With major streets opened to traffic, businesses previously closed will open again today including establishments in the Heart 0' Bossier Shopping Center.

"We really didn't compare the two studies. Both consultants used acceptable, good techniques, although they got different answers." Whittendon blamed the differences on evaporation rates used in computing the yield, noting that Caddo "is not an ideal water supply lake" because of its large surface area and shallow depth.

Patsy Forcier, acting director of the Shreveport Water and Sewer Department, said about the Texas findings, "What this study has done is to reaffirm the basis for our operating plan." Shreveport's operating plan is the document outlining the proposed operation of the city's $1 million pump station resting on the shores of Caddo Lake and the planned $17 million pipeline to Cross Lake. The plan projects that under the most extreme drought conditions, a draw on the lake of an average of 19.4 million gallons a day for a year would lower the lake by 6.4 inches. "We felt all along that the Black and Veatch study was a conservative one, that the figure Black Veatch arrived at would be under the worst possible conditions," Mrs. Forcier said. All three studies assumed that Caddo would be drawn down to a minimum elevation of 166 feet above sea level, or 2.5 feet below the Caddo dam at Mooringsport.

Ted Stevens The Texas Department of Water Resources has confirmed the results of a Caddo Lake Yield Study performed for the city of Shreveport.

Independent engineering studies conducted for Marshall and Shreveport earlier this year differed by nearly 11 million gallons daily. Shreveport has applied to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a permit to use Caddo as a supplemental water supply, and the difference was a major issue during corps' public hearings held last month. The consulting engineering firm hired by Shreveport, Black and Veatch, concluded that at least 19.4 million gallons daily was available from Caddo even during critical drought periods. Marshall's figure was somewhat higher, with the firm of Lockwood, Andrews, and Newnam, finding at least 30 million gallons per day available.

When the results of the Marshall study were announced in July, Marshal city officials said they were satisfied that Shreveport's draw on the lake would not hurt the lake, at least through 1980. The Marshall City Commission reversed itself on the matter in October, saying that in light of a drought during the summer and the discrepancy in the two studies' dependable yield they would oppose Shreveport's plan. The corps was notified of the finding in a letter from Bob Whittendon, interstate compact coordinator for the Texas Water Resources Department.

Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, were killed Monday in the crash of a privately chartered Lear jet while trying to land at Anchorage International Airport. Stevens, 55, who was aboard with several state officials, survived the crash and was taken to Providence Hopital, where he was reported in serious condition with head, neck and arm injuries. Stevens' wife, Ann, was killed, state police said. The identities of the other dead were not known. One known survivor was Tony Motley, an Alaska lobbyist, who was hospitalized with undetermined injuries.

Maj. James Vaden of the State Patrol said the jet, on a flight from Juneau to Anchorage, crashed at 2:53 p.m. local time (6:53 p.m. CST) between two runways and "broke up, but there was no fire." Warren Runnerstrom, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Anchorage, said the craft broke into four pieces. The cause of the crash was not known.

Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and his wife, opera singer Galina Vis-hnevskaya, defected in 1974 claiming a lack of "artistic liberty" in the Soviet Union. Both were stripped of their Soviet citizenship last March which means they cannot return to the Soviet Union. Rostropovich is permanent conductor of the National Symphony in Washington, C.
