ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
Ground Water resources have
been an overlooked Item In the past
when water policy has been dis
cussed, but,' In recent years this
resource is becoming one oi uic
most vital factors in water re-
source development everywhere.
One of the prime questions dis
cussed by the Oregon State Water
Resources Committee when that
Committee talked with the people
- of the Klamath Basin was the need
for control over ground water sup-
nlies.
Competent authority states that
water within the body of the son
mantle which we speak of as
"ground water exceeds in volumn
by several times the amount of sur
face water, streams, lanes, reser
voirs within the boundaries of the
nation.
We have so wantonly misused,
abused and mishandled the surface
water that all "ground water" sup
plies are becoming Increasingly im
portant in our lives, une quainy
of "ground water" generally is such
that It is more useable than our
polluted surface waters. As the
pressure for more useable water
increases, tne present, last accel
erating use of ground water will
pyramid. Unregulated exploitation
of this community resource win in
evitably end In shortages for all
users, i
A ground water source can de
liver for use on a sustained basis,
only the amount of the annual re
charge of the aqulflers through
which the ground-stored water is
replenished. When regulation of
use is non-exlstant, and "mining"
of the ground water supply ensues,
a t a b 1 1 i t y of the community Is
threatened.
Examples: Overdrafts on ground
water In the Los Angeles district
Is so excessive that saline waters
have Invaded the land as much as
two miles from the ocean shore.
A slmlllar situation developed on
Long Island from overdrafts. The
withdrawal ol water from ground
sources In the Salt River Valley,
Arizona, at twice the recharge
rate, has threatened the economy
of the area and resulted In the
fabulous proposal called the 'Cen
tral Arizona Project of Reclama
tion" a scheme to have Uncle
Sam ball out those who over-used
the natural available aupply.
I could go on and on with sim
ilar examples from all over the
nation, lor this problem of "ground
water" is one that Is not confined
to just our Western area. The vi
tal importance of a solution lor
"ground water" control Is so evi
dent that there should not be any
delay In Its determination has
caused the outdoor Writers Associ
ation to make a statement of pol
icy In regards the "ground water"
question.
"Two actions are indicated with
relation to ground water re
sources." States the Outdoor Wrl
ters, "First, there is immediate
need for sound, forward looking
ground water codes in every state.
Second, Congress should recognize
Immediately the explosive Increas
ing demands on ground water re
sources and their importance in the
economy, and, at once, supply
funds for the ground water division
of the U.S. Geological Survey's
studies of this resource. It Is lar
more Important at this moment to
allocate funds to this work which
has had such niggardly appropri
ations in the past than to authorize
more constructional features deal
ing with surface wafer and ap
propriate funds for tnem."
Next to "Ground water'.' in Im
mediate Importance, or, perhaps
even of greater importance Is the
subject of "Pollution." The pol
lution of waters, any type of sur
face water or ground reservoir.
Is a violation of the principle that
anyone granted a right to use a
portion of the community water
wealth does not acquire a right to
destroy the usability of the water
in that which Is returned to the
common "water bank account." The
act of committing a destructive pol
lution does not stop with the loss
to use the water so polluted alone
but far too often the whole body
of water to which the pollution is
added has its usefulness destroyed.
It is recognized that It Is Impos
sible to put water to use along
its line of transit and maintain
spring fed purity. But it is within
the scope of American enterprise
and Ingenuity to maintain water
through stages of reuse, so it will
not become poison to people, pro
cesses, and aquatic life. Not only
decency demands that no person
or community shall so misuse and
pollute water that It no longer can
be or service, but the exigencies of
our future needs make It man
datory that this principle of main
taining the integrity of wate.r
throughout Its transit line shall
govern.
The outdoor writers who phrased
the National Associations Water
Policy was particularly ready to
condemn the school of thought which
nas voiced tno tnesis that "God put
the streams where they are to
carry away the wastes of com.
muni ties." Any acceptance of the
idea that our streams are God.
installed sewers is repugnant and
a vicious line of reasoning.

NEW YORK W) The H-bomb
Is tested in the Pacific and a lit
tle later a younir supply clerk pays
his check at Jersey Standard Oil
Co. 'a dining room in Rockefeller
Center here and picks out a pam
phlet from a rack nearby. Before
his lunch hour is over he has a
general idea of what the H-bomb
is about. 1
He won't learn how to make
one, but if he really yearns to play
with fire there's another popular
pamphlet on hand, "Outdoor
Cookery."
The same scene could happen
across the country at General
Motors plants, or Du Pont, Alcoa,
Western Electric, American Air
lines, General Tire & Rubber. This
information-feeding of employes,
In fact, is now In use in some
form or other by about 1,500 cor
porations. Several million workers take out
n estimated four million booklets
a month. General Motors has been
doing It for 4 V2 years, distribut
ing 56 million copies of over 300
different booklets.
"Who says the H-bomb is a
mystery?" is popular right now.
But the leaflets that employes
pick up the most are those on
sports, hobbies or the "do-lts" like
"Sew It Yourself."
The highest pickup Standard Oil
reports Is lor "Manhattan News",
put out as a special during New
York's newspaper strike.
The all-tiine low In employes'
reading interest was the printed
minutes of me stockholders' an.
mial meeting. ' i
With 3,400 employes eligible to
use the dining room, the average
.weekly pickup of pamphlets' it
1.672. In six months the company
has provided 80,000 copies of 41
different booklets for a total cost

