Money was appropri ated for that purpose. Governor Patterson thereupon appointed Oeorge Stevenson of Olene, Harry Pearson of Chiloquin, James Kerns Jr. of Klamath tFalls, Ralph Hoot er of Ashland, and Nelson Reed of Klamath Falls to serve on the Oregon commission. Mr. Reed was elected chairman and the commission hired Lewis A. Stan ley as its engineer to make a comprehensive study of the water resources of the Upper Klamath Basin. ' " . Mr. Stanley's survey was com pleted and published in December 1954, and was presented to the 1955 ' Oregon Legislature. Shortly thereafter Mr. Stanley was ap pointed state engineer by Governor Patterson. In March 1955 the Ore gon Commission hired Howard R. Stinson who had had much to do with writing the Columbia River Compact as Its legal consultant. Mr. Stanley's and Mr. Stinson a advice have been Invaluable to the Oregon Commission. In the. summer of 1954 Governor Knight of California appointed William Hagelstein of Dorrls, Bert A. Phillips of Trinity county, James G. Stearns of Tulelake, Nel son Bowles of Eureka, and A. D. Edmonston, state engineer of Cali fornia to serve on the California Klamath River Commission. On August 9, 1955 Congress passed an act authorizing the states ot Ore gon and California to conclude a Klamath River Compact. The first joint meeting of tne two commissions was held in Klam ath Falls on July 29, 1954. Since tnat time many joint meetings have been held in Klamath Falls and Sacramento, attended by the members of both commissions, their engineers, and legal consul tants. Finally in October of this year, a Klamath River Compact was agreed upon by the two com missions. It has been submitted to all interested federal and state agencies with a request that they make a comment they desire in writing prior to the hearings to be held in Salem, December 2 and 3, and in Sacramento Decem ber 6 and 7. After this series of articles de scribing the ' compact has been published in the Herald and News and other papers in this area, and copies of the compact have been sent to all interested groups such as Irrigation Districts, a pub lic hearing will be held in Klam ath Falls where anyone may ap pear and voice his opinions on the compact. Date and place of the Klamath Falls hearing will be announced later. (to be continued) Mass In Kremlin Seen By Sheen BOSTON l Bishop Fulton J. Sheen told more than 4,000 Cath olic worshippers at Holy Cross Ca. thedral Friday night that one day he would celebrate mass in Mos. cow's Kremlin.

Bishop Sheen said "some day Bishop Elko (head of the Byzan tine rite) and I will go to Russia and we will say mass in this cna pel in the Kremlin." The bishop wore a gold Jeweled cross, designed by one of the Czar's jewelers a century ago for a Russian archbishop.

Not so, replied Asst. Atty. Gen. Warren Olney III. He said there was no Indication of a crime com mitted and if there were, the gov ernment had almost "no chance" of proving the case. The Senate antitrust and mono poly subcommittee was the scene of this newest flareup in the long standing controversy over the Eis enhower administration's now-de funct contract to bring private power into the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) area.

Kellogg appeared for the city of Memphis, Tenn., which fought the contract. Kellogg has said that on Dec. It, the day before he was to appear at the SEC, he got a call from his university provost, Dr. Alton Bry ant, saying some people in Jack son, Miss., were "very much up set" that Kellogg was going to testify. In a memo he wrote up after the telephone conversation, Kel logg reported Bryant said: I got this call , . .saying that they had been called from Wash ington. They said they had Intend ed to contribute to our airport, and to give some equipment to the en gineering school, and that here you go testifying against them. I prom ised to lind out just what was go ing on and call back . . .You do whateer you think Is best." The memo said Kellogg s rccol lection was 4,not clear" as to whether Bryant said who the 'they" were. In a later conversa tion with SEC officials Bryant was reported as saying "some of the alumni" were among those asking auout Keuogg s testifying dui ury. ant didn't care to name tnem. Kefauver said after a go-round with Olne.y Saturday: ,"1 think the Department of Justice was called on to make an investigation." It was important, the Tennes- sean said, "to find out. who were they and the nature" of their communications. Sen. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) said it looks to him as if the matter was brushed off and thrown into the waste basket ... I feel the Justice Department, on a conclusion that the evidence couldn't be found, made no search for It." Olney acknowledged to Kefauver that the Justice Department had not tried to find out who the uni versity alumni "they" were. Nor had it Interviewed Kellogg, Bryant or anyone else on the matter, he said. But the Justice Department wit ness saicij Bryant had denied to Robert A. McDowell, the director of SEC's Division of Corporate Regulations, that he had received a call from Jackson or had linked the calls he received with the con tributions to the airport or the en gineering school. Olney said he had no doubt that Kellogg, in writing the memo, had given his best recollection of his conversation with Bryant but he said that Bryants conversation with McDowell denying the "ma terial points ' was a more accur ate record because It had been taken down by a stenographer. Furthermore, Olney said, even assuming Bryant had said all that Kellogg reported, tne justice De partment would have "no chance" of proving the case without using Bryant as a witness. And Bryant already was on record with his denial, Olney noted. TO - WALL COMFORT AT ALL BASGBOALIE) HEAT surrounds your home .wifh curtain of warmth ELECTRICAL PVT.

The delegates In their 43rd an nual meeting which closed bera Saturday, said the National Rec lamation Congress ought to take a fresh look at the whole subject, consider other reports on water policies, and get local and regional opinion. . .. These were three points on which the Hoover Report was criticised: proposal for a board on water re sources at the cabinet level with what some called "veto power over Congress;" proposed increase In the Bureau of the Budget technical staff to review all proposed recla mation projects; and recommend ation that the present revolving; funds for specific projects be abol ished. On this last point. Victor Boehl of Grants Pass, chairman of the groups water policy committee, said the Oregon congress would wage a continuing fight to retain revolving funds on reclamation projects. Paul House. Nyssa. was elected president; Tom Crawford. Lake- view, was named vice president; and Clancy Jean, Portland, waa re elected' secretary treasurer. La Selle Coles, Prlnevllle, was again named Oregon representative to tne National Reclamation Assn. At Friday nlght'a banquet meet ing, Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore) aald the Hoover report was hostile to further Western irrigation and he advocated power subsidies to help support irrigation of new farm lands. Neuberger aald this waa "of the same piece" as Hoover recom mendations to abolish postal sav ings, raise parcel post rates, and to sell Bonneville and the TVA. The senator also urged a new farm policy to provide direct pro duction payments to farmers, rather than price-support loans on six baste commodities. He advo- ' cated the Domes tip Parity plana for wheat and suggested some form of the Brannan plan for such' commodities as dairy products, row crops and orchard frulta. Accident Charge Jails T.
