Truman Urges
True Liberal

SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. o
(AP).-Harry S. Truman de-
clared last night that the
Democratic Party should NOM
mate a fighting, genuine lib
eral and not a hot-house lib
eral" for President next year.
The former President, ad-
dressing a $25-a-plate Illinois
Democratic dinner, said the
nominee must be a man not
only with a sense of history
but with a vision of the future"
Without mentioning names,
Mr.. Truman said he is fed up
with the "Johnny-com lately
well-fed liberals who would
like to have a disproportionate
voice in the party"
Il think you know who they
are" he added. They never
won a fight in a precinct, and
they never have been con-
spicuous for their sacrifices in
the cause of the every day man
the common man like you and
me-"
Mr.. Truman said the next
Democratic presidential nom-
inee must be a man with the
capacity to make bold deci-
sions."
1--WE need this kind Of a man
because we are living in a
world trying to find it's way
through revolution in science
and in government, through
the birth of new nations and
the search for new freedoms"
ASsailing the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration, Mr.. Truman said
one of its detectives has been
ito put labor in its place"
DO you know what that
place is?" he asked. Complete
domination by the financial in
terests of the country-a return
to peonage."

Thief Burns
$4,000 in
Securities

BARsTOW, Calf, Oct. 9
(AP).-It isn't quite clear why
Mrs. Laura McKill chose to
carry $4,000 worth of securities
and $4,000 worth of jewelry in
her suitcase.
But everybody, including Mrs.
McKill. an 85-year-old widow
from Cheyenne, Wyo., wishes
she hadn't.
The suitcase was stolen by a
thief who didn't realize what
was in it.
When he found out, he got
so nervous he burned the secur-
tiles.
Officers told this story:
Dale st. Pierre, %, a section
hand. boarded a Los Angeles
bound train in Las Vegas, New,
Wednesday night. He put his
suitcase next to Mrs. McKill's.
He got off the train early
yesterday at Glasgow, a section
stop on the Mojave Desert
with beth suitcases. At a near
by section hands camp, he
stuffed the securities into a
stove at his cabin but kept the
jewelry.
Mrs. McKill, travelling TO a
new home in Downey, Calf =,
reported the theft when the
train reached Barstow. Officers
hurried to the camp, arrested
St. Pierre and recovered the
jewelry. They said he ad-
mitted the theft.
He was booked on suspicion
Of grand theft.

flow of the main stream. the Buffalo
Creek, from which Farmville draws
its raw water supply.
There has never been any short
age Of water in the Buffalo where
it passes through Farmville. but it
is entirely possible that as the town
grows the raw water demand will
grow closer to supply, and a more
stable water supply will be essen
tial
Thus, the watershed program will
prove to be valuable to the town Of
Farmville as well as to the farmers
who are more directly concerned.

Landowners Permission Needed Before
Dam Construction Starts I'm Watershed

On April Is, 1858 a meeting was
held in Farmville and the Buffalo
Creek watershed committee was Of
gained Interest in developing a
watershed in the Buffalo Creek area
goes back full decade before
1858, but this meeting was the first
positive step forward. The newly
formed committee asked that a
full examination of the Buffalo
Greek watershed be made.
In June of 1858 a field examina-
ton report of the watershed was
made. An application for com
piete survey was approved on July
"A. 1855. bat no priority was given
the work.
The watershed remained in this
category for about two years. Dur
ing this time soil conservation prac
tees We're being improved in the
area. and more and more LAND
came under approved soil prac
tees
Before any priority on the water
shed could be assigned, 50 per cen
OF the land in the area had to be
under approved soil and water con
servation plan. This work pushed
forward slowly, and it was 1858 be
fore the magic 50 per cent figure
could be achieved.
Approved Last Year
In March, 1858. the state commit
tee gave its approval to the project
and assigned a priority. Work has
moved rapidly since then
The complete survey was made
during the latter part of 1858 and
1859. and the positions Of the dams
to be built were tentatively decided
just recently.
With the technical work virtually
solved efforts in the area have now
turned to the legal angle.
The first hurdle in the road is
that of obtaining easements from

So far, there have been eight

needed. Only two easements have
been obtained for dam two, and
eight more are needed.
There have been seven easements
completed on dams three and four,

 On the visit to Leningrad, Nix on intervened to help Vice Ad- miral Hyman Rickover, the naval expert in his party, get a close look at the heart of a new Russian atomic icebreaker. Soviet officials had baked at first.
 Nixon expressed confidence that if conferences are held, ways can be found toward adjustment of differences and to peace.
 The Vice President said Premier Khrushchev and other Soviet leaders had assured him of their desire to achieve this aim. He said the Americans are equally willing to achieve friendship and peace through negotiations.

 Nixon arrived amid solid signs he was considering more and more favorably a recommendation that President Eisenhower invite Pre- mier Khrushchev to the United States for a visit.
 Persons close to Nixon were un- derstood to be making some impact on him with arguments that Khrushchev must see for himself the strength and vigor of the American economy and the unity of it's people to rid him of mis- conceptions.
 Thousands of men and women lined the streets here, in some places four and five deep, to wave greetings to Nixon and his wife.
 Communist leaders of this devel- oping Siberian industrial area rode through town with the Nixons.
 A bus carrying American cor respondents travelling with Nixon was nearly mobbed by several thousand excited Russians, hands outstretched in greeting, when it arrived in Stalin Square.
 Soviet authorities were under stood to have agreed finally to allow Nixon to tour the Siberian branch of the Academy of Sci ences. This will be big scientific research center for the entire Si- berian-Ural area.
