 BRIEF IN DIVERSION
State Attacks Special Masters
 Recommendations About Rivers

Washington, Dec. 16 LP-Connec- preme court d brief attacking rec concentrations of a special master who reported it's water dispute with Massachusetts.
 The master had recommended against an injunction asked by Con- necticut to restrain Massachusetts from taking water from the Swift and Ware rivers. tributaries of the Connecticut river.
 The report said Massachusetts leg islation confined itself 10 the taking of water from the Swift and Ware and that Massachusetts says she intends to divert no more water than the secretary of war permits and in every way to follow the con- ditions he imposes
 Connecticut replied there was no indication Massachusetts intended to restrict itself to war department sug- Gostions and that the latter state, in fact. had argued that the depart ment had no jurisdiction over the di- version.
 Origin of Fight
 The controversy, which is still be- fore the court. arose over the pro- posed diversion of water from the Swift and Ware by Massachusetts for use in the metropolitan district Of Boston.
 Connecticut argued the diversion would injurc her power interests, agriculture and fish life and that Massachusetts can get the water she needs from the eastern part of her state.
