IT OF
GI SETTLEMENT
PLAN URGED
DENVER, Nov. 16 W) Early
enactment of a "soldier settle
ment program" to facilitate the
rehabilitation of war veterans
on new farms was advocated to
day by Harry W. Bashore of
Washington, commissioner of the
U. S. bureau of reclamation.
He reported in a speech pre
pared for tile annual conven
tion of the National Reclama
tion association that the bureau
already is working with Rep.
Murdock (D-Arir.) "to formu
late a plan which will be to
the best interests of our service
people."
"It will be ready soon," said
Bashore. ,
The demand for farms by dis
charged soldiers, he predicted,
"will far exceed anything we
can offer, large as our program
is." He explained that the pro
gram, submitted to congress,
provides for development of
about 135.000 new farms on
some 6,700,000 acres of desert
land plus supplemental water
for approximately 10,000,000 ad-i
ditional acres having inadequate
supplies.
Bashore said it calls for con-i
struction of 236 irrigation and
multiple purpose projects in 17
western states, through unified
development of 14 large riveri
basins. When construction
reaches its peak, employment
would be afforded several hun
dred thousand men to tide over
any postwar slack, the commis
sioner promised.
"Our plan for new irrigation
on 6,700,000 acres immediately
after the war is only a begin
ning," he said. "There are now
some 21,000,000 acres of land
under irrigation in the west.
There is enough water available
for irrigation of some 2,000,000
more." -
Bashore recommended that
the bureau, irrigation districts
and local authorities work to
gether to effect a solution of
problems arising from proposed
revision of the reclamation law's
160-acre limitation clause.
Under this clause, he explain
ed, the bureau is forbidden to
serve water to farms of more
than 160 acres, except under
special congressional authorization.

-MEN AND
WOMEN IN
SERVICE
MERRILL Mr. and Mrs.
George Offield of Merrill are
proud of the work of the Sea
bees in this war and especially
so of a nephew of Offield's who
has, witn nis company, won wine
recognition for overcoming al
most insurmountable obstacles.
The young man, who has been
overseas in the European theater
of war for many months, is
Chief Carpenter's Mate Lester
A. Malone, Seattle, ana tne siory
of the heroic work being done
by that branch of the service
is graphically aescrmea in me
storv of restoration of a badly
damaged hospital in Cherbourg.
Malone was stationed with his
company in Cherbourg imme
diately following allied occupa
tion and the unit was detailed
to rebuild a nearly destroyed
hospital.
Physicians were desperately
in need- of a protected area to
care for the wounded and the
three-story hospital had not one
of its thousand windows intact.
More than 200 doors were blown
from their hinges and the oper
ating room was a shambles.
The Seabees went to work,
utilizing even ersatz materials
left by the retreating Germans.
Plumbers became plasterers, ma
chinists took over jobs they had
never been trained for, but the
work went on for seven days
and at the end of that time
navy, surgeons were operating
on wounded in the rebuilt sur
gery. The building was in even bet
ter repair than before the in
vasion, according to reports
reaching this country. That job
completed, the unit moved on
across Normandy.
Chief Malone who has a son
with the paratroopers in France,
visited here with Mr. and Mrs.
Offield prior to going into the
service.

Great Northern freipjht trains carried .
the largest tonnage in the railway's
history in 1943 nearly 59 million .
tons, an average distance of 315
miles.'
In railway language, time u anapor- ;
tation job meant moving more than i
W2 billion ton miles of freight, the '
equivalent of hauling one ton nearly
200 times the distance to the sun.
Demands on Great Northern's
freight services have been even '
heavier thus far in 1944, but the
railway is performing its wartime
assignment with traditional der !
pendability. '
