SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 1859 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 9 A Lake County Aqua Decline Threatens Acres Of Hay LAKE VIEW Irrigation water shortages in Lake County pose a serious threat this summer to nearly 100,000 acres of meadow hay. it was reported here Tuesday at the annual water forecast meet ing. Some 15,000 acres of alfalfa hay. grain and pasture irrigated from reservoirs face a brighter outlook due to good carryover of stored water from last year. . Farmers and ranchers depending upon natural streamflow were urged to irrigate carefully to stretch water supplies as long as possible into the summer months. Water content of the mountain snow-pack is only 42 per cent nor mal and less than one-fourth as much as last year, said W. T. Frost, Oregon snow survey super visor for the Soil Conservation Service and Oregon State College agricultural experiment station. ..- Forestry officials also reoorted exceptionally dry watersheds and predicted logging operations would start about a month early this year. "This also means the fire sea ,son in the forests will probably come a montn early, said Clay' ton Weaver, Lakeview, supervisor of Fremont National Forest . Water shortages are already be ing felt by stockmen, -and it was reported some sheepmen have' started trucking water to range animals due to lack of water in the smaller stock ponds. Oris Rudd, Lake County exten sion agent, said ranges are in fair shape considering generally poor moisture conditions last winter. Also on the brighter side Is a good carryover of hay in the area due to the mud winter. - Farmers in the valley bottom are busy this week seeding spring grains about three weeks early to take advantage of warm weather nd present soil moisture. Stored water assures these lower lands plenty of water for the April througlLJuly irrigation season. Both Cottonwood and Drew reser voirs are holding normal water supplies for this time of year, al though it is doubtful either will fill to capacity. Frost reported. Net inflow fpr Drews for April through July was forecast at only 47 per cent, or 14,000 acre-feet, The reservoir is now holding 47,400 feet and is normally called upon for 35,000 a.f. plus 25 per cent loss es through the irrigation season, said Tom Crawford, manager of he Lakeview Water Users Asso ciation. Below normal treamflow for the irrigation season was also fore cast for major Lake County streams. The Chewaucan River is forecast for 55 per cent normal during April-June: Deep Creek, 40 Honey creen, 58 and Twenlymue 52. These and smaller streams pose poor prospects for their areas, es pecially late in the irrigation sea son. Rudd suggested farmers and ranchers make use of water as soon as available to avoid waste. Other methods suggested for con serving water included careful control of water by shortening runs or using more spreader ditches or field ditches. Rudd said it would also help to shove water across a field rapidly in about one-fourth the usual total irrigation time then reduce the water flow so very little runs off the lower end. About 12 representatives of state and federal agencies and other ag ricultural leaders attended the out look session at the county court house. The meetings are sponsored jointly by the Soil Conservation Service and Oregon State College Agricultural Experiment Station and Extension Service. Hsr!,,' .-C".i-:f f1 I sT 8 A.

School Financing Difficult. Claims Oregon Educator SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-John Richards, chancellor of the Oregon system of higher educa tion, told the second Western Re gional Workshop on Higher Edu cation Thursday night that the problem of financing public uni versities and colleges "will be come increasingly difficult." "Legislative and public admin istrative analysts are springing up all over the nation, he said, "a sign of the fiscal dilemma devel oping in all states. They are be ing asked to resolve the financial problems of state government, us ing magic and sorcery if necessary." Richards, who spoke before a preliminary session on the budget process in state colleges and uni versities, said the major issue in higher education today is "meet ing the quality and quantity needs of all our people for collegiate education. This is the so . called 'dual mandate' given to public colleges from the earliest times of our republic. In another address, state Sen Alfred H, Cornell of Oregon said legislators are seeking that can did relationship which, leads to the achievement of goals common to all of us the attainment of quality in education upon which the fu ture of our country depends. . . The workshop Is being attended by more than 200 governors, state legislators, college presidents and other state officials from the IS western states, including Alaska and Hawaii. It Is jointly spons ored by the Western Governors Conference, the Council of state Governments, and the Westers Interstate Commission for Higher Education. -4 Murder Trial Sef June 1 Circuit Judge Edward H. Howell ef Canyon City arrived here Thurs day, heard Warren Ruff's plea of not guilty to a second degree mur der charge, and set trial for June I Judge Howell was named to hear the case by Supreme Court Chief Justice William M. McAllister af ter the defense moved to disquali fy two other jurists. Motions from defense attorneys Glenn D. Ramirez of Klamath Falls and Joseph O. Stearns of Portland sought disqualification of Klamath Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg and Lake Circuit Judge Charles H. Foster on grounds that a fair trial would not be pos sible. Both judges disqualified themselves without protest. Ruff, 30-year-old Chiloquin resi dent accused of the rifle slaying of his wife Agatha, 30, in their cabin early February 7, promptly pleaded not guilty in his brief ar raignment. The defense attorneys each sub mitted a motion for change of ven ue from Klamath County, and Judge Howell promptly denied both. He observed that fair, trials had 'been conducted in Klamath Countv before and would be possi ble again. He added, curtly, that he had heard at least one ot tnose trials himself. The trial was scheduled for 9:30 .m. June 1. Court Scans Remodel Plans Plans to remodel the custodian's apartment in the basement of the county courthouse were presented to the county court Saturday. The ulans. prepared by Howard R. Perrin, architect, would install.: additional plumbing and cabinets and add partitions to the apartment now occupied by custodian w. . Fenton and his wife. The court emphasized that no action has been taken, but the plans will be submitted to t h e budget committee in session this week. A previous county court had committed itself to remodeling the apartment when Fenton moved in two years ago. Plans would divide the apart ment space into a living room, din ing alcove, kitchen and one bed room. The living area was con verted partially when Fenton moved in. The space, about 12 feet by 30 feet, previously w as occupied by the county engineer's office and Veterans service office. The renovation, as submitted, would cost about $3,500.

