Brain research has fathomed mys- Water Trial Starts Again SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The Colorado River water suit re sumed today after a three-week recess for what was expected to oe tne final session of the 2-ycar-old trial. Special Master Simon H. Rifkind who is presiding has expressed nope mat the session be conclud ed by Labor Day. It will be de Voted to rebuttal testimony. The U.S. government, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah were to be given an opportunity to present re buttal evidence during the first week. Then, California was sched uled to conclude its case. The river suit, filed in 1952, is a dispute over proper division of the Colorado's flow in its lower basin below Lee's Ferry, Ariz. It was begun by a complaint filed by Arizona against Califor nia in the U.S. Supreme Court. Arizona has advanced contentions in the case which would reduce California's claims of 5.362.000 an nual acre feet of main stream flow by 1,500,000. Most of the current session was expected to be occupied by Cali fornia, which will attempt to re fute recent Arizona charges that California wastes l.sno.oon annual acre feet in the Imperial and Coachclla water districts. Arizona asserts the water is used unnecessarily to wash salts out or the soil. So far, the marathon water trial has filled more than 20,000 pages of transcript and has Included more than 4.000 books, charts and maps as exhibits. It has been estimated that more than five million dollars has boon spent by the parties in preparing their cases. Report Raps Reducing Aids WASHINGTON IAP) - T.ike it from Mouse investigators: If you wnnt to lose weight, eat less. This advice is contained in a strongly worded report saying U. S. consumers are being bilked out of roughly loo million dollars a year for preparations advertised as weight reducers. The report, issued by the House Government Operations Commit tee, put much of the blame on the Federal Trade Commission. It accused the FTC of a 12 year paralysis in cracking down on false advertising claims in the weight reducer field. The report, covering hearings conducted last year by a subcom mittee said: "The advertising of to -called obesity remedies or j choice.

" Army To Aid Rocketeers WASHINGTON (AP) The Army set out today to help ama teur missilemen shoot their rockets without blowing them selves up. ' Headquarters began circulating to all commands instructions for aiding amateur rocket clubs, mis sile and other scientific groups which experiment in rocketry. But in giving help, including use of the Army's test ranges, the Army is taking care that it isn't held liable for accidents. The amateurs must sign waiv ers, agreeing that neither they nor their relatives will try to hold the Army responsible for rocket mis haps, nor bring suit in court. The circular says the Army is setting up the assistance program because many requests for help in rocket firings have, been re ceived from amateur groups and because the Army wants to en courage rocketry. The program will operate under general direc tion of its missile branch. The Army's interest is more than altruistic. lis circular lists, among other reasons, the develop ment of a potential source of man power to utilize in Army missile units and industry in event of emergency. Also, the amateurs might develop something useful to the Army. However. Ihe primary objective is to help save amateur rocketeers from injuring or kill ing themselves and to prevent danger to others, including per sons riding in airplanes. No fir ings under Army supervision will be permitted into airspace used by planes, the regulation says. Obituaries Kl'RTII Frank William Kurth Jr., 68. died here August 10.

N.Y.. engineer. and Michael J. Walsh, 26. Jersey i-iiy. N.J. State police quoted a baggage man on the westbound train as saying, "We were only going about 20 miles an hour slow enough so I could have jumped off anytime wunout getting hurt. The eastbound train, police said was traveling at about 50 miles an hour, according to the best in formation available." A spokesman for the Erie Rail road said the accident occurred when a westbound train, headed for Port Jervis, N.Y.. failed to stop at Suffern station to permit tne eastnound train, bound for Ho boken, N.J., to pass on the, west bound track. According to the spokesman, thel westbound train was supposed to stop at Suffern. about five miles oulh, to permit the eastbound train to use the westbound track because a freight train was run ning on Ihe eastbound track. Thel eastbound train, in turn, was to cross over to its regular track at a point about a mile and a quar ter wesl of Suffern, permitting the wesioound train to resume its run Somehow, however, the west bound train failed to receive its instructions from the Suffern tow er and barrelled through without stopping. it appears to nave been a case of man failure, an Erie spokes man said. He said it had not been determ ined, however, who was to blame. Because of the site at a blind curve neither train was visible to the other until practically the mo ment of impact. ihe trains involved were a four- car passenger train headed from Port Jervis, N.Y., to Iloboken, N.J., and a four-car passenger freight train, bound from Iloboken to Port Jervis. More than 30 ambulances from Rockland and Orange counties in New York and from Bergen Coun ty in New Jersey raced to the scene, along with state police emergency vehicles.
