German broadcast said fighting
of the bitterest sort raged east of
Dresden between the Bober and
Neisse rivers.
The Germans said Marshal
Gregory K. Zhukov poured men
into the front east of Berlin and
that the storm "will break soon."
A Moscow dispatch said red
army movements now might be

Continue Raids
Allied planes rumbled over
Germany in a continuation of
the offensive which has put a
daily average of 1280 planes

Franco to Take
Part in Confab
PARIS, Feb. 20 (A0) France
definitely intends to participate
in the San Francisco conference
on world security, and there
never has been any question of
her refusing a place at the unit
ed Nations table, Quai D'Orsay
officials said today.
The French, however, are
withholding acceptance pending
a complete study of all possible
angles of the full report on de
cisions made by the Big Three,
particularly concerning occupa
tion of Germany, zones of occu
pation, and practical operation
of the European charter.

inished insofar as is necessary
to take care of the needs of the
Klamath.
Legal Doctrine
William Uanong, attorney for
the Klamath Irrigation district
and a representative of the
chamber of commerce at the
hearing, asked Colonel Moore
what the nature of the guarantee
would be. Ganong pointed to
the legal doctrine under which
he who first applies water to a
beneficial use acquires vested
rights therein. He said that un
der diversion, Central Valleys
would undoubtedly use Klamath
water before Klamath irrigation
lands could be expanded to make
full use of it.
Colonel Moore, after consult
ing engineers, said that the only
guarantee would lie in the fact
that the prior rights of the Klam
ath would be written into a re
port which presumably would
be adopted by congress. He
said he could not promise what
congress would do, nor make
any promises against future
amendments of any law. passed.
Dependable Plan
"The only guarantee we can
depend on is to keep all of
Klamath water within the Klam
ath watershed," declared Sena
tor Collier, who told the engi
neers his California committee
will go on record against the
diversion. He promised "we in
tend to put every possible ob
stacle in your way," and charged
that the current study is the
forerunner to an attempt to de
velop a river authority of the
TVA variety in this area.
A. M. Thomas, of the enter
prise Irrigation district, touched
also on the guarantee question
in an emphatic statement which
concluded that "we want no
part" of this plan.
sJiTvrsixiva innrnii
Thomas pointed out that it
would be impossible to secure
appropriations to etiectuate tne
plan without assurance that a
set amount of water would be
diverted. He asserted that Klam
ath and Sacramento interests
are diverse and that Klamath
would be forced into an "un
equal partnership" if the great
Central valley had a "shade of
a Tight to our water." He said
that nothing could be said or
written that would "convince us
that the ultimate result of such
a partnership would at best
greatly retard the development
of this project, at worst, prevent
it altogether."
Jenkins described the chang
ing economy of the Klamath ba
sin and the increasing import
ance of agriculture here. He
said there is a fear here of the
results of a diversion that would
commit any part of Klamath
water to another watershed,
and pointed to the probable po
litical power of Central Valley
in case of a conflict over water
rights. He voiced concern also
over the possibility of a valley
authority.
Drought Periods
Jenkins, local publisher and
chairman of the chamber's land
use committee, said that it is
claimed here that more than
600,000 acres may ultimately be
brought under irrigation in the
Klamath basin. He said that
rainfall records of the area are
not sufficient to insure against
long drought periods, and that
tree-ring evidence and historical
data show such periods have oc
curred. The chamber spokesman de
scribed the experience of Owens
Valley, California, which went
dry when Los Angeles took its
water, and said that local people
fear some such ultimate catas
trophe here if all available is not
assured for all time for the
Klamath watershed.
The hearing recessed at noon,
but the bulk of testimony was
scheduled for the afternoon.
Many government agencies, both
state and federal; are represent
ed. Numerous resolutions were
presented at the opening of the
hearing, including one by the
Klamath Indian agency. Cali
fornia Oregon Power company
filed a letter declaring its oppo
sition to the schemes presented.

(Continued From Page One)
of the grand jury's report sub
mitted to tne court:
Jury's Report
We, the Klamath county
grand jury, wish to make the
following report and recommen
dations:
We have made an investiga
tion of the institutions of Klam
ath county with reference to the
storage of narcotic drugs and
other medicines not classed as
harmful drugs, and we recom
mend that the county health of
ficer establish a book in each
institution in which shall be
kept a record of all such drugs
and medicines; that in such
book shall be entered the date
and time the dosage is given, the
name of the person to whom it
is administered, the reason for
administering such drug, the
name of the person ordering
such administration, and the
signature of the person giving
such drug.
We also recommend that all
druggists use more care in the
re-filling of prescriptions con
taining drugs for which pre
scriptions are required.
We . further : recommend that
all habit forming drugs and
drugs obtainable only upon pre
scription be administered to pa
tients in all city and county in
stitutions only upon direct or
der of a physician.
This grand jury has made an
investigation of the juvenile
problems of the county, and we
recommend the continued assist
ance and cooperation of all city,
county and state law enforce
ment officers, to the end that
the juvenile laws may be strict
ly enforced, and that the health,
welfare and discipline of the
juveniles of our county may be
enhanced.
We recommend that a sheriff
or deputy be present when the
grand jury makes a return to
court, in the. event tne snerin
or deputy is not present at such
time, we recommend that he be
called and that he report at
once to perform such duties as
may be required. This grand
jury feels that the failure to
serve a warrant in an indict
ment recently returned has been
to the detriment of law enforce
ment in Klamath county.
The grand jury has investi
gated the conduct of the city
police department witn reier-
ence to the arresting of women,
and it is recommended that the
city administration make avail
able at once two or more ma
trons, so that there will be a
matron on duty at all times in
the administration of the de
partment; that a matron be
present at all times when wom
en Drisoners are questioned or
an investigation is being carried
on, and that no such question
ing or investigating oe carried
on until a matron is present.
It is also recommended that
the facilities of the telephone
and other means of communica
tion be made available to pris
oners in all city and county in
stitutions for the purpose of
permitting them to contact par
ents or friends to obtain bail or
witnesses.
This grand jury has lnvesti
eated the matter of state vs.
Archie Ole Davig, and feels that
at this time there is not suffi
cient evidence to hold the man
to answer to an indictment in
the circuit court and have,
therefore, returned a not true
bill. However, it is the recom-
re-submitted either to this grand
that when additional evidence
may be found that the case be
re-sumbitted either to this grand
