BREAKS Up SPEECH
Insult to Blacks Resented by

Washington, Nov. PA senate de-
bate Monday on the recent u~tterances
Of former Premier Clemenceau Of
France took a sensational turn when
a negro wearing the uniform of the
United States army interrupted from
the gallery a speech by Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, ranking democrat of
the foreign relations committee re-
garding alleged atrocities by black
French troops in Germany.
The soldier who said he was Lucius
Jones, a patient at the Mount Alto.
Maryland government hospital finally
was removed from the gallery by the
police after his attempt to join in the
debate had resulted in a sharp passage
of words on the senate floor. Senator
Heflin. democrat, Alabama, led in de-
manding the negro's removal but SEN
ator Hitchcock said he hoped the police
would not interfere.

deliberately lied" said Mr.. Hitchcock,

attendants rushed to his side and
ordered him to be silent.
When Senator Hitchcock concluded,
Senator Helm arose and, his face
aflame, demanded that the negro be

Senator Hitchcock interrupted to

Santa Fe. Nov. 27.-The unanimous

tiers of the Colorado river and its trib-
~utaries is q signal victory for those

Agreement Hopeless
1.-The original contentious of the Z
states were so far part that an
agreement seemed hopeless. But a
discussion of the various needs led to
d closer acquaintance with the facts
and the various points of view, and
the conclusions may be said to award
each claimant more than he expected
in view of the original contentious.
The satisfactory settlement of all
these disputes at small expense within
a year after organization Of the COM

alternative of litigation. The recent

The natural flow of the Colorado

third is now used and this includes the
low water flow in the lower basin.
which cannot further develop safely
without storage. The present users in
the lower basin are about 100000
acre feet. The compact awards this
portion of the basin, u total annual
flow of 100000 acre feet or more
than double its present needs and suf-
ficient to develop all feasible projects
and some of doubtful feasibility. The
upper basin is awarded 1900, 600 acre
feet which is also more than double
its present needs and sufficient to
serve nearly 100000 acres addition
which will be sufficient for all feas- /.
ible projects and some of doubtful
feasibility.
