Gassidy of the Army engineers suggested Friday that the individual slates must tako leadership in water plans to provide for increasing future needs. Cassidy,. division engineer at San Francisco, said each state has paramount interest in develop ment within its own boundaries and In arriving at a state water plan should seek to reconcile con flicts wilh neighboring states. The address, prepared for the annual convention of the National lieclamation Assn., was read by Col. Carroll T. Newton, district engineer at Los Angeles, alter General Cassidy was called away due to a death in the family. In other convention business, L. 1'.. Coles, l'rineville. Ore., was reelected first vice president and Lorin Maikham. Spokane, was again named treasurer Thursday night. Guy C. Jackson Jr., Ann hunc, Tex., was chosen president, Cassidy said that in his opinion preparation by the individual states of water plans based on forecasts of need and inventories of resources would put stales in position to plan developments to match needs, including better ba sin planning. "Final agreements nnd final plans should he embodied in state law by legislative enactment," he added. The general warned that a growing population and expanding economy result In continual en croachment on the means of satis fying water requirements, espe cially residential, industrial and transportation developments which make potential dam nnd reservoir sites increase in v alue.

But merchants have felt the strike keenly. Many shoppers have put off buying, hoping the walk out won't lost much longer. It is estimated that business of big department stores has been off between 30 and 40 per cent. Sales in neighborhood business sections also have been affected Taking up the transportation slack in a metropolitan area of some Hi million are auto pools, commuter trains, taxicabs and 14 independent bus lines connecting the downtown section with various suburbs. A number of courtesy ride sta lions also have been set up. Some residents simply walk. Before the strike started Oct. 14 Pittsburgh Railways had an esti mated 350,000 daily riders. The "influx of autos into the con gested downtown area has caused several monumental traffic jams. Pittsburgh s hilly terrain, twisting streets and lack of main through ways all contribute to the vexing traffic problem. City officials have moved to ease the situation by inaugurating new traffic rules at some points Others are in the works. There has been some discussion of organized staggering of work ing hours at plants and offices So far nothing much has come ol it. No end of the strike is in sight. Federal and state mediators arc watching closely for a change in position by either side lo call for resumption of stalled negotiations. About 2.200 trolley and bus op erators struck in a contract dis pute centering on wages. The strikers, members of Divi sion 85 of the Amalgamated Assn. of Street, Klectric Railway and Motor Conch Lmployes, demand a 36-cent hourly wage increase in a two-year contract. Before talks collapsed Pitts burgh Railways offered a two- year pact with a 16-cent-an-hour raise over the basic pay rate of $2.14. This included a four-cent cost-of-living increment which the firm offered to freeze into 'the basic scale. Broken Mains Flood NY Area NEW YORK ifi Buslline Man hattan, one of the businest places on earlh, was thrown into a snarl of confusion Thursday night and rriday by a flood from broken water mains. The huge conduits snapped nt live uilierent places. Subways were shut down, forcing thousands of persons to seek other means of transit. Midtown basements were flooded, causing some buildings to turn off heating equipment. Wider supplies of others were disrupted. Torrents of water bursting up ward from broken mains gushed down streets, ripping up pavement and cascading into subway tun nels. ' At one point late Thursday night the lamous Metropolitan Opera House was marooned on an island created by streets full of water all around it. Formally attired pat rons leaving after a performance of "Faust" halted at opera exits in perplexity. The opera management brought scenery trucks into use to trans port patrons, artists, orchestra members and others to dry land. At nearby Times Square, the ater crowds gathered on the fringes of the flood. Police had lo divert much manpower to the task of keeping them clear of danger. Hundreds of police and emer gency workers tried to cope with the situation. The water main breaks oc elli red over a wide area, but the Irouhloi apparently were uncon nected. Two developed shortly after 11 o'clock Thursday night on 40th St. between Sixth Ave. nnd Broad way. One was a 48-inch main and the other a 12-inch. This caused t'je flood in a 24-block area around