Greeks Wait
Truce Answer
NICOSIA. Cyprus AP) The
Creek underground EOKA waited
today to see whether Turkish Cyp
Xiols and British officials would
:accept its offer to halt violence
on this strife-ridden Mediterrane
an island.
; Col. Georce Grivas, EOKA lead
er, announced in leaflets that he
iad ordered attacks on Britons
end Turks stopped in an effort to
end communal violence which has
cost more than 100 lives since
June 7. Five persons died yester
day. But Grivas warned: "If provo
cations by British and Turks con
tinue in any way ... 1 shall be
free to order immediate opera
tions against both of them."
Turkish Cypriot leader Fazil
Kutchuk welcomed Grivas' state
ment and said Turks would "have
no reason to take any action for
self-defense" if EOKA attacks
slop.
There was no official comment
from the British.
It was the third cease-fire in
two years proclaimed by Grivas,
who has led the Greek under
ground's guerrilla war to unite
Cyprus with Greece. I he previous
two truces were scrupulously ob
served.
The Greek Cypriots contend
that the Turkish minority broke
the last truce and started com
munal violence to support their
stand that the two communities
cannot live together. The Turks
demand that the island be parti
tioned if the British pull out.

SACRAMENTO AP) - State
legislators and irrigation districts
have joined the Pacific Gas &
Electric Co. in protesting a Board
of Equalization plan to tax elec
trical power generated at irriga
tion districts' projects.
Assemblyman Gordon H. Win
Ion Jr. iD-Mercedi said .Monday
ihe board would be "circumvent
ing the power of the Legislature
and possibly the people if it
taxed irrigation district property,
"It is such a serious step in a
new direction it is not up to your
board to make it in an adminis
trative decision." Winton said.
Ihe Board of Equalization has
said it will assess the PG&E for
the Tri Dam project on the Stanis
laus River in Tuolumne and Cala
veras counties.
The two irrigation districts
which own Tri Dam the South
San Joaquin and the Oakdale
sell project power to the PG&E
on a long term contract. The

Study Asked
By Senator
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen.
Wayne Morse (D-Ore) said today
Brazilian demonstrations against
Secretary of State Dulles add new
importance to a forthcoming Sen
ate inquiry into U.S. -Latin Amer
ican relations.
Morse, chairman of a Latin-
American subcommittee of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, said the incident at Rio dc
Janeiro shows the need lor a
thorough study of all the forces
at play in U.S.-Latin American
relations.
However, both Morse and Sen
George D. Aiken (R-Vt), another
subcommittee member, cautioned
against exaggerating the signifi
cance of the jeering and whistling
by Brazilian students that greeted
Dulles on his arrival for talks with
President Juscelino Kubitschek
Aiken, expressing belief the stu
dent demonstrators "do not rep
resent the country or the govern
ment," said: "Jeering and whis
tling by students is a popular pas
time, even in our own country
Also there has been a economic
slump in Latin America and the
students are impatient, especially
those who don t know where jobs
are coming from and they have

$12,500 or another house which
she can rent for the same amount
of money.
Mrs. Pucket was joined Mori
day by her 23-year-old son, Ross,
who set up a cot and joined his
mother, newsmen and spectators
in staring at the road crews.
Meanwhile, hack at the State
Division of Highways, the top
kick, attorney George Hadley,
prepared a writ of assistance for
signature by Superior Judge Clyde
C. Triplett.
When signed, sheriffs deputies
will be asked to go on over to
Mrs. Pucket s and take possession
of her little old house, regardless
of her telescopic 30-30 rifle.
There didn t figure to be

effect a lease on the Tri Dam
property, and thus the company
has a taxable interest in the proj
ect.
PG&E argues that since it
neither owns, operates for main
tains the project, but merely buys
power, it has no taxable interest
in Tri Dam. A PG&E spokesman
said the assessment would total
between $200,000 and $250,000 a
year. The company buys about
two million dollars worth ol pow
er a year.
PG&E attorney Malcolm H
Furbush said taxation of the Tri
Dam project and others like it
would cause the cost of water to
soar so high if the projects can
be built at all that not only will
water development in California
be jeopardized but a painful blow-
struck at the states farmers and
their continually growing de
mands for water."
Sen. James A. Cobey (D-Mer-
ced), representing the Merced Ir-
igation District, told the board
his district has earned 40 per cent
of its total income since 1925 from
he sale of power, and that the in
come is needed for improvements
and new projects.
The result, he said, has been a
lower price for irrigation water
to farmers.
Sen. Richard H. Dowlwig (R
Redwood City' said the new tax
could have "far reaching effects
on all the people of the state.
The tax would become part of the
utilities' rate base and would re
quest in higher rates, he said.
P. J. Mmasian, attorney lor tne
Oroville-Wyardotte Irrigation Dis
trict, was one of seven irrigation
district representatives who spoke
against the tax. All said power
revenue is essential to irrigation
projects.
Mmasian asked if tne Board al
so proposed lo tax irrigators, say
ing:
"1 the PG&E has a possessory
interest in these projects then so
docs every irrigator who buys
water.

No, he admitted finally. Who
