TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, June 24. 1958 Arizona Gets Nod in Hearing on Rights of Water of Colorado San Francisco (U.R) The legal flood gates have been thrown open by Special Master Simon H. Rifkind in the dispute be tween California and Arizona over Colorado River water rights. Rifkind, who is hearing the complex suit at the request of the U.S. Spureme Court, Friday gave the nod to Arizona over California's strenous objections to the admission of "equitable needs" testimony. The ruling could unleash a torrent of evidence from all states with a stake in the vital irrigation potential of the Colo rado river complex. It also cleared the way for an open court fight on California's thorny Feather River project, which has drawn fire from Southern California farmers be cause of alleged favoritism to Northern California users un der the controversial "county of origin" clause. Testimony Opposed Northcutt Ely. California's chief counsel, objected to Ari zina's attempt to present testi mony by an "expert on the econ omy and growth of Arizona" leading to establishing that state's future water needs. After consulting with counsel representing Nevada, New Mex ico and the United States gov ernment. Rifkind ruled the evi dence admissible but warned Arizona to "pare its evidence to the bone." Ely indicated Rifkind had thrown wide the doors to broad er fields of evidence. "California, of course, will have to offer proof of its econ omic growth-and that's quite a considerable subject," Ely said. He also said that evidence per missible under the ruling could include the proposed "Great Western Project," a plan for di verting water from the Colum bia and Snake Rivers in the Pa cific' Northwest to the Colorado River, and plans for bringing water from the Kansas and Mis souri Rivers into Arizona. Earlier, John Stanley, Colora do River control engineer for the Bureau of Reclamation, ad mitted under cross-examination Milk Price War Goss To Longview Section Longview, Wash. (U.R) Southwest Washington's milk price war reached the Longview Kelso area Saturday when dis tributors and retailers of milk-by-the-gallon cut prices to meet competition of a dairy products store and two supermarkets. Processors said they would deliver gallon jugs of milk to homes for 66 cents, compared to the old gallon price of 80 cents delivered and 77 cents at stores. Two Longview supermarkets had offered two-half-gallon car tons of milk for 68 cents. They said they were attempting to compete with the dairy prod ucts store which had posted the 68-cent price for several weeks. c Beautiful CEDAR FENCING DELTA WOOD there had been a "lavish" use of water by contract users in the lower Colorado basin. Excess Water Stanley, testifying for Arizo na, said that at times there had been an excess amount of water released below Hoover Dam, but he pointed out "there had been ample water in the river until three or four years ago" to sat isfy all demands. "I think when the time comes when every drop of water is badly needed that sort of situ ation will not occur," the engin eer said. Out of court, chief counsel John H. Moeur of Arizona said reports that "water faucets would be cut off" in Southern California if Arizona won the suit were "false and absurd." "California has many sources of water," he said, "while Ari zona has only one the Colorado." CHIPfENOAlE The Charming Answer To Pet Control, Property lines, Privacy. DOZENS OF NEW FRESH DESIGNS!

Reason given is that after imbibing a couple of highballs passengers became talkative and so continue for into the night. This made it dif ficult for other passengers to sleep.

If they are of the type designed for feminine wear, although it is in bad taste, it is legal attire. However, when women wear the type of pants or slacks designed for men, it is illegal attire and should not be permitted. Asking Queries from clients. Q.

Cat II Right State Labor Group Ends Conference; Pick Site For 1957 Portland (U.R) The Oregon State Labor council ended its first five-day convention here Friday by selecting Klamath Falls as site for its 1957 conclave. The Portland convention saw a final merger of AFL and CIO unions into an Oregon State Labor Council modelled after the pattern of the national un ions. Oregon thus became the 10th state in the nation, and the first on the West Coast, to ac complish the merger. One of the final hassles at the last day of the convention was over a proposal to give labor council support to a drive for health and welfare benefits to state employees. Opposition came from dele gates who said state employees had consistently refused to join the cause of organized labor and had neglected to help them selves. 'Worst Enemies' Volney Martin, secretary of the State Building Trades Coun cil, charged that state employees were "the worst enemies" or ganized labor has. James T. Marr, secretary of the new state council and a former city em ployee, won approval of the health and welfare resolution with a compromise eliminating specific steps for creation of a health and welfare fund and simply pledging labor support for such a fund for state work ers. Other resolutions adopted by the convention put the council on record as opposed to importa tion of Japanese doors and clothes: opposed to the partner ship plan of power development; in favor of full withholding of the state income tax; in favor of a $1 200 salary for state legisla tors; and opposed to a state sales tax. Cattle May Graze On Soil Bank Land Washington (U.R) The ag riculture department said Satur day farmers in drought-designated counties will be permitted to graze livestock on sou bank acre age and still collect benefits. Under the new farm law, the governor of each state contain ing drought-designated counties must ask the department for per mission to graze the lands. De partment officials said such per mission would be granted. There are 145 counties in nine states that have been designated as drought-disaster areas. Under such designation eligible farmers and ranchers can participate in the emergency feed grain pro gram. ; Under this program they may obtain certain feed grains at a reduction in price of $1 per hun dredweight. The program is de signed to help stockmen in stricken areas maintain basic livestock herds. The drought-designated areas are: Arizona, 5 counties; Colora do, 10: Kansas. 12: Nevada, 1; New Mexico, 28; Oklahoma, 6; Texas. 78; Washington, 4; and Utah, 1. This is the second time soil bank regulations have been soft ened since June 8. On June 21, the department offered to accept in the soil bank land which had been grazed by livestock during 1956. Such land was held to be eligible if the grazing was halted by June 22. Officials said the grazing ban was lifted because it was consid ered unfair to farmers who used their fields for pasture before knowing the soil bank would be in effect this year. ON THE DOUBLE .

