Paul Miller, manager of the closed- car section of the American Association of Rail roads in Washington, D.C., has issued various service orders to railroads that subject to availability . they are to turn cars over as quickly as pos sible to Southern Pacific to remedy the shortage, Hogue said, i . . ; Miller reported over a week ago, however, that the nation-, al supply , of box cars was tight, and that there were no surplus box cars on any of the lines in the country. Statement Challenged Fred Carpi, vice president of Pennsylvania railroad in Portland, said the line has a surplus of 30,000 cars. But Miller' challenged i the statei ment , because, he said, the cars were " not ' suitable for Oregon shippers since they were essentially iron ore and steel cars , with ; a I high per centage of bad-order- cars - Hogue said one thing which has aggravated the car supply situation is the heavy grain movement in the northern part of the country, where some 1$,00Q box cars are out of use with grain storage. Hogue . said the governor's committee is doing what it can to improve the box car supply 'for Oregon shippers, but "the - fact remains that box cars are in tight supply nationally; and that: we can expect some box car short ages over the next few weeks." The committee urged Ore gon shippers to do what they can to help themselves during the shortage by loading all available cars to capacity, and load as quickly as possible to conserve car-days. The com mittee also urged receivers of freight to unload as promptly as possible so-the cars can be made available io shippers in the area. ' .

MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 3, 1 959 Nehru 'Tougher' In His Discussion Of Reds' Attacks India Never to Yield To Claims on Territory New Delhi-fDPD-Prime Min ister Jawaharlal Nehru got tougher Saturday in his talks about Communist Chinese at tacks on Indian soil. He called Red China an "aggressor" na tion and warned that India would never yield to Chinese claims on large areas of In dian territory. "It is absurd. It involves a fundamental change of geog raphy," Nehru told a heated session of parliament. He said India would not "resort to compulsion of force, whatever may happen," but "what we have to face today is a great and powerful na tion which is aggressive. It is aggressive with or without Communism." Belonging to India Nehru said recent maps is sued by the Peiping govern ment made it increasingly ap parent the Chinese are claim ing for the first time large areas belonging to India. In recent months the Chi nese have claimed 3,5,000 miles of Indian territory along the 1,250-mile border of India and Tibet, most of it is in, the northeast frontier agency -of India. - There is "no- question" of yielding to those ', claims, Nehru said. "A mile of terri tory here or there can be ad justed within the framework of, the McMahon line," Nehru said, but not much more. In dia recognizes the 1914 Mc Mahon line drawn by the British as . its northern bor der, but China does not. Rejects Suggestion Nehru rejected a sugges tion that India - "bomb" out Chinese troops still occupying Longju, in the northeast fron tier agency. , He j said India's approach .- to, the border -dispute' should be "peaceful, re strained, controlled ,but firm." . ' -,Y.;.''' : He admitted he had .been slow . in letting parliament wnow the seriousness of the border dispute, for he had hoped it might, be settled "without much publicity." -, But he said there was grow ing ' . evidence of ; a - "basic change in the Chinese attitude toward India." He said recent ly the Chinese had even com plained about the passage of a small Indian ship called the "Magar" through Chinese ter ritorial waters. Wright Slewed Of Embezzlement .

"One would be fullv Mus- tified in supposing that such an outstanding result has been achieved thanks to the Soviet scientific achieve ments in developing new " types of rocket fuel, he said. "Apparently the United Mates does not yet possess such a fuel, because this year it abandoned atterrmts to launch a moon rocket rfter its four failures between August and December 8, 1958. Tass said that preliminarv data obtained from process- ' lng telemetric information showed that all instruments in the rocket's container were operating normally. Gas tem If perature was between 68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit and the sealing of the container was intact, Tass said. The offocial Soviet an- : nouncements on the launch ing did not make clear wheth er the rocket was designed to land on the moon or go into orbit around the earth's satel lite. The Russian text of the announcment used a term which can be translated as ei ther "to" or "toward" the ' moon.. . Tass said the equipment packed capsule is designed to "investigate magnetic fields of the earth and moon, radiation around the earth, the varia tions and intensity of cosmic radiation and to study heavy nuclei in cosmic space and the gas components of cosmic matter." . . Radio Moscow reported last night that the rocket spewed a sodium vapor cloud to mark its trail as scheduled at 10:40 ajn. (PST) as it hurtled to ward . the constellation of Aquarius.
