DOAK BUGU'S CAPITOL. Today "Sally." with Marylin Miller. The state engineer hat no au thority to grant applications filed by Romalne W. Meyers of Oak land, Califs and Charles H. Lea of Berkeley for water power rights on the Rogue rlrer to Jo sephine eounty, according to a legal opinion handed down by I. H. Van Winkle, attorney gener al, here Tuesday. The proposed development was to cost approxi mately $23,000,000. Rhea Luper, state engineer, with whom the applications were filed, aaid he surmised that the case would be carried" into the courts for final determination. The attorney general held that tte appropriations requested in1 the applications are prohibited by an act of the 1929 legislature, notwithstanding that the applica tions were filed sometime, prior to the passage of the act. The 1929 legislative act withdraws from appropriation the waters of Rogue river, in the district involved, ex cept for domestic, stock, irriga tion and municipal purpose, atbd prohibits the placing Of any ob m. stacles in the stream that would interfere with the free migration of fish. Six Applications Are Filed Here Meyers and L-e hare filed six applications with the state engin eer. Four of these are for the appropriation of water for power. one for the construction of a dam and the other for the storage of water in a reservoir. "A water right does not come into existence," read the attorney general's opinion, "until the ap plication has been approved and the applicant has, subject to such approval, taken at least some steps to apply the water to the beneficial use authorized by the THE HOLLTWOOD Today "The Trespasser" with Gloria Swanson.

Van Winkle indicated in his opinion that the legislature ap parently had knowledge of Mey ers and Lee applications at the time it passed the act. The act originally was request ed by the sportsmen of the Rogue rirer valley, who alleged that a continuation of power develop ment on the stream, would inter fere with fish migration and even tually eliminate the game fish.

California, who presided at the finance committee meeting, and others who have been active in de mands for liberalization declared they were confident the bill would be enacted at this session. Short ridge said he "indulged in the as sumption that if passed substan tially as presented, the president woifld sign it." The senate committee cut down the outlay by limiting disabilities which would be presumed to be attributable to war service. It was estimated tne house measure would have cost at least 1150,- 000,000 and at most $400,000, 000 a year iu addition to funds now provided. The house bill would have ex tended the period of presumption of service connection for all dis abilities, for five years.

LONDON. Jane le (AP) Discussion- of the first volume of Sir John Simon's Indian govern ment report today overshadowed all other development la the Indian situation. The Indian "press did not take as kindly to the initial instalment, which was a thorough analysis as had been hoped. Hindu leaders criticized it severely. It had few er friends among congress spokes men than before its republication. London newspapers paid tri bute to the achievement Of the Simon commission, emphasized ita importance, praised the unanimity of its members and stressed a likelihood that whatever recom mendations may be contained in ike second and final release of June 24, the self-determination ot native India remained a mat ter of the distant future. The Mail and the Telegraph saw in the report no prospect ot self government at short notice- and nothing to comfort Indian ex tremists who have demanded ear ly establishment ot a dominion status. The Laborite Daily Herald In slated transition to a responsible government would have to be car ried out as quickly as might be while the Liberal News and Chronicle foresaw a swing ot gov eminent favor toward self rule in the commission's tribute to the manner in which the Indians have worked the constitution set up in 1929.
