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
