The conference took place dur
ing the recent session of the Ma

Oklahoma City which Brand at
tended as a representative Of the
Kennewick Irrigations Project
committee. Aiding him In present
ing the case for. the Kennewick
project were James Ford, secre-
tary of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce and VIM. Stapleton,
land settlement director Of the
Northern Pacific railway.
Congress win be asked 10 ap-
propriate $75O,000 for the pro-
ject in the deficiency measure for
the Bureau of Reclamation which
Is expected TO get immediate at
tention when Congress convenes
in January. An additional three
million dollars WIN be sought In
the appropriation for the fiscal
year starting In July.
The deficiency appropriation. II
approved, would permit an Inn
mediate start on construction ON
the project which can be COM
pleted in two years, putting an adj
ditional 1900 acres of choice
land adjacent 10 the city under
under irrigation.
= Brand stressed the need for
more farm land in this area as
quickly as possible, especially IL
view of the loss of irrigated land
due to the Hanford project and
to the extension of home building.
He estimated that 300 acres Of
the present Highland project has
been taken away from farm use
for this purpose. An indication
OF the number of new homes
already built or planned Is re-
Elected in the approximate 1000
new connections for domestic wa
ter.
Another factor that may speed
the development that was brought
to the attention of reclamation
officials is the power feature Of
the project. The new developmnt
will produce $4,000 kilowatts Of
power, an amount approximately
equal to that now used in the
Kennewick-Pasco region.
Meeting Tuesday night, the Ken
newick Projects committee heard
Brands report and planned fur
ther action. All Of the Washington
state delegation will be infor-
ed of the present status of the
project, already approved by con-
gress, and their aid will be sought
in securing the deficiency appro-
priation.

ENFORCEMENT RATHER THAN CLOSURE

(Alusku Weekly)
 IN TESTIMONY recently before the house committee
 on interior department appropriations Albert M. Day of the Fish and Widife Service stated that consideration wos being given to complete closure of certdin of the pink salmon of Southeastern Alusku in effort to rehubilitute the diminishing runs of the pinks.
 We feel" said Day. a great deal of the trouble is due to everlasting. Industry itself has urged in- creased efforts toward enforcement mdximum protection may be given this important fishery.
 In seeking funds for adequate protection MT. Day put his finger the spot in the situuon. MdnY who are fomidr with the pink salmon waters of Southeastern Aldsku inclined to believe thut it is not so much the quantity of fish token it tn ho all thdt is needed is enforcement of present regulations The State of Washington, it is pointed out. with 1000 miles of shorene to protect spends $624OOO annually to enforce it's conservation regu- ldtons while the Federal government spends S5OOO less than that amount to patrol l6000 miles of Alas kon shoreline.
 Under such circumstances it is every day oc- currence for seiners to move in and circle moss o fish gathered in q boy ot the mouth of creek and be on their way to the connerY before q petrol boot q couple of hundred miles dwuY knows the fish ore running in thdt particular stream.
 There are fish hogs among cdnnerYmen and fishermen alike but the vast majority of both have no desire to see the industry ruined and are not only willing but anxious to observe all intelligent conservation measures. It is against the minority thdt protection is needed and badly needed.

 Neither the Fish and Wildlife Service the cdnnerY men nor the people of Aldskd want more fish to go up the streams thun are needed for proper spawning of the beds. for thut is simply economic wdste Yet practically no money has been spent by the gov ernment to determine whdt constitutes adequate es- cdpement even in the principle streams.
 Even if such knowledge were ovoildbe it would be of small value without some latitude being uronted local authorities. Repeatedly while an or bitrory closing order hos been in effect the fish have arrived off schedule and except for those who took q chance on puying on insignificant fine fishermen have stood by while thousands of fish went up q streom to die on the bonks without ever reaching an already overcrowded spawning bed.

 DOES THE CLASH between Moscow and Belgrade

 Reasons given for the trouble runqe from q Molotov-Zhdunov fued to ERP: from q Bulqurdn- Yugosldv disagreement mdkng wdr in Greece to food hodrding; and from personal quorrels to deep instinct of nctondlism: Some comment even finds the break with Tito cause for Russid easing up in Berlin-uthough the rift is months old.

 This very lack of firm knowledge indicates how unWise it would be to assume thdt Yuqosldvid cun be druwn into the Western orbit.
