Action Nullifies Swing
johnson Boulder Canyon
Dam Bill.

Congressional Delegat ION
Told OF Compact Re-
scissiOn.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 49,
R)--With but one dissenting vote, the
lower house of the Utah state 1egisla-
ture this afternoon passed the Auer-
bach bill resembling Utah's ratifica-
tion of the six-state Colorado river
compact The measure now goes to
Gov. George H Dern for his approval.
1t was announced at the capitol that
the governor would sign the measure
as soon as it reached his office.
This action by Utah completely null
lifies the Swing Johnson Boulder can
yon dam bill now pending in congress.
The measure was predicated upon the
six state compact and California's rati-
fication OF this pact was made with
the reservation that the bill now
pending in congress be enacted in it's
present form.
arizona was not included in the six
state pact, but way was left open
for her to join the other states in the
Colorado river basin developments
should she so desire. Utah still has a
ratification of the seven-state pact on
the statute books, but this measure
contemplated ratificatbn by all the
states within the colorado river drain
age area Arizona never has approved
this measure or the one rescinded by
Utah today.
Just before the bill came up in the
house here today a telegram signed
blythe Utah delegation In congress was
read in which immediate resembling of
Utah's endorsement of the six-state
pact was urged. The action was taken
Is minutes after the house convened.
Eight amendments to the. present
Swing johnson bill will be asked by
the state of Utah. At least one of
these is contingent upon the outcome
OF suit now pending in the United
States courts. Another has to do with
the rights of Mexico in the waters of
the Colorado river. The other affects
the upper basin states and their rights
to the waters originating within their
borders, or are contingent upon power
and other development of the river
