California Given
Slap by Colorado
River Commission
Portland (U.R) The upper
Colorado River commission took
a pie-convention slap at Cal
ifornia here Saturday in a reso
lution proposed to the National
Reclamation association.
The resolution, while it did
not mention California by name,
urged that any state which has
. objections to a project "is urged
carefully to reconsider such ob
. jections and to withdraw the
same, if consistent with the pro
jection of her long-range legiti
mate interests, In order to assist
her sister states of the west."
California is reportedly vig
orously opposed to the proposed
- $1,000,000,000 upper Colorado
river storage project. The NRA
directors, in a pre-convention
session, declined to consider the
proposal. It was referred to the
Resolutions committee.
The resolution also urged the
NRA to fight "more aggressive
ly" for new reclamation proj
ects. It was proposed by Geof
frey Will, Denver, Commission
secretary; George D. Clyde, Utah
Commissioner of Interstate
streams, and John R. Erickson
of the New Mexico State Engi
neer's office.
: t The convention opens Mon
day. Delegates from each of the
17 Western states will hold sepa
rate meetings Monday morning,
followed by afternoon talks by
Secretary of Interior Douglas
McKay and C. Petrus Peterson,
Lincoln, Neb., Association president.

West Linn Boy Dies
From Gunshot While
Playing at Home
West Linn (U.R) A nine-year-old
boy was accidentally
shot to death by his 10-year-old
brother while they played soldier
in their home here Saturday,
Coroner Leslie Peake reported.
Peake said little John E. Car
ter was shot by his brother,
Robert Leroy Carter while both
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W.
Carter, were away at work.
The Coroner said Robert told
him this story:
An older brother had placed
the 30.06 rifle in a corner where
the father kept it. John went
into the bedroom and got bullets
and leaded and emptied the gun
about three times. Robert said
he loaded and emptied it once
and then loaded it again. "I
thought he emptied it," Robert
said. The boys were playing
"soldier and enemy," Robert
told the Coroner.
Robert told Peake he stayed
behind his father's chair and
lifted the gun to the back of it
while John tried to hide behind
the stove. "I had it aimed at the
stove; I didn't even touch the
trigger it just went' off," Rob
ert said.
A sister; Susan, 7, was in a
bedroom at the time. She and
Robert went to a neighbor's
house to tell about the tragedy.
The shooting occurred about
11:15 a.m. Saturday.
A-BombFall-Out
Causes Error in
Prehistoric Date
Stanford University, Calif.
i(U.R) Radioactive "fall-out"
from A-bomb tests resulted in
scientists in New York state mak
ing a 1,000-year mistake in dat
ing the earliest inhabitants of
the San Francisco Bay area, ac
cording to local scientists.
The three-cornered mixup be
gan in 1952 when Prof. Bert A.
Gerow, Stanford University an
thropologist, unearthed the rich
est cache of ancient Indian
burials ever found on the San
Francisco Peninsula.
He sent wood charcoal sam
ples from these prehistoric
graves to Columbia University's
Lamont Geological Observatory
at Palisades, N. Y., for tests by
radioactivity to determine their
age. The tests, called carbon
dating, are the most accurate
means yet discovered to determ
ine absolute age.
Other Tests Made
While the samples waited in
the observatory's laboratory,
other tests were taking place in
the Nevada desert A-bomb
tests. Microscopic specks of
radioactive debris were blown
sky-high and they floated clear
across the North American con
tinent, some settling on the pro
fessor's charcoal samples in New
York. .
The samples were duly pro
cessed and in March 1953, the
laboratory reported to Gerow
that his find was approximately
2,000 years old.
He was puzzled. The artifacts,
he believed, belonged to an earl
ier era. So he sent the observa
tory more samples.
Meantime, laboratory officials
discovered the contamination.
Gerow's later samples confirm
ed his doubts of the first test.
The earliest known inhabitants
now appear to have lived on the
may shore near Palo Alto around
900 to 1200 B.C.
Ed Johnson Calls
For Program Change
Denver (U.R) Sen. Ed. C.
Johnson (D-Col.), Colorado gov
ernor elect, said Friday the pro
posed Upper Colorado river de
velopment program should be
reversed to provide for construc
tion of small upper stream res
ervoirs first, instead of big multi-purpose
dams downstream.
Johnson said the program,
which calls for initial construc
tion of 10 big dams and power
projects at the lower end of the
basin, would cost the upper bas
in a minimum of 880,000 acre
feet of water a year through silt
collection and evaporation.
