Lost Creek Reservoir May Be
Operating by 1970 Group Told
Lost creek reservoir may
be in operation by 1070 or
1972, depending on the range
of government appropriations,
Henry Stewart, of the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers,
Portland district, told approx
imately 150 people attending
a Rogue basin project tour
Saturday.
. The proposed $530,000 in
initial planning funds for the
Lost creek reservoir at the
Uncanny Canyon site in the
McLeod area is now before
the House public works sub
committee and appropriations
committee.
Standing on the crest of the
hill at the Lost creek site, on
the road at the Elk creek site,
or gazing down a steep can
yon at the Applegate dam site
it was difficult to imagine the
immense size of all three pro
posed reservoirs.
"In a few years this project
will probably be too small
to satisfy the water use de
mand," G. V. Schirk, chief
of projects and reports branch.

Howard Prairie's 2,000 acres
at full pool. This would allow
plenty of room for fishermen
and water - skiers, Stewart
pointed out. The Applegate
reservoir area will have 945
acres. Elk creek reservoir op
erated as a unit with Lost
creek will have too great a
draw down for much recre
ation use, Stewart predicted.
The corps will provide such
basic recreation facilities as
clearing for picnic area, park
ing area, water line and boat
ramp.
Applegate reservoir, 1 V4
miles north of the Copper post
office on the Applegate rd.,
will have year-around use due
to the mild area climate. The
Forest Service is basing much
of its recreation program in
this district around the reser
voir, it was pointed out.
Current cost estimates are
$80 million for Lost creek,
$18,700,000 for Elk creek, and
$15,800,000 for Applegate.
Much of this money will be
spent in the Rogue valley,
Stewart pointed out.
To Use Tunnel
The largest dam of the
three, Lost creek, will re
quire 21 to 22 million cubic
yards of rock and gravel ma
terial to construct the dam
360 feet above the river level,
Stewart explained. As much
of the material as possible
will be taken from the area
near the dam site. The engi
neers will use a tunnel and
coffer dams to reroute the
Rogue river during dam con
struction. Siltation will he a
critical point and will be care
fully watched, he added.
Fish passage, spawning bed
and hatchery facilities will be
operated jointly for Lost creek
and Elk creek dams. Details
on these facilities are not yet
known. Initial planning funds
do not include planning for
the fishery facilities, Stewart
said.

Ban Proposed on
Some Drugs in
Cold Treatment
FDA Order Would
Curb Prescriptions
Washington - WPP - The
Food and Drug administra
tion Saturday proposed ban
ning more than 50 "cold cure"
prescription drugs after a
team of leading medical sci
entists found that the anti
biotics have no effect what
soever on the common cold.
The proposed order would
prevent the certification of
prescriptions which include
antibiotics in conjunction with
analgesics, anti-histamincs, de
congestants, and caffeine.
It would affect only pre
scription drugs taken by
mouth.
The order also would initi
ate regulatory action, if nec
essary, to remove from the
market analgesics, deconges
tants, caffeine and antihista
mines when mixed with any
other anti-microbial agents,
primarily the sulfa family.
Action Said 'Major'
An FDA spokesman de
scribed the action as "major"
and said it would affect 50
or more products manufactur
ed by about 20 firms. He said
that most of the products con
tain antibiotics and a few
other anti-microbial agents.
The proposed order was
published in the Federal Reg
ister, an official government
publication, and gave object
ors 30 days to file protests
or comment before it can take
effect.
Under the order it would
be illegal to manufacture the
drugs specified and they
would be unavailable to doc
tors. But the order would not
affect popular cold remedies
sold without prescription.

"This program must be a suc

"The legislature couldn't

in 140 days," he said, "and
we can't afford to bring them

He charged furlner that the
Democrats wanted to repeal
the Council for the Aging,
that they had failed to meet

state, and that they had re
fused in three sessions to re

The governor characterized
the GOP as "a party of social

Official Accused
Of Passing Money
FBI Says Other
Arrests Possible
Dayton, Ohio -(UPD- Morton

Loral Electronics, the Bronx,

bery Saturday shortly after
he gave "a considerable sum
money" to an Air Force
civilian employee handling a
$9.5 million "classified con
tract."
The Federal Bureau of In

more arrests may be made for
conspiracy in the case."
When taken before U. S.
Commissioner Robert L. Snell,
Siegel refused to enter a plea
and asked for a preliminary
hearing. Bond was set at SI.-

with the date left open.
Bond Potted
Several hours later Siegel,
who had only $35 on him
when arrested by FBI agents,
was released when a profes

bail. Siegel reportedly return

The FBI said Siegel, who
Uvea in New York City, was
picked up shortly after he
gave money to Charles Lopez,
civilian head of the electronic
warfare branch at the nearby
Wright-Patterson Air Force
base, who is handling the con
tract. Siegel was arrested as he
boarded an airplane for home
at nearby Vandalia municipal .
airport Saturday afternoon,
on a warrant basing the
charge on the fact that money
changed hands. .

was accused of "attempting to
influence an employee of the
U. S, Air Force ... in the
employee's decision concern
ing a $9.5 million contract
now pending at the base."
The employee, Turyn said,
had reported to the FBI sev

been approached and believed
he would be offered a job or
money. Agents instructed Lo

and notify them what trans

Lopez met with Siegel sev

the FBI agent said, and turn
ed over the money to the FBI
which refused to say how
much it was, only describing
it as "a considerable sum of
money."
Turyn said several more ar
rests may be made later in
the case after further investi
gation, but declined to say
whether the persons involved
were associates of Siegel or
base personnel. They would
face conspiracy charges, he
said. He also refused to dis
cuss the contract, on the
ground that it was "classified
