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.

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.

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."

On The Side
By f. V. DURLING
(Distributed by King Features
Syndicate. Inc.)
Some airlines have discontin
ued serving alcoholic beverages
on night flights. 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. That seems a reasonable
objection. Yet on a recent night
flight I was on, a couple of near
by females had nothing but cof
fee. Yet they talked and cackled
in shrill tones all night. And
also kept their lights on. So
don't blame it all , on liquor.
Horses and Women
Should women wear slacks
in the downtown sections of a
city? Such is the question be
ing discussed. 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. You
say jockey club rules prohibit
names of horses having more
than 14 letters, including spaces.
How about the horse named
Californian Kid? A. The noble
animal you refer to is named
California Kid. No "N" in the
name . . . Q. Who was the rich
est, John D. Rockefeller, An
drew Mellon or Henry Ford?
A. Melon built up the largest
fortune. Ford was second in
that respect and John D. Rocke
feller, third.
Among The Married
Subject of a recent prize let
ter competition was "How I
Hooked My Husband." Many
wives entered the competition
and wrote with apparent pride
and enthusiasm about the man
ner in which they hooked their
husbands. Some of the methods
used were most revealing. How
right that man was who said:
"The world is full of women
and the women full of wile."
By the way, how did your wife
hook you? Or don't you know
definitely? What are your.sus
picions?

barbers on the Pacific coast,

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.

idea was advanced by Balzac

Clergyman Soys Russian
Visit Here Successful
Williams Bay, Wis. (U.R) A
leading clergyman Friday night
described a recent exchange
visit of American and Soviet
church officials as "very suc
cessful." Dr. Eugene Carson Blake,
president of the National Coun
cil of Churches of Christ, said
the visits provided a basis for
"acquaintance and conversation."
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
