At the present moment, loud out KFae gr trnintr un in the area east of the Mississippi against spending so mucn money lor reu , lamation in the 11 Western states.

Let's CUT IT OUT and spend the money on someuung eisei And so on. -i Before going off the deep end in support ol we arguments oi those who would LIMIT THE DE VELOPMENT OP THE WEST, let's take a look at some figures. The federal reclamation bureau . points out in a recent statement mM.triri Western lands have flourished to such an extent that they have paid more than four billion dollars in U.S. income taxes ' since 1916. With the magic touch of water, the statement adds, these re claimed lands now produce crops worth 800 million dollars per year some 25 million tons annually of ' prime fruit, vegetables, meat, grains, dairy products, etc. That Isn't hay in any tense of the word. " And '.' - It should be added With all this production from ; lands that once were desert .and would be desert still but for the magic of irrigation, the West sparked by the development that v.. fnilmvori the reclamation of its arid lands has grown so rapidly tt-at it still CAN I rtKU naiLT FROM ITS OWN PRODUCTION. It has to IMPORT staple foods meat is a shining example from the Hast and the Middle West. Marketwlse, the East is better off agriculturally than it would be if the West had never, been touched by the magio wand of reclama tion, v Well, industrially thestory Is wholly one-sided. Let's consider automobiles, which are bought and used in the u.t in fflVinimii numbers. Auto mobile ownership per thousand of population is nigner in uie weoi than m any other part of our country. Automobiles are MADE IN THE EAST. Their manufacture gives employment to hundreds of titAocanrie nf F.astern workers. whose payrolls feed the economies of the eastern wwna anu tniM which; the factories are located. , Without the Western market, which has been made possible by the reclamation and irrigation of k. :'rfH land nf the .West, the market for automobiles would be far smaller than it is. Ana auto mobiles are only one item in the net nf ir.nctet-n manufactured products that find a market in the West. , , When the East makes cynical cracks about Western irrigation de velopment. It is stepping on its own feet. Here in the Klamath Basin, we are looking forward eventually to a large increase in our irrigated acreage. We have the land that is capable of irrigation. We have the water to put on it if we don't let somebody take it away from us. In the fabulously growing state of California, we have the MAR KET to which we are closer than anybody else can be. It is true that there is no PRES ENT need to increase our irrigat ed acreage. But let's not Join the East in talking down the FUTURE development of reclamation in our a area. , " By the time the future projects that are now in the planning stage can be carried to the point fit completion there will be a market in the rapidly growing West for the crops that will be grown on these added acres. Potato Aid Plan Okayed WASHINGTON IP Govern ment aid programs for potato growers have been authorized for Washington. Oregon and five southern Idaho counties. The Agriculture Department made the announcement Friday night, The program alsfc Includes Colorado. Maine and two Califor nia counties. The program Is alined at di verting lower grade potatoes from regular commercial channels. Washington growers had made an appeal last week, to be included under the program. Under the program, growers fho sell potatoes for livestock teed or starch will receive a govern ment payment of 40 cents a hun dredweight. The subsidy is in ad dition to what the farmer gets from the sale. Officials said states or counties are authorized to participate upon department approval of plans for diverting all-culls plus at least 20 per cent of the potatoes In higher I grades.

Ike Signs More Documents; Doctors Have Final Word DENVER ue, President Eisen-l hower was pictured as making very satisfactory progress toward recovery Saturday one week after his heart attack. He probably will be. .permitted to sign additional federal documents in the next few days. The White House stressed that the President's physicians will con tinue to have absolute. control over how soon he returns to active com mand of the government. After talkingv-wltli the' doctors. Press Secretary James Cf flagerty told a nevls conference it would be 'a fair assumption" the chief ex ecutive will be allowed to put his name to more official papers dur ing the next week. Friday night the President, still hospitalised, signed two documents the first business, and it was minor, tnat he had transacted since he suffered a coronary thrombosis a week ago. MEDICAL BULLETIN " A medical bulletin from Fitz simons Army Hospital at 7 a.m. (MST) and another at 11:15 a.m. continued to paint an encouraging if cautious picture. .The later one said: State Nimrods Open Season By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS' The deer-hunting season opened in Oregon Saturday with what was expected to be a record number of hunters in the field under sunny skies. Rain storms failed to materallze, and all roads into the hunting areas were open. Foresters warned hunters that fire danger continues in many parts of Central and Eastern Oregon. With fair weather instead of the clouds and rain predicted earlier, game officials said the number of hunters turning out for the opening weekend might go as high as 225.000. The previous high was 212.000 last year. Officials said there were at least 5 many deer in Oregon as last year, when a record ns.uoo were killed. - , The first 14 days will -be lor buck deer only with antlers of at least two DOinls or better. In Jack son. Josephine, Douglas, Coos, and Curry counties and that part of Klamatn county soutn oi mgnway 230 and west of Highway 97, the buck deer season will extend thrnuch October 21. Tne general buck season will" be lollowed by. a seven-day either sex season throughout most parts ot Oregon beginning October 15 and extending through October 21. The Deschutes National Forest in Cen tral Oreeon. however, will have a three-day closure following the gen eral buck season and win men be open for either sex deer begin ning October 18 and extending through October 21. All of eastern Oregon will be open for either sex deer hunting with the exception of Sherman County wnicn win re main closed. West of the Cascade summit the either sex deer areas are confined primarily to agricultural lands and adjacent areas. Hunters are urged tn read the game synopsis for the open areas in Western Oregon.

