The assessment did not tal ly with that of most non-Soviet reporters who watched the official ceremonies at An drews Air Force Base and fol lowed the presidential motor cade to Blair House. The estimated 200,000 civil ians who lined the route were civil, restrained and undemon strative. There was so singu lar display of either enthu siasm or hostility. Many citi zens appeared to be on the streets out of simple curiosity to see the world's number one Communist. Most Reserved deception - " It was probably the most re served reception the globe trotting Soviet premier has experienced in the course. f his wanderings from little Finland to subcontinental In dia. . ' Soviet observers here ap peared to be pleasantly sur prised by the lack of .hos tility such as might have been displayed had Khrushchev come here a year or so ago when American-Soviet rela tions were at their lowest point. .' At any rate the reciprocity conscious Russians were tak ing note of Khrushchev's re ception for use when Presi . dent Eisenhower visits the So viet Union. The official hon ors Eisenhower will receive in Russia later this fall unques tionably will be influenced by Khrushchev's experience here, SfllUfitd With Talki . Sources close to the Soviet delegation also indicated mod erate satisfaction, with the re sults of the two-hour White House talk between Eisenhow er and Kbrushcbev Tuesday, "ot too bad for a begin nine." said one Russian. He pointed out that the discus sions were business-like, frank, and friendly, .

"Irrigation development ac tually tends to alleviate the surplus problems by replacing such crops as wheat by other croDs as irrigation comes in. Columbia basin project ex perience shows that wnen long term crop patterns be come effective, the acreage planted to wheat will have been reduced about 90 per cent. Irrigated acreage tends to- grow green leafy foods, fruits and other health protec tion foods. The uoiumwa basin is becoming a diversi fied area." Cites Oregon Projects The commissioner cited two Oregon nroiects ud for ap proval by the bureau or rec lamation office in vvasning ton, D. C. The Agate dam and reservoir would place 1,800 acres of presently dry land under irrigation, he said. c.nxts nt this nroieet would be fully repaid by irrigation and power users. - Main feature of the Merlin district project is the Sexton reservoir on Jump Off Joe creek, Dominy said. The working partnership be tween the California Oregon Power company and the Eagle Point irrigation district is a fine thing, he replied in an swer to a question. ' More such partnerships Be tween power and irrigation in terests should be developed, he urged. ... Cost Per Acre Dominy learned from Man ager Ted Flury that per acre irrigation charges to the farm er had been lowered from $10 to $7.50 through financial aid from the power company in consolidating all drops into a nenstock which could be used for power purposes. Otherwise per acre charges would be $12 or $14, Flury said, ' . Congress naturally will be A PEACIIES.!

He said he would hesitate to point, a finger at any one group as the reason for delay ing -the Rogue River basin project approval. "Congress has too many other places to put funds and sees no reason to spend money on a project which is not sup ported by a majority of pub lic opinion," the reclamation commissioner said "It's not a question of which comes first, irrigation or fish. Reclamation brings better fishing. The Sacramento and Colorado rivers are good ex amples," Dominy said. Traces History Dominy traced the Rogue River valley history from the time Jediah Smith of the Rocky Mountains Fur com pany explored the area in 1825. By 1860 simple stream diversions were providing ir rigation for about 4,000 valley acres.. By 1890 about 17,000 acres were , under irrigation and fruit growing showed PO tentialities. . Organization of the Fish Lake Ditch company in 1898 was the beginning of attempts to secure a more dependable water supply. Following sev eral reorganizations the ditch company became the Rogue River Valley Irrigation dis trict. ' v . The Medford. Irrigation dis trict was formed, in 1917 fol lowing authorizing state legis lation. The Talent irrigation district is now .the largest of the three. It was organized to add to and improve irrigation facilities in the Rogue River valley, Dominy said. Private Capital Original canals, laterals and storage facilities in the dis tricts were all built with pri vate capital, Dominy narrated. None of the four storage dams cost more than a few hundred thousand dollars. The authorizing act for the Talent division on" Aug. 20, 1954, resulted from the. dis tricts need to meet fixed ob ligations plus deferred main tenance of depression and war years. That work now being done under contracts executed be ginning in 1955 will greatly improve the efficiency of ir rigation works and promote economy of operation," Domi py said. ''The Talent irrigation dis trict in 1956 executed a re payment contract which per mitted construction work on the Talent division of the Stocks Gain Ground Hew York -UPD- Dow Jones final stock averages Tuesday: 30 industrials 630.80, off 2.99; 20 rail roads 154.34, off 0.31; 15 utilities 86.91, off 0.78, and 65 stocks 209.40. off 1.03., Sales Tuesday were about 2,830.000 shares compared with 2,590,000- shares Monday- .

