Richards said the free tuition plan might be an ob stacle to a major effort now be. ing made to raise salaries. Board members also talked over aspects of their edict that frater nities withdraw membership bans based on religion or race by 1963 or lose official recognition by the board. Dan Poling, dean of men at Ore gon State College, said that might affect Phi Kappa Thela at OSC, which limits its membership to Roman Catholics.

Poor Water Supply Seen For Lakeview Irrigation ' LAKEVIEW .- The water out look for irrigated lands In tills region is poor, according to a forecast by W. T. Frost and B.

Some lands are served from man- made reservoirs but even those supplies are exceedingly short this season, according to the report. Water content of the snowpack is now 57 per cent of the March 1 average and only 68 per cent of last year at this date. Conspicu ously absent is the usual low-elevation snow which normally plays iMMICOLOWjiP LAST 2 DJ Op"!

Penetration Is only eight to! 10 inches in the northeastern part of the county. Stored water on March 1 was 1,235 . acre-feet in Cottonwood Reservoir and 12.040 acre-feet In Drews ' Reservoir. One year ago these same res ervoirs held about 600 acre-feet and 10,900 acre-feet respectively. Further inflow to these reservoirs is dependent almost entirely on rainfall, since there Is virtually no snow left on their watersheds. A snowfall Thursday night will help to meet this shorlago. Water supply forecasts for flow of Lake County streams during the irrigation season (April-September) are all very low, ranging from 63 per cent of the 1943-57 average down to 32 per cent. Inflow to Drews Reservoir for the March-July period is expected to be about 15,000 acre-feet or 32 per cent of average. With present storage In the two reservoirs, this would provide about 30,000 acre- feet lor the Lakeview Water Users Inc., which is the system under which most of the Westside lands are Irrigated. Deep Creek, Honey Creek and Twenty mile Creek are expected to flow about 60 to 63 per cent of the 15-year .average (1943-57) for the April-June period. Flow of the Chewaucan River during April-June Is forecast at 67 per cent of the average. This stream heads in a higher water shed where snow is currently In better supply. Flow of Buck Creek, Bridge, Silver, Duncan, Moss, Willow and Crooked crocks will be very short this year unless highly abnormal rains are re ceived to improve the situation. All forecasts assume averngo conditions of temperature and pre cipitation for the balance of the .season. Another statement on the water supply outlook will be made in an April 8 report. .

Byrd's comment came after a group of residents of tlie Glide Little River area met over the weekend to protest. Byrd's han dling of the search. They said they were frightened and angry at the on-again, off again methods Byrd was using. They called on state Sen. Al Fie. gel, D-Roscbiii'g, and stale Rep. W. 0. helsay, D-Roscburg, to get state police in on the search. Solovich has evaded police and posses for the past year after es caping from the Veterans Admin istration Hospital here. In recent weeks, he has threatened visitors to the woods and has shot and wounded one member of a search posse. Commission Hears Fish Saving Plans PORTLAND (AP) An exam iner for the Federal Power Com mission resumes hearings in Port land today on fish conservation plans of two competing applicants for licenses to build dams on me Snake River. . J. A. R. Hamilton, a fish biolo gist for the Pacllic Power and Light Co., is to continue testi mony he began at Monday's open ing session. Pacjfic Power and Light is one of the firms making up the Pa cific Northwest Power Co. Pacific Northwest Power wants to build High Mountain Sheep Dam just above the njouth of the Salmon River. The other applicant is Washing ton Public Power Supply System, a combine of public utility dis tricts. They want to build a dam at the Nez Perce site. It would block the Sainton River the last big unobstructed salmon spawn ing stream in the Columbia Basin. Hamilton was questioned about his competence to discuss engi nccring aspects of High Mountain Sheep's fish passage faculties. Mrs. Evelyn N. Cooper, attorney for the public power group, said he was a biologist, not an engi neer. Hamilton replied that the engi neering work was based on biolo gists' research. Some 21 agencies and groups have intervened in the case. Most of them, including the fish agen cies of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, choose Mountain Sheep as less harmful to fish than Nez Perce. Spokesman for two Indian groups the Chinook Nation ana the Cowlitz Tribe, said they were opposed to both dams. any taxation proposal that would impose $52 million in taxes in ex cess of the industry propnsa would be damaging to tree farrr ing, the forest industry, the state's economy and the general public. Bruce Cowan, spokesman for In. ternational Paper Co., said there is no verification of Barton's fig ure and that the compromise is no, on principle but on the area of impact. Barton said his $52 mil lion figure came from the state tax commission. Barton said if the industry bill passes, this $52 million would be shifted to home owners, farmers and other property holders, in cluding remaining timber owners. Timber, he said, would pay thai much less and other classes ol property owners would pay that much more. Kenneth Smith, representing' U. S. Plywood Corp., said his firm had invested in new plants, equip ment and more timber in the Cur ry County area. He said these in vestments added to property tax liabilities and that timber taxation should , be considered in the 'lghi of this. Barton's proposal would tax property on the basis of each own-j per cent of market value on which taxes would be levied at from 25 to 90 per cent depending upon the time that the timber was held. It also would provide that if any cutting were done beyond that for thinning in immature timber. Barton would break down tax.jmai umoer unmeaiateiy wouia dc ing areas by county so if a fast!taxed en,lrely as mature timber cutter took all his timber out of alThe Percentages of market value taxing district such as a school dis trict that district would get a large chunk of revenue.

The Industry proposal would ex empt trees up to 12 inches in d on which immature timber would be taxed range from 10 to 25 per cent under the Barton bill.

I "-j 'i" ii -Mrirtriimnifr ADVERTISING is exposed to Advertising; is purpose. Advertising is prog, rss. Advertisinp; is public. Advertising is al ways exposed. Nearly every cough of criticism about advertising spreads because the seed of infection is kept alive by the vitality of the pub lic servant whose life it seeks to souelch. Why then, hasn't advertising died? 'Because advertising is healthy. Advertising is strength. Advertising swells the biceps of our economy. It helps us maintain a standard of liv ing second to no nation in the world. Advertising is the pulse of the business cycle. Advertising tells you about new products and "serv-'-i-s and. s'-' - -r ro enioy them. It stimulates sales. New sales accelerate produc tion. Greater production creates more jobs. Advertising encourages more people to enioy more, so that more people may produce more ... so that everyone may live better for less. pneumonia In monetary veins, advertising absorbs costs of pnrvoyofpi, mafraines. literature. It pavs for the programs you watch, the music you hear, the news you receive through sight or sound. And it defrays costs of much of the entertain ment you enjoy outside the home. f Without the lifcblood of advertising, how could we raise funds necessary for charity, research, education? Yet, because advertising is public, it is exnosed to hypercritical sniping. A cough of criticism about it often spreads to epidemic proportion. Good thing advertising is healthy. Healthy enough not nnlv tr build it rwn immunity, but to fortify .the economy with the nutrients of progress. What a sjiame the critic hasn't done something for "his cough. And with so many advertised remedies on the market. W. B. Doner and Company Philadelphia 1 ITU-eoe be tare 1 pjk
