The 1960 outlook for spring and
summer water supplies in the
Klamath Basin, as of this early
winter date, is only fair, accord'
ing to a report released today by
W. T. Frost, snow survey super
visor for Department of Agricul
lure, Soil Conservation Service,
Oregon Agncultuial Experiment
Station and state engineer, slate of
Oregon. The mountain snowpack
and reservoired water supplies arc
much below normal and watershed
soils are unusually dry.
Water content of the present
mountain snowpack is only 29
per cent normal. Many unusually
heavy winter storms will be
needed if the present snow
"shortage" is to be overcome.
Normally, about four-tenths of
the total winter "snow crop'
should be on the watersheds by
January 1. This year there is less
than two-tenths of a normal "snow
crop at this dale.
Mountain watershed soils are
unusually dry for this time of
year.
Water stored in the three major
eservous is 74 per cent of the
usual amount but only 55 per cent
of that available at this date last
year. Storage in Gerber Reservoir
is the lowest in many years.
Inflow into Upper Klamath Lake
has been 84 per cent normal dur
ing the October through Decem
ber period. Spring and summer
flow of all streams in the Klarri'
ath Basin is expected to be be
low normal with strikingly low
flows to occur into both Gerber
and Clear Lake reservoirs un
less unusually heavy winter storms
are experienced.
Statewide, the outlook for Ore
gon's I960 water supplies, as of this
early winter date, ranges from
only fair to "very poor." Reser
voired water supplies are mostly
far below normal, watershed soils
are dryer than normal and the
mountain snowpack is near record
low in many portions of the state.
In this area the following or
ganizations cooperate with the
Soil Conservation Service in the
snow survey activity: California
Oregon Power Company; Langoll
Valley, Klamath, Poe Valley and;
Lakeview Soil Conservation dis
tricts; Oregon Agricultural Exper
iment Station; Oregon State Engi
neer and State Watermaster; U.S.
Indian Service; U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation; National Park Serv
ice; Talent Irrigation District; Med
ford Irrigation District and U.S.
Corps of Engineers.
The next report on snow surveys
and water supply conditions will
be issued on February 8.

City Council
Raps Proposal
DORRIS At its regular monthly
meeting Monday night, the Dorris
City Council approved a resolution
protesting the federal government's
proposed taxation of interest paid
on municipal bonds and on mu
nicipal income. Members felt that
both proposed taxes are of ques
tionable constitutionality and be
lieve opposition to such a federal
tax measure to be in the public
interest.
Mayor Bob Edgar authorized Vir
ginia Hamilton, city clerk, to send
copies of the resolution as drawn
up by the council to Senators
t nomas Kuchel and Clair Engle
ana 10 congressman Harold T.
(Bizz) Johnson.
The council discussed the dos.
sibility that Police Chief Bvard
Kelly may be permitted to attend
future peace officers' zone meet
ings when called by the attornev
general. A letter from the office
of Attorney General Stanley Mosk
explained the zone meetings are
held to forward more efficient and
professional police work. The coun
cil decided, since' there would be
quite an expense to the city en
tailed in the attendance of chief
Welly at the meetings, it would be
best to think it over."
The council' discussed having a
new refinish coat put on the hard
wood floors of the city hall audi
torium; having more water cutoffs
installed to prevent loss of water
revenue and instructed Kelly to
check prices toward the purchase
of new chairs for the city hall.
Mrs. Hamilton reported the first
date for filing for city offices to
be January 28, and the last date,
February 18. Election date will be
April 12. The council seats of May
or Bob Edgar; Arnold Skoog and
Richard renwick will be vacated.
The offices of city clerk and city
treasurer will also be open for

Witness Tells Of Killing
In Klamath Slay Trial
A witness to the killing of Joseph
Owen Martinez II described the
slaying and events leading to It
yesterday afternoon in the first de
gree murder trial of 21-year-old
Leonard Marvin Lugo.
The witness, George Hill Jr., 27,
3304 Delaware Street, described
himself as a friend of both the
victim and the accused murderer.
Hill said he heard Martinez
threaten to cut Lugo's throat if
Lugo did not stay away from Mar
tinez' estranged wife, Patty Gib
bans Martinez. The threat, Hill
said, was three weeks before the
killing early August 31.
Hill testified Lugo and Martinez
met again in a Seventh Street tav
ern the afternoon before Martinez
was killed. He said at that time
Martinez challenged Lugo to go
out in the alley with him. Lug,
said it was not dark enough.
The young men met later that
ght, actually August 31, and Mar
tinez renewed his challenge, Hill
testified. This time Martinez and
Lugo, with Hill and Lugo's broth
er Alfred went into the alley. They
passed a city police officer, and
walked on.
Behind the Broiler, Hill sa
Martinez stopped and shouted at

Ike's Message
(Continued from Page 1)
classroom construction.
Alluding to the threat of the free
world from communism, Eisen
hower said: "With both sides of
this divided world in possession
of unbelievably destructive weap
ons, mankind approaches a state
where mutual annihilation be
comes a possibility."
He said recent Soviet deport.
ment and pronouncements "sue-
gest the possible opening of a
somewhat less-strained period in
the relationships between the So
viet Union and the free world."
Eisenhower cautioned free na
tions against being "misled by
pleasant promises," but he said
the United Slates intends to deal
with the Soviet Union with the ut
most seriousness.
Eisenhower made It plain he
does not expect the Soviet Union
to touch off an all-out war.
It is my studied conviction.
that no nation will pvpi- riclr ,9V
against us unless we should be
so foolish as to neglect the defense
forces we now so powerfully sup
port," he said.
IT IS WORLDWIDE knowledge
that any nation which might be
tempted to attack the United
States, even though our country
might sustain great losses, would
tself promptly suffer a terrible
destruction."
In sounding this warning, Eisen
hower disclosed this about Atlas
intercontinental missiles now be
coming operational:
"In 14 recent test launchings,
ai ranges ot over 5,000 miles, At-t
las has been striking on an aver-
arto within lun ntilnc nf nM V
O - .....t... b.,w 11IWW Ul LUC u'
et. This is less than tho lenrtH
of a jet runway well within th
circle of total destruction," h'
said of the Atlas missile.
The President said the nation's
ilriking power in manned bomb
ers is unmatched. He added that i
increasing numbers of nuclear Jj
Miuinai iiics, some armed witn
deadly Polaris missiles, will be en
tering service.
In this presidential and con
gressional election year, with Re
publicans sure to hammer at
peace and prosperity campaign
hemes, Eisenhower said:
"Today our surging strength is
apparent to everyone; 1960 prom
ises to be the most prosperous
year of our history."
The President listed some "nag
ging disorders" which he said
ague the country despite the
outlook for record prosperity.
Among these was the need to
prevent future labor-management'
stalemates.
OTHER DISORDERS he men
tioned included the continuing
threat of inflation.
We must fight inflation," he
said, "as we would a fire that
imperils our homes. Only by so
doing can we prevent it from de
stroying our salaries, savings,
pensions and insurance, and from
gnawing away at the very roots
a free, healthy economy and
the nation's security."
Another of the "nagging disor
ders" that must be dealt with.
said Eisenhower, is in the field
civil rights.
'In the long perspective of his
tory," Eisenhower said, "the right
vote nas been one of the strone-
est pillars of a free society. Our
first duty is to protect this right
against all encroachment.
