PAGE SEC FRANK JTNKIN8 Editor BUli JENKINS Ttnr Editor Colorado Iliver Bv KEN McLEOD Now that Secretary McKay hac announced that the Department of the Interior will drop Its efforts to force the issue of Echo Part Dam In Dinosaur National MonU' ment what will oe the reaction of the conservation organizations to ward the Upper Colorado River Project in general? I do not Know what action will be taken by croups other than the Izaak Walton League of America, how ever, I suspect that most of them will move largely in the direction ts be taken by the league. The Izaak Walton League has been typical of the conservation organizations concerned with the Echo Park dam threat to the na tional park system. Early this year the league was represented at the Senate and House hearings, voic ing its opposition to Echo Park dam. This appearance, however, was somewhat different from , former objections for the Izaak Walton League advanced a pro. posal which may become a sound and reasonable start on major water development in the upper Colorado River Basin. The pro posal has since been considered by a wide variety of groups and apparently Is gaining considerable support. Moreover it parallels a proposal made early In the year by Colorado Oovernor Edwin C. Johnson; then U.S. Senator. , This proposal is aimple, it calls for a bill which would authorize ' the construction of Olen Canyon ' Dam alone. Olen Canyon, the larg est of the many dams called for in the 'Bureau of Reclamation's over-all program of development of the Colorado, is 1 o c a t e d at the lower end of the upper basin, Just below the Utah-Arizona line, Olen Canyon would have a slor- . age capacity of 36,000,000 acre feet, the equivalent of a lake nine miles square and 500 feet deep I It would form a lake extending 186 milea up the Colorado and 11 miles up the Ban Juan, At the tee of the 580 foot dam would be installed power generators with a ' capacity of 800,000 KW generat ing up to 4.4 billion kilowatt an- . Dually. This vast storage, but 14 per eent less than Lake Meade, Is of paramount Importance to both up- , per and lower Colorado River ba sins, but the reason for Ha Import ance la little understood by most people and warrants explanation. The Colorado River Compact of 1M3 is the basic "law of the riv er" which governs total consump tive water uses throughout the Colorado drainage. The Compact , apportions water use between the . lower basin states, California, Ar izona and Nevada, and the upper i oasin stales, Ulan, Colorado, Wyo ming ana New Mexico. The com- I pact was approved by Congress, Has the force and effect of fed- eral law and la binding upon all states concerned. The compact apportioned a share of the Colorado to the Re public of Mexico. The compact laer by treaty set Mexico's share i at 1.500,000 acre feet annually, it J likewise set the figure of 7,500,000 I acre feet per year as belna the , flow to be apportioned to the low- . er- ana upper basins. Likewise It i made a potential additional one . million feet available to California. ! This adds up to 17,500,000 acre i seei per year. At the time the I compact was signed. It was aa- mimed that the Colorado River I had an average annual flow great- : er than 17.500,000 acre feet. Un- ! hsDplly. hydrologlc studies have determined that the average flow per year at .Lee Ferry, Arlsona (the point on the river separating the upper and lower river basins from 1914 to 1951 was only 15,338,- I wo acre leet ana only 16,400,000 , at the Mexican border. Thus there ' is a basic average water shortage of over one million acre feet. This , shortage Is further complicated by the fact that Uie Colorado River i la extremely erratic in Its flow. ! In one year It has run as little ss : live million acre fret. In another , 2S million. It Is elementary logic that for sound economic develop- mrni 01 any son, necessarily de pends on an assured water sup ply, this erratic flow must be equaled between wet and do years, wet and dry cycles. A fac tory. Industry, irrigated farm or municipality can not operate or exist if adequate water Is unavall- able In one year out of five or two years out of six. Obviously the answer to this problem is a plan whereby waier i la stored In yesrs of heavv run t off. Simply stated, that is the ba sic and unquestioned purpose ol the Colorado River Storage Piol- vcrmons. With surh erratic How, It will oe seen, ior example, that In a year of total run-oft of about 7.5 minion acre feet, should the upper basin use Its full apportioned share of 7.6 million acre leet. Hiere would not be one drop left to flow down stream to take rare or uie apportioned shares belona lng rightfully to the lower basin and Mexico. During the 1930 s in oniv two years wax river flow sufficient to furnish full shares to the upper and lower basins and Mexico. It will be seen then, that holdover storage must be .villi elent to carrv over a period ol several dry yeara. Tins was an ticipated by the compart, which provides that dellverv of the low- er be .Mn share must in no ten year period be less lhan 75.000- 000 acre feet. This provision does something else, and ol critical importance to the upper basin, it places priority on the dellverv of water to the lower basin. Simply aiated, Mexico gets first "whack" at the water, up to 1,500.000 acre feet; the lower basin next for Its t.SUO.OOO acre feet, and what's left if any, the upper batin can use! tElp brali Entered M second clew nutter at the post office at Klamath Falls, Ore., on August 30, IMC, under act of Congreu, March 6 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS - Servinf Southern Oreg on And Northern California IVo Lover By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK Charles Boyer doesn't mind what you call him Just so you don t call mm "th last of the continental lovers." "I never liked that reputation,' he said, then added with a wry smile; "And now I can't live up to It, Age hat taken care of that. "Actually, I really have done only a few highly somantlc roles, but the lover tag stuck to me for some reason. I've been plagued by it, not flattered by it. It is silly