Arizona Calls Second Witness
In Colorado River Water Suit
San Francisco (U.R) Wayne
Akin, chairman of the Arizona
Interitate Stream commission,
today was called as Arizona's
second witness in its suit against
California over Colorado river
water.
Theodora Kindl, Arizona at
torney, spent the first 45 min
utes of today's session in quali
fying Akin as an expert on Ari
zona farm and water problems.
He then questioned Akin about
the geographic boundaries of
the Colorado river drainage ba
sin which extends from Wyo
ming to the Mexican border.
Acquainted with Stat
Kindl described the witness
as a man who had "flown, driv
en, ridden and walked over Ari
zona many times."
Akin himself testified that
there was -no part of the state
I have not seen one way or an
other." Gov. Ernest McFarland of
Arizona was in the courtroom
today as Akin filled in the back
ground by which Arizona bases
in part its claim to 3.8 million
acre feet of Colorado ' river wa
ter per year.
Akin testified in a suit brought
by Arizona against California.
The U.S. Supreme court odered
Special Master Simon H. Rif
kind to hold a trial and to rec
ommend a verdict. The nigh
court will give the final deci
sion. Not Enough '
If Arizona wins, California
will lose 30 per cent of the 5,
365,000 acre feet of water it now
takes from the river about half
the supply of the metropolitan
Los Angeles water district.
There is not enough water to ful
ly satisfy the claims of both
states.
Arizona's first witness, Rus
sell C. Ewing, testified Tues
day. Ewing is a history profes
sor at the University of Arizona.
He went back to the 16th cen
tury and the Spanish conquista
dores to assert Arizona's histori
cal claims to Colorado river
watsr.
Ewing testified that Arizona
used water from the Gila river,
a tributary' of the Colorado, as
early as 1540.
Under cross - examination by
California counsel Norcutt Ely,
Ewing said that his information
came from written documents
left by the Spanish explorers
and from reports of U.S. Army
units who were sent to the Ari
zona territory in the last cen
tury to protect settlers from In
dian attacks.
Earlier Tuesday, Rifkind said
he will call a two-week recess
beginning July 9. He said he
must be in St. Louis on another
case.
John Moeur, chief counsel for
Arizona, said he doubted he will
be anywhere near completion of
its case by then. So far, Arizona
has introduced more than 100
documents.
Rifkind refused to let Arizona
enter into evidence a report of
the "Commission of 14" a
semi-official group comprising
delegates from each of the seven
states of the Colorado River
Compact. Rifkind said there
must be a limit to-the amount
of collateral material admitted
to the record.

Water Main, Paving Projects

bald eagle swooped down,
picked up Mrs. Julia Rosen-
i blum's cat and carried him about
100 yards across a field before
dropping the angry, howling ani
mal as a bad bargain.
The Medford city council last
night called for bids on two san
itary sewer projects, a water
main, and six paving projects.
Bids will be opened at 11 a.m
July 2 for sanitary sewers on
Valley View dr. between Capital
ave. and the north city limits,
and in the Verde Hills area
Bids on six paving projects
also will be opened at 11 a.m.
July 2. They are Boardman st.
from Ohio to McAndrews rd
Broad st. from Jackson to Clark,
East Second St. from Front st. to
Central ave., Kenwood ave
from Humphrey to West Second
St., North Keene Way dr. from
Jackson to Oregon ave., and
Fairmount st. from Summit to
the end of the street.
Authorize Sewn
An ordinance authorizing the
Verde Hills area sewer was
adopted after considerable dis
cussion concerning assessments
at a public hearing. The assess
ments will be studied by the fi
nance committee at a meeting
to which residents of the area
will be invited.
' Most resident of the area last
night believed methods of assess
ment proposed were inequitable
and some suggested a combina
tion of assessments based on
sewer connections and front
footage
City Manager Robert Duff sub
mitted three methods of assessing
the property on an area basis
based on square footage, on a
front foot basis with alternates
for lots with two or three sides,
ana on a per lot basis.
Duff said the estimated cost
under . the area method ranges
from assessments as high as
$3,990 to a low of $87 on the
smallest tract. Front footage
costs would be based on not
more than an estimated $3.36 per
foot. The per lot estimated cost
is S379. Duff said.
Includes 154 Lots
The project, which includes
154 lots, would cost an estimated
$74,000. Property owners sign
ing petitions represented 65.6
per cent of the front footage in
volved. '
Some residents said they be-
nevea tne per lot basis was more
equitablewhile others believed
residents should be assessed for
extnding the sewer line along
property lines whether large or
small lots.
A hearing on paving Modoc
ave. from East Main st. to Wood-
lawn ave. was continued until
next meeting,' and the petition
referred to the streets and road
committee for consideration and
clarification. Dr. Robert De-
Lorme objected to the paving.
stating that four of the five res!
dents in the block in which he
lives do not favor paving as far

Previous Petition
The streets and road commit
tee will consider a previous peti
tion submitted for paving from
iast Main st. to the old city lim
its. The first petition was sub
mitted before annexation, and
no action was taken until a new
petition was circulated in the
annexed area to extend paving to

Des Moines Mayor
Sorry Invifafion
Extended Russian
Des Moines, Iowa (U.R)
Mayor Ray Mills said today he
is sorry he invited the mayor of
a Russian city to visit Des
Moines because "the Commun
ists are making hay out of it."
Nikolai Respopov, mayor of
the Russian steel city of Dne
propetrovsk, can come to . Des
Moines if he wants to, Mills said.
"But he'll be doing it on his
own time," Mills insisted." "I'm
not inviting him."
Mills invited Respopov last
February, saying he hoped the
visit would "bring a closer un
derstanding between our two
peoples.
Mayor Cools on Idea
The Russian accepted, but
Mills cooled toward the whole
idea because he said the Com
munists have twisted his invita
tion into an endorsement of
Communism.
Mills, also president of the
AFL state Federation of Labor,
said the Communists "are mak
ing hay out of ft and I don't
want any part of it..
He said the Communist Daily
Worker in New York had used
his original invitation "to try to
show the AFL is now beginning
to see eye-to-eye with the Communists."
Moscow radio also has "used
my position as AFL president
for propaganda purposes," he
said.
"As far as I'm concerned that
cancels the whole thing out.'
