This work will continue while the ramps are being built. The entire project is expect ed to be completed in early spring. “Now that the lake level is sufficiently low, we can begin the grading for the ramps,” said Crews. The six new areas, located on sites ranging in size from 1.61 acres to 8.86 acres, will be in addition to the two public recreation areas already main tained by SCEGGO at each end of the Saluda dam. There are also 35 commercial docking areas dotting the shoreline of Lake Murray. Lake Murray, one of the lar gest man-made lakes in the world inpounded specifically for the production of electric power, was created in 1930 when the Saluda river dam was built at Dreher Shoals. With a total shore line of some 528 miles, the entire project cost some $20 million. Today stretching some 41 miles through Lexington, Sa luda, Richland, and Newberry counties, the lake attracts thousands of fishing, camping, and boating enthusiasts each year. BRIDGE TO OBLIVION IN THE STATE of the Un ion Message, President Johnson laid heavy stress upon making conciliatory moves toward the Soviet Union and the Commu nist Bloc. The theme of the day is “bridge-building” to re duce cold-war tensions and thereby hopefully bring about normalized relations with the USSR. THE IMMEDIATE focal point is the Consular Treaty with the Soviet Union, which, if ratified by the Senate, would allow the Soviet Union to es tablish numerous consulates in scattered areas of the United States. IN 1965, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee reported the Consular Treaty to the Sen ate by a divided vote, after one perfunctory public hearing, at which only Secretary of State Dean Rusk and one other State Department witness testified. The treaty was never brought to a vote in the Senate in the 89th Congress, because a groundswell of public opinion in opposition to its ratification succeeded in persuading enough Senators to vote against it to prevent its approval by the re quired two-thirds margin. THE OCCURRENCE which served to crystallize public opin ion against Senate approval of the Treaty in the last Congress was the testimony of the Direc tor of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoo ver, before an appropriations subcommittee of the House of Representatives in 1965. Mr. Hoover warned that “a cher ished goal of the Soviet intelli gence services” would be real ized if the Soviet Union were allowed to establish consulates across the United States. Mr. Hoover stated that the job of the FBI, that of combatting internal subversion and espio nage efforts, would be made much more difficult. These knowledgable observa tions from the foremost expert in the United States on Soviet espionage efforts and tactics could not be successfully con tradicted by the proponents of the Treaty. THE NEW DRIVE to secure Senate approval of the Treaty has resulted in attempts to ex plain away or “clarify” the earlier remarks of Mr. Hoover. Armed with a letter from Mr. Hoover, Secretary of State Dean Rusk told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Mr. Hoover was not, after all, opposing ratification of the Treaty. WHILE THIS is technically true, it merely begs the ques tion. Mr. Hoover himself noted in a separate letter to one of the members of the Committee that “The FBI is the investi gative arm of the Department of Justice and, as such, it is our responsibility to gather and report facts. The FBI is not a policy-making agency and we did not express opinions.” MR. HOOVER went on in that letter, however, to reaf firm his prior observations that the establishment of Soviet Consulates in this country "of course, will make our work more difficult.” Mr. Hoover further wrote that “The simple fact is that the work of the FBI in combatting Soviet-directed espionage activities in this country has increased through the years commensurate with the increase in Soviet represen tation here. I can also state without equivocation that Com munist-Bloc diplomatic estab lishments in this country serve as focal points for intelligence operations.” ACCORDING TO Mr. Hoc- ver, representatives of the KGB (Soviet Committee of State Security) and the GRU (Soviet Military Intelligence Service) comprise a large seg ment of the Soviet diplomatic Lively routine PET SKIM MILK makes weight-watch ing a happy habit.
