S 4 "TfTVlUS TO TR4MSUITE California Accused Dumping Colorado Water Into Salton Sea San Francisco U.R) Arizona accused California Thursday of dumping billions of gallons of water into the Salton sea to jus tify a gigantic raid on Colorado river water. John H. Moeur, Arizona's chief counsel, leveled this charge against California in his open ing arguments in a fight between the two states over rights to this water. The fight Is being waged be fore Special Master Samuel H. Rifkind. The U.S. Supreme court ordered him to hear the case and to recommend a deci sion. The court Itself will give the final verdict. At issue are the two states' rival claims to the water. Arizona- claims it is entitled to 3, 800.000 acre feet a year. Cali fornia claims it is entitled to 5. 362.000 acre feet. There is not enough water to satisfy the claims of both states. Fifty Attorneys Before some 50 attorneys and water experts, Moeur traced the history of the Colorado river from its early days as an "ugly muddy wild stream of the coun try to its present state as a great water source harnessed by dams, power plants and pump ing stations. He insisted that the Colorado River Compact of 1922, along with other documents compris ing the "Law of the River," gave Arizona exclusive rights to 2, 800.000 acre feet from the Colo rado's main stream, plus anoth er 1,000,000 acre feet from the Gila river, a tributary. He accused California of di verting water "out -of all pro portion" through the All-Ameri-can canal. He said this diversion wastes "probably as much water as it involved in this lawsuit" by dumping it into the Salton sea. Frantic Effort "California is now and has been for several years past en gaged in a frantic effort to di vert all of the water possible from the Colorado river in order to build up a historic use of that water upon which they might predicate some alleged claim of priority or need," Moeur said. Attorney John P. Frank of the Arizona Interstate Stream com mission placed into the record three documents vital to his state's case. They were the 1922 compact, the California Limitation act of 1929 and the 1944 water con tract with the U.S. government. He also placed into the record his definition of "beneficial J-XWHO'S ON FIRST?
