State Water
Plans Cited
PHOENIX, Ariz. W Brig.
Gen. William K. 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.

Meekle
.during a similar 35-day strike ot
trolley and bus operators against
the Pittsburgh Railways Co, in
1954, residents generally have ad
justed to finding other means of
getting to work and to school.
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.

A University of Oregon spokes
