California Seeks Action
On Klamath River Suit
SACRAMENTO UP Calltor
nla argued today that In the ab
sence of lederal regulations it
should be able to bring to trial a
suit seeking to prevent a power
company from causing fluctuations
in the Klamath River.
"It is unthinkable.'1 said Ralph
1 Sroli, deputy attorney general,
"that the state must stand aside
when the Federal Power Commis
sion has made no regulations.
Even assuming the Federal
Power Commission has exclusive
Jurisdiction, it ao far has- not ex
ercised II," Scctt told the state
Supreme Court. "The state, thus,
is not precluded from taking anv
affirmative action it sees lit. All
ve are asking the company to do
is behave itself."
The court took the ease under
submission.
The state filed suit In Siskiyou
County Superior Court to force the
California Oregon Power Company
to cease causing liuctuatlons on a
75-milo stretch of the river below
Copco's Plants One and Two on
grounds the tluctuations were a
nuisance, oausinc drownings and
killing fish. Bin the Third District
Court of Appeal halted the trial on
grounds the power Installations
were under the exclusive jurisdic
tion of the FPC. Gregory Harrison,
representing Copco, argued that
even though the company has not
yet applied for FPO licenses for
Copco One and Two, an FPO
order that they do so by May,

'"The U. S. hat preempted al!

Buick in history and beats it on every score.
In shimmering steel and solid sinew, it's Buick

it for pure automobile.
You get a good hint of what wc mean when
you take in its sweep-ahead styling-from the
air-splitting prow of its V-front grille to the
robust rake of its canted rear profile.
You get an even better hint when you open the
doors and see the dazzle there. .
But it's when you put this beauty to the city
streets and the open highways that you leant
the best of it.
For here is performance without parallel. A
new advance in Variable Pitch Dynaflow goes
airplanes one better steps up your getaway in
normal driving without flooring the pedal to
switch the pitch. But when you do need that .
extra surge, it's' there instantly and in extra
abundance.
The might of big 322-cubic-iiich V8 engines in
every Scries brings new record high power to
all Buicks RoADMASTEn, Surra, Century, and
the bedrock-priced Special And to handle
such dynamic driving power, tlio whole rear
end has been endowed with extra brawn and
heft and solidity.
Wo could spread before you an acre of blue
prints on the engineering genu that spark the
spectacular performance and ride and handling
and readability of these great Buicks for 1036.
But you can get the full and magnificent story
right now, at our showroom, in a facc-to-face
meeting with the best Buick yef now on dis
play.and setting a dazzling new pattern for 1936,
.Veto fuhanccd Variable Pilch Dijnaflow is the miy
Vynajlnw Bulck builds today. It Is standard on
loadma.stcr, Super and Century optional at modest
extra cost on the Special.