"These works include How ard Prairie dam and reservoir, the 16,000 kilowatt capacity Green , Springs power plant, a dam and reservoir on Keene creek, enlargement of Emi grant dam and other projects.

' : "I believe I did use the ex pression, but the way I used it was distorted-deliberately," Khrushchev replied. "What I meant was not physical burial but the historical course of development." - He then went on to say that just as capitalism succeeded feudalism because it was "more progressive," he is con fident that "socialism -.will take the place of capitalism." Khrushchev bristled at some of the barbed questions. He was particularly perturbed by the question: "How do you justify: Russian interference in Hungary?" "The question of Hungary has -stuck in some people's throats like a dead rat," Khru shchev replied gruffly. "If there is a desire that -our dis cussion take that kind of turn, we on our part could bring up quite a few questions of a sim ilar character." Khrushchev earlier toured the Agricultural Department's research center at Beltsville, Md., where he was welcomed by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson. Benson told the Soviet pre mier Americans believe that food "can be, and should be, an agency for peace." The Soviet leader was shown the famous Beltsville turkeys ' and declared: "The more turkeys we both have, the. better it will be for the Soviet' and capitalist world."

Ameri cans burst upon Moscow to day. ' - r. . . Glowing reports in the So-j viet press and on Moscow Ra dio of Premier Nkita Khru shchev's reception in Wash ington dissolved the tradition al aloofness toward foreign ers, " Even the Voice of America was allowed to report factu ally and in Russian the news of Khrushchev' arrival. For 10 years it has beeu jammed by Soviet stations. 'Liberation' Jammed "Radio Liberation" which mixed commentary, some crit ical, into .its newscasts on Khrushchev were jammed as J much as ever, before, a spokes-1 man for the American Com-j mtttee for Liberation said in New York. ! ' . Moscow Radio, after broad casting an account from Washington on Khrushchev's meeting with President Eisen hower, ended with a special weather forecast for the east ern part of the. United States (good)-the first time anyone could remember such an act. The usual stiffness toward foreigners began to unbend when the exchange of visits was announced. By the time Khrushchev landed, the feel ing was one of holiday mood. And with each passing hour of his visit .the feelings toward Americans became warmer. New Departures The .Russians regard the Khrushchev visit as a prelude to the end of the cold war and act as if restraints are now off. Their attitude seems to say: . "It's okay, now," There were new departures in re porting, and Tass, the official news agency, carried Eisen hower's welcoming speech in full. . The Soviet press told its readers today a "solid wall of 300,000 Americans" five Khrushchev "stormy applause and ovations" when he arriv ed in Washington. The reports described1 the Washington scene as one of overwhelming approval by mammoth, friend ly, handkerchief - waving crowds. -Washington was so packed with people, said the official government newspaper Izves tia, that "there was not even a place to drop an apple." "Long before the arrival of the airplane,, several thousand residents gathered to greet the head of Soviet power," Izves tia said. "Thousands of Amer icans expressed their approval by stormy applause." Chfildireini ISetiuirini To Hornb-IDainniGgedl School Houston, Tex. (DPD - Chil dren returned to classes at Edgar A.

He carried bis bomb in a big black suitcase and apparently touched it off with a timing device he work ed with his foot. -Killed Own Son Orgeron killed himself, his own seven-year old son, Paul, two other seven year old boys, a heroic school custo dian and a school teacher. He might have killed more but for the quick work of teachers who herded some of the charges back into the building when Orgeron, after trying to gather a group of ohildren around him, yelled that he had a bomb. One of the seven year old boys killed was Johnny C. Fitch, the grandson of Vice Adm. Aubrey W. Fitch, who was second in command to the late Adm. William Hal sey during the pacific fight ing in World War n. - The other victims were Bill Hawes, 7; custodian James A. Montgomery, 56; and the teacher, , Mrs. Jeannit A. Koulter, 56. So shattering was the blast that it was several hours be fore Orgeron's Identity could be established by fingerprint on a severed hand foifhd in the schoolyard. Head Blown Off Montgomery's head was blown off when he tried to rush the former convict. All of the injured were pu- pils except Mrs. R. E. Doty, the principal. She lost a leg while answering a summons to investigate a scene caused by Orgeron. Police found a note on the ground signed by P. H. Or geron. It said: . "I want Bobby (name Illeg ible) Orgeron, mother of mr son. Dusty Paul Orgeron. I want to return my son to her. I have tried hard to get the police department to re-, turn my son to her."
