TEK MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, August 7. 1957 Arizona Farmers Able To Repay Only Small Part of Project Cost San Francisco HP A former official of the Federal Budget Bureau testified late Tuesday in the Colorado river suit Arizona farmers could re pay only one-fifth of 1 per cent of the cost of constructing the $462,935,000 Central Arizona project. , The witness, R. L. Cochran, testified for California on the economic features of California and Arizona water projects at issue in the "states rights" fight over the valuable Colorado riv er water. Arizona counsel Mark Wilmer argued against the admission of Cochran's testimony for nearly an hour, asserting that the evi dence would be based on "equi ty" rather than law. Northcutt Ely, California's chief counsel, countered Wil- Judge Sustains Wjlliams Deynurrer Portland HP) A demurrer against an indictment returned by the Multnomah county grand jury against Brad William?, Ore gon Journal reporter, has been sustained by Presiding Circuit Judse Charles W, Reddine. However, the court" gave he attorney generaF permission to resubmit the case. The indictment i n v o 1 ve d charged that Williams had aided former District Attorney Wil liam M. Langley in obtaining a search warrant which led to the raid on the home of Raymond F. Clark in May of last year, in which deputy sheriffs obtained tape recordings. Judge Redding held that the indictment was faulty in that there was no charge that Wil liams acted in harmony with Langley to obtain the search war rant. . mer's argument with the asser tion that Arizona s entire claim for a greater share of irrigation water was based on alleged need rather than on grounds of strict legal right. Supreme Court Master Simon H. Rifkind heard arguments pro and con in Federal District Court, then ruled Cochran's tes timony was admissible. The former budget official of fered a report on the Central Arizona project which outlined the construction costs and the fees farmers served by the ir rigation system would pay. He said Arfeona farmers would pay only $475 per acre-foot for their Ship Machinists To Veto Contract San Francisco (IP) Mach inists employed at Pacific Coast shipyards served notice Tuesday they will not accept the new master contract. The contract had received the approval of most of the 10,000 Pacific Coast shipyard workers. Twelve unions had taken part in the negotiations. It was not known immediately whether the refusal of the ma chinists to accept the new pact would keep it from, going into effect. Tom Temple, Portland spokes man for the shipyard machin ists, said his union would not be bound by the new contract He called a meeting in Seattle Thursday for representatives from Northwest Pacific ports to discuss further moves. Negotiations for shipyard ma chinists are separate from those conducted by striking San Fran cisco Bay Area machinists with the California Metal Trades as sociation. water which would barely de fray operating and maintenance costs of the project. Wilmer Unsuccessful In his unsuccessful argument Wilmer asked that Rifkind lim it testimony to that which bears directly on a legal interpreta tion of the Colorado River compact. "Under the Boulder Canyon Project act, and contracts, Ari zona has a definite right to cer tain amounts of water," he said, "and we are asking this court to quiet title to that amount." Ely said he wanted it clari fied whether Arizona was rely ing on strict law in its claim to Colorado river water or wheth er it was basing the claim on wider "rights." Although Arizona lost the fight to exclude Cochran's testi mony, earlier it stopped Calif ornia's attempt to introduce into the record arguments before the Arizona legislature leading up to the 1928 ratification of the Col orado River compact.

Most of Nation Sees No Immediate End To Cool Canadian Air BevBeaeBBBBBBeBvaeBVHBBseeaei 490 By UNITED PRESS Shirtsleeve weather was on the way back to the plains states today, but the rest of the nation saw no signs the brisk sojourn of Canadian air was at an end.

Pacific also filed a petition re questing the merger. The merger would give El Paso an 8,900-mile natural gas pipeline net stretching, west from Texas to California and north to the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada. El Paso pointed out it already owns 99.8 per cent of Pacific's common stock. In a separate application, Pa cific asked for permission to hike its natural gas rates by $5,500,000 a year to reflect higher operating costs. Belter Service In its merger application. El Paso said combining the firms would provide better and more economical service for custo mers of both companies through a "single, integrated company." It also said it needed to tap the big "proved and potential gas reserves" of Pacific in West ern Canada and the Rockies to meet the "extensive demands" of California for natural gas. It said it planned to deliver in the near future an additional 500 million cubic feet of gas per day to California. This must come largely from reserves in Western Canada and the Rocky Mountain states. - Pacific, with its 2,125-mile sys tem, now serves New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Ida ho, Oregon and Washington. Its principal market is the Pacific Northwest. El Paso's 6,700-mile system stretches from West Texas to California. ing to Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. Generally fair skies and moderate temperatures in the eastern part of the country were attributed to the Canadian front which has been lounging around the past few days. Rainfall Sparse Temperatures in the Pacific Northwest were around 60, and at the other end of the nation, from the Appalachians into New England, reports of temperatures in 40s and 50s were made. Rainfall was sparse during the night, a few showers spat tering the Gulf Coast and Flor ida. Heavier amounts fell in the central and southern Rockies where a (whip of light showers and thunderstorms was. snapped. Northern Plains Cool Little change in temperature was expected in most parts of the nation today. The northern plains were due for a cool breath from the eastward bound Pacific air mass. Only the strip from the cen tral plains to the western Great Lakes seemed due for a change, a slight warming. Rainfall was forecast for the area upward through the Rockies, and east ward through the northern plains to northernmost parts of the Great Lakes. Khrushchev Greets Factory Workers On Visit To Berlin Berlin. (IP) Communist boss Nikita Khrushchev arrived here today to begin a seven-day visit that may result in the conclu sion of a separate.peace perpet uating the division of conquer ed Germany. The Red leader was accomp anied by Deputy Premier Anas tas Mikoyan, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Deputy Foreign Trade Minister I. Kum ykin. Premier Nikolai Bulgan in, who usually has accompanied Khrushchev on such jaunts in the past, stayed home. The Red regime here marshal ed govTiment employees and factory workers by the thousand and marched them to the rail road station in formation to wel come the Russian visitors. Waves to Worker! Hundreds . of . Communist troops, security agents and po lice were massed around the station. Khrushchev waved and beam ed at the parading workers, then planted a kiss on the cheek of Deputy Premier Walter Ul bricht, the hated Stalinist lead er of Red Germany. One of the main purposes of the Soviet visit is believed to be to bolster the unpopular Ul- bncht regime, which has come under increasing attack because of its loyalty to the principles of the late Josef Stalin. Outside the station, Khrush chev and Mikoyan patted chil dren on the heads and slapped the backs of Communist offic ials. Both men were wreathed in smiles. The ingratiating behavior of the Russians drew no cheers and only scattered applause from the German crowd. . Adventisls Announce' Pastoral Changes Gladstone, Ore.
