Government to Open Its Case in Water Rights on August 5 By VERNON BAKER Unilsd Pihi Correspondent San Francisco OK When the government opens its case in the Colorado river water suit It In tends to prove that the water rights of reservation Indians in the arid Southwest are superior to those of the five states In the lower river basin. David E. Warner, attorney for the government, announced his intentions Friday as Special Su preme Court Master Simon H. Rifkind released the hearings until Aug. S. Warner said the United States would present evidence concern ing each of 28 southwestern In dian reservations and would show the Indians had superior claims to water for not Only present use, but future needs. Brings Reaction His statement brought a sud den reaction from attorneys for the various states involved. Mark Wiimer of Arizona said that the documents the govern ment plans to present concern ing the irrigability of Indian lands "strike directly at the en tire economy of Arizona and j cannot be treated in the same casual treatment given some from California." California chief counsel North eutt Ely said that if Warner claimed Indian rights not charge able to the state in which the water was used, it was Califor nia's position that the water for Indians should be charged to both the upper and lower basins. Possible Transfer Meanwhile Rifkind announced that on Aug. S he would make known his decision whether the complex water suit would be transferred-to New York for fur ther hearing. Rifkind said he "was not pre pared at this time either to di rect the transfer of the case to New ' Yprk and override the views of some, nor am I pre pared to say the case will stay here." He said he suggested the move because he was4 "eager to expe dite the suit" and in New York hearings could be held on a "day-to-day basis." The move was objected to strongly by Nevada, New Mex ico and Utah. Ely said Califor nia and Arizona were willing to send a "task force to New York if it meant expediting hearing of the case."

It said its economic devel opment plan for the first six months of this year was fulfilled by 104 per cent. The results were so good, the Communist party newspaper Pravda said, they justified the recent firing of former Premier Georgi Malenkov and other top leaders from their party and government posts. The central statistics depart ment reported an 11 per cent in crease in industrial output and an eight per cent increase in consumer goods, compared with the first six months of last year. Impressive Growth The most impressive growth was reported in the food indus try, which fulfilled the plan by 124 per cent. This lent encour agement to Communist party boss Nikita S. Khrushchev's fa vorite scheme to catch up with American production of meat, milk and butter in the next few years. The government said Its plan was more than fulfilled by all branches of the economy, "even the traditional laggards like the timber and fish industries." The economic report contain ed for the first time hard figures about production, instead of the usual vague percentages used In the past.. First Six Months Among the Items disclosed.
