California Loses
Colorado Gliver Fight
Washington - (WD - Califor
nia lost it Supreme Court
fight for a share ci the en
tire Colorado river water
' system, including tributaries
Justice Hugo L. Black spoke
for the court in a 32-page
; opinion, to which three Jus
tices dissented. Chief Justice
Earl Warren, a Californian
. did not Darticipate.
- Black said under Califor
1 nia'f view "which we reject.
; the first 7.8 million acre-leet
: of lower basin water, of which
; California has agreed to use
' only 4.4 million, is. made up
of both mainstream and trib-
utary water, not Just main-
stream water."
: The court then said:
: "Under the view of Arl-
- zona, Nevada, and the Unit-
;ed, States, with which we
: agree, the tributaries are not
included in the waters to be
" divided but remain for the
" exclusive use of each state.
I Assuming 7.5 million acre
'1 feet or more In the main-
-stream and 2 million In the
tributaries. California would
; get one million acre-feet more
; ix the tributaries are included
: and Arizona one million less."
- The 9-3 decision is of vast
economic significance in the
Southwest, where the Colors-
V do and its tributaries are the
'' only large-scale source of wa
" tcr. The case was considered
r the most Important water
.': lawsuit in the nation's his
"tory. - . .., ...ni u.
: to puah for the blliion-dollar
i central Arizona reclamation
-project, covering 500,000
acres. In 1951, a congreialun-
al committee refused to con
sider the project until Colo
rado water rights were set
tled. Arizona sued California di
rectly in the Supreme Court
on Aug. 31, 1952, to obtain
such a determination. The
suit climaxed a scries of in
ter state water feuds going
back many years.
The United States took
part in the case because of
its interest in Indian lands,
national parks and the like.
Nevada, as a lower Colorado
river basin stale, also was
party to the prolonged case,
Utah and New Mexico were
allowed to take part in the
arguments but only with re
spect to lower basin water.
The case was argued last
term but was reheard this
term because of changes In
the court s membership.
Justices Byron R. White
and Arthur J. Goldberg heard
the case for the first time this
year.
County's 8,071 Residents
Over 65 Save at Tax Time
Some 8,071 residents of
Jackson county have made
the happy discovery that It
pays to be over 65, at least
at certain times.
One of these times is when
federal income taxes are due.
That is when their age stands
them In good stead. Under the
law, they have advantages
that are not available to mere
striplings of 64 or under.
The tax laws favor them
with special deductions and
allowances to help ease their
financial burdens, which be
come harder to cope wun ai
that atago of life.
An estimate, based on fed
eral government figures,
shows that the 8,071 local res
idents who arc In that age
bracket were able to save ap
proximately $352,300 In fed
eral Income taxes, as a result
in the past fiscal year.

MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1963
Need vacation money?
United stales wno are over
65, the tax saving in the year
amounted to a healthy $742
000,000. This is revealed in
data published by the Depart
ment of Health, Education
and Welfare.
The official figures show
that $482,000,000 of it is at-
tribulable to the fact that per
sonal exemptions for the el
derly are $1,200, instead of
the usual $600.
Of the remainder, $140,000,
000 represents additional de
ductions permitted for medi
cal expenses and $120,000,000
the amount saved through re
tirement income credit.
Some of the senior citizens
also get special tax benefits
Bt the stale level. In 18 of
the states, according to the re
port, provisions for some sort
of tax exemption or credit
are on the books.
Local Figures
A breakdown of the $352,
300 saved by Jackson coun
ty's plus-65 population re
veals that $229,000 of It came
from the extra personal ex
emption of $600.
Another $66,000 was from
the additional medical deduc
tions and $56,400 from the
credit allowed on retirement
incomes.
The special tax benefits
that have been provided for
the nation's elderly, as well as
other kinds of protection that
are In being or are planned,
underscore the dramatic
chaiiROB Unit have taken place
in a little more than 25 years.
Todny, fewer people arc
left Mull and dry. with no

Kennedy May
Try To Bypass
Committee
Washington (UPB Indica
tions today were that Presi
dent Kennedy probably will
have to bypass the House
Ways and Means Committee
to get his controversial med
ical care bill through Con
gress. And he would face a for
midable task in accomplish
that feat.
A statement by Rep. A. S.
Hcrlong Jr. (D-Fla.) that he
no longer was willing to help
pry the measure from the
House Ways and Means com
mittee dealt a heavy blow to
the bill's chances.
Herlong took the position
last year that he would sup
ply the necessary vote to
bring the bill out of the com'
mittee if the other 24 mem
bers were deadlocked, 12-12
But he told United Press
International that a recent
poll he took had persuaded
him that a majority of his
constituents were opposed to
the plan to finance the pro
gram mrough Social Security.
Herlong was the second
committee Democrat to speak
out against the administration
on the medical care issue,
Chairman Wilbur Mills ID-
Ark.) moved Friday to spike
speculation that he had
thrown his support behind the
program and was moving se
cretly to help pass it.
Mills said he still opposed
the proposal and did not in
tend to permit a new Social
Security bill he is sponsoring
to "be used as a vehicle" for
enactment of the medical care
program.
If he decided to try bypass
ing the ways and means group,
Kennedy could attempt to get
the Senate to attach the medi
cal care measure to another
House-passed bill.
This approach was defeated
by the Senate, 52-48, last year,
but sentiment may have
switched because of election
of new senators. Even if it
won Senute approval, the bill
would have to go back to the
house where Mills' opposition
could be decisive.

