Tncre is one common ground shared by all shades of local in terest. That's the fully justified lcar that this great resource may be tapped by outsiders. By outsid ers is meant, by interests outside the Klamath Basin. This common fear takes different forms according to individual in terest. The California Oregon Power Company fears that the wa- .k- ?r would nave ltrst call.

Also, present ir rigation water users are beginning to wonder if Irrigation expansion within the basin may thin the. sup ply down to curtail their use and prove costly to the extent that they'll also have to help foot the bill. Basin residents who follow the outdoor trails for relaxation (and their number is greater even than the farmers) fea"r that in the con flicting drives for development, fish and Wildlife will suffer. The rest of the community fears that water will be appropriated for use outside the Basin, or that con flicting interests will so tie up its use that the natural course of de velopment here will be throttled. There is a common agreement, however. All local interests agree that first use of water must be for agriculture, and beyond that, hy droelectric power must be devel oped. Manv others add that fish and wildlife, for recreation and conservation, must be taken into consideration in both uses. The interpretation of how this should be accomplished is where the conflict arises. ' The reclamation bureau takes the stand that the federal govern ment owns the water; that its most beneficial full use will be through the bureau's multi-purpose plan which now Is still under study: and that this precludes any private one purpose use like Copco's Big Bend application. Farmers fervently claim that the water belongs to land, not to the government nor to any special in terests. TSVu-niera believe that most bene ficial use lies in full development nf irrigation within the Basin.

Sonic think that pumping ground water from wells iwnich takes lots of electricity) Is the strongest string for this bow. Copco takes the stand Unit its present contract (which has 15 years yet to go) gives the furmers their strongest legal claim to the water. If this contract is renewed, and its application for the Big Bend project is granted, the com pany says it will assure farmers within the 200.000 acres of the pres ent project .prior call on all w ater, fnd es5uro the community of in dustrial development and lev cost power for pumping. Copco points out that such a course would preclude any thinning down of water use within the 200.- understandings in this water use round robin. One is In Copco's filing for 2500 second feet. Tnis would give the company use of stream flow up to 1250 second feet. It would gel out put of 2500 second feet either by running that much through two Dlants, or by storing water by j mgni ana running oom storage ana stream flow through one plant by day. Another misunderstanding, or rather a matter that is too com plicated to explain in a few words, is that water generally is used for irrigation several times over. It is irrigation water, then becomes drainage, then irrigation again, then drainage, then irrigation but what's left always ends up as drainage. If there were no drainage tins Basin would be one tine alkali des ert. What is "used up" goes into the air as evaporation or trans piration. Generaly speaking, the more water that's used for irriga tion, the more drainage water there must be. But let's eet back to the funda mentals: First use for irrigation: what's left for power and all for home use. Llstenlne in to enough of this, you're bound to form conclusions. Here is our conclusion for the mo't beneficial use and the fullest Devel opment from Klamath water: Give Copco rights to generat oower from any and ALL wate that drains' off Klamath Basin farm lands with the provision that all water MUST drain back Into the Klamath river above Keno. and with the further provision that j fish and wildlife must be given full consideration. The -lawyers can taice over irom here. This is written as the observa tions of a good listener. It does quote any individual person. hosan tn demonstrate their deep desire for national independence. ; The desire had been there. But it had been held in check. The ruin left by the war unleashed it. This became one of the great facts of the mid-20th Century. Dur ing the war Churchill was unwill ing, or unable, to foresee this. For it was he who said he had not be come his majesty's first minister to preside over the liquidation of the empire. The events that have happened slnce tne war ne said, have left him astounded. And even now. in the face of facts and a diminished Britain nhnrrhill looks with nos- uigia on the 19th Century, as he revealed in the use of a single word, "predominant." "When the war ended." he said. speaking of the Middle East, "the Western nations were respected and predominant throughout" the area. The people of the Middle East could answer this by telling Churc hill the treatment the British have received there springs from their determination not to let anvnnp be be unuiea, and have a common army, but has urged it on them. But as for Britain no. He would not let Britain take part. He still seems to think of Britain as dif ferent and apart from Europe. He will not let it lose a shred of its identity In a merger with others.

The problem of the imperfectly developed mind, or the mentally retarded. Is a serious one. There are supposed to be about one and one-half million citizens of the United States who are mentally retarded, about one-tenth of whom are In special training schools or other institutions. The problem Is a complicated one and only a little of it can be explained In this column. The ability to learn. Is expressed as the Intelligence quotient or 'I.Q.' It is usually figured by dividing the mental age (as calculated IrOm one or more Intelligence tests), by the actual age of the child and multiplying the result by 100., Thus, If a six-year-old child has a mental age of three,- the Intelli gence quotient would be called 00; If.jTon the other hand, a child of nine has the "Intelligence" of a child of twleve, the intelligence quotient would be 133. Parents are often inclined to pay too much attention to the results, especially when they are only a few points above or below the av erage. However, children who have been given adequate intelligence testing with results below DO or thereabouts, must be considered to be so far back of their fellows that they belong in the mentally retarded groups. The true Idiot which Is at the bottom of the scale, will always require Institutional care and can not be educated in school subjects. The next lowest group or lmbe- closing in. In the Senate, World War I vet erans are ahead, 38 to 13. This doesn't Include Martin or Sen. Frear (D.-Del.) and Hendrlckson (R.-N.J.), who were in both.

Rep. woodrutf (R.-Micn.) ;was in the Spanish-American War more than a half century ago. These Include the agile 84-year- old Sen. Green (D.-R.I.i. Sen. Neely ID.-W. Va.). Sen. Gillette (D.-Iowai.
