All opposition and the grim
threat of civil war among the
armed force branches--collapsed
in the face of determined action
by supporters of law and order
led by Gen. Henrique Teixeira Lott,
There had been no fighting.
, The man Gen. Lott installed as
, temporary President in a pre-dawn
icoup Friday, Nereu "Ramos, ap
peared secure in office and an air
of calm legality clothed the whole
coup. The new government took a
firm grip with the backing of the
army ana congress.
Carlos Coimbra da Luz, ousted
as the temporary President,
ordered back to Rio de Janeiro
harobr the cruiser Tamandare on
which he fled to refuge Thursday
night. He said the order was his
last official act and begged the
armed forces not to fight among
themselves.
The army coup encountered open,
though passive, resistance from
the navv and air force. But the
air minister. Mai. Gen. Eduardo
Gaomes, signalled the collapse of
l esistfince.
He had rushed to Sao Paulo, Bra

them politically, although defend
ing their right to be inaugurated.

the creation of a five man com
mission to attempt to work out an
Interstate Compact with a similar
commission in California for the
control of the waters of the Klam
ath River. 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

A. Phillips of Trinity county,
James G. Stearns of Tulelake, Nel

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

pear and voice his opinions on
the compact. Date and place of
the Klamath Falls hearing will
be announced later.

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, who celebrated a
mass in the Byzantine (old Slavon
ic) rite which was dedicated to
the conversion of Russia, said that
in the Kremlin is a chapel dedi
cated to tile assumption of the
Blessed Virgin centuries ago, long
before this belief was made a dog
ma of the church.
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.
Two Jet Planes
Vanish On Flight
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Wl Two
Jet planes, each with two men
aboard, vanished on flights from
Elmendorf Air Force Base Friday.
Base authorities expressed the
belief that the men probably para
chuted into a wilderness area
about 50 miles southwest of An
chorage. A search is being cen
tered in that area.
The planes vanished while they
were being tracked by radar. Both
were F89D Scorpions of the 64th
Fighter-Interceptor Squadron.
Helicopters were sent to the area
promptly after contact with the
planes was lost, but bad weather
hampered the search.
The Air Force withheld the
names of the missing men.

Controversy
Frederick Kellogg, dean of the Uni
versity of Mississippi's school .of
engineering, at a Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC)
hearing on financing the power
project. 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.

Reclamation
Finds Fault
With Report
PRINEVILLE un The Oregon
Reclamation Congress decided that
the Hoover Commission report on
water resources and power devel
opment is generally good but baa
some major faults.
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.
