City Water Supply Assured
For Expanding Population
By FRANK JENKINS
The U.S. Air Force disclosed
the other day that by 1961 some
three short years hence it ex
pects to develop an electronic
brain that will be capable of
TRANSLATING RUSSIAN BOOKS
by the push of a button.
Special tape on which the Rus
sian text has been typed will be
fed in at one end of the robot.
and a tape bearing the ENGLISH
translation will come out at the
other end.
Just like that!
All this prompts a thought.
Why bother any more to learn
foreign languages?
Why not let the machine do It
all?
Well, there would be problems.
For example:
The jigger is described as
"about the size of several tall
filing cabinets" that is to say
somewhat bigger than a kitchen
range.
And
Presumably
You'd have to have a separate
machine tor each language. Sup-
pose you..were touring Western
Europe and felt that you'd like to
talk to people in Norway, Sweden,
Denmark. Holland, Germany,
France, Spain and Italy not to
mention Russia. If you wanted to
accomplish it painlessly (merely
by the punch of a button) you'd
have to carry some eight or nine
of the robots around with you,
Toting eight or nine machines
the size of a kitchen stove around
with you all over Western Europe
wouia get tiresome. Not only that,
but it would cost a whale of a lot
in the way of tips.
So -
I think '
If you want to know what other
peoples are thinking if, to use a
modern term, you want to COM
MUNICATE you'd better go
ahead in the old-fashioned way
and Jearn their languages.
It will be easier in the long run.
The next development along
these modern lines of communica
tion will probably be a dictat
ing machine that will transcribe
what you say into written words.
You'll just talk into one end of
It and your winged thoughts will
come out, neatly 'typewritten, at
the other end. (The telephone
company's engineers are reported
to be working on a jigger of that
sort, and what the telephone com
pany's engineers tackle has a hab
it of showing up sooner or later
as reality.)
That brings up something else.
I reckon maybe the final step
will be a machine that WILL
DO OUR THINKING FOR US!
A new well has been brought in
for Oregon Water Corporation at
the Conger Avenue waterworks to
insure a good domestic and indus
trial water supply for this area.
The new artesian well, with sub
surface pumping, will be used
with the four present wells which
provide water by means of sur
face centrifugal pumps. Because
the combining of the two types of
pumping from the same ground
water strata is a departure from
the usual procedure, there is much
interest all over the state in the
results, according to Glenn D.
Bowen,- local water company man

