SENATORS CLASH
AT |. A. HEARING
ON BOULDER DAM
Ashurst Espouses Bridge
Canyon as Location
For Project
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27. - The
hearing being conducted here by the
senate committee OH irrigation and
reclamation regarding development
Of the Colorado river, was eniven-
ed today by a clash between Sena-
tor Ashurst. Arizona and Senator
Key Pittman, Nevada.
Senator Ashurst advocates dam
at Bridge Canyon in preference to
the proposed dam at Boulder Canyon
as provided in the Swing ohnson
bill before congress.
The clash came during the testi-
monv of Shirley c. Ward, head of
the Los Angeles citizens committee
appointed to investigate the Boul-
der dam and aqueduct project.
Ward had testified that "thc Los
Angeles water engineers had in
formed the committee that it would
be necessary to pump water, 100
feet over the mountains in order to
bring it into the city, This would
cost $l00.000,000 and would require
the expenditure of some 200, 900
horsepower a day, it was said.
Quotes Larue Report
Ashurst quoted the report of c. A..
Larue made to the United States
government and termed by the Ari-
zona senator "the most authentic
document on record. Laruc. Ash
urst said, had found that il, the
Boulder dam project was abandoned
and Il dam $50 feet high erected at
Bridge Canyon. Southern California
cities could secure water by gravity
without the expenditure of any
horsepower.
Senator Pittman demanded that
Larue S report be read in full. Pitt
man then read the report, which
said in part:
"The bridge CANYON dam may be
feasible as Il means of bringing
water to Southern California by
gravity
At this point Senator .Ashurst
claimed that "Pittman was :;
smooth lawyer who could pick out
words which changed the meaning
of the whole document.
The crowd. apparently with Pitt
man. laughed the Arizona senator
down and the clash ended with
Chairman McNary. of Oregon, vio-
lently pounding the gavel for order.
Would Purchase Power
Ward then continued his report
giving assurance that Los Angeles
as Il city would purchase all surplus
power manufactured at Boulder
dam if permitted to do so and
pledged the city to Il just share of
payment for the construction of the

BUREAU PROTESTS
ACTION TO RAISE
LETTUCE WEIGHTS
Claim Industry Cannot
Pay Extra Costs on
Shipments

Suspension of the proposed in
crease in the estimated weight on
lettuce shipments from California
to the eastern markets was today
made the subject Of an emphatic
protest to Washington by the I'M
perial County Farm bureau in con-
junction with the California Farm
Bureau federation. Joining in a
request to the interstate commerce
commission are the county farm bu-
reaus of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz,
San Benito, Monterey and Ventura,
and L. c. Lee of FL Centre, and
Fred j. Hart of Salinas.
That the amendment proposed
by the carriers in the above entitled
matter involves an increase in the
cost of.transportat Of nearly 10
per cent on each and every crate
and ear of $ettucc moving from Cali
forniI 10 eastern destinations, is
an argument advanced in the pro-
test.
II is claimed that the new propos-
ed increase Will burden Imperial
Valley with an additional transpor-
tion charge of 100000.
The amendment as outlined by the
carriers called for an increase in the
billing weight of the Brawlcy crate,
previously billed at 20 pounds prior
to March |, and - pounds after
that date, to 9l.6 pounds. The Los
Angeles crate would. according to
Ia, ~
pounds, us against o. pounds prior,
and 20 pounds after, March /. This
increase was requested by the ear
ricrs to become effective Dcccm-
ber |, 1928, and to expire July 2S,
1926, thus taking in the entire In
pcrial Valley season.
Temporary Suspension
Suspension of the proposed in
crease has already been granted by
the interstate commerce commission
until February II, 1926, this sus-
pension having been ordered by that
body ON October II following pro-
test filed by the Pacific Coast
Vegetable Growers and Shippers
Transportation committee.
If the local lettuce industry is to
escape this increase permanently,
however, it will be necessary to
have convincing data as to actual
conditions submitted to the inter
state commerce commission eXamin-
er when Il hearing is held on this
matter, so that permanent Suspen-
sion will follow the temporary one
now in effect, l.. G. Lee, individual
protestant and chairman of the I'M
perial County Farm bureau S rate

The lettuce industry is in no CON
dition to bear this additional in
crease of 10 per cent transportation
cost, protestants assert.
