Why U there still wart Well, SOMEHOW mankind haa V. led to get LEADERSHIP ot uie the only answer I can think of that seems to (It the situa tion. In the news uu morning the weird and grisly alory of the Katyn Forest cornea back to life. It waa la the Kslvn Forest (along Midway In World War III that the bodies of some 8.000 or more Polish olflcera were found in one great grave. The first stones hint ed strongly that these Polea had been alaln BY THE RUSSIANS. But It would never do for us to be allowed to believe that. The Russians were then our allies. So. In one way and another the atory waa twisted around so that we were made to believe It waa the wicked Naala who had done this mass murder. The Nails were our enemies, so It waa all right for us to regard them aa (tends in human . chape. Well It now finally appears th " - WAS the Ruaalana after all who committed these mesa murders to clear the way (or a communist dominated Poland. The Polea who were alaln were the kind of Poles who never could have been con verted to communism. Bo they were purged. Why la It bad that thla deed waa ao camouflaged with propaganda that we came to believe It waa done by the Nails and not the Russians? It a like (his: It we had KNOWN THE TRUTH. 11 would have aroused our su pic Ions aa to the true nature nl communist Russia. If we had known the true nature of commu nist Russia, we wouldn't have dis banded our mighty military force In 1845, for It would have been clear to ALL of us Uiat these com munist rulers of Russia were not fit to be trusted. II we had stayed strong In IMS. we wouldn't be In the terrible fix we're now In. If our lesders had told ua the truth then, we wouldn't have permitted ourselves to become WEAK.

Alter that, he said, It will be submitted to Interested agencies and then to Congress for action. No estimate of the cost has been made as vet, he said. The plan for the Talent division, as outlined by Nelson, Calls for construction ot a new reservoir at Howard Prairie of 61.500 acre feet capacity, and enlargement of the Emigrant Reservoir from 15.000 to 45,000 acre feet.

Nelson said the bureau hoped to complete by next spring a feasibil ity report on the second power unit the 18,000 kilowatt run-of-the-river Cascade Gorge unit of the Union Peak division. The diversion dam will be about one-fourth mile below the California-Oregon Power Company's power houses One and Two. Diversion would be Into a power canal about 4 'i miles long. The development would provide supplemental water to 9.700 acres In the operating Talent Irrigation Dlstict and to 8.640 acres of new lands. Of the latter, 3.510 acres are under a Medford Irrigation dis trict canal and were formerly In cluded In the Medford division. Nelson said that development of the 2,510 acres would be deferred to furnish 9,000 acre feet of sup plemental water to the Medford and Rogue River Valley Irrigation Dla trlcts. He said current plans are to show the feasibility of the pro ject with the 2310 acres of dry lands, and then show that feasibil ity would not be Jeopardised dur ing the Interim period while the 9,000 feet are sold aa eupplemental water. 4
