Today's Roundup I Bjr MALCOLM EPLEV A' READER has Just brought me a copy ol the March edition of "Field and Stream" containing an editorial by one H. L. Betten that accuses the reclamation service of plotting the "dismemberment i and dlsembowelmrnt" of the Klamath river. Mr. Betten has used powerful language In an attack m the reclamation service, and It Is no wonder that our visitor, and probably others who read the article, beeame excited about it Says the Field and 8tream writer: "In the dubious guise of pro fessed need for added power and Irrigation facilities and of flood control, the federal bureaucrats are poised, turtle-eyed and designing, for thrusts which will desecrate these wonderful streams (Klamath and Rogue rivers) and Inevitably destroy their famed finny resources EPLEY and mar their natural beauty." About the Klamath, he says: "It Is the Insistent, coldblooded Intent of the recla- mation service to divert the flow of California's su , preme angling stream into the upper Sacramento river by way of a diversion tunnel. Thus In one vicious opera- Hon the sporting and spawning assets of some 100 miles of the world-famous Klamath, a great recrea , tional region, would be almost completely destroyed." Mr. Betten, discussing the "ravage of the west" by ' private agencies and government bureaus, says the "early and totally unwarranted spoliation of Lower J Klamath lake (is) one glaring example." t I How True Is It? HOW true is this accusation that the reclamation bureau Is plotting the diversion of Klamath river to the Sacramento valley? The villain in the diversion scheme used to be the army engineers, and I under t stand that the original formal suggestion came from the forest service engineers. Now Mr. Betten, the Field and Stream writer, makes the flat charge that the ' reclamation bureau has Klamath river diversion as a definite program. Be is wrong, if we are to take at face value the statements and official reports of reclamation bureau J officials. c Mr. C. W. Burningham is the engineer in charge of the current reclamation bureau survey of the land and i water resources of the Klamath basin. Mr. Buming- ham, speaking as does Mr. Betten's article, says it is , not the "insistent, cold-blooded intent" or any other Intent of the reclamation bureau to divert Klamath J water to the Sacramento basin. Ee states that diversion of the Klamath is not being studied in the current J Investigation, nor is there any Intention to attempt to t Justify such a project. ' The Investigation by the reclamation bureau is i mainly concerned with making effective use of the J raters of the Klamath river basin within the basin i Itself. The cold mathematics of the situation shows, says Mr. Burningham, that if all the potentially irri i fable land In the Klamath basin is irrigated, there 1 would be no water for diversion after wildlife require -, merits are cared for. (Mr. Burningham says that he wants to make it i clear that there Is a possibility of some surplus water diversion to the Sacramento from the Trinity river, a J tributary of the Klamath. But the Trinity runs into the Klamath only 40 miles from the Klamath mouth, and J obviously this is not the diversion scheme Mr. Betten is talking about in Field and 8tream. He is talking about diversion from the upper reaches of the river, the same diversion proposal which we and others ' fought so vigorously two years ago.) , Mr. Burningham made the further comment that ' not only Is diversion from the Klamath outside the ! purposes and intentions of the reclamation bureau, but that he will say personally that it is not a sound or ' feasible proposal. It deserves further mention that the local sentiment favoring the current reclamation investigation de . veloped out of the anti-diversion fight We in this J area realized that it is necessary to make complete t and effective use of our water resources, or there would J be repeated attempts to raid them. The same group i that spear-headed the anti-diversion fight here urged the reclamation survey. , Lower Klamath I HAVE implicit confidence in the personal integrity of Mr. Burningham. I realize that there might be i some sinister phase of reclamation policy of which ; he has not been Informed, but I am convinced that i the reclamation bureau is not plotting a diversion of the Klamath as is suggested by the Field and i Stream writer. Agitation from outside may develop ; again for diversion, and we should be ready to light it , If It comes. The reclamation survey appears to be producing Information that will provide helpful ainmu nltion In such a fight As for Mr. Betten s remarks about Lower Klamath lake, it might be well for conservation agitators and others to get up to date on Lower Klamath. For many years. It was described as the horrible example of re claiming land that was 'no good for agriculture" and was simply taken away from the birds. For a long time, it looked that way. But modern agricultural methods