WASHINGTON W-Who's lying?
Finding the answer will be the
main task of the Senate subcom
mittee which Investigates the fight
between the Army on one side and
Sen. McCarthy and Roy Conn.
chief counsel of his Investigations
subcommittee, on the other.
But whether the committee ever
agrees on the answer may turn
out to be as interesting as the
investigation itself. The seven
man group has four Republicans,
including McCarthy, and three
Democrats.
Since the Wisconsin Republican
says he will testify under oath,
that means . all the witnesses
including, no doubt, Conn, Army
Secretary Robert T. 8tevens,' and
John Adams, the Army's chief
counsel must also swear to tell
the truth.
Committee agreement that a
witness was lying would be the
first step toward prosecution by
the Justice Department and a jail
term if the witness were convicted
in federal court of perjury.
The dispute revolves around
Army Pvt. G. David Schtne, son
of a wealthy hotel family and
unpaid worker on McCarthy's
staff until he was drafted.
1. The Army says McCarthy
and Conn Interceded to get schlne
a commission before he was draft
ed and afterwards tried to pres
sure tne Army into giving mm
special treatment. McCarthy and
Cohn deny this.
2. McCarthy says the Army
tried to "blackmail" him into giv
ing up his Investigation of com
munism In the Army and produced
memoranda charging the Army
was holding Schlne "hostage" to
make McCarthy lay off.. Stevens
and Adams deny this.
McCarthy now says he will not
only testify under oath but will
let Army witnesses, or their law
yer, cross-examine him. This
couldn't happen under the com
mittee's present rules without Mc
Carthy's agreement.
But, since he will be taking part
in the investigation of himself and
the Army -as a member of the
committee, he will be able, unless
the rules are further changed, to
wear two hats in the investiga
tion, an extraordinary sight in the
Capitol:
1. He'll testify as a witness,
and stand cross-examination.
2. Then he will get up from the
witness chair, walk around to his
committee cbair and cross-exam
ine those who testify against him.
If Cohn acts as McCarthy's
attorney in the hearing, the two
men can sit together and advise
with one another, while McCarthy
Is being cross-examined.
But Cohn won't be able to play
his usual role in the hearings of
this committee. As Its chief coun
sel he did most of the routine
questioning of witnesses.
He said last Sunday he had
learned that one of the commit
tee's staff members had gone
around to the other staff employes
asking them to sign a pledge of
loyalty to Cohn. The counsel said
he had nothing to do with this.
11 were naa been no outer rea
sons, this alone would have made
It impossible for the committee's
regular staff to work on this in
vestigation. It will be their Job to
get information together, some of
it to be used In the case of Cohn,
and question witnesses on what
their testimony will be.
So the committee yesterday de
cided to make Conn step aside
for this investigation, and the
whole staff too. Another chief
counsel and a new staff will be
hired for this one investigation.
some committee members ex
pressed hope yesterday the inves
tigation could, begin late next
week, not only In public but before
television cameras! This, seems
unlikely.
First the staff will have to be
assembled, evidence and informa
tion gathered, and some prospec
tive witnesses question before tne
hearing opens. Late next week
may be too soon lor that.
THE DOCTOR SAYS
By EDWIN F. JORDAN, M.D.
An Interesting series of articles
in a medical Journal on the sub
ject of pre-menstrual distress, or
pre-menstrual tension has recently
come to my attention. The different
contributors to the discussion
seemed agreed that at least one
third of all women suffer regularly
to a greater or lesser degree from
certain unpleasant symptoms for
from about four to seven days prior
to their monthly periods.
Many others suffer occasionally
from similar distress. This Is be
lieved responsible for a good deal
of Interference with work efficiency

A number of unpleasant svmo-
toms are commonly associated
with this pre-menstrual tension.

said that symptoms can be so se

regarding responsibility for acts
performed when suffering from se

It Is generally believed that the
basic cause rests with changes in
the production of hormones by the
glands of internal secretion, lead
ing to three effects: retention of
water, disturbance In the burning
of starches in the body, and in

cells in some parts of the body.
As a result of studies of this

Yater Board
Move Asked
EUGENE Gfl A proposal that
a board be established to c
ordinate water resources develop
ment throughout the state was
made at a hearing of the Oregon
Water Resources Commission here
Monday.
Lou Torgeson, spokesman for a
local development group, made the
suggestion and also urged that
planning be designed at the lowest
practical levels.
He said a state board could work
with such agencies as the Willam
ette River Basin Commission.
Torgeson also said that the state,
instead of launching water devel
opment projects Itself, might
provide loans to local groups to
finance programs.
All five members of the resources
comission, Including Chairman
Lyle Watts of Portland, attended
the hearing.
Nisei Wins
Citizenship
PORTLAND Wl Yukiko Sato,
28-year-old Nisei, has won her
fight for United States citizenship,
She was born at St. Maries,
Idaho, and was 'taken to Japan
when she was four. In 1945 she
voted in a Japanese election. When
she applied for a United States
passport In 1948, the U. 8. govern
ment rescinded her citizenship,
folding that voting In a foreign
election is relinquishment.
Two years ago she was allowed
to return to the United States to
start a court fight for her citizen
ship. She argued that she voted
only because she was threatened
with loss of her food ration card,
her Job and with "social ostra
cism." Federal . Judge Gus J,
Solomon held that she acted under
duress, and restored her citizen
ship. She lives with her parents near
Ontario, Ore.

