SHORTAGE OF
WATER NOT
ANTICIPATED

Encouraging reports from the up
per basin of the Colorado river are
to the effect that 10000 second feet
are recorded in that region, accord
ing to M. ]. Dowd, chief engineer
of the Imperial Irrigation district.
This region is week above
Grand Canyon and the encourag-
ing amount of water will reach the
Yuma section the latter part of next
week.
The Grand Canyon reading to-
days stands at II 300 second feet, a
considerable rise over the last few
days.
Dowd said yesterdays low read
ing occurred on account of check
ing and sluicing at Laguna dam.
The activities there reduced the
amount of water as to measure
ment but large amount was back
ed up ready for valley consumption,
Dowd explained.
The chief engineer said the in
crease reported in the upper basin
was sufficient to carry valley ranch
ers safely through the summer sea-
son.

UNDER COVER
MILEAGE FOR
LEGISLATORS
Members Of Assembly Said To
Be Getting Personal Checks
From Clerk.
SUBTEF(FUGE IS EXPOSED
San Diego Scion Lets Cat Out
Of Bag Revealing Sly Reso-
luton.
BY THOMAS B. MALARKEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


SACRAMENTO, Aug. 10. U.p) -
Passage of sly resolution the last
day of the midsummer legislative
session, by which assemblymen re-
ceived mileage checks to which they
were not legally entitled, stood
completely exposed today.
Assenblyman Bruce Stannard,
San Diego, ''let the cat out of the
bag'-much to the discontinue of
his colleagues.
Stannard received a $3.50 check
from Fred Desch, assistant chief
clerk of the assembly. Desch's let
ter mentioned mileage" and add
ed the money was being sent "pur-
suant to the understanding this
money would be paid you"
The San Diego legislator refused
to accept the check He publicly
declared such disbursements were
probably illegal. AS parting shot,
he said he was recorded voting
AYE" on the appropriation resolu-
ton, when he wasn't even in the
capital
Reports Of a similar attempt to
reimburse senators we're denied by
Joseph Beck, secretary of the SEN
ate. Senator's Roy FELTON,, San
Francisco and w. P. Rich, Marys-
vile, told the United Press they had
received no checks. A resolution
appropriating $2868 for "genreal ex-
penses" was passed in the senate
on The last day of the session.
During hectic closing hours, a
resolution was introduced in the
assembly appropriating $5244. 10.
This sum was tor salaries Of at
taches, clerks and officers, and for
incidentals.
Major portion of this sum has
been diverted for purpose not
specified in the resolution, mileage
expenses for assemblymen, it was
declared. Here's how that hurdle
was cleared, according to a promi-
nent state official:
The money was turned over TO
Desch It was to pay salaries Of
assembly officers. The accounting
to the state controller will purport
to show the money was completely
absorbed in salaries for Desch and
other officers.
Meantime. however, Desch Tor
warded his personal checks to leg
islators-rot state checks-for their
mileage expenses. Thus there Will
be no official record of the fact
the legislators got their mileage.
Legally, Legislators were not en-
titled TO salary or mileage expenses
during the midsummer session I'M
less they voted themselves an ap-
preparation.
Attempts in 10th houses to pass
such appropriations were "howled
down. Righteous lawmakers de-
claimed against the moral right 10
accept money from the state. Ihelr
regular salary had run out during
the spring session. -.
Officers of the assembly and what
few assemblymen we're about, re-
fused to speak for publication.
IJnofficially, however, they admit
ted the resolution was deliberate
subterfuge.
at was an assinine stunt, one
assemblyman remarked, land I told
them so at the time. CIhis as
cemblyman had his mileage checK
in his pocket)
1--WE were entitled 10 mileage. we
should have the moral courage 10
Put through 6 claim bill. NOW
that this subterfuge is out, we're
in hot water"

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 10. U.?)-
The states "baby' MIRA will be-
gin to function actively today after
hectic conference of state Off
Gals in the governor S office blast
ed the program out of an apparent
"dead center.'
The legislature passed the state
recovery bin conforming with fed
eral legislation. Purpose was tc
permit control of such businesses
in California that the federal gov
eminent could not touch.
Frank Mcdonald, state labor
commissioner, declared nothing had
been done since legislative adjourn
ment to undertake the program.
Mcdonald vigorously attacked E. M
Daugherty, corporation commits
sioner, and head of the California
recovery administration. He was
backed up by the governor.
"This recovery program cannot
be sidetracked," Mcdonald assert
ed. cit is too important. He
claimed Daughtery apparently plan
ned to handle the recovery act adj
ministration as side issue.
The meeting became so acrimon-
ious, it was finally declared "exe-
cutive this to bar newspapermer
from printing the interchange q
accusations.
A Pacific statement was issued
at the conclusion. 1t gave assur-
ance that California IS part in the
