Possiblility of restriction in
the use of the Owyhee Reser
voir for security reasons was
discussed in Nyssa this week.
The discussion was prompted
by a directive, issued two weeks
ago by Secretary of the Interior
Oscar Chapman to heads of all
bureaus, because of the exi
stence of a national emerxency
declared by President Truman.
During World War II no one
was allowed to go, without
special authorization, to within
one mile of the dam, either from
upstream or downstream.
