nia will become the number one
state." Wiser said.
"With the shortage of water that
has developed in late years It is
evident that California cannot re
main self-sufficient."

Communist Expose
Seen In Future
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 A
Rep. Nixon CR-Calif.) predicted to
day the house will agree on a law
this year to expose American com
munists. His house un-American activities
subcommittee closed hearings yes
terday on two bills. One would
outlaw the party, and the other
would make communists register
publicly as agents of a foreign
power.
House passage probably will be
swift, he said. But, he added, he
would not try to guess whether
the senate will follow suit.
"We will explore the possibility
of illegalizing the actual case-hardened
communist conspirators,"
Nixon said.
