o o Government Case In Colorado $ver Suit Continues By VERNON BAKER United Pren Correspondent San Francisco w The fed eral government continued its parade of exoert witnesses tn the stand today in the Colorado river suit to testify in support of its case for the rights of the southwestern Indian nations to Colorado river water. Two irrigation engineers tes tified yesterday, laying the groundwork for evidence to come on the needs of the In dians, which the government as serts must be paramount to those of the states involved in the voluminous suit. There seemed to be little like lihood that the trial would be shortened by limiting the gov ernment's evidence, a move sought by Special Supreme Court Master Simon H. Rifkind. Meets Attorneys Rifkind closeted himself with attorneys In the case for more than two hours in an effort to effect a compromise on evidence to be introduced by the United States. The meeting proved fruit less. "A number of possibilities were explored," Rifkind an nounced, "but we have arrived at no final conclusions." Rifkind said "further explor ation of the problem has been taken under advisement." Witnesses yesterday were Ern est C. Fortier of Fresno, Calif, and Wayne Criddle of Salt Laie City. Fortier, a government water engineer, was cross examined by California and Arizona concern ing his testimony on the water supply available to the 28 In dian reservations along the Col orado. Criddle Formula Criddle, co-author of the Blaney-Criddle formula for mea suring consumptive use of wa ter, testified as to the definition of various terms used in the field of irrigation engineering. The government began its case last week. It asserts its rights on the Colorado to water for its Indian wards, navigation and flood control are superior to those of the various states.

Meeting Slated To End Strike Detroit (IP) A 14-member committee for newspaper craft unions, sticking doggedly to its effort to resolve a five-day newspaper shutdown, scheduled another meeting this afternoon with the Detroit Newspaper Fublishers association. The joint-union committee and the six-member DNPA group ended an 8V4 hour conference at 1:30 a.m. today without set tling the main issue of the strike. The crafts committee had been named by 18 of the 25 union locals working at the three Detroit dailies to try and end the strike and suspension of publication. The key issue in the strike is the firing of 87 mailing room employees at the Detroit News. The strike started early Sat urday when News mailing room employees refused to work an nually. California was named as the defendant. Other parties to the suit, in addition to the gov ernment, are Nevada, New Mex ico and Utah. additional hour after a double shift. Before the morning ended, 87 mailed were fired following a News warning that refusal to work made them subject to dis missal. Picket lines were set up by Detroit Mailers Local 40 and observed by Teamsters Local 372 paper delivery drivers. This prevented distribution of News Saturday papers and of the last two editions of the Detroit Times. After the Detroit Times and the Detroit Free Press shared by-line credit on their Sunday editions with the News, the DNPA decided to suspend publi cation, since nearly all labor contracts are signed jointly by the three Detroit newspapers.
