Eisenhower vetoed on March .11 a bill which would have fixed sup- iiuii prices on major crops at not less man tneir levels last year. Acreage restrictions also would have been held up to this year's levels. He called such action ill advised both for farmers and for the nation Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) asked sena tors to give a careful review to the Eisenhower veto before decid ing whether to try to overrido or siart anew. Ellender's moves indicate the senate will not attempt to upset the veto. This would require a two-thirds vote, a larger margin than the 48-32 marain that sent Ihe farm freeze to the White House. Numerous proposals are pend ing before the committee, toil there were no firm indications wnat type of measure may emerge. Son George D. Aiken (R-Vt), ranking Republican on the com mittee, said there is a good chance lor congressional agreement if a new farm bill is restricted lo cot ton, rice, and corn and other live- stock feed grains. "If we try to load it down with other crops and various farm area pet plans then we will be in trouble and probably get noth ing," he said. Aiken said the main theme for altering cotton and rice nroerams is to allow domestic growers to produce more in order to retain export markets developed in re cent years. This would involve expanding planting allotments and lowering government price supports as sug gested ny secretary Benson and numerous producer groups. Aiken said corn and other feed grains present a special problem now because few farmers have been complying wilh government ciminiis. uugc surpluses are threatening. Tax Slash Decision Due WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker Sam - Rayhurn (D-Texi said Monday there will be a deci sion by the end of this week on whether to push for a tax cut this session or to extend existing laws.

Dr. Rodney also outlined three other ways in which recreation needs are being fulfilled through out the nation. Many persons living outside the cily (eel the provision of recrea tion facilities is a responsibility of county government, the expert de clared. Especially is this true, said Dr. Rodney, in fringe areas of cities where growth is constant ly increasing the need. Since the people's only locally elected ' representatives in fringe areas are county officials, citizens look to them to fulfill their rec rcation needs. Some feel that school districts have some responsibility to pro- viae recreation, tne educator con tinued. In some areas, school dis tricts have worked with counties and cities to fill the need, he added. There are other communities where the cily is providine Dark and recreation service for its own citizens and charging out-of-city residents for their use. In general, this method has been difficult to administer, Dr. Rodney remarked, because of the machin ery needed to establish bonafide residence. The expert talked lo a cross section of some 25 city and county residents who form the committee. The 7:30 p.m. meeting was held in the county library lecture room and lasted two hours. Recreation Director Bob Bonney was on hand to supply first-hand inlormation on current services In passing. Dr. Rodney opined that Mamath tails is getting a "tremendous" amount of recrea tional services for the amount of dollars it is spending for such purposes. He said the national average is $7 per capita, while that of Klamath Falls is $2.70. Release Of Slayer Sought SAN FRANCISCO (CP) Form ation of a committee to seek the release of Robert F.

Delivery Of Water Studied SACRAMENTO (UPD-The Wa ter Resources Department has formulated a new plan for deliv ering water to the South San Fran cisco Bay Area, director Harvey O. Banks said today. The proposal calls for a six-mile lunnel from the proposed San Luis Reservoir through Pacheco Pass to deliver water to the San Benito County area near Hollister in addi tion to the already, envisioned south Bay Aqueduct. The South Bay Aqueduct, if the Legislature votes funds lo build it, would deliver 210,000 acre-feet of water annually from the Delta lo Alameda, Contra Costa and north ern Santa Clara counlies. The new proposal, the Pacheco Pass tunnel, would provide up to 55,000- acre-feet of water annually to San Benito County. Water from Ihe tunnel could also be used for the Pajaro Valley in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. The plan was contained in a new departmental report on South Bay water problems. The report said that imported water would not be required in the southern part of Sanla Clara County because local water supplies could be developed to meet the probable ultimate wa ler needs.