tile Opera House and Times Square. Burglars Hit Local Office Burglars were disappointed Thursday night when they broke into the offices of the Klamath Stockman's Commission Company. Their efforts to open the office safe were unsuccessful, but they did manage to get away with a check writer, a portable radio and miscellaneous supplier, according to John Newman, one ol the part ners in the firm. Oregon State Police are investi gating the robbery and the dam age that was done. The thieves gained entry to the building by way of a rear door and broke through two other doors to reach the safe. Using an ax and crow bar they broke the dial from the safe but were unable to open it. Jury Finds Man Guilty ,A circuit court jury late Thurs day evening found Jim Clark, 27-year-old itinerant laborer, guilty of attempting to detain a 15-year-old Klamath Union High School girl from her parents. Judge David R. Vandenberg an nounced that Clark, a Sutter Coun ty, California man, will be sen tenced at 10 a.m. Tuesday, No vember 12. The charge could car ry a 25-year, to life sentence. For Clark and the girl, the trial culminated a story that began early in April when the pair are reported to have gone to Califor nia. The girl's parents alerted lo cal law enforcement agencies who in turn notified California author ities. When she was not found, after Clark had been arrested in Marys ville, a third state, Nevada, was alerted to seek her whereabouts. She was later found at the Sac ramento home of her grandpar ents. During the trial, Clark denied that he had promised to marry the teen-ager or during her stay in California had ever said to any one that she was his wife. Deputy District Attorney Free man C. 'Pat) Murray was the state s attorney and Arthur A. Bed doe was Clark's counsel. Foreign Policy Change Urged SAM FRANCISCO (UP) Wal ter P. Iteuther, president of the powerful United Auto Workers Union, believes the United States must abandon a policy of "hates and-fears" if it is to gain the friendship of Asia's millions. In a speech Thursday to the sixth National Conference of the II. S. National Commission for UNESCO, Rcuther called on the administration to fashion a ."posi live approach" in order to win the socio-economic battle against Rus sia in Asia's uncommitted coun tries. Asserting that military power is but the negative aspect of a dynamic foreign policy," Reuther said "the decisive thing is how do you use the time you buy with military power? He declared that time must be used to move against poverty, hunger and human desperation in the great "economic and social cesspools" of Asia. This positive goal, he said, should replace the "negative anti- Communist , basis and Asia should get top priority in Ameri ca's plans. Reuther, who recently toured Asia, urged a change in the American attitude that deplores the neutrality of India. "As India goes, so goes free dom's cause in Asia," he warned. He asserted that India's revolu tion was inspired, not by Karl Marx, but by Thomas Jefferson. Jle said the 600 million dollars that country needs for its second five-year plan is a sum which was spent every 10 hours during World War II. - "We must be prepared to extend aid based upon what their needs are, not on what the Communists are going to give them," he said. styles by jr that run th Others At 3.9 fa S.fS 1 Come In and too fm ssfl, wM w siim and ssyhw ajs go VAN ORMAN'S "Your Family Shoe Store" 527 Main Ph.

SURGEONS REPORT SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Duke University surgeons, who studied small skin samples in chemical solutions, say human skin will re main alive for 26 hours after a person's death. Mrs. Nicholas G. Georgiade and Kenneth- L. Pick rell told the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Sur gery Conference Thursday that temporary grafts of skin from a dead person could save the life of another person who suffered ex tensive skin loss from injuries. But they said permanent grafts would have to be made from the pa tient's own skin.

A University of Oregon spokes man countered with the sugges tion that OSC s homecoming court also become a revolving trophy. OSC students, however, ap peared to have the edge in the discussion. They stole the big "O" from a Eugene hillside and still have it. Some Oregon students stole OSC's homecoming court. But they gave it back. OSC student body president Charles Dunn proposed that the "O" go to the winner of the Nov. 23 football game between the two schools. Said Oregon student body presi dent Jim Lynch: "Perhaps OSC should also make the homecoming court a revolving trophy." OSC students Oct 28. stole the university's "O". Oregon students abducted the OSC homecoming court in retaliation, but later gave the girls back.
