the committee will try to develop
a wornaoie program.
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.

WASHINGTON (AP) House

should be done.
However, he was questioned at
a news conference ahout published
weekend reports that top congres
sional Democrats and Secretary of
Treasury Anderson have informal
ly agreed against a tax cut now.
Rayhurn said the decision hv
week's end will apply both to ex

a revenge-seeking motorcyclist.
Edward Medina, 21, was arrest

his motorcycle to the curb.
Burns gave Medina a descrip

is chairman of the University of
Oregon's Recreation and Outside
Education Curriculum.
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. Stroud, the
famous Birdman of Alcatraz,1
was announced Sunday.
Stroud, now 68, is in his 41st year
of solitary confinement. He earned
the name of "birdman" because
he became a top authority on bird
diseases end canary breeding dur
ing his years in prison.
Thomas E. Gaddis. author of
Stroud's biography. "The Birdman
of Alcatraz," is chairman of the
committee.
Gaddis said the committee's pur
pose will be to mobilize public op
inion in support of a petition to
President Eisenhower. The petition
will call for an investigation of
the Stroud case.
Stroud was sent to federal' pris
on in llinu for the barroom killing
in Alaska. While at Leavenworth
in 1918, he killed a guard. He was
sentenced to death. His death sen-
lopce included the provision that he
remain in solitary until his execu
tion. In' 1920, President Wilson
commuted his death sentence to
life imprisonment. He moved
from Leavenworth to Alcatraz in
1942.

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.
