OHECnv PAGE 3 A Termination Amendment ? .- Congressman Al Ullman of this : district reported today on the cur rent status of the proposed amend ment to the Klamath Termination Act. already passed hy the Senate and approved last week hy a House Indian Affairs subcommittee. He said the hill next will go he- fore the full Indian Affairs Com mittee "and I will press for early action." I llman declared the suhcommit . lee's okay of the amendment "brings us one step closer to the enactment of a termination pro gram which will protect the inter ests of tribal members while main taining the great resources found on the reservation lands." The congressman reported that the measure as passed by the sub group does not contain "crippling amendments" to the Senate-passed bill and further, that the sub group added some "corrective provi sions." "The only major amendment is one which provides for a review of the original appraisal of the assets of the Klamath Tribe. I be lieve this amendment will ensure an added measure of protection to both the Indians and to potential purchasers." Ullman declared that protection of timber resources "is guaran teed" under continuous yield man agement, with any private sales being subject to a plan of timber management approved by the secretary of interior at time of purchase. Under terms of the bill approved by the subcommittee. Ullman re ported, federal purchase of the Klamath marsh is provided for and all timber units not purchased by private bidders will also be ac quired by the government. If the sub group's approval gets the nod from the full committee, the measure will gb before the full House of Representatives. If it ap proves, then a House-Senate con ference committee will work out differences between the Senate approved version and House approved version for re-passage by both. The w ay the unamended termina tion act now stands, sales are to start being made to private oper ators next month with no provision for sustained yield operation. The amendment would postpone any sales until after July 1, 1059, in order to provide time for the ap praisal review. The Senate version of the bill, introduced by Oregon's Sen. Rich ard Neuberger, specifically makes purchasers of timber guarantee to cut on sustained yield programs. The House sub group-passed ver sion says operators must cut "as far as practicable so as to furnish a continuous supply of timber" in accordance with plans to be sub mitted to the interior secretary at the time of purchase. Current Mideast Turmoil Dates Back Two Years By ELMER C. WAL7.ER UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK, (UPD-There's as much water as there is oil in this Middle East imbroglio. The current situation dotes hack to two years ago when the United States turned down Gamal Abdel Nasser's request for a big loan to finance construction of a new Aswan Dam in Egypt to raise the level of the Nile for wider use of irrigation and offset the buildup of silt of the centur ies. When the loan was refused Nas ser became angry and retaliated. He took over the Suez Canal and eventually blocked it off with sunken ships. Then came a long period when the U.S. supplied Europe with oil to make up for the oil that ordinarily would have come through the canal. And now comes the coup in Iraq with a group favorable to Nasser in control. Iraq is the site of what was once the rich country of Meso potamia. It is no longer rich be cause the canals built several thousand years ago by the Sum merians were destroyed in lalet invasions by Mongols from the north. OIL-WATER MIX When Mesopotamia was irrigat ed it was a fertile area. It was the cradle of civilization, accord ing to the historians possibly the site of the Garden of Eden. Now it is mostly desert and the nation was planning to use some of its vast oil monies to do some irri gating again. Of course, what the world is thinking about mainly in the Mid dle East is oil and not water. Water might provide arable land and make the nomadic tribes set tle down and do some farming, but the oil is what keeps Europe's wheels spinning. Wall Street isn't too much wor ried over the outcome of the oil siliialion. L.O. Hooper, analyst for W.E. Ilutton & Co., points out that Nas ser is no Communist and he adds the Communists do not have a market for oil. About fhc worst that might come could be a grab by the Middle East nations of more oil profits which arc now 50-50 be tween the governments and the oil companies. MANY OILS SECURE Hooper says its seems doubtful wisdom to sell international oils at this time on the development. Standard Oil (N.J.) and Socony Mnhil each have an interest of li" per cent in the Iraq oil. Three others hold interests of 23. 75 per cent each British Pe troleum, Royal Dutch and Com pagnie Francaise. In Saudi Arabia. Jersey Stan dard, Standard of California and Texas Co. each has 30 per cent of the oil and Socony Mobil 10 per cent. Gulf Oil has 50 per cent of Ku wait Oil and British Petroleum the other 50 per cent. In Iran British Petroleum has 40 per cent: Royal Dutch 14 per cent and Compagnie Francaise 6 per cent. Gulf, Jersey Standard, Standard of Calilorma, Texas Co and Socony Mobil each has seven per cent. In Qatar, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch, and Compagnie Francaise each has 23.75 per cent and Jersey Standard and Socony Mobil each Wa per cent, Getty Oil and American Inde pendent each has 50 per cent of oil in the neutral zone. American Independent is owned by several companies, including Phillips, Ashland and Crescent. Jersey Standard brings out 76,- 472 barrels a day from Iraq and that's only 3 4 per cent of its j daily output of 2.235,000 barrels and hence of little real conse-' quence.

W-Dust storms can he created with winds of only 15 miles an hour, two re searchers report. Frank E. Adley and Wallace E. Gill, of the Gen eral Electric Company in Rich land, Washington, said dust counts ranged from 400.000 particles per cubic foot of air at a two mile an hour wind to about 24 million particles in a 16 mile an hour wind. Results of their tests were reported to a recent meeting of the industrial health conference. to be able to take off from U. S. bases in time to intercept bomb ers at that distance. New details on the fantastic. Icng-ranse interceptor and the B70 strategic bomber, both using the same high-energy fuel engines have become available in otiicial and unofficial sources. The Air Force is using much the same development-production technique applied to its missile program to expedite the time when the chemical fuel, high per formance fighters and bombers will go into service. While devel opment is being pushed, the ground for actual, production 31 planes and power plants is be ing laid. However, the first flight of a chemically fueled plane still may be more than two years away. North American Aviation. Inc., has the contracts for both the F108 and B70.

That company already has started design work on an en gine to use the new exotic fuel. At least one other engine manu facturer is entering the chemical ful power plant field. The bomber is expected to be able to match the speed of the Finn interceptor in a burst of speed as it makes its run in to a target, about 2.000 miles per hour. This, it is understood, will be made possible through the use of an afterburner on each of the four engines, into which a mixture of a chemical, such as boron, is fed to intensify combustion.
