Compact Board Makes Stand SACRAMENTO (UP) The California Interatate C o m p a o t Commission Instructed its repre sentatives in Washington late Tues day to protect California rights In the Washoe water project. Membera of the Nevada Inter state Compact Commission, which operates jointly with the California group, immediately replied that the move would "In effect, kill" the bill authorizing the project. State Engineer Harvev O. Banks wired Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel I P. -Calif) earlier asking that the Washoe Project not be operated for other than flood control pur poses until an interstate compact has been negotiated to protect California interests. In yesterday's action, . the Cali fornia commission backed Banks with a resolution asking that the project's operations be subject to a two-state agreement not yet written. The1 project involves the Carson and Truckee rivers which origin ate in California and flow into Nevada. The California commis sion charged that most of the benefits accrue to Nevada and the bills in Congress for the Washoe Project contain no protection of California's Interest in the water. A spokesman for the California group said the Bureau of Recla mation cannot build the Washoe Protect in four years and that certainly a two-state agreement could be written to govern the project in that time.

Mar shall's books have been enormous ly popular, and this one is surely one of the most Interesting. I pick up next, a new title by Erlo Stanley Gardner, "The Case of the Terrified Typist." I know many of you like mystery stories, and that he is one ot your favorite authors. For your enjoyment, you will find several new mystery books on the shelf by various authors. Smiley Blanton's new book, "Love or. Perish" shows Dr. Blanton's theory of how it is necessary to love and to be loved to really live. To quote the blurb, "As the crown ing achievement of a distinguished career, he has written a guide to life which can not help but leave a deep and revealing impression. His intention was a single one to give every man and woman who reads his book a chance for the happi ness that ran be theirs." "Papa Married a Mormon,'" by John D. Fitzgerald Is another fab ulous family story. This is a true story of the old Frontier when Mormons and miners were Strug gling to forge a new life. A heart warming r-'d interesting family life told with understanding and love. FICTION Andersonville, Kantor; Marjorie Mornlngstar, Wouk; Ten North Frederick, O'Hara; Chash McCall.
