Senator Kennedy deniesl this and claims that the results would have been the same if only Democrats had been allowed to,surgeon has testified in a vote in Wisconsin s Democratic, primary. The BIG question: WHY did the Republicans cross over? If we knew that, we'd know more about the grass roots politi cal situation in this campaign year of I960 than we know now. Some advice to the average voter: In this political campaign, the big issue is WHO, OF ALL THE ASPIRANTS FOR THE PRESI- DENCY, WILL MAKE THE BEST PRESIDENT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE? Keep this in mind: We're in the process of hiring a manager for the biggest job in the world. Who will make the best manager for ALL of us?

"There is no question that in halation of tobacco smoke is the largest single factor in the causa tion of this type of lung cancer," Dr. Richard Overholt, chief chest surgeon at the Overholt Thoracic Clinic in Boslon, said Thursday in U.S. District Court. Dr. Overholt said, however, that it is difficult to prove the rela tionship in the laboratory. "The trouble is, we're having a hard time getting a mouse to smoke like a man," he said. Although it was noted that in 1956 Overholt wrote that "the cause of cancer is unknown," the doctor said: "I revised my estimate.

Water Set For 'A' Canal Irrigation water for Ihe 1000 season will now mio tne a Canal of the Klamath Irrigation Project lo ranches and farms in Ihe Klamath Basin outside the Tulelake irrigation project, begin ning Monday, May 11. Ray L. Roberts, Klamath Irri gation District manager, said in announcing plans for the water season for the main division of the Klamath project, KID, that delivery to the water users will require another six or seven days. The variance in time is to per mit the canal and ditches to1 soak. The canal will be primed wilh from 50-60 cubic second feet of water and the flow increased daily to maximum. Water delivery to the Tulelake project was started some weeks ago to permit pre-irrigation of crop lands. Roberts said late spring rains look for an adequate water supply on this project and that a sue cessful winter maintenance sea son had been accomplished. The KID supplies water for six independent irrigation districts, Enterprise, Pine Grove, Sunny- Ditch serving 5,000 acres, the Malin Irrigation District and the Shasta View, both north ol Malin Water delivery under KID is made lo approximately 61.000 acres including the six smaller districts.
