Averell Harriman will speak in Oregon Nov. 22 instead of in De cember as announced earlier. Democratic State Chairman How ard Morgan reported Monday. He said the change in dates had been made by the Democratic Na tional Committee to insure Harri man an opportunity to talk with all party workers.

SHOOTING HOURS CALIFORNIA October 19 OPEN CLOSE 5 51 5:20 Price Five Cents IS Paaea Tule Water Bureau Pact TULELAKE The Tulclake Irri gation District board of directors met Monday morning at 10 a.ni. in the district offices in Tulelake and. by a vote of four to one, empowered the president and sec retary of the board to take all legal steps necessary to secure approval of a proposed repayment contract between the district and the Bureau of Reclamation. The basis of the contract draft is that each landowner will repay to the bureau $85 per acre in con struction charges assessed against the land, plus the somewhat slight ly more than S3 million to cover general construction. TO T.Y S89.000 This means that the Tulelake Ir rigation District each year will pay approximately SR9.000 to the bureau until the costs of the pro tect are paid off. Against this $89,000. the district will receive annually S.'0.000 or 30 per cent, whichever is lesser, of the net revenue from the 160.000 acres of unhomesteaded land which is leased out annually to the highest bidders, The vote approving the contract found Directors Ivan Rose. Harry Lynch and Frank King aligned in favor of the proposal against the bincle hold-out. Director Paul Tschlrky. Directors took riote of a meeting called by Tschirkj-. Fri day night at which 42 persons were present to hear him explain why he opposed the contract. The directors held that the seven persons at the meeting w ho voiced i approval of Tschlrky's plan consti-l tuted such a minority of landown-1 ers that the board was justified! in proceeding with approval oi the contract.

No. 3304 East States Tackle Big Cleanup Job By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS With floodwaters draining back into river beds after a weekend rampage, stricken sections of six Northeastern states today tackled a backbreaklng cleanup Job. For some areas it was the sec ond such task in less than two months. The floods, which left a dead and missing toll of 43, hit hardest at Connecticut. The same state took the brunt of the Aug. 19 floods that rode the tall or Hurricane Diane. Rains that fed the latest Hoods stopped or changed to light show ers yesterday throughout the flood 1' .'It, which stretched through sec tions of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. SLIMY DEBRIS I The receding waters left behind piles of slimy debris, wrecked homes and businesses, washed-out highways and railroads, broken bridges and snarled power lines. The federal government provided variety of aids for the stricken areas. .' , The governors of Connecticut. New York and New Jersey were nuviaca oy onerman Adams, as sistant to the President, that the "major disaster" declaration two months ago had been extended to cover the new floods. This en allied the Small Business Adminis tration and the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Washington to take st?ps to help flood victims. Val Peterson, Federal director of civil defense, inspected the area so he could take a first-hand report to President Eisenhower. From his sick bed in Denver, the President pledged all aid possible to the dis aster area. The Red Cross estimated 8.900 families were homeless or went back to damaged dwellings. nil. the destruction of last week end came nowhere near the severity of the Aug. 19 floods. In Connecticut alone thai disaster took 74 lives and caused more than 215 million dollars in damage, com pared to 16 dead and missing in the second round of floods. ARM V ESTIMATES Army Engineers, who did 12 mil lion dollars worth of repairs after Diane, figured the new floods left them wil h four million dollars worth of work to do. Some of this work will be a mat ter of repairing once again the facilities they had fixed before. &omc of the repair work will be new. Of the 48 Connecticut towns hit by the latest floods, 28 had suffered damage from Diane. The New Haven Railroad, hit so hard it had to suspend operations for a time, restored some service yesterday and had even more trains running today. The New Haven estimated Us most recent flood damage amount ed to not more than a million dol lars, compared to a 10-inillton-dol-lar loss in the Aug. 19 floods. Highway washouts snarled traf fic throughout the region. Emer gency repairs ca.sed the congestion tc a degree, but as late as yesfer dHy afternoon cars were backed up Inr IS miles by a detour around damaged section of the Mcrrltt Parkway.

Telephone till Dulles Wants Lower Level Discussions WASHINGTON lB Secretary of state Dulles said Tuesday Com munist China has formally raised the question of a high level meet ing with the United States to dis cuss outstanding Far East prob lems. He told a news conference Red China's representative at Geneva brought up this question along with Red objections to the Western trade blockade. Dulles msUo It clear he opposes any such hjgh level meeting until the present lower-level Geneva talks are completed. He said the possibilities at Geneva havo not yet been exhausted. , Dulles disclosed that the Chinese Communist and American special ambassadors, who have been dis cussing repatriation of civilians since Aug. 1, have not turned to "other practical matters" on their agenda, ;' IN DISCUSSION It is in discussion of this second broader item, he said, that Chi nese Ambassador Wang Ping-nan raa raised Ihe question of a higher level meeting, presumably at the foreign ministers level and also at Geneva. Dulles news conference was his last prospective meeting with re porters nere oeiore ne Big Four foreign ministers meeting to begin in ueneva uci. 37, He planned to go to Denver by special plane Tuesday afternoon to review with President Elsenhower l.hf nrORTtentn fnr the runmi.

It had been announced earlier that he would to to Paris. uuues said ne would discuss common proolems .with Jljjtan ot. tloiala. -He did Tint specify what these problems are, .... from Home, he will eoto Paris of. for sessions with the British and French foreign ministers prior to the Geneva meotlnc with ovlet Foreign .Minister Molotov; KKPLIES TO QUESTIONS in reply to questions. Dulles al so told his news conference; 1. He snares the view Vice Pres ident Nixon expressed Monday night in a New York SDeech that there l.i more chance for practical steps to ease East-West tensions at the Geneva foreign ministers meeting than at any other such meeting in the pajt 10 years. He expects substantial progress to be made toward unification of Ger many. 2. He plans lo discuss at infor mal separate meetings with Mo lotov the West's objections to Com munist weapons shipments to Effjpt and other Arab countries. 3. There were some emotional aspects of Ihe Russia tarm dele gation's visit to the United State which he found undesirable but that on the whole he approves of such exchanges of visitors with the Soviet Union. He did not Identify tne emc'ionai aspects, but did sav they might not give a good impres sion in Russia. Discusolng progress In Ihe pres ent American-Red Chinese trlks, Dulles said Johnson has brought up 'his country's desire that the Pciplng regime publicly renounce the use of force as a means oi nettling international disputes. Dulles has Irequently urged the Chinese Communists to do this, saying the United States will not negotiate Far East problems with a leaded pistol pointed at Its head FIRST DISCI.OSURK Dulles' news conference remarks constituted the fir..t disclosure that the ned Chinese and American ambassadors al Geneva had moved on to the second phasd of their talks. Until now, American inform ants hfd reported only that the negotiators were talking about '.vhat issues to bring up in this second category, not the Issues themselves. Duller, In reply lo questions, said that while the negotiators have moved on to Item No. 1. the United 8taies has reserved the right to reopen talks on the first prcblem discussed repatriation of each other s nntlonals It A be- lleves Red China Is not following through on a pledge to free all ' Americana In Red China, Thus lar, Dulles said, the 10 ' Americans now held In Red Chi- i nese Jails have not been permitted tn exercise their right to go home. even thoueh Red China pubilely promised to give them this oppor tunity five weeks ago.
