Wilson Wiley
Gives Talk
Laws governing the acquisi
tion of water unci laud rights
from early territorial days to
present reclamation ana home
stead procedures, were outlined
in a talk bv Wilson Wiley to
the Rotary club at tho Willard
noiei r rictnv noon.
Highlights of interest to Klanv
ath people were the passage by
congress of the reclamation act
in 11)02, and the start of study
for the Klamath proiect by
reclamation engineers in 1S04.
The two important steos that
made reclamation passible here
following passage of the act.
Wiley said, were the ceding of
rights to lake beds to the United
States by the states of Oregon
and California, and the building
of railroads to the basin.
Hanrby Bechen was Intro
duced os a new member of the
Klamath Kalis Rotary club with

Baruch Warning On Atomic
Rules Speeds Decision Meet
LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y., Dec.
28 W) Bernard M. Baruch's
sharp warning that the United
States could not yield atomic
bomb secrets to the world unless
the veto was ruled out of any
international control plan sent
United Nations delegates into
hotel room conferences today
seeking off-the-floor agreement.
Representatives of the 12 na
tions on the UN atomic energy
commission had until Monday
morning, when the body goes
into session for final decision, to
settle this critical issue, which
generally is regarded as the key
to tile basic arms reduction pro
gram laid down by the UN assem
bly. Baruch's strong speech was
made at a closed session of the
commission last night in the
midst of bitter debate over in
clusion of the veto with regard
to punishment of violators of a
control system. The American
delegate made it clear that he

Teachers
End Strike
On Schools
ST. PAUL, Minn., Dee. 28
UP) St. Paul public school
teachers last night suspended
their strike after the city char
ter commission approved an
amendment providing funds for
the Increased salaries and
school improvements the in
structors had demanded before
they left their classrooms for
picket lines on November 25.
Fred M. Truax, commissioner
of education, said the 36,578
pupils would return to classes
January 6, with the possibility
of opening the city's 77 schools
next Monday if a survey shows
not too many teachers have left
for the holidays.
Truax said time lost would
be made up by continuing
classes through Easter vacation
and farther into June than
usual.
Miss Mollie Geary, chairman
of the teachers Joint council, is
sued the statement calling off
the walkout after the charter
commission approved an $18
per capita annual expenditure
for school purposes only. The
amendment will be submitted
to St. Paul voters, who must
approve it by a 60 per. cent
majority. The city council is
expected to decree a special
election on the issue within a
month.
could not recommend senate ap
proval of any plan including the
veto.
Delegates saw little chance for
immediate agreement, in the face
of Russia's continued silence and
new opposition to Baruch by
France and Great- Britain, and
postponed the whole issue until
Monday.
The early part of the nine-hour
meeting had been harmonious
with the remainder of the Baruch .
plan being adopted without bal
lot. Even this was far from con
clusive, however, in view of
Russia's refusal to participate in
the discussions.
Soviet Delegate Andrei A.
Gromyko was absent because.
Prof. S. P. Alexandrov tersely
told reporters, he was "occupied
with other business." Alexandrov
sat through the whole meeting
without speaking but near its end
advised the chairman that he
wanted to be considered "present
but abstaining in full."