have recently been applied to Lower Klamath to make It produce millions of dollars worth of crops. It promises Increasing pro ductivity. It is still the site of a large bird reserve, and birds are getting more food on the surrounding grain lands than was ever available before the "totally unwarranted spoliation" of Lower Klamath. , We agree with our friend of Field and Stream that there should be no diversion from the Klamath, but' we disagree with his outright assertion that the reclamation bureau contemplates such a diversion. The current reclamation Job in the Klamath basin Is vital to the economic future of this region. These Days By GEORGE E. gOKOLSRV A SPECIAL federal grand Jury has been In con tinuous session in New York to Investigate a situation that has been known for many years and therefore is not a grand jury secret What Is both inexplicable and astonishing Is that any government would knowingly permit the agents of a foreign nation whether friendly or enemy to organize to obtain important even crucial posts in its administration with the object of subordinating the Interests of their country to the policy of another. What is even more surprising Is that after all the names and facts become known and were corroborated from at least three sources, the FBI, the Dies committee and the Canadian government, these men continued In high office in the administration, that at least one of them was an undersecretary, that one was in the president's office, that one holds an outstanding position in public affairs, apparently, anybody can take over the American government who tries. As a result of the Canadian Investigation, Prime Minister MacKenzie King is reported to have regarded the American participation in the universal plot as so important that he personally came to Washington to deliver the documents to President Truman. Communist Cell Some time in 1934, Harold Ware organized communist cell in Washington with the object of placing communist men and women in critical posl tions in the federal government. The names of the original members of the central cell are well known and their careers can be followed in detail from the beginning. Some of them moved very far upward in the administration. They pushed each other upward. Each member of the central cell was required to organize a cell of his own and this process was followed until a large number of cells were or ganized. It was thus possible for a O.P.U. agent oper ating from the central cell, to obtain confidential files, to note the plans of government, and to smear their opponents, even by congressional investigations and Income tax procedures. Certain agencies of government were particularly designated as worthy of control. Among the foremost were the AAA, the department of labor, the lmml' gration bureau, then in the department of labor; the income tax division of the department of Justice, the treasury and the La Follette committee. Many of them, of course, were in other branches of govern ment It so worked out that if one of them was fired from one branch, he was quickly given another job. After the breach of the Stalin-Hitler alliance, many of these men and women came into the open, because this country was allied to Soviet Russia, They became important in the OWI, the OSS, the state department and the treasury. They developed tremendous power and actually played an Important role in the orientation courses in the army, subsequent to the war, they were most influential in the occupa tion in Germany and in the state department. Long Consideration This in summary is the story of a Russian directed effort to control the American government from 1934 to 1948. Although grand jury proceedings are strictly secret, it has become known that this is what the special grand Jury in New York has been investigating since last June. At various times, either Indictments or a presentment have been expected, but thus far little more has happened than that a few aliens have been picked up for deportation. Leaks, not from the grand Jury but from other sources, have indicated a struggle between the FBI and the White House over this grand Jury Investiga tion with the department of Justice greatly em barrassed. The FBI apparently wishes the entire story told by the grand Jury with adequate indict ments of traitors; the politicians In the White House fear the political consequences because some extraordinarily important names are Involved. Thus, the investigation drags on and the traitors continue to do their work. Public opinion ought to assert itself In this matter. It is contempt of court to disclose grand Jury pro ceedings; It is libel to charge men and women with unproven crimes. Thus the traitors are protected by the laws they despise and the government they seek to seize. Nevertheless, national Interest Is in peril and public opinion should ask what this grand Jury has been doing since June. SIDE GLANCES cw o av wf arsricf. we T i are u t m o.r 3'8 !
