UPI Correspondent
Washington (OPD Soviet
sources here have expressed
satisfaction with Washington's
official and populah reception
of Premier Uikita Khru
shchev. - " ' - ' - '
Soviet correspondents cov
ering the premier's visit de
scribed the reception as "warm
and friendly" in their reports
to Moscow.
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, .
The whole catalogue of in
ternational problems was re
viewed and will be discussed
again today when Soviet For

Irrigation Tends
To Cut Surpluses,
Commissioner Says
(Continued from Page 1)
The uercentaee of govern
ment supported crops grown
on all reclamation projects
are wheat, 2.2 per cent; up
land cotton, 2.3 per cent; corn,
.8 per cent, gram sorgnums
.8 per cent, and no tobacco.
"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, ' .

slow in approving any project
when local groups cannot
solve their differences over
proposed development, Dom
iny said.
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

Khrushchev Says
His Expression
Was Distorted
(Continued from Page 1)
A reporter asked - Khru
shchev whether it was true
that he recently boasted to
an American visitor: "We will
bury you." ' :
"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."

Melt Aloofness .
Moscow-fliPD-A new era of
good feeling toward. 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."

es today even though win
dows in the school were shat
tered by Tuesday's blast that
tossed bits of human flesh
on children at play. -
The madman was Paul Har
old Orgeron," a 49-year-old
former convict. 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."
