'For that reason our lntormant Is 6n oI

Railroad Stocks Lead
Drop 10 Lowest Level
In Nearly Il Months
By the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-A new
sinking spell in railroad stocks
carried the market to the lowest
level in nearly year today.
Losses piled up to an extreme Of
around 3 points although most
were a point or less. 1t was the
fifth session in a row in which
the market has declined.
The volume of trading increased
over the recent slow days as prices
were marked down.
Selling of the rails was inf1u-
enced largely by the high cost to
the Western carriers of the recent
vicious combination of snow, wind
and freezing temperatures. In
addition, it was feared by many
a business recession of any size
could hit hard at the income of
roads, with more or less rigid op-
Grating costs.
Nickel Plate, often a rather
volatile issue, showed the widest
swing with a decline of 32s at
one time. Also lower were Santa
Fe. Union Pacific, Great Northern
preferred, Southern Railway and
Southern Pacific.
Elsewhere lower prices we're
paid for Youngstown Sheet &
Tube, General Motors. Chrysler.
Goodrich, Firestone. Montgomery
Ward, Deere, Air Reduction, Cen
eral Electric, Allied Chemical,
Gulf Oil. Standard Oil New Jer-
sey), Warner Bros. and United Air
Lines.
Among a handful of stocks
boosted a little were Packard,
Woolworth, American Smelling,
j. c. Penney and Pan American
AirWays.
Railway bonds headed down.
ward with stocks. United States
Governments held steady in over
the-counter dealings.

eva Head QUESTIONS
SPECIAL INTEREST TIES
OF RECLAMATION ASSN

Do the state reclamation associa
tons of the northwest stand for the
reclamation of our land or for the
once enjoyed by the private power
monopoly?
Rep. Hugh B. Mitchell bluntly
posed this question after receiving a
resolution adopted by the Washing
ton State Reclamation Association at
recent Seattle meeting which
strongly opposed Columbia Valley
Administration.
Mitchell said it was evident that
the association had become prop
uganda lobby for the private power
companies"
81 have been informed" he added,
"that private power companies con-
tributed two-thirds of the associa-
TONS total revenue in 1948. 1t is
also a fact that there are few honest
to-goodness dirt farmers who belong
to the association"
In letter to L. w. Markham, asso-
citation secretary, Mitchell said the
anti eva resolution contains
sweeping statements and allegations
not necessarily related to the facts" "
The Seattle congressman, who will
introduce President Truman's eva
bill in congress, wrote Markham that
the Forthcoming eva legislation
"gives careful regard to appropriate
state functions in natural resource
development and is designed to en-
courage the utmost in state and local
cooperation.
Pointing out that not more than
dozen of the 100 irrigation districts
in the state contribute to the asso-
citation, Mitchell, who is also presi-
dent of the League for eva said:
"It seems to me that the reclama-
ton association has wandered long
way from it's original intent - the
development of the arid and semi
arid land of the state-to its present
function of acting as a mouthpiece
for private power"

and other development. Pushing
rural identification.
| Half of Young's summary was de,
voted to convincing factual demon
souri, basin agriculture to the nation
al economy. In this connection he
pointed out that volume of rain
water running off the land is greater
in the lower part of the basin than
anywhere else, except the mountain
portion, and that, as result, "soil
erosion is seriously damaging the
most productive land in the BASIN"
The lower basin includes Missouri,
relatively small areas of Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa and South Dakota, and
a corner of Minnesota.
Out of the 108,000,000 acres of
cropland in the basin, much of which
is in semi-arid country, only about
$4,000 acres are in existing irriga-
ton projects and the Interagency
plan calls for addition of 100000
to 100000 acres, Young said. He
added that not more than 100000
acres of the existing projects are
actually irrigated annually and mot
more than 100000 acres of this is
being efficiently irrigated"
Effect of Irrigation
Irrigation increases farm popula-
ton and crop production and, what
is more important in the Missouri
basin, promises to stabilize agricul-