week to watch the tests.
Solon Scores
Aid Bill Loss
WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Hu
bert H. Humphrey (D-Minn) to
day attributed to a State Depart
ment "double cross" the one-vote
defeat of a proposal to permit
use of foreign aid funds for Red
satellite nations.
He contended the department
endorsed and helped to write the
proposal as part of the foreign
aid bill, but backed down when
President Eisenhower decided to
ask the authority under separate
legislation. .
The Senate, after stormy debate
voted 43-42 last night to remove
the proposed new authority from
the $3,712,900,000 foreign aid bill
It hopes to complete action on
the measure by tonight.
Twenty-six Republicans 17 Dem
ocrats joined in rejecting the
idea. Twenty - seven Democrats
and IS Republicans voted for it.
The proposal would specifically
have authorized the President to
provide economic or financial as
sistance to any country except the
Soviet Union, Red China and Com
mumst North Korea, if he found
such assistance to be in the na
tional interest. It was designed to
help Communist satellites relax
the control of Moscow.
The Foreign Relations Commit
tee wrote the provision into the
bill in the form of an amendment
by Sen. John F. Kennedy (D -
Mass). The vote to remove it was
on motion of Senate Republican
Leader William F. Knowland of
California.
Bowen reports that, during test
pumping, flow reached 4.600 gal
lons of water per minute with a
46-foot drawdown. It is anticipat
ed that the new well ' will be
equipped with a 350 horse power
turbine pump which will produce
minimum of 3.500 gallons of water
per minute. Test pumping equip
ment nas been furnished by Inter
state Pump Sales Company of
Klamath Falls.
"Apparently the subsurface
pumping is not having too much
effect on the water level of the
other wells," Bowen said. "From
some of- the intricate tests made,
it appears that Klamath Falls is
going to have plenty of water for
a long time to come. The artesian
water supply we are tapping
seems to be sufficient for a popu
lation three times the present size
ot Klamath f alls.
It will take another month and
a half to complete the nroiect,
bowen said and the cost will total
approximately $25,000.
One of the advantages of havine
the new artesian well in operation
is . that it can provide sufficient
water for the community in case
of failure of the existing wells or
pumping plant, Bowen said. That
is particularly important for ade
quate fire protection, he added,
Klamath Falls and the suburban
area served by city water use
maximum of 10.5 million ea ons
a aay miring the peak of sum
mer weather This drops to ap
proximately 3.4 million gallons a
day during the winter months. The
new well is expected to increase
the city water company's output
from 8,000 gallons a minute to
more than 10,000 gallons per
minute.
Oregon Water Corporation
serves approximately 8,400 domes
tic customers. Bowen said, and the
new well will provide plenty of
water for the steadily growing
population.
be Gaulle In
Oran On Last
Campaign Leg
ORAN. Algeria (AP) Premier
Charles de Gaulle told representa
tives or the all-Algeria Public
Safety Committee Friday its in-i
surgent authority must come to an
end. He said he will run Algeria.
He named Gen. Raoul Salan, mil
itary commander of the junta, as
his own delegate-general in Al
giers a new post.
But De Gaulle will personally
assume control of Algerian affairs,
acting as his own Cabinet minister
for the strife-torn territory.
De Gaulle said the committee,
which led the drive to bring him
to power, must now concentrate
on integration of the Moslem and
European communities in Algeria.
On the last day ot nis tour oi
Algeria, he told representatives of
the Algerian and the local safety
committee:
"You must not trespass or sub
stitute yourselves for legal author
ity. Your task is to work for a
comnlete integration of souls."
His statement cleared up his
attitude on the future of the public
safety committee movement that
spread throughout Algeria as wen
as metropolitan France and parts
of the French Empire.
"France is here," De Gaulle
told t h e cheering thousands
massed in the Place Foch. "She
is here in you, men and women
of Algeria! She is here in her ar
my which goes about its magnin
cent goal of security and unity
with loyalty and honesty.
"She is represented here with
her timeless goal and mission
which expresses itself In three
words liberty, equality, frater
nity."
It s up to the government, he
continued, "to take note of what
is going on here and to hope that
the movement which sprang up
here will embrace all Frenchmen
everywhere."
Algeria Rebs
Seek Support
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. tAP)
Algerian rebel leaders, con
temptuous of Premier de Gaulle's
plan to make their people French
men instead of independent Al
gerians, are going to ask the U.N
General Assembly again to back
their fight for freedom.
M'hammed Yazid. spokesman
at the United Nations for the Na
tional Liberation Front (FLN),
said the only prospect for the
rebels is to continue "a war we
are sure to win in the end."
Ho said the war would spread
to ell North Africa and De Gaulle
would be responsible for the
bloodshed.
Yazid's promise of continued
and spreading war echoed a com
munique from the Cairo head
quarters of the FLN. spearhead
of the 43-month-old rebellion.
By joining the French extrem
ists fighting the Algerian demand
for independence, said the com
munique, De Gaulle "closes the
door to anv possibility of a nego
tiated solution based on the inde
pendence of Algeria."
Yazid announced he would call
for a meeting of the 28 Asian
African U.N. delegates next week
to start drafting a request that
the Assembly take up the Alger
ian issue at its session next fall

