G.-Controversial features of thd
Swing ohnson bill, passed over yes1
terday, were taken up today a. con
ferecs of California, Arizona and
Nevada met here in an effort to
make a tri-state compact that will
adjust differences among the states 4
and speed the construction Of
Boulder dam.
Newspapermen were admitted I'd
the meeting, after the Utah dele1
CATION had insisted that secrecy in
proceedings would not aid the con1
fe%eos in getting together ON com
pact.
William J. Donovan, representing
the government, ,lid the eonferees
had agreed that at today's session
any member might ask questions. As
chairman of the meeting, Donovan
said he would read any questions
submitted By delegates who did not
want their identity known.
Earl G. Pound and John L. Bacon,
of California, denied published re
ports that California had agreed
that under the Swing-J ohnson bill
the waters of the ella river were
not subject to the negotiation OF
the conference.
At yesterday afternoons sessiot
John Mason Ross of AIiZons}
brought up the question as to wha|
reimbursement Arizona and Nevad}
would receive from the revenue OF
the Boulder dam after it had beef
built and paid for. Under the pro
