That would be il legal. But if persons 1 rft make a vol untary contri bution, there's nothing wrong with sending him a compli- ncntary ticket Everyone got that straight? Very well. Anyone who happens to contribute $100 or more to the Democratic National com mittee between now and Jan. 18 is in luck. On the latter date, a group of big name entertainers will assemble at the D. C. Armory here for two hours of fun and games. And, by an odd co incidence, tickets to the show will be distributed to the party donors. The event will be called an "Inaugural Anniversary Sa lute to President Kennedy," and the proceeds or rather the contributions will be applied against the campaign debt. I learned all of this at a sort of a news conference held in the office of Demo cratic National Chairman John Bailey. I call it a "sort of a news conference" be cause songwriter Richard Adler, who is producing lhe show, candidly admitted that ho was holding some thing back. Adler explained that he wanted to save some Informa tion for another news confer ence later. If this technique becomes widespread, I'm go ing to give up my salary and start working on space rates. In Chairman Bailey's chair sat Danny Kayc, who will be one of the stars of the show. Next to him sat Carol Burnett, who will be a co-star. Miss Burnett said that she planned lo do a comedy sketch. "Of Jacqueline Kenne dy?" someone asked. "No," she replied. "Of Macaroni." Kaye said he didn't plan to do anything funny. "I travel with a symphony orchestra nowadays," he said. "I do classical music and Bib lical readings." One of the more penetrat ing reporters among us want ed to know if Kaye and Miss Bu nett were Democrats. -,ls the Pope Catholic?" re plied Miss Burnett. Adler, who wrote the music for "Pajama Game" and a couple of other hit shows staged a similar political pro duction in New York last year and raised about a million dollars. Watermaster System In Oregon Boosted By New Legislation Water is the key to the de velopment of a state or area and a watermastcr is the key man in distribution of water, according to State Engineer Chris L. Wheeler Speaking on a symposium of Oregon s water resources, Wheeler told delegates to the Oregon Reclamation Congress here that a bill sponsored by the ORC helped considerably to strengthen the watermastcr system in Oregon The ORC sponsored bill in troduced at the last legislative session would have provided for payment of all expenses of the state's watermasters, he Recreational Opportunities at Projects Recognized by Bureau Recreational opportunities on reclamation projects have caused a surge of traffic from the city to the country, Harold T. Nelson, regional director of the bureau of reclamation. Boise, Ida., told approximate ly 200 people attending the Oregon Reclamation Congress lunch here yesterday. "This has brought a popu lar recognition of recreation al opportunities by folks that outnumber you In legislature and In Congress," Nelson said. And with that there is com ing a long overdue recognition of public-use benefits and an increasing inclination to pick up part of the tab." In 1061, 17 reclamation projects in Oregon handled three-quarters of a million people, a 30 per cent increase from the year before. Nelson noted. The same installations will have handled more than million before the year is out. Ochoco reservoir on the Crooked river project led with 328,000 visitations in 1061. Owyhee reservoir al Nyssa was second with 100.000.

