Two years of engineering investiga-tioned ended today with the announcement by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation it has selected the route for the San Joaquin pumping system canal, a major feature of the Central Valley Project.

Typhoid fever is still a constant menace in the United States because the germs which caustHt may live as long as two years without food. The germs are spread mainly by water contamination, Dr. Paul J. Beard of Stanford University, told the American Public Health Association today, and tests there have shown that they are extremely vigorous in resisting heat, cold and water conditions. The California scientist exposed typhoid germs on ordinary soil in containers to every condition of California weather and to incubation and refrigeration to test their resistance.

They proved to be exceptionally hardy and resistant bugs. Fifty per cent of them usually died within two days. The rest, however, hung on to life tenaciously for as long as two and could still cause typhoid infection in human beings. RAIN AIDS GERMS Sunlight kills them quickly but only on the surface of the ground, and rainy weather is particularly favorable for their survival.

"We- must give the right kind of Government, for discontent breeds trouble," the attorney general said. Warren told the 275 delegates at the opening of their three-day convention that police departments 6hould "grow with the community," and be prepared for increased activity during troubled times. Paul E. Madden, chief of the State Narcotics Enforcement Division, discussed the relationship of narcotics and crime.

War, he said, is making it more difficult to control the narcotics traffic because foreign controls have been withdrawn from the Suez Canal, and foreign pression activity lessened. Marihuana, Madden declared, presents a further problem. The ease with which it can be grown, like a weed on waste lands, makes It difficult to control, he said. Earlier, Sheriff Daniel C. Murphy, of San Francisco, told the officers that they should try to reach closer understanding with labor about law enforcement.

IS CONNECTING LINK There were several alternative locations for the canal studied, including high lines on both the west and east sides of the Northern San Joaquin Valley and through routes approximately paralleling the San Joaquin River.

The route chosen will preserve the existing river channel and maintain the valley's natural drainage system. Walter R.
