By VERNON BAKER
United Pren Correspondent
San Francisco w The fed

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

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

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

Criddle, co-author of the
Blaney-Criddle formula for mea

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

the defendant. Other parties to
the suit, in addition to the gov
