Westerners Ask Congressional Action To Patch Ud Water Rift Washington A powerful bloc of Westerners in Con gress wants action in 1960 to patch up the rift between the Federal Government and sev eral Western states over water rights. Water is as precious as gold in many regions of the West and its use always has been closely regulated by state law. But several Supreme Court decisions of recent years have made the states fearful their authority to grant rights for the development of water re sources may be restricted by the Federal government What would be worse, the states say, is the possibility that projects begun years ago under state granted water rights and de veloped at great expense could be taken over by the Government at any time with no guarantee of compensation. Navigability Issue The problem is two-fold. To begin with, the constitu tional - clause directing Con gress to regulate interstate commerce was interpreted by the Supreme Court to mean that the Federal Government could exercise control over all navigable waterways. In other words, a person using the waters of a river under a right granted him by the state conceivably could be forced to yield that right to the Government at any time with no compensation for his loss.. Under this doctrine, which has come to be known as nav igation servitude, the states had to confine their jurisdic tion over water rights t o the smaller, non - navigable streams within their respec tive boundaries. In 1940, the Supreme Court decided that even some non navigable streams should be subject to Federal control under the Constitution's com merce clause. The Court ex tended the navigability stand ard to non-navigable streams that might be made navigable and to tributaries flowing into navigable rivers. The doctrine of navigation servitude aroused fears among state officials and po tential water users that vir tually no waterway-even the remote streams in the vast Western watersheds-could be developed without the pos sibility of later Federal con trol. Pelion Dam Cue Their fears were compound ed by the Court's decision in the Pelton Dam case in 1955. The Court upheld the right of the Federal Power commis sion to license a power com pany to build a dam on a river in Oregon, despite the fact that the State of Oregon had refused to grant water rights to that company. Since i there was no question of the river's navigability, the state felt it had control over all water rights. But the Supreme Court said that state control was superseded by the Fed eral Government because the proposed dam was to have been built on land owned by the Federal Government and reserved by it for use as a power site. The Pelton Dam decision touched off violent protests from the Western states, which have huge ' tracts of Government - owned public land within their borders. Public lands can be with drawn or reserved by the Government for use as na tional parks and forests, mil itary reservations or power development sites. Dissenting in the Pelton Dam decision, Justice William O. Douglas said: 'In the West, the U. S. owns a vast amount of land. If by mere executive action the Federal lands may be re served, and all the water rights . . . returned to the U.S., vast dislocations in the economies of the Western states may follow." Legislative Proposals Two legislative proposals on water rights are awaiting I960 action. A measure spe cifically designed to nullify the effects of the Pelton Dam case has the support of the Departments of Interior and Justice and the National Re clamation association. They say the bill, which provides that reservations of public lands by the Government would " not affect state water rights is a good first step in redefining Federal-state rela tions on this issue. It is spon sored by House and Insular Affairs Committee Chairman Wayne N. Aspinall (D-Colo.). A much broader bill is be STARTS SMOBCE DAMAGE SA FromGREEUWADE'S APPAREL $ 1X000 SMOKE DAMAGED CHRISTMAS DUE TO THE Plaza Cafe Fire!