to be labeled a 'continental lover and I never accepted the label." In private .life the veteran actor, surprisingly youtruui looking alter more than a quarter century on stage and screen, lives an inter- continental romance. He is mar ried to Pal Patterson, a British actress. Like many another Hollywood star, Boyer has responded to the golden call of television. He now produces 10 dramas a year for "Four Star Playhouse, ' a CBS network program. The new medium has been de m and lng. He made some 60 films In 25 years In Hollywood, but turned out 33 sliowa In his first four years in television. "Finding the material is the big headache," he said. "They are making some 6,000 TV films a year, and it is getting more and more difficult to find good stories. "ine nuniic is wise to all the old plots. They can guess the end ing before It happens. The nubile lines to oe surprised, but It Is very hard to surprise anymore. The public haa become more so phisticated. The (.ling I like best about TV work is the freedom. We are more on our own. While it Is trouble some to find something new and good, at least we don't have " do what we don't like." Boyer, who returned recently from shooting some exterior scenes in Paris, hopes to bring to Broadway next fall a new French play called "Ornlfle. title which be said "doesn't mean anything. It'a Just a name." The actor retains a kind of aae- less charm which seems largelv to spring from a perfect sense of courtesy to others. He haa what. ior lack of a better word, we used to describe back In Missouri as "politesse." It is with him a visible quality and shows In his every movement. He la a man whose perfect manners are a pleasure to watch. He is always poised and pleasant. I asked him If he had any secret of youth to pass on to the rest of us tired, middle-aged lovers. He laugnea, pointed at a tray con taining two big red apples, and ssia: "No, I fust eat one of those ev ery day." Boyer. who became a natural ized citizen during the last war. has never lost s feeling of gratl- tuoe toward his adopted land. Most movie stars like to grouse -on ine record"i about how the Income tax laws art murdering them. Boyer doesn't. An acquaintance tells this atorv "' noyer. ne made a picture ior wnicn ne received $205,000. but the income taxes came to 1134.. 000. A co-star told Boyer It waa a sname ana an outrage that Uncle Sam would let him keen onlv an . 000 of his 1303,000. I can remember when T a little boy In my native France we often had only one rabbit a week to eat," Boyer replied. "And $71,000 will buy me a lot of rah bits." To Ten By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK I Ten biislnrs stories above all others captured the public's fancy In 1968. They moved out of the financial section and onto the front page. Here just one man's nnlnlon are Ihe 10 top business and financial stories of the year: 1. Tne amazing business boom Most people thought 1955 would br a good year. But few foresaw how good it would be. Production rec ords fell in many lines steel, electric power, autos. oil. rubber. Consumer spending, Backed by rec ord incomes, went to new heights. But so did consumer debt. Mnr people had tobs than ever brfnrr and got better pay. Business optl- imam grew as me year went alPng Expansion plans show business bet ting billions on the future. 3. The Ford stock sale. The last of the giant family-owned com panies announced It would let the public buy voting stock but will retain practical control within the lanilly. 3. The stock market's wild year. The bull market was severely but- irura several ttmes. Early In the year the senatorial studv of what makes Wall Street lick sent puces tumbling. The worst break ol all followed the heart attack of Presi dent fcisrnhower. Lesser upa and downs were set off by mergers and rumors of mergers, stock splits mm vainly iookco tor (puts. As 'he year drew to a close stock price averages were arouno their record highs. I rhe stock splits that were msde. Around 100 companies split '.heir stocks. Among those Inter esting the public were U.S. Steel. Clrneral Motors. Jersev Standard Oil. Srsis Roebuik and Monlnoii,. ery Ward While Ignoring split rumors. American Telephone Telegraph marketed a recoid (ISO million dollar Issue of convertible debentures 5. Lay-ofl pay. The auto makers amoiii others, granted a niodllled form of lay-off pay to supplement state unemployment benefits. Wage stales r'lmbed dining Ihe year, fsctory take-home pav rose. mb petes and the AFL and CIO got mar ried. 6. Auto production and sales race. CuUthroat rivalry in Detroit filled the highways with splashing new colors. Americans bought new cars in record volume. 7. Credit curbs. To stave off inflation federal agencies tightened up on mortgage terms, let credit get scarcer and money dearer. But prices of materials and some consumer goods began rising in the second half of the year. The cost of living edged a trifle higher. (. Bumper profits. Record earn ings and dividends were recorded. General Motors was set to report profits in excess of one billion dollars a "first" for any corpo ration. 9. Proxy fights. Embattled stock holders fought msnsgement of sev eral companies. Public fancy was captured most by the battle be tween Bewell Avery and Louis E. Wolfson for control of Montgomery Ward. Avery put most men on the board of directors then stepped down. 10. The Jet age. Airlines raced to place orders for American let propelled aircraft, ending British Hopes oi dominating the field. A few airlines held back, contending mere were disadvantages yet to be overcome. But those ordering Jets fie from Boeing, 61 from Doug las, for a total of 646 million dol lars promised that In a few- years the Hying time across the Atlantic and across the United States will be slashed dramatically. rm ousiness, it s been quite a year. Embarrassing By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON W The ReDUbll cans, because of Philip Young and tne Democrats, may find It a lit tle embarrassing to go around in the 1956 campaign talking about tne number ol security risks they urea irom tne government. The answer