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.

FALLEN ANGEL This is a view of Mexico City's famed
. Independence Pillar, in the Paseo.de la Reforma, as it was
(left) before the death-dealing earthquake which rocked
the city. The temblor toppled the figure of an angel that
surmounted the 90-foot-high marble column (right). Many
feared the fall of the gilt and bronze figure as an omen
of further ill fortune.

Pacific Northwest
Natural Gas Line
Merger Requested
Washington OP) El Paso
Natural Gas ' Company today
asked the Federal Power Com
mission for permission to merge
the Pacific Northwest Pipeline
Corp. into its system.
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. .