Lion Execs Really Lambs, University Probers Claim By BILL SINNOTT EAST' LANSING, Mich, f API- Does a Jekyll-and-Hyde strain run through the ranks of America s business executives? Does the roaring lion of the ex ecutive suite turn into an amiable lamb when he leaves the office? Researchers at Michigan State University believe so. They maintain the typical execu tive is apt to lead a double life with one set of principles for the office, another for home , and church. , rne researchers have com pleted a pilot study in which they interviewed 162 executives in every echelon of the management Hierarchy. The study Indicates ambitious business executives do not regard as success-contributing those nrae- tices ordinarily regarded as eood human relations," says the study director, Dr. Eugene E. Jennings ot Michigan stale s Business Ad ministration College. Human relations, Jennings continues, "may be considered as an important adjunct of success by the executive, but not basic to it." The professor adds: "A majority of the "men we In terviewed admitted they believe self-interest is the basis of all hu man nature, that it is safer to be suspicous of men and assume their nature is more bad than good." Here are some majority reac tions in four human relations areas covered in the studyt Friendship Loyal subordinates are the mark of a competent ex ecutive but he risks a loss of flexi bility by making close friends in (areas crucial to bis Interests. Agreement Agreements should commit the other person: past promises need not stand in the way of success. Decision making An executive should not allow free participation in decisions crucial to his own in terests; a decision once made should not be open to doubt. Communication The . executive should not expose his hand'; super ior information is an advantage; never tell all you know and give out information sparingly; don't take advice you didn't ask for.' The questionnaire used in the study 'was shown to clergymen who were asked to anticipate ex ecutive reaction. 'The clergymen were generally way off in their judgments," Jen nings says. "The majority under estimated how distrustful the ex ecutive is and how difficult it may be for him. to accept the broth erhood of man concept. The researchers hold the double life practice revealed by the study does not mean the executive is immoral. "It merely indicates,". Jennings maintained, "that the ethics of his business life may be forced to take different forms from the ethics of his personal life in some cases.' WASHINGTON (AP)-The rolei of Sen. John L. McClellan D-Ark) in the Senate debate on labor leg islation aroused increasing inter est today as the time for start of the floor wrangle neared. ! A labor bill sponsored by Sen. John F. Kennedy D-Mass) will be before the Senate as the de bate starts,, probably later this month. However, numerous floor amendments are sure to he of fered to it just as they were a year ago when tne measure s counterpart, the Kennedy-lves bill was before the Senate. Republican senators seeking a more restrictive bill say McClel lan, by giving all-out support, can make it certain major floor amendments can be written into the Kennedy bill. So far, however, McClellan has kept mum on what he intends to do, other than to say he is prepar ing some amendments which he plans to offer. McClellan has introduced a serUs of five labor bills this session, and presumbly it is from these that his 1959 amendments will be draft ed. None of these got favorable consideration in the Labor Com mittee. Instead, that group ap proved the Kennedy bill by a 13-2 vote. Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell has advanced an admin istration labor bill as what he calls a middle-of-the-road meas ure. He calls the Kennedy bill in effective but says McClellan's measure goes too far in putting unions into a strait jacket. The Senate seems certain to act the legislation considerably ahead of the House, where pro longed hearings are under way in the Labor Committee, That group is considering two proposals by its chairman, Gra ham A. Barden (D-NC), which are similar to McClellan's bills. The Kennedy and administration bills also are before the committee, These are major provisions of the various bills Kennedy bill- Seeks to set at union abuses bv requiring detailed public financial reporting by all labor unions, by prescribing secret ballot elections Lright to handle cases not taken GRANGE NEWS EASTSIDE NEW PINE CREEK The future development of the lot and land adjacent on the south of the bast- side Grange Hall into a public park is the project of the Home Economics Club of the grange, Members of the club are to dig shrubs from the woods to start the beautlflcation project.

These would ban all secondary boycotts aimed at neutral third parties and outlaw organizational picketing Gives states the right to act m no man s land cases where NLRB declines to act. Contains construction industry and replaced striker provisions similar to those in the Kennedy bill. McClellan bills- Require all unions to include-in their constitutions and by-laws provisions guaranteeing equal rights of members, freedom of speech and assembly, safeguards against arbitrary diciphnary ac tions, the right to inspect mem bership lists, secret ballots and limits on terms of officers, bond ing of all officer handling funds. and meetings at regular intervals.

Enforce these provisions by de nial of tax exemption or use of NLRB to a union which does not comply, as well as by power dele gated to the secretary of labor and by criminal penalties, Amend the Tall-Hartley law to ban secondary boycotts and or ganizational picketing, to make il legal the hot- cargo clause under which an employer agrees in ad vance he will not require his work ers to handle goods and provide services for an employer involved in' a labor dispute, and to handle the no man s land problem by al lowing a state to act wnere me NLRB declined to do so. Barden bills Contain provisions on require ments for union constitutions and by-laws similar to those in the Mc Clellan bill.

The NLRB has declined to handle cer tain types of cases which the fed eral courts have ruled the states are powerless to take. Administration bill- Contains provisions on financial reporting, elections, trusteeships and convicted persons similar to those in the Kennedy bin. But It enforces these by sanctions against the offending union, through denial of tax exemption and the right to use the NLRB. by the NLRB. Elected Official Refuses Position BATTLE CREEK, Mich.
