Authorization of
Rogue Basin Plan
Secretary of Interior Stew

that Congress authorize the
Rogue Basin projects in south
ern Oregon.
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

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.

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

Task Force on

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

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

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.

Seoul, Korea (UPD - A U.S.
military court today imposed
reprimands and fines of $600
on two Army officers and
suspended them from com
mand for six months for beat
ing a Korean theft suspect.
The nine-man general court-
martial deliberated more than
an hour before announcing
the decision against 1st Lt.
David W. Swanson, 25, Gales
burg. 111., and 1st Lt. Thomas
M. Wilde, 25, Wadsworth, 111.
Both officers had pleaded
guilty.
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

The verdict, which came on

The sentence carries an au

Plea to Arbitrate
Major Strike Now
Appears Likely
Washington - O-PIi Nego
tiations between the flight en

lines collapsed today despite
a last-minute appeal by Pres
ident Kennedy. The union's
president said a strike appear
ed likely.
Labor Secretary Arthur J.
Goldberg announced that the
engineers rejected Kennedy's
plea to submit the 2-year-old
dispute to arbitration.
Mediation Efforts
After the b r e a k-up of
around-the-clock mediation ef
forts, Ron Brown, president of
the union was asked whether
a strike would be called.
"It would certainly appear
so at this time," he replied.
Brown added that no further
bargaining sessions were plan
ned. The chief issue in the dis
pute was the airlines' plan to
reduce jet cockpit crews from
four to three men. But1 a
union spokesman said Wed
nesday night there had been
no agreement on wages,
hours, working conditions, or
crew qualifications, either.
Full Report
Brown set no time for a
walkout on grounds he and
other union officers wanted
to make a full report to the
membership even though a
strike authorization has been
voted.
The union has warned that
its 1,700 members who work
for Pan American, Eastern
and Trans World airlines
would strike unless the cur
rent contract talks produced
a settlement.
Ashwer Schwartz, counsel
for the union, said arbitra
tion of all issues as proposed
by Kennedy, would be "indus
trial suicide. He added that
the union, had offered to arbi
trate on economic issues but
not the key questions of crew
make-up.