Aboard the Mauretanla at Sea
Up 4 A cruise is the best way
in the world today to cure your
self of land sickness, the gee-I'd-Uke-to-get-away-from-it-all
feeling.
On a ship you can get away
from practically everything that
bothers you, but you can't sail
away from time.
Ever since my 42nd birthday I've
had a sinking feeling that, sooner
or later, I'd be 43 years om. una
sure enough it happened Just a
few days ago. somewhere In the
Caribbean.
I dreamed that old tatner lime
grabbed me by the forelock tor
what is left of my forelock) and
bis gray voice wheezed in my ear:
'Tag again, am. xoure it.
You're 43. Did you think you'd get
away this year?"
Then I awoke and heard my wife
saying:
'Why are you trying to hide un
der the pillow, Rover? Wake up.
Happy blrthdayl"
I groaned and pulled ine sneet
back over my head. This annual
birthday cowardlze on my part al
ways annoys Frances.
Listen, my little siree with tne
fringe on the top," she said. "I'm
getting tired of nursing you
through your birthdays. Why do
you always take a birthday as a
personal disaster, or as if it were
a plot against you?"
sne had a point. I always feel
fragile on my birthdays, fearful
that something unexpected and
dreadful will happen, I am afraid
that if I comb my hair it will all
come out at once, or that if I brush
my teeth they will all fall out on
the bathroom floor. From head to
toe I feel decrepit.
'It's a matter of heredity," I told
Frances. "The fear of growing old
runs In our family, Just as bank
ruptcy does In yo uh in other
families, us been that way lor
centuries." .
"But 43 Isn't really old."
"Maybe not. But ' it's such a
dumb age. A man's age makes
some sense at 20, or SO, or 70. But
43 is a brier patch. At 43 the only
thing a man really has definitely
finished is his youth. But he
hasn't completed his work tn life.
He hasn't raised his kids, or paid
off the mortgage on his home, or
saved enough to retire on.
"His. wile takes him for granted,
as she does the furniture, and
other women regard him as a
vague puppet that automatically
opens doors for them or lights
their cigarettes at parties. The
only people that find him socially
fascinating are Insurance salesmen
seeking to sell him one last policy.
"At 43 a man is Just a prisoner
in the haunted house . of bis own
life."
I sank back on the pillow, worn
out with self-pity.
' I don t want to Interrupt your
agony," said Frances. "But it
you'll Just try to buck up and act
more like a man about it, you can
celebrate your birthday any way
you want to."
"Fine," I said, "I II have lunch
in bed."
"People have breakfast in bed,
not lunch.'
"In my family people always
have lunch in bed on their 43rd
birthdays," I told her. "It's been
that way for centuries."
Well, Jack Barnes, our room
steward, brought me lunch, and a
small crying towel. He cheered me
by saying that while women could
understand tne horror of turning
40, only a man could appreciate
the wilderness loneliness of being
43.
Later I brushed my teeth care
fullydidn't lose a one and at
tended a birthday party at the
captain's table. After some cham
pagne I felt strong enough to blow
out the single candle on my birth
day cake. Understanding my suffer
ing, those present recalled cases
of men they knew who not only
had survived their 43rd birthday
out even nan gone on to liner and
bisger tilings. Probably nothing
but lies, lies, lies, but I did feel
better.
Then I went ud alone and stood
by a deck rail. Just a middle-aged
man on a middle-aged ship under
a middle-aged moon, staring at the
infinite night. . .the patient stars
.the foam that flowered
died on the endless waves.
Somewhere beneath me in the
deep lay the coral encrusted bones
of many forgotten men, and the
wind that cooled my face, or a
wind just like It, would blow a
hundred years from now on faces
yet unborn, bringing them a fresh
mood of mystery.
suddenly it seemed silly to oe
there beating; my head against the
thought of time, as if time were a
prison wall, when after all time
may be merely a movement, a
current swirling us toward some
thing well worth seeing It, and age
is merely the admission fee.
Turning away from the deck to
go below. I felt oddly comforted,
and didn't quite mind so much be
ing a year older. But I still say
that If there is any age dumber
for a man than 43 it is no, don't
tell me probably 44.

commercial salmon catch exceed,
ed 10 million fish last year for the
third time in 22 years.
The State Department of Fish
erles, in reporting Tuesday that
the 195S catch was slightly over
