RECLAMATION
BUREAU SETS
PUSTWAR PLAN
CHICAGO, Jan. 24 (P) The
post war program of the bureau
of reclamation will cost more
than three billion dollars and
will make available more than
500,000 new jobs, William E.
Warne, assistant commissioner
of the bureau, declared today.
The program involves 15 stud
ies of resources of a river basin
in the west, Warne said in an ad
dress prepared for delivery to
the associated equipment distri
butors. '
One of these studies, develop
ment of the Missouri river basin,
has received authorization for
4k. ..ii,,rn nf s4on.noo.000
for preliminary work, Warne
said, while another study, a re
port on the Colorado river area,
was expected to be presented to
congress soon.
' "The first step in the bureau s
postwar plan," he said, "is to in
crease the irrigated area of 17
western states through the con
struction of many dams which
will bring the west the lowest
cost hydro power in the United
States.
"About 40 per cent of the $3,
000,000,000 program would be
spent for equipment and mater
ials. Labor costs would run
slightly more, or 45 per cent,
with employment furnished for
250,000 at project sites and as
many more in industrial estab
lishments." Warne said the bureau of- re
clamation studies indicated pur
chasing power of the west would
be increased to $1,250,000,000
annually. Irrigated land to be
brought under control of the pro
. gram would provide for more
than 200,000 additional farms.

Civil War Survivor
' Celebrates Birthday
PORTLAND, Jan. 24 (VP)
Oregon's 1 a s t surviving Civil
War soldier, Theodore A. Pen
land, has had another birthday
but it turned out to be only his
96th, not the 100th as guests had
anticipated.
Penland told 300 guests at his
birthday party here last night
that his age had been calculated
.wrong in recent years and that
examination of musty army rec
ords showed he is only 96. The
mistake was partly due to his
eagerness to get into the Civil
war when he was under age.
Penland, commander of the
Oregon department, Grand
Army of the Republic, predicted
the present war soon will end
the way we're destroying their
cities and men and arms."

Major Gen. George E. Strate
meyer, commanding general of
the U. S. army air forces, India
Burma theater, and the eastern
air command, has been awarded
the Order of the Bath, the sixth i
highest British award by com
mand of King Georve VI, the
war department announced to
day. The presentation was made
by Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich
ard E. C. Peirse, retiring commander-in-chief,
Southeast Asia,
on the grounds of the Viceregal
palace at Belvedere, Calcutta,
India.
Two other Americans were
also decorated, Lt.-Col. Richard
W. Boebel, 29, Buffalo N. Y
commanding officer of the light
plane section of the first air com
mando group, and SSgt. Arth
ur M. Cherry, 25, of Klamath
Falls, liaison pilot in the same
unit, received the Distinguished
Flying Cross and the Distin
guished Flying Medal, respec
tively, both British awards. The
commando group is operating
with the 14th army evacuating
casualties in the Tiddam and
Chindwin areas.
The British citation on Sgt.
Cherry said in part: "On March
24, 1944, two light aircraft were
flown into an emergency land
ing strip to evacuate two serious
ly wounded men and two sick
men. The landing strip was situ
ated in terraced paddy fields
with a very steep gradient and
surrounded by jungle country
and at one end high hills. One
aircraft crashed on landing, los
ing its undercarriage.
The other piloted by SSgt.
Cherry treated all witnesses to a
magnificent display of deter
mination and piloting. Coming
in below the level of the trees
at the west end of the "strip,
SSgt. Cherry had to pull the
plane vertically up to get over
the treetops at the end of the
strip and managed to land safely.
The take-off was brilliant.
SSgt. Cherry was forced to take
off on one wheel and had to bank
steeply in order to avoid the
trees to gain height. Not con
tent with this, he returned later
in the day to evacuate the re
maining men, and with a very
large load, repeated his. superb
performance.
It was 1 only due to the skill,
courage and determination of the
pilot that the wounded men were
so successfully evacuated.