Main Phone 773-4541 days of use already this year, and the total probably will approach 300,000," the bureau of reclamation official said. "Emigrant reservoir has had more than 68,000 visitors this year which is 50 per cent higher than last year. Total for the Princville reservoir is sure lo be well over 100,000." The National Park Service figures $1.60 per visitor day in computing recreational benefits. On this basis, Ore gon reclamation projects could justify an annual cost of almost $2 million from a recreation standpoint, Nelson pointed out. "Based on S5 a day, the total expendiU're for 1 mil lion persons spending a day at Oregon reservoirs in 1961 would be over $5 million. This money is spent for both capital and current expendi ture items on boats, camps, trailers, groceries, gasoline, car depreciation, fishing li censes, boat licenses and bait," he stated. Beviews Development Nelson reviewed the de velopment of congressional policy which has led to de velopment of recreational fa cilities in reclamation proj ects. "Even today there is no general law which permits I recreation as a function of reclamation projects," Nelson said. Rccrculion Is included on recent projects on a project-by-project basis, he explain ed. The Flood Control Act of 1946 permits recreational de velopments on projects con structed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. And rec reation developments have been included in bureau of reclamation projects only in the past six years or so, Nel son added. $90 Million Investment Federal reclamation proj ects existing or under con struction in Oregon will repre sent a $90 million investment when completed, Nelson said. About $258,000 has been spent of this sum for non reimbursable minimum basic recrealion facilities - about one-fourth of one per cent, and "lhe bulk of this on the Talent division of the Rogue River basin project." "The Talent division was the fii'st reclamation project authorization where speciiic facilities for public recreation were included on a nonreim bursable basis al a reclama tion reservoir," Nelson point ed out. Senate Document No. 97 states that planning for use and development of water and related land resources "shall be on a fully compre hensive basis," Nelson added. Outdoor recreational and fish and wildlife opportunities where these can be provided or enhanced by development will be given full considera tion with various other pur poses, he explained. Portion of Joint Costs "This new policy permits allocation of a portion of the joint costs of a development to recreation;" Nelson stated. "Allocation of a portion of the joint costs to recreation results in a reduction in costs which would be allocated to the irrigation function," he explained. Under the new policy, the Merlin division, Rogue River basin project, would receive allocations of $1,316,300 for recrealion and $13,150,800 for irrigation, or a $1 million de duction in irrigation alloca tion, the reclamation official said. Nelson praised Jackson county's administration of the Howard Prairie reservoir and Crook county's management of the lower portion of the Princville reservoir. "Actually, grass-roots ad ministration is most import ant to the successful adminis tration of these areas and the bureau looks forward to more active participation by the counties in connection with recreational developments on many of the older Oregon reservoirs, Nelson said explained. A budget estimate geared to provide adequate service to all areas of the state was prepared and given to the ways and means com mittee with the bill. Amends Bill However, the legislature amended the bill to restrict the stale financial contribu tion to watermasters' salaries. Salaries of assistant water masters and all expenses of both the watermastcr and his assistant were left to the counties, he added. The act provided for 15 watermasters, one for each of 15 districts. Each county's participation and uniform spreading of the state's funds determined location of the districts, he explained. Wheeler noted a substantial improvement in service. "If we continue to develop within the framework now set up and with the needed legis lative changes to provide state payment, benefits of adequate distribution can be realized," he said. Wheeler said he has order ed installation of approxi mately 150 hcadgates and measuring tievices to insure proper distribution of water. He praised cooperation of counties in the summer of 1961 to provide funds for pur chase of needed stream gaug ing equipment. Wheeler said his budget re quest included salaries of as sistant watermasters. The i coming legislature will have to act on this, he added. The Oregon water code au thorizes the state engineer to divide the state into water districts and originally direct ed that the county or counties should pay the salary and all expenses of the watcrmaster and his assistance. Their functions were to dis tribute waters of streams, lakes or reservoirs according to the relative rights deter mined by a court decree or established under order of the state engineer in determing water rights or by permits. Enactment of the ground wa ter code added this to the wa termasters" jurisdiction for distribution. The 1961 law was an at tempt to solve the problems originating in divided author ity and costs, Wheeler noted. It's NOT Too Late!

Accused Airman To Keep Back Pay Mountain Home, Idaho-IUPD -Mountain Home Air Base's celebrated airman will get to keep the more than $1,500 in back pay delivered to him earlier this week. The Air Force paymaster said airman Gerald Martin Anderson, 24, would keep his back pay of $782 and family allowance pay of $784.50 de spite the fact he has been charged with premeditated murder. Anderson's pay and family allowances were halted while he was held by civilian au thorities here for eight months for the slaying of Mrs. Nancy Joy Johnson, 22, whose son, Daniel, 2, was also found slain. Meanwhile, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents were continuing the civil rights probe ordered by the U.S. at torney general. Anderson has contended Air Force investigators co erced him into confessing the slaying of Mrs. Johnson by threatening to prosecute his wife and put his three chil dren into a foster home. Hearing of a habeas corpus writ filed in behalf of Ander son in U.S. district court in Boise has been delayed until Wednesday to allow time for completion of the civil rights investigation. The command er of the base, Col. Charles A. Allard, has been ordered to show cause why Anderson should not be released, fol lowing the confession of Theo dore Thomas Dickie, 21, who says he killed the Johnsons. Anderson reiterated Thurs day he did not know Dickie. SEE HOW THEY RUN Shrewsbury, England- IUPII Pvt.