"He continued to remain out of the oxygen tent." The oxygen tent, a standard pre caution in the early stages alter a heart attack, has been removed from - Einenhower's room alnce early Thursday , morning. , . ' Still another' hospiiat bulletin a! Z tb p.m. reported that the Presi dent was enjoying "a comfortable. quiet day and that he was con tinuing to progress satisfactorily without complications. Mrs. Eisenhower visited lilni briefly at lunch time, then he had his usual afternoon rest period and later listened to recorded music. At his news conference, Hagerty was asked whether a fair summa tion of the President's condition would be that, as a reporter put it, "he is making very satisfactory progress but is not yet out of the woods." "Of course." said Hagerty in fnodding agreement. He acloed he wanted to stress that Elsenhower'3 physicians have said repeatedly that the two weeks after an attack are the period of greatest danger the time when complications are most likely to occur. AIDE TAKES OVER Eisenhower's top deputy, Sher man Adams, took over direction of activities at the Denver White House after flying from Wasnlng ton Friday night. ' I Adams Joined Hagerty at a 90 minute conference with the Presi dent's physicians this morning. The doctors gave Adams a detailed report on the chief executive s heart attack and on the slow pace he will have to travel toward com plete recovery. Hagerty declined to go beyond that in telling about . the confer ence. Adams did not see Eisen hower during his morning visit to the hosr.ltal but arranged to visit with him late In the afternoon. Handicapped Week Backed Whole-hearted support for Na tional Employ the Physically Handicapped Week was urged Sat urday by Mayor Paul Landry who Issued a proclamation to mark Its observance.

"Tile cost of keeping one handi capped person. In dependency ranges from $600 to $1,200 annu ally," the mayor continued. "While Ihe cost of rehabilitating that per son for a useful Job is less than $600. In Oregon last year, 19 per cent of all cases rehabilitated came off of public assistance rolls." Mayor Landry enumerated the following objectives: ( To obtain gainful employment for the handicapped, not only dur ing the forthcoming special week but throughout the year.

(A The smallest audience so far in the Coon-Neu-1 berger debate series on construe- tion ot John Day Dam. turned out here Friday night In Rep. Coon's home town. k It had been thought the home town Interest would swell the nor mally big Democratic turnout, but only 400 showed up to hear Coon advocate his "partnership", dam construction bill and Sen. Dfeuber- Kci , urmuci ai, uppuse u- ' Ncubergcr reiterated his argu ments that Coon's bill for the huge Columbia P-lver power projects would result In more expensive power and that power companies would reap excessive profits. He said that coon Had not ade quately answered the question as to who actually authored the bill. fleugcrber has contended tn past debates that It was written by power companies. Coon replied that he alone was the author of the bill which pro vides for local nublic or private agencies to contribute 273 million dollars for power features of the 310 million dollar dam, and In re turn these agencies- would receive 60-year contracts tor power pro duced at the dam. Coon added, however, that In writing the' bill he had consulted with "many agencies ana people, including private power companies who serve 06 per cent of the peo ple of qregon." Coon also said the bill had been approved by the Army Engineers and other gov ernment agencies. Neuberger, who favors federal construction of the dam, said that under Coon's bill power rates would rise to such a figure that new In dustry would not come to the Pa cific Northwest. The audience, presumably cut by preparations for the opening of the deer season Saturday, and a local high school football game, applauded both speakers equally. The schedule for the remaining debates: Mondav. Ontario; Tues day. Burns: Wednesday, Lakcvlew; Thursday, Klamath Falls; and Fri day, Bend.
