I By Charles Englernan
It isn't hard in thee modern
times to leave Clinton at 1 pm
Sunday fly to Washington appear
before a congressional committee
visit with several members of the
Oklahoma delegation visit some of
our national shrines and museume
and be back on the job here Wed-
nesday morning
for the trip was to le
members of the subcommittee or
appropriations for the House Inter-
ior and Insular Affairs Committee
know the local area viewpoint on
the amount of f-deral money
which should be appropriated lb
construction work on the Foss and
Fort Cobb Reservoirs during the
coming fiscal year
After written statements were
presented to the committee and or-
al statements elven by Sen Mike
Monroney lien Toby Morris Don
McBride (Sen Kerr's adminisra-
tive assistant) and Albert Connell
of Andarko I was asked to sum-
marize the presentation of the
Washita project and did so as fol-
lows: "We have a good project started
— good for the federal govern-
rnent good for the participating
cities and good for the citizens of
western Oklahoma in general So
It seems wise for all concerned to
seek the most economic rate of
construction
"After careful study we of the
local interests believe that an ap-
propriation of $10 millions for Fis-
cal '59 will be necessary to secure
this most economic rate of construc-
tion The sooner we finish the en-
tire construction phase the sooner
payments can begin to the federal
government Delay in completion of
construction will increase the in-
terest costs of participating cities
"The sooner construction can be
finished the more money can be
saved through the reduction of fix-
ed overhead costs and by getting
ahead of the rising spiral of con-
struction costs Construction costs
are In general rising about five
per cent each year
"The sooner the construction can
be completed the more protection
from a water supply standpoint for
Clinton - Sherman Air Force Base
reactivation of which is scheduled
late in the present calendar year
or early in 1959
"The local people participating in
the project have done everything
expected of them by the Bureau of
Reclamation including formation
of our conservancy districts our ir-
rigation districts and we have
signed the necessary repayment
contracts However we believe
that the most economic rate of con-
struction must be employed in or-
der that total costs do not exceed
estimates of Bureau of Reclama-
tion engineers- for we believe that
we are not capable of making pay-
ments in excess of those based on
these engineering planning estimat-
es" -fly-The
Bureau of the Budget sever-
al months ago put its stamp of ap-
proval on a $65 million appropria-
tion for the Foss - Cobb Creek pro-
ject during Fiscal '59 but actuall
It is the Congress which has the
final say about the amount
If the work schedule during the
coming fiscal year is limited to
the Bureau of Budget - approved
figure only $15 millions would be
available for Foss Dam contract
earnings during Fiscal '59 when if
$2 million were available the con-
tractor probably could finish the
struciLte in three years
Under the Bureau of Budget fi-
gure there would be no money
available for land purchase at the
Foss site during Fiscal '59 Our
group emphasized the importance
of having at least $1 millions avail-
able for that purpose so that the
relocation of farm families could
be more orderly and convenient for
them
We also pointed out that a step-
ped - up program at the Foss site
would counteract unemployment
There are approximately 845 men
living in the towns adjacent to Foss
reservoir listed as unemployed in
the Clinton office of the U S Em-
ployment Service
the subcommittee headed
by Rep Clarence Cannon of Mis-
souri makes its report and recom-
mendation the degree of success
of our arguments will not tv
known Chances are that on the
Senate side $IO milions will bi
asked for and favored
But the Senate version th
Douse of Representatives version
and the Bureau of Budget versio
of Fiscal '59 needs for Foss - Cobt
Creek all will influence and final-
ly determined appropriation
are rearly corn
pleted for the mammoth dam a
the Foss site and the prime con
tract for construction is schedule(
to be awarded next month
to the trip itself a fourth
grader from Southwest — my soi
Steve — has had some &who
tales to tell his classmates of up
whirlwind excursion to the nation'i
Capitol
Among other things he got to go

Wheat Penally
Rate Support
Price Revealed
The penalty rate applicable to the
1958 wheat crop and the minimum
national average support price for
next year's wheat were announced
today by Russell E Dill manager
of the Custer County Agricultural
Stablization and Conservation Of-
fice A penalty of $109 per bushel will
be assessed against farmers who
harvest more acres of wheat than
their allotments call for in 1958
Dill said
This figure is 45 per cent of the
parity price of wheat as of May 1
which was $242 a bushel
Minimum national average sup-
port price for the 1959 wheat crop
has been set at $181 per bushel
which will become effective if mar-
keting quotas are approved by the
nation's wheat farmers on June 20
75 Per Cent
The support price reflects 75
per cent of the estimated moderniz-
ed parity price as of July 1 1959
The minimum average may be in-
creased if a combination of wheat
parity and wheat supply relation-
ships as of July 1 1959 indicate a
higher support
Dill pointed out that the 1959 -crop
support rate is three cents higher
han the mimumum average sup-
port of $178 for this year's crop
-The 1959 support rate is an-
nounced in advance of the referen-
dum in order that farmers will be
aware of the figure prior to casting
heir ballots and in order that they
can decide upon the acreage to
nlant which they deem more advan-
tageous to them" Dill said

I LIMA Peru (UP)--Vice Pre-
' sident Richard Al Nixon to-
day walked into a crowd of
yelling rock - throwing stu-
dents and challenged them to
"hear the truth" A stone
grazed his neck
Another rock thrown by a
student struck Nixon's aide
Jack Sherwood in the face
and chipped a tooth About
stones were hurled at the
Nixon party front the edge
of the crowd of shouting
whistling students as Nixon
left his car and walked into
the center of the mob
An estimated 2000 students
and non-students were gather-
AI in the park at the approach
to the ancient San Marcos
University waving signs that
said "Get out of here Nixon
shark" and "Go home Nix-
on" The vice president drove up to
the milling crowd and stepped
calmly ll'OITI the convertible to
challenge the students
Ignored Previous Warnings
Applause as well as hisses
greeted the vice president who
had included a visit to the uni-
versity as part of his eight-nation
tour of South America
Nixon ignored previous warn-
' ines that his appearance before
the Communist-instigated students
might cause a violent anti-Antedcan
demonstration
Nixon pushed into the crowd
that closed around him shaking
hands where he could and beckon-
ing others to come closer
"Come and speak" he said
"Let me talk to your leaders"
Nearby students shout ed at
him: "Go luinie GO home"
"Sure I'll go home" Nixon
said "hut don't you want to hear
the truth first?"
Try to Protect Him
Earlier the vice president him-
self had cancelled his plans to
visit San Marcos because of the
possibility' that the Communist
students might provoke a violent
riot
It was not immediately k nava
why Nixon changed his mind
US Secret Service agents and
Peruvian security officials were
with Nixon in the noisy crowd as
veil as his translator US Army
Lt Col Vernon Walters Both
Nixon and Walters shouted to the
pollee "Don't push don't push"
Nixon said later he (lid this to
avoid the possibility that someone
in the mob might be hurt by over-
zealous efforts of the police to
protect him
The crowd was by no means all
anti-Nixon Many waved to him
But the applause and cheers for
the vice president were all but
drowned out by the whistles cat-
calls and shouts of "Go home
Nixon" from the well organized
anti-Nixon elenpents
Visits Catholic University
Nixon did not enter the aniver-
sity itself to meet faculty officials
Ile said later he did not want
to let the situation get out of band
and risk the possibility that some-
one would li? hurt
He turned nod went back to his
convertible lc stood in the car
waving and smiling at the siu-
dents and then drove a half mile
to Lima's Catholic University
This 1A'as a switch in his sched-
ule and no one was waiting to
greet him outside the Catholic in-
stitution when he arrived
