Arizona Wins One Decision But
 Loses Another in Case
DENY REQUEST ON FUNDS
Initial Work On Construction Ex- pected to Get Under way Without Delay Despite Litigation-Permis- sion Granted to Sue States.

Washington, Oct. 13 Pi-Two im- portant decisions affecting Arizona's fight to prevent the construction of Hoover dam on the Colorado river were handed down today - one against the state and the other in her favor.
 Shortly after announcement of a decision by Comptroller General McCarl declining Arizona's request that funds for the dams construc- ton be held up, the supreme court granted the state permission to test by suit the validity of the congress sional act and Colorado river state compact under which the project is being built.
 Meanwhile, initial work of con- struction is expected to proceed without delay.
 Secretary Wilbur announced Mo Carl's decision which said there ap- peared to be nothing presented by Arizona requiring or justifying a holding up of funds for construc- ton.
 The request to test the law under which the dam at Black Canyon is to be built was filed by K. Berry Peterson, attorney general of Arizona. The suit is expected to be filed against Secretary Wilbur and the states on the Colorado river in- terested in the project. May Bring Suit
 Arizona was granted permission by the supreme court to bring suit against the states interested in the construction of Hoover dam and against Secretary Wilbur to test the validity of the act of congress and the compact between the states un- der which the dam is being con- structed.
 The request was submitted by K. Berry Peterson, attorney general of Arizona who headed the court ap- peal in the statement of the states position.
 Arizona contended that both the santa Fe compact ana the congress sional action under which the gov ernment has undertaken the con- struction of the dam constitutes an invasion of its rights. It takes the position that it will not receive un- der the plan adopted it's fair share of the hydro-electric power from the dam nor the water from the Colorado river to which it is en- titled.
 Request Declined

SHORT WAVE RADIO
 PLANNED FOR TRAINS
No More Red Flags and Lanterns Needed in
 Transportation

Washington, Oct. 13 R-Red flags and swinging lanterns no long, CT need be relied upon to keep the engineer and conductor of freight train in communication. Short wave radio is ready to take over the job.
 Today the American Railway as- sociation announced that several years of experimental work have yielded suitable apparatus for main taining practical, constant communi- cation between caboose and locomo- tive.
 The associations experts have found it practicable also to use radio in the big switching yards where cars are made up into trains. They are going further afield now, studying the possibilities of using short wave sets in New York harbor between shore stations and tug boats and other craft used in rail- way service.
 Until now the crews at either end of the often-mile long freights have had difficulties in exchanging im- portant information and signals, especially in bad weather or on curves. The radio sets are expected not only to increase safety but to eliminate many delays 4.
