In the 93,000 ncres he added, Butte valley nd the JF and D ranches were ma jor Weeks of land. He said that with cheaper power and un nrnvpd mjirmine eauipment, a boost of water into Butte -valley may be feasible. He picked up other tracts of land in various parts of the area. His purpose was to show that the Klamath basin will need all of its water lor maximum irrigation expan sion. Water Ue Growi v Wales also emphasized the in creasing use of water on land more intensively cropped, as with potatoes and onions, and claimed that the engineers' esti mate of 1.65 acre feet of "con sumptive use" in the Klamath basin is not high enough. He also pointed to the uncertainty of rainfall predictions, recalling that Goose and Tule lakes, both 25 feet deep, went naturally dry within the memory of white men In a period of long drought. Countv Agricultural Agent C. A. Henderson told of the his tory of agriculture in the basin and the changing crop conditions demanding more water. He re called that the per acre produc tion of potatoes in this basin in creased from 101.4 bushels to more than 400 bushels in the last 25 years. The chamber called Dick Hen rel, farmer and chamber direc tor, who told of successful rec lamation of marginal land by proper use of water. Legal Aspects Charles Stricklin, state engi neer, also appeared at the cham ber's request, to discuss legal aspects of the problem, including the question of state ownership of the -water and the danger of establishing a vested right through beneficial use. Klamath interests repeatedly pointed out that diversion, if it preceded Klamath basin maxi mum development, could result in the establishment of rights over Klamath water in Central Valleys. It was likewise repeat edly asserted, that no final guar antee could be given that Klam ath priorities would prevail in a conflict over water. " Frank Jenkins, chairman of the cham ber land use committee, had pre- viously cited the example of Owens valley's water fight with Los Angeles, and also mentioned the possibility of a river author ity scheme. It developed at the hearing that TJ. S. fish and wildlife agents have made little study so far of the effect of the proposed scheme or alternative schemes on fish and wildlife in the Klam ath area. Leo Laythe, regional director of the service, said it would take 18 months to get the information on wildfowl and five years to conduct a fish sur vey. - - . . . ., Plans Brief . . ! Ted Conn, of the Oregon game commission, stated his group plans to file a brief on the pro posal. Dr. P. R. Needham, scientist for the commission, warned that drying up Klamath river to Keno would ruin a fine rainbow trout stream. It was indicated that the Ore gon commission favors Scheme 2 as presented by the engineers, which calls for a reservoir on Sprague river but would not di vert water from the Klamath. The third scheme suggested orriKs" the reservoir on the Sprague, but provides for a de velopment on the Trinity river which would divert water to Central valley, Questioning of engineers wrought out that scheme No. 1 will cost an estimated $108,000, 000. They did not give figures on other schemes. Numerous organizations, both those on the chamber brief and others, made representations at the hearings.

They encounter INTENSE FLAK and small arms fire. , 'yHERE is no official comment, -1 but there is speculation (passed by the censor) that the attack may have been directed against top priority NAZI PER SONNEL and nazi FILES coming in from Berlin. - An air force officer quoted In the dispatches says: "This is supposed to be Hitler's hideout. If our raiders found railroad cars there, one guess is as good as another as to what they might contain." Fitting into this pattern Is a heavy air attack on Nurnberg, a great German rail center through which most of the traf fic from Berlin to the Berchtes gaden area must pass. COR weeks we've been hearing r speculation that the nazis plan to retire to this mountain ous corner of Germany and Austria for a last-ditch stand. There are hints that they may be planning tb concentrate here their divisions now in northern Italy and Yugoslavia. We have been told of rumors that for months they have been collecting here food and supplies in vast quantities. 'T'HE nazi, like the Jap, isn't milt human.
