The 11-member bipartisan

Most sections of the report
were adopted unanimously.
The commission, headed by
Director Richard M. Scammon
of the Census Bureau, was set
up by the late President Ken-
nedy March 30. Its report, ori-
ginally scheduled for Nov. 26, j
was delayed almost a month

Kennedy’s order directed the
commission to studying voting

mission. which is concerned
with discrimination against Ne-

Voter apathy was one target

Harry P. Burleigh, engineer
in charge of the Austin office of
the Broeau ef Reclamation, from
the first lu» been voluble in his
support of toe interchange agree-
ment between the two river
authorities. The plan is now be-
fore the Bureau at Reclamation
headquarters in WasMngmn for
Its approval as one of the final
steps toward seeking authoriza-
tion from Congress.
The proposed “grand canal
system, which is considered cer-
tain to meet with determined
opposition from all of the prin-
cipal river authorities in Texas,
has long been a favored project
of the Bureau of Reclamation. It
was first suggested as the result
of a study requested by Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson, who
was then the senior U. S. sena-
tor from Texas.
However, most of the local
water authorities in Texas from
the find have considered the
proposal to be impractical and
not likely to be achieved within
the foreseeable future. Among
other objections, they fear that
such an over-all plan of epastal
water development very likely
Y»oki give the federal govern-
ment almost total control over
aU of the water resources and
dev elopment in the state.
On a more immediate prob-
lem. facing another drought
year in 1964 which many foresee
as becoming even more severe
than was the case in 1963. the
GBRA directors decided to move
immediately toward improving
die canal system in Calhoun
County they leased last year
with an option to purchase. The
canal system provides water for
the Union Carbide plant near
Seadrift and for irrigation of a
considerable rice acreage in
Calhoun County.
