In a letter to Lt. General Walter K. Wilson Jr., chief of engineers, Department of the Army, Secretary Udall noted that the recommended plan of development provides for con struction of three multi-pur pose reservoirs at the Lost creek, Elk creek and Apple- gale sites for flood control and other purposes. The proj ect would be constructed and operated by the Corps of En gineers, according to a copy of the letter from Sen. Wayne Morse. , Saturday Senator Morse Alcatraz Convicts Believed Escaped San Francisco-iUPIl- Author ities worked on the assump tion today that three bank robbers who disappeared from Alcatraz have become the first known to escape from the island "rock" in its 28-ycar history as home of the nation's most dangerous convicts. There was still no indica tion whether the three men were alive or had perished in the treacherous waters that surround the federal prison in San Francisco bay. However, the three con-, victs-who apparently worked for months to dig through the concrete wall? with spoons and fashioned life-like heads of plaster to leave in their bunks - were considered too smart to waste that effort on the slim chance that they could swim the tricky tides and undercurrents of the bay. An extensive search by land, sea and air units at the prison and on nearby islands was conducted during the 24 hours following the escape Monday night but no sign of the three missing men was found. V m, .A. AROUND THI OLOM NAM prepare for a surprise attack Scenic Oregon (Oregon State 5t v. notified Ben Hilton, president of the Rogue Basin Flood Con trol and Water Resources as sociation of Udall's approval of the project. The Interior department was the last of the federal and state agencies to give the required okay. Goes to Budget Bureau The proposal now goes to the bureau of the budget be fore reaching the House of Representatives. Udall pointed out that oper ation of the reservoirs de serves further consideration. Recreation, fish and wildlife enhancement, h y d roelectric power, and irrigation will provide more than 70 percent of the benefits, he noted. Use of single purpose storage for flood control is not required. "The bureau of reclamation has been and is currently en- gaged in comprehensive irri-1 cation development in the Basin. Substantial additional costs of up to S50.000.000 will be incurred in utilizing the water conserved in the reser voirs for irrigation. Dictated By Requirements "Under the proposed plan, basic releases would be dic tated by fishery requirements. Incidental to this criterion, normal operation of the reser voirs on a day-to-day basis would be determined by irri gation and power require ments. From this viewpoint, operation of the reservoirs by the bureau of reclamation would be desirable," Udall said. It was also pointed out that the district engineer had sug gested that no construction be undertaken until the Interior department had signed con tracts for repayment of the cost of irrigation storage ca pacity. Udall verified the im portance of the restriction on construction and recommend-! ed its inclusion in appropriate! legislation. Udall advised that the cost i of mitigation of damages caused by the projects to fish and wildlife are considered as u,j ...u .c the Fish and Wildlife Coordi nation act, such costs on bureau of reclamation proj ects have been allocated to fish and wildlife and consider ed nonreimbursable. Consideration of the min eral resources in the area also has been requested by the ! bureau of mines.

Highway Commission Photo) ! Morse Attacks Task Force on Lumber Problems Washington-IDPII - An inter agency task force established last month at President Ken nedy's request to study prob lems of the lumber industry in meeting Canadian compe tition came under sharp at tack today from Pacific Northwest senators. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), who appeared before the Sen ate Commerce committee, de nounced tne action as "a run around" and "a worthless ap proach." Might Oppose Morse said action was need ed immediately to prevent "the liquidity of tile lumber industry" and served notice he might oppose Kennedy's foreign trade program if the (industry were not aided. The committee, under the I chairmanship of Sen. Warren :G Magnuson (D-Wash.) is tending a series of hearings ion the impact of lumber im ports on the domestic indus try. Bearing the hrunt of the criticism was Assistant Secre tary of State G. Griffith John son, the first of several admin istration officials called to testify. Johnson told the committee that the state department was "sympathetic" to the indus try's problems but warned against any "precipitous ac-' tion" in imposing quotas or tariffs on Canadian lumber.

Highway Salcm -H'Pli- The Oregon highway department indicat ed today a recommendation to detour traffic around the stale's old ferry system at As toria at peak traffic periods has been scuttled. And a :pukcsman said that "perhaps we were in error in putting this in the report lo the governor." This was an understatement, since earlier in the day Gov.

Allegedly Caught The two officers had faced possible prison sentences and dismissal from the service for beating a Korean houseboy al- legedy caught in the act ol stealing in the 1st Cavalry Di vision compound. Swanson and Wilde said they had followed verbal in structions from higher author ities in trying to discourage theft by Koreans which they described as "beyond belief. Their starid was supported by their commanding officer. Did Wrong Swanson. a West Point graduate and former infantry company commander, told the court he thought the beating was justified at the time "but now I realize I did wrong. -He said everything we tried before to stop thievery was to no avail." He said he thought it was his duty to fol low instructions from higher authority to stop theft. 'But I certainly didn t mean to be cruel," he said. Wilde, a reserve officer who served as Swanson s execu tive, said the beating incident occurred because of "great frustration" on the part of his unit to control theft, i Portland Slayer Faces Execution Portland - fUPfl - Richard B.
