BOISE, Idaho, September 3.-The
Federal Irrigation Congress yesterday
defeated a resolution demanding the
resignation of DR.. Elwood Mead as
United States commissioner of recla-
nation.
The resolution, sponsored by dele
gates to the Congress from Wyoming
and Nebraska, declared the water users
had lost all confidence in the SYM
pathy, willingness and ability" OF the
administrative officer
The Congress adopted a resolution
asking three-year suspension of pay
mentS of reclamation costs without in
terest on the deferred payments. The
resolution stated the irrigators on pro-
jectS in a dozen Western States were
unable to keep up the payments with
produce values at their present low
level. A suspension already is in affect,
but terminates next June and the de-
ferred payments bear interest.
1t was the requirements for the in
terest on the deferred payments which
caused the reaction against Mead.
Some members addressing the Con-
gress laid on him the blame for in
cluding the interest charge after they
said congressional committees and Of
ficers of the Department of Interior
had agreed to waive it.