Public Hearings On Hydroelectric Project Scheduled Pendleton (U.R) The Feder al Power commission will sound out public sentiment here Mon day on proposed construction of the largest hydroelectric project ever undertaken in" the Pacific Northwest with private capital. The FPC will hear non-technical testimony on proposed Mountain Sheep and Pleasant Valley projects on the middle Snake river 75 miles south of Lewiston, Ida. The Pendleton hearing will last two days and another will be held at Lewiston June 28 and 29. Pacific Northwest Power com pany last September filed appli cation with the FPC and with the Oregon Hydroelectric Com mission for a license to build the two dams that would cost $213 million and ultimately generate 1,446,000 kilowatts, second only to Grand Coulee dam. Technical Aspects Technical aspects of the proj ects will be aired at a hearing in Washington July 24. The two dams between Ore gon and Idaho would be located above the mouths of the Salmon and Imnaha rivers to protect fish migrations. Pleasant Valley dam would be 534 feet high, highest of its kind in the United States and third highest in the world. Turbines and generators would be the largest ever built. Pacific Northwest Power com pany is a combine of Pacific Power & Light, Portland Gen eral Electric, Washington Water Power and Montana Power Co. Its officers said they could have new power on the line by 1960 if a license is granted this year. Egyptians Vote on Ending Revolution Cairo, Egypt (U.R) Egyp tian men and women voted Sat urday on whether to end the re volution which threw out King Farouk and set up a constitu tional republic with Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser as presi dent. Tabulating was expected to take two days. The ballots were simple, re quiring merely a "yes" or "no" vote. Observers said an over whelming "yes" vote was a fore gone conclusion. It was the first election in the history of this ancient land of Pharaohs in which women were permitted to vote. All men over the age of 18 were required to vote. It was the first election held by the ruling revolution com mand council since the army ousted King Farouk nearly four years ago. Some 5,720,657 men and women were eligible to cast ballots. Nasser, who headed the revo lutionary council, was the only candidate for president. He was nominated by his council. The term will be for six years. The plebescite came at the end of five days of "liberation" festivities which ended Friday with government loudspeaker trucks touring the streets of Cairo urging a vote for Nasser and the new constitution. The festivities marked the ev acuation of the last British troops from Suez, a week ago Wednesday. Eisenhower Overrules Order for Civies for Washington Officers Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower Saturday overruled an order requiring 11.000 mili tary officers here to shed their uniforms and work in civilian clothes. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty announced the decision. There had been some complaints from officers who said the defense department ord er would cost them a lot of money. Hagerty said Mr. Eisenhower "feels it the order should be optional, and particularly on junior oficers. to avoid an exces sive outlay of money" for civil ian clothes. Against "Military Act" Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson's order was issued yester day, effective in one week. He said, "I don't think at the seat of government it is a good thing to put on the military act." Hagerty said the Wilson order had been discussed by the White House staff, and was taken up with President Eisenhower yes terday morning. He said a new revised order will be issued by the defense department. He thought there would be an announcement soon. Peacetime Practice Hagerty noted that Mr. Eisen hower wore civilian clothes most of the time when he was a miljtary officer stationed in Washington before World War II. That was the peacetime cus tom in this country. However, officers here have been kept in uniform ever since World War II ended. Wilson's original order creat ed a considerable stir among this town's military set. A major summed up his dif ficulty this way: "It'll cost me a couple of . hundred .bucks to get some civilian suits and I've Students Should Raise Sights on Education Austin, Tex. (U.R) University students preparing for careers in education should raise their sights, aiming toward adminis trative or college teaching jobs, a University of Texas professor says. Dr. C. C. Colvert, educational administration department chairman and junior college ed ucation consultant, reports a already got more than $700 worth of uniforms which I ap parently won't need now. Any way you look at it, I'm out money." Reservists on duty here were particularly disgruntled. Several said they had just bought several hundred dollars worth of uni forms for their two-year hitches and that the money is now virtually a total loss. But if there was grumbling among the officers, there was also squeals of delight in Wash ington department stores. They happily anticipated a previously unexpected summer rush on suits. The order didn't apply to en listed men for reasons which no one explained. But it will re lieve them of a lot of saluting.

The Unemployment Compen sation commission reported that the figure of 479,000 was the highest since labor records have been compiled in the state. It said the present trend would put the total well over the half million mark by August or Sep tember. The total a year ago was 462,100.. Lumbering and logging indus tries had some declines during the month but other businesses reported seasonal gains, the big gest in metals and transporta tion equipment, including ship repairing.