diplomatic sources reported Fri
day that Premier Charles de Gaulle
is expected to put Jacques Sous
telle on the shelf by naming him
France's ambassador to the United
States.
Sending the 46 - year - old fire
brand Gaullist deputy to Washing
ton would please the moderates
and leftists whose support De
Uaulle needs in France. But it
would infuriate the extreme right
ists in France and Algeria who
have been demanding he take
position of power in De Gaulle':
government.
After the French revolt in Al
giers May 13 against Premier
Pierre Pflimlin, the government
put a police guard on Soustelle.
He eluded the guard, flew to Al
giers and took the leading civilian
role in the insurgency which
brought. De Gaulle back to power,
During De Gaulle's current tour
of Algeria, Soustelle has joined
the premier in all his public ap
pearances. Repeated shouts of
Vive Soustelle often as strong
as the vives for De Gaulle have
underlined that he is the hope of
the French colonists.
Soustelle worked closely with De
Gaulle during World War II and
was his chief political aide for
some years after the liberation of
France. But there have been re
ports that the general has cooled
in recent years toward Soustelle,
although he has neter disavowed
him publicly.

ent ambassador to Washington,

Labor Group
Back At Work
WASHINGTON (AP) Chances
of shaping a labor bill that can
win the support of Sen. John L.
McClellan (D-Ark) appeared im
proved today.
The full Senate Labor Commit
tee goes back to work on the
bill again with a Saturday session
planned if necessary to finish the
measure.
Sponsors of a middle-of-the-road
bill consider McClellan's support
important because he is chairman
of the Senate Rackets Committee,
The findings of that group have
stirred up much of the support
for iabor control legislation at
this session of Congress. McClel
lan himself has proposed stiffer
federal regulation of labor unions
than that provided in the pending
bill of Sen. John F. Kennedy ID-Mass).
McClellan's support of a com
promise bill could be expected to
influence some senators who oth
erwise might demand stricter reg
ulations and penalties.
McClellan was reported to have
told Kennedy he could support the
bill if some additional changes
were made.
The bill among other things
would require secret election of
union officers and limit the length
of their terms. It also would re
quire full public reporting of un
ion affairs. On the other hand, it
would repeal or modify some Taft
Hartley provisions opposed by la
bor leaders.
The committee, in its only vote
during the first day of considera
tion of the bill, defeated 8-5 an
amendment by Sen. William A
Purtell (R-Conn) to require a vote
by a union's membership before
striking.
WASHINGTON (AP)-Lewis L.
Strauss, chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission, has decided
to leave the post which has em
broiled him m a series of contra
venes.
Strauss' decision was announced
by the White House yesterdayHe
leaves June 30 when his five-year
term ends.
There was no immediate word
on his successor.
Strauss gave no specific reason
for his decision. But he said in
a letter to President Eisenhower
that he believed "circumstances
beyond the control of either of us
make a change in the chairman
ship of the commission advisa
ble."
This could rave been an allu
sion to speculation that his renom
ination might run into stiff opposi
tion in the Senate.
Capitol Hill reaction to his de
cision was mixed, with some Con
gress members lauding his "great
contributions" and others voicing
pleasure at his impending departure.
The 62-year-old Stauss, a for
mer New York banker, also will
give up his post as special advis
er to bisenhower on atomic en
ergy matters. But he will become
the President s special assistant
in charge of promoting the atoms-
for-peace program. As such, he
will lead the U.S. delegation to an
international scientific conference
on peaceful uses of atomic energy
in Geneva, Switzerland, next September.
Strauss was named to the AEC
by former President Truman in
1946, soon after the agency was
created. He served until 1950 and
then was appointed by Eisen

