-TUESDAY. APRIT. 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGB RVK ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Speakinj of the well organized Co igresslonal hearing In Redding, , vauiornia taut ucnv in he ambition of the Bureau ol iW jwmiion 10 divert water from the Trinity River to the Bacramento In a half billion dollar boondoggle, the Redding paper announces: "Shasta and Trinity counties put up a united liont this morning urging quick action for construction of the Trini ty River project with request for adequate supplies ot water for the counties of origin." This "united front" fable Is a thing that always amuses me as every hearing organized by the Bureau of Reclamation and its cover screen of local boosters is managed adroitly so that the rec ord would appear to have a"unlted front1' even Wough the opposition within the community Is great. The opposition, however, is handicapped because It is not organized and does not wish to come to grips with the Bureau's well trained and glib spoken boosters. Engineers look contemptuously upon the layman who attempts to express his views upon subjects they consider to be their own God given right. As a consequence the opposition lets the boomers have their way and pray that outsiders will come in and pre sent the opposing arguments that they do not have the intestinal for titude to get up in publlo tnd Milk Prices Reduced PORTLAND Wl Milk will cost a half cent less per quart in nine Oregon counties on May 15, the State Board of Agriculture an nounced Monday. . The board also voted sharp re ductions in cream prices from 2?4 to "10 cents a pint in an at tempt to reduce aurplus butterfat. The new pricing regulations will mean that producers will get one 'cent less ner ouart as the board added a half cent to the distrib utor's margin. - . The vote on the new price regu lations was 3-2 with Fred Cockell of Mllwaukle and Lee Holllday of Klamath Falls opposing them. They argued that If the producers' price was to be cut a full cent the entire reduction should be, passed on to the consumer. The regulation affects Marlon, Clackamas,, Polk, Wasco, - Hood River, Columbia, Washington, Yamhill and Multnomah counties. The new prices will be: 3.8 per cent butterfat milk, 21 ,4 cents 43 cents in two-quart containers; 4.3 per cent milk, 22 cents; 5 per cent milk. 23 "2 cents; 10 per cent milk, down 2 2 cents to 20 cents a pint; 20 per cent coffee cream, down 7 cents to 30 cents a pint; 33 per cent whipping cream, down 10 cents' to 40 cents a pint. John Day Chrome Mill Plans Told BAKER tfl Plans for a chrome processing mill to be in operation within 30 days were announced Monday by the Grant County Chrome Corp. Articles of incorporation for the new firm were filed in Salem Mon day by Fred J. Young, Blanche Behner and Margaret Hoskins, all of Baker. They said the firm will process chrome mined between John Day and Prairie City. - The firm, owned by Endre Nerme, Hohokus, N. J., and Alwyn H. Wild and Marlon Wild, both of Jfew York City, is capitalized at $375,000, they said. UNION MEETING NEWPORT, Ore. Iff) Some 150 delegates and members of their families are expected for the three day annual meeting of the Oregon Etate Council of A PL Carpenters and Joiners which opens here Thursday. voice. After all, one can hardly blame them, they have to live In the community and the boosters can exert pressures that might be embarasslng to local opposition since they usually control the polit ical voice of the community. - We have been aware that there Is till opposition developing in the Trinity area though that opposi tion has not been voiced publically by the local paper which must pre sent the "united front" fable by playing down any opposing argu ments. Apparently there has been a question raised, in fact, a serious threat in the line of opposition, be cause some people in Trinity Coun ty are beginning to as what guar antees are there that their . area will have an adequate supply of water ten to mem alter the Bureau and the citizens of Redding get it diverted to their special benefit is Trinity to become a second Owens Valley? The boomers have always been quick to meet these questions that pose a threat to their desire to get tho good old man with the long chin whiskers to generously dig down into the Tax Payer's pocket for a few loose millions that can be spent in their community it's a great American Oame in which we all participate and then scream bloody murder about the taxes we pay. This question of future water sup ply after it has been all diverted must have been quite serious be cause tne boomers have had their big guns running around preparing the ground and calming fears the best they can. The chief leader for the Bureau's ambition stated "we do not intend to adopt a dog in the manger attitude" when he sought to allay fear that there would be nothing left for the people at home, however, I greatly doubt such his trionics was very reassuring. I also notice that now the boomers are beginning to attempt to placate tne recreational Interests and prom' Ise them an "adequate" supply of water of favorable temperature. By the time the Trinity River di version boosters get through prom ising everyone that their needs will be taken care of one wonders how much water will be left for diver sion. These boys have been long on promises In their attempts to beat down the arguments of the opposl- tion and have deliberately sought to buy off the opposition by bribery out of the public purse. When Trin ity started worrying about their school system which is now exceed ingly inadequate and would be forced to cope with a large influx of construction workers the ans wer was simple Uncle will take care ot that and build you new schools. When the people started to worry about their road system which would suffer by the project construction Tut! Tuti my friends, good old Uncle Bam will come to your aid. Where the great dam Is to be located is aulte some distance from the city of Weavenrtlle and the main highway from the dam would go to Redding instead, it looked as If Weavervllle merchants woura oe cut out of the gravy by their ad verse position, however, the boy in the striped pants will take care of that by seeing that Weavervllle is connected to the construction area with an adequate highway. Then when the opposition cried about the loss of tax lands by virtue or the construction of great reser voir, that was a question which was not so easily answered, nowever, trust the ingenious promoter we will lust have Uncle pay the county 4m u Inet tax revenue out of pro ject funds. Never let it be said that the promoter can oe caugnv wimout an answer so long as the public pocket is large ana generous.

Strauss. The chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission made this dis closure last night in addressing the Los Angeles World Affairs Coun cil. He said it is the President's Intention to ask a national Amer ican scientific organization to call the meeting later this year. No specific date was mentioned for the meeting, which would be the first conclave of Its kind in the nuclear age. :. Strauss, In stating Its' purpose, quoted the President's words: "To hasten the day when the fear of toe atom will begin to disappear Polio Vaccine Tests Planned PORTLAND (A Salk polio vac cine for tests to be conducted next week in Marion, Lane and Mult nomah counties Is arriving In Ore gon, the State Board of Health re ported Monday. - Volunteer physicians and nurses will lnnoculate second graders whose parents have given1 written permission for the test. . from the minds of the people and the governments of the East and the West."

In which the President called upon the world's atomic powers to set up an international agency to de velop peaceful atomic pursuits. The nations participating, said Eisenhower, "must, of course." include the Soviet Union. Strauss, amplifying tills point during a question-answer period following his address, said the nations par ticipating must Include, under the President's plan, the three pow ers in the atomic energy area the United' States, ' Great Attain and Russia. - . -"The United States proposal,' said Strauss; "Is not Just another move in the chess game of world politics nor is It primarily a dis armament formula. It does not en danger the atomlo weapons secrets of any nation that now has or may possess- such secrets. It does not involve suddenly placing trust where yesterday trust could not be reposed."