Pickets Removed
At Klamath Falls
Klamath Falls -IUPII- Ma-
chlnlsls Union pickets were
removed from the big Weyer
haeuser Co. sawmill plant
here Saturday afternoon, only
hours after a hastily called
strike shut the mill.
The Machinists union, Lo
cal 1043, shut down the mill
at 6 a.m. when the current
contract expired. The union
represents 200 of the 800 em
ployees at the mill.
The company and union
officials met Saturday morn
ing and It was decided to ex
tend the contract into next
week pending further nego
tiations with a federal media
tor. A union spokesman said
workers wanted a 10 per cent
wage increase across the
board and other undisclosed
contract changes.
Arizpe, Mexico - IWli - A
colorful chapter in the history
of Western America came to
a close last week in this sun
baked Mexican village.
In a simple ceremony at the
Cathedral de Nuestra Senora
de la Asuncion, the recently
discovered skeleton of Don
Juan Bautista de Anza, found
er of San Francisco, were
placed in a marble-lined crypt,
marking the final pages nl a
story that began 107 years
ago.
While a group of husky
men lowered the decayed
wooden casket into the four-
foot deep sarcophagus, Padre
Antonio Magallanes declared
to the hushed crowd of wor
shippers that "Arizpe is, and
always will be, the mother of
San Francisco."
In this brief sentence, the
pastor of Ariipo summarized
the origin of the city beside
the Golden Gate.
On October 22, 1775, Cap
tain de Anza left on his epo
chal mission of discovery
from this village 100 miles
south of what is now the Ari
zona border.
Five months later, de Anza
planted the flag of Spain on
the shore of San Francisco
Bay.
A city had been born.
It was a city that would
see the loud and lusty onrush
of "Korty-Nlners," each seek
ing wealth in the streams and
hills of the Sierra Nevada.
It was a city that, would
rock and burn with a devas
tating earthquake in 1906 -
and survive with splendor.
And it was the city that
gave birth. In its own turn, to
the United Nations.
But when de Anza declared
the land to be a part of the
Spanish realm, there was
nothing but brush, trees, sand
and seven hills. The day was
March 27, 1778, 99 days be
fore the Declaration of Inde
pendence was signed in Phil
adelphia.
The stout-hearted captain
returned to Arizpe several Day, the transfer of the bones
months later. As a reward for
his feat (only one person died
during the hazardous trek
from Mexico to San Francis
co) he was made a lieutenant
colonel.
Buried With Full Honors
De Anza died at the age
of 53 in 1788. The soldier-explorer,
a third generation mil
itary man whose grandfather
fought Indians in Mexico, was
buried In the cathedral with
full honors.
The adobe cathedral, which
workers began to build in
1646 and completed in 1756,
underwent a scries of recon
structions and renovations. In
the process, the location of de
Anza's grave was lost.
Last February, workmen
layina a new tile floor for the
edifice accidentally uncovered
three caskets. Padre Magal
lanes, a student of Spanish ex
plorations, voiced the belief
that one of the caskets con
tained the remains of de
Anza.
The priest asked govern
ment officials for assistance
and several days later,
through the intercession of
Gov. Edmund G. Brown oi
California, a three-man team
of scientists from the Univer
sity of California positively
Identified one of the skeletons
as that of de Anza.
Last Thursday, Memorial
took place. Speeches were
made by Mexican officials
and by representatives of the
San Francisco municipal gov
ernment. .
De Anza had his memorial:
a glass-topped marble grave
that would remain for gen
erations to gee.
But he also had another
monument to his remarkable
achievement: the city of San
Francisco.

California Solons
Near Adjournment
Sacramento - turn - The
week of decision arrived in
California's legislature today
as the lawmakers rush-od to
ward a compulsory June 21
adjournment.
As usual, most of the con
troversial subjects remained
to be settled In the final tnree
weeks and the week was
shaping up as the most crucial
of the 193 session.
For Gov. Edmund G.
Brown, entering his second
term in office, it could mean
either victory or defe-.it t.ir
the major parts of his legis
lative program.
The three Issues Brown has
repeatedly identified as his
most wanted for the year were
ready for action the with
holding tax on personal in
come in Assembly ways a-.d
means, and a four-year mor
tarloum on the death penalty
and the fair housing act in the
Senate governmental effic
iency committee.
But also on the Assembly
floor was Brown't least-wanted
bill of the year a meas
ure to increase the state's 6
cents a gallon gasoline tax to
1 cents.
The odds were better than
even that before the week is
out the measure, by Sen. Ran
dolph Collier (D-Yreka), will
be on Brown's desk with Sen
ate and Assembly approval.