The slim rocket roared straight

WASHINGTON (AP) The gov
ernment reported Friday an im
proved employment situation in
May. There was a substantial rise
among those employed and a de
cline in the number of idle workers.
A joint report by the Commerce
and Labor Departments put May
employment at 64,061,000, up 1,
154.000 from April.
Unemployment declined by 216,-
000 to 4,904.000 lowest idle fig
ure since January.
The job gain was attributed to
seasonal expansion in agriculture
and service employment, plus a
bigger than usual gain in con
struction. The report said a sharp
pickup in outdoor work represent
ed in part recovery from the delay
caused by especially bad weather
earlier in the year.
The employment rise In May
was much greater than the drop in
unemployment primarily because
most of those-joining the farm la
bor force were housewives and
students who had been outside the
labor force in April.
The report said sizable reduc
tions in unemployment among
previously jobless workers were
partially onset by an increasing
number of students seeking sum
mer jobs. This student influx into
the labor force is expected to push
the unemployment total well over
the five million mark in June or
Julv.
Employment In manufacturing
where recession effects have
been most severe declined by
67,000 to 15 million, but this was
described as only slightly more
than the seasonal trend for the
month.
Compared wilh a year ago, man
ufacturing employment is down by
1.700.000. with more tnan lour-
fifths of it centered in durable

Auto Body
Plant Closed
By Chrysler
DETROIT (ffl Chrysler
Corp. shut down assembly opera
tions at its Plymouth body and
assembly plants in Detroit Friday.
This was the first such action by
any of the car makers during oper
ations without labor contracts.
The company said 2,700 employ
es were sent home after 100 mem
bers of the United Auto Workers
Union walked off the job in the
trim department of the Plymouth
body plant.
The UAW, which has instructed
all members to work as usual dur
ing a non-contract period, had no
immediate comment.
Chrysler said two employes who
served as union stewards under
the old contract refused to work
at assigned jobs and provoked a
walkout.
The shutdown came as UAW
President Walter P.Reuther
sought to prevent incidents involv
ing workers at General Motors
and Chrysler Thursday from dis
rupting the uneasy truce In auto
industry contract negotiations.
Reuther, after getting reports
from top aides on the Chrysler
and General Motors situations, re
peated his order that the UAW
members must keep peace at all
costs in auto plants until contracts
can be worked out.
Nearly 500.000 UAW members
have been working without a con
tract since the three-year
pacts expired, GM on May 29 and
Ford and Chrysler Sunday.
The first incident occurred
Wednesday night when pickets
ringed the General Motors Fish
er Body plant near Pittsburgh,
Pa. Leonard Woodcock, head of
the union s GM negotiating com
mittee, said the dispute centered
about local grievances.
Pickets at the plant were re
moved last night and production
was resumed by the overnight
shut.
Chrysler's dispute resulted from
company action in handing out
brief suspensions to some UAW
stewards and committeemen in
Chrysler plants across the coun
try. Chrysler denied UAW charges
that it was trying to provoke
workers into a strike. The com
pany said the' only ones disci
plined were those who had flatly
refused to go to work.
Ford, whose workers have not
been involved in any incidents,
met with the UAW yesterday
and had another session today, as
did GM. Chrysler and the UAW
will meet again Monday.

her of leading businessmen have
given qualified backing to lax cut
ting as an anti-recession measure.
- But even as their views were
made public yesterday, the House
voted to continue present tax
rates on corporation income and
certain items such as automo
biles, cigarettes, whisky, beer and
wine.
Although many House members
would like to cut taxes this elec
tion year, they went along with
the decision of their leaden and
the Eisenhower administration
against any reduction at thia ses
sion. The main reason: prospec
tive big budget deficits.
The Senate is expected to fol
low the same course, although ef
forts probably will be made there
to sain tax relief for the ailing
automobile and rail industries.
The business leaders, respond
ing to a questionnaire from the
Senate Finance Committee, were
by no means enthusiastic about
the idea of tax reduction.
Most of the 14 men polled by
the committee favored caution in
employing government action to
bring about an economic upturn.
There were expressions of con
cern that such action might spur
inflation.
Nine of the businees leaders
voiced support for the tax-cutting
idea in varying degrees. Several
said such a move should be con
sidered if the recession deepens.
A few called for repeal or modi
fication of transportation levies.
In general, tax reduction was
preferred over public works.
