PERI Plans Desert Irrigation
10 Reclaim 100000 Acres

WASHINGTON, D. C. (PAU) -
A new irrigation project designed
to reclaim about $780, 900 acres of
Peruvian desert wasteland is sche.
!duled to get underway within a few
months.
The project to bring water into
the Chao, Viru and Moche valleys
in northwestern Peru will involve
construction of a 22-mile tunnel the
longest in South America. Total
cost of the development is estim-
ated at $50, 1000 900.
The operation will be underta-
en- by the Corporation Peruana del
Santa, the government agency in
charge of constructing a new steel
plant and a related hydroelectric
power plant at the port of Chimbo-
te.
In general concept, the Chao-Vi-
ru-Moche irrigation project will
follow a plan originally drawn up
by the late Charles w. Sutton, an
American engineer for many years
employed by the Peruvian gov.
eminent as a consultant on irriga-
ton problems. The tunnel scheme
for the new system is the chief
variant from the Sutton plan,
which proposed use of a lateral
canal to bring water to the valleys.
The 22-mile tunnel will be driven
through the foothills of the Cordi.
llera Negra, or coastal range from
a point near Chuquicara in the San
ia River valley to the Chao Valley.
Near the outlet of this tunnel a
10000 XIV. hydroelectric plan with
three generators of 10000 Wws,
each, will be installed. This plant
will supply the coastal region and
will be tied in with a recently com.
pleted 100000 XIV, plant in the Pa
to Canyon.
Water from the Santa River will
be carried through the foothills by
open canals and smaller tunnels to
the Viru and Moche valleys, and
+. eventually to the desert north Of

Luis Munoz Marin has treasured
the United States that as new
forms of freedom are created in
Puerto Rico the ties binding it to
the U. S. become stronger instead
Of weaker.
In a statement made at a news
conference the Governor referred
to the concern expressed recently
by two members of the U. S. Con-
gress that anti-American sentiment
is on the increase in the island
and that Puerto Rico's Common
wealth status may be leading Puer-
to Ricans away from the U. S.
Munoz Marin released the text
of letter he wrote Jan. 80 to Rep.
Clair Engle (D-Calif.) who two
days earlier was quoted as saying
that Puerto Rico wanted total

Wet Russia will be successful in

He said:
"The solution of the economic
problems Of Latin America rests
on more loans, a stable trade poll
cy, and inducements to American
private enterprise to invest in
these countries on an increasingly
larger SCALE.
To encourage more private in

States first support program
whereby Latin American countries
could advance their health. educa-
ton and sanitation.
Senator Smathers also asked for
a reasSessment of American de-
Tense plans which call for large
expenditures by Latin American
nations - and a consequent drain
on their strained economies.
He said:
.. the time has come when our
governments policy of assistance
to our friends, the Latin Ameri-
cans, should be re-evaluated. We
should ask realistically does our
military assistance truly help them
in the defense of their country
and the Western Hemisphere, or
does it in fact diminish the oppor-
tunities for the furtherance of the
peoples individual rights and IL
berties".
Such funds, he proposed, could
be diverted to finance a wide pro-
gram of public works and construc-
ton of roads, schools and hospi,

He also warned that:
The mounting problems Of La

here on our Western Hemisphere,
seem to get less and less attention
as developments tie them closer
and closer to our future, our
welfare, our destiny.
"Today Latin America is seeth-
ing with political, economic and
social unrest. Because of Latin
Americas importance to us from
the standpoint of trade, strategy
and raw materials, it is essential
that we assist it in solving its
problems. It is in our own en-
lightened self-interest that we do
so. If we fail to assume this res
possibility, we must be prepared

SOCIAL SECURITY.

Social Security benefits are
net enough to live on, is the
most frequent complaint voiced
to social security administration
personnel. This fact is acknow-
lodged when current living
costs are considered along with
current social security pay
ments. These monthly payments
range from a low of $50 to a
high of $108.50 for a single fam
lily member, with a 5000 maxi
mum for multiple member fam
lilies.
When Congress established
this federal family contributory
insurance system, 1t was de
signed to provide only founda-
ton protection at a reasonable
contribution rate. This philosophy
was contained in the original
social security act of 1885. and
has been continued with each
amendment to the Act since.
The System is paid for entire
ly by the workers and their
employers and the self-employ
ed, plus the earnings from the
invested trust fund.
An individual must use other
mean to provide for adequate or
generous retirement income for
family income maintenance IN
the event of his death. Such as
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1958-02-15

savings, bonds, insurance, real
estate, pension rights in an en-
p1oyer pension plan, or in one
or more of a hundred different
ways.
IL the individual is to have
adequate income after retire
ment, or provide Adequately for
his family in the event Of his
death, he must remember that
the social security system will
do no more than provide the
foundation of his family's fin
ancial protection.
