There's Still Time to "Get Aboard"
Ground Water in
Lens-Shaped Body
Near Coos Bay
Portland-OJPD-A report re
leased by the Interior depart
ment said today that the area
of sand dunes north of Coos
Bay constitute a source of
substantial supplies of fresh
ground water.
The report was prepared by
the U.S. Geological Survey in
cooperation with the Oregon
state engineer.
The report gives results of
an investigation started in
1954 by the Geological Sur
vey. The study, ana otners
made later by private firms,
led to construction of the first
industrial plant in the area to
be supplied with ground wa
ter from the dune sands oi
the Oregon coastal region.
The ground water is in a
wedge, or lens-shaped body of
dune sand that underlies an
extensive lowland north of
Coos Bay. The water-bearing
sand, which extends to depths
as great as 168 feet below sea
level, is underlain by imper
meable bedrock. The report
said the pore spaces that con
tain the ground water consti
tute more than one-third of
the volume of sand.
Data included in the report
Indicate that the ground wa
ter is replenished by the in
filtration of more than 75 per
cent of the rainfall, which
averages about 81 inches per
year. Most of the ground wa
ter discharges through springs
and seeps near the margins of
the dune area without being
used.
Throughout most of the
area, as much as two million
gallons of water per day per
square mile is available for
continual withdrawal.
The report said the uniform
grain size of the sand re
quires use of properly devel
oped screened wells to keep
out the sand and yet with
draw the water efficiently.
The water is soft, has a low
mineral content and is gener
ally of good quality.
Discoverer XIX
Loses Power
New Boston, N.H. -i lUPB -The
Air Force said today the
Discoverer XIX satellite has
lost its transmitting power.
Col. Nicholas Polio, oper
ations officer at the New Bos
ton radar satellite tracking
station, said its last contact
with the satellite was at 11;34
p.m. Christmas Day. He said
that was the satellite's 75th
pass around the world.
Polio said "after that it lost
its power and we suspended
our tracking operation." .
The base had been receiving
radiation data from the Dis
coverer since it was hurled
Into orbit last Tuesday from
Vandenberg Air Force Base in
California. The satellite was
spinning around the earth in
a pole-to-pole orbit every 93
minutes.
Reforms Recommended in
Federal Regulatory Bodies
Washington -OfPT- President
elect John F. Kennedy's first
effort to reform the federal
regulatory agencies is likely
to be aimed at raising their
ethics and wiping out "back
door" contacts, a Kennedy
aide said today.
Action along this line was
one of many far-reaching rec
ommendations to improve the
agencies laid before the President-elect
Monday in an 87
page report by James M.
Landis.
Hurry-Up Basis
A former dean of the Har
vard Law School and a mem
ber at various times of three
of the federal agencies, Landis
wrote the report for Kennedy
on a hurry-up basis after the
November election.
He called for appointment
of a regulatory agency "czar"
in the White House who would
oversee the activities of the
agencies in a "firm but friend
ly" way and exercise "imag
inative and creative" direc
tion. In vigorous, sometimes bit
ing language, Landis criti
cized the agencies and called
for major changes in their
procedures and personnel. He
advocated establishment of
new White House offices to
lay down clear-cut govern
ment policy in the communi
cations, transportation and
power industries.
The 29,000 -word report
sharply attacked the way the
agencies execute their duties
-or fail to-and what Landis
called their susceptibility to
improper influence from the
industries they regulate, the
White House and senators and
congressmen.
After reading the report,
Kennedy said, "this is a most
important and impressive
analysis of the regulatory
agencies which deserves the
attention of Congress as well
as the agencies themselves."
Kennedy's press secretary,
Pierre Salinger, said the re
port would form the basis of
legislative recommendations.
Landis proposed many steps
requiring congressional ac
tion. Some of these were ex
pected to touch off spirited
battles on Capital Hill.
Sanator Hails Study
Chairman John A. Carroll,
(D-Colo.), of a Senate judiciary
subcommittee set up last year
to study possible changes in
the regulatory agencies hailed
the Landis study as a "mas
terful and thought provoking
analysis of the deficiences
of the administrative pro
cedure." The regulatory agencies are
the Federal Communications
Commission, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the
Federal Power Commission,
the Federal Trade Commis
sion, the Civil Aeronautics
Board, the Securities and Ex
change Commission and the
National Labor Relations
Board,