to the question "What Is a security risk?" seemed clear enough until Young testified before a Senate subcommittee last week. A security risk was generally understood to be a person whose continued employment in the gov ernment would be a risk to the nation's security. Young is chairman of the Civil Service Commission, which collects and makes public statistics on the number of people bounced from the government under President Elsenhower's security program. In that capacity, he of all neoDle might have been expected to know the meaning of the term security risk. But he testified he didn't know the definition of the term, and didn't use it. If the Impression got around In the 1953 campaign that the gov ernment under the Democrats was loaded with Communists, the Re publicans did their best to foster it. They pleaded for a chance to take over and throw the Reds out. In April 1953. three months after becoming president, Elsenhower laid down a security program for getting out of the government any one whose employment was not "consistent with national security." It provided for firing not only Communists and fellow travelers but others who drsnk or talked too much, or had other undesirable characteristics. If their agency head decided they were In a po sition to endanger security. Loyalty and security cases had been handled under separate pro grams In the Truman administra tion. From time to time thereafter the new administration gave out figures on the number of people fired under this security program. The figures increased by leaps and Uie Democrats said they were pad ded. In the 1954 elections the Repub licans particularly Vice Presi dent Nixon outdid themselves in Ihe claims they made about Reds fired. Nixon said: "We're kicking the Communists and fellow travel ers and security risks out of the government ... by the thousands." The Democrats cried "hosx" and "numbers game." Because their victory In 1964 gave them control of Congress and Its investlgstlng committees, they begsn an investi gation of the security program. They repeatedly called on Young to tell what he knew. Last week Young testified he didn't know the meaning of secu rity risk. He made It clear thai Instead of saying a man was fired as a security risk, he prefers to say he wss "removed as a direct result of an adverse security de termination.'' Who makes Ihe determination that Is. who decides a man should be listed as fired under the security program? Young ex plained: the head of the agency where Ihe man works. He told Ihe committee Ihe EImmv- hower administration has fired 3, 685 workers "because of security reasons." But then he explained. after being prodded, that 75 per cent of those people had not been llred on security charges. There was some question about security In their (lies, he said, but they were sacked on other charges too much dunking might have been one which Young said made them unsuitable for government emplov ment. Did their agency head close out their case by reporting them tiled merely because (hey were unsuit able? No. They were reportrd as tiled under the security program Did these people know ol the derogatory material. them in a question of security. I son. after the Cleveland Browns (hat was In their flies?

JORDAN, M.D. Growths known as polyps from the mucous surfaces of the breath. lng passageways, particularly the nose and throat are extremely troublesome to many people. Re- cently, one correspondent asked about polyps in the nose and an. other about polyps In the vocal cords, and the latter says that they have been removed but have grown back. These growths are not cancers but often block the breathing pas sageways to some extent or inter- lere with the voice or other tunc. tions. Treatment In the past was almost always to remove them by surgery. Although this could usually b done with considerable ease,- polyps oiten grew oacx. Operating may still be necessary in some cases, but In others it has been found that cortisone or ACTH are drugs which may shrink auch polyps to a point where they are no longer troublesome. Further more, many polyps appear to be closely related to allergy end the identification of the substance or substances to which the person is sensitive and appropriate man agement of the allergy may also be so useful that surgery may never oe needed. Q I certainly agree with what you have said regarding the early separation of a mongoloid cnuo irom tne parents, but 1 have a special problem. My moth. er, now approaching her 86th year, insists on keeping my mon goloid brother, now 41 years old, at home with her. I am faced with a serious problem should my mother become 111 or pass away. I could not bring my mongoloid brother Into my home and wonder what could be done under these circumstances, bearing In mind that I could not afford to place him in a private institution? s. A It does Indeed seem wise to tace this problem before it actu ally occurs. I should suggest that you consult someone in the social service Held, either directly, or through your own doctor, on what could be done for your brother if your mother becomes no longer able to care for him. H For the past year I have been troubled with a burning sen sation on the tip of my tongue, re gardless Of what I eat. What pos- sioiiuies must I consider? Mrs. W. A A burning sensation of the tongue may be present without sny apparent cause and some times, In fact, It Is most difficult to una what is responsible. Irri tation Is a possibility; rough or uncleaned teeth or dental plates may produce Irritation at the tin of the tongue. The tongue may have been Irritated by smoking or some iooa or arink. A slight in fection may be present which la not sufficient to have brought other symptoms as well. To some extent the tongue mirrors the con dition Of tne digestive tract and It is therefore possible that aome digestive disturbance Is Involved. vitamin deficiencies are also a possibility, as are some other less frequent disorders. All In all this Is a most difficult symptom to Diagnose ana treat. Quote By UNITED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. New York Qov.
