Moeurs action in defending Arizona's rights on the

tried to obscure the real issue involved in dispatchng
Arizona National Guardsmen to the Parker dam site

Says the Gazette:
Congressman Golden Of southern California re-
Gently introduced in the house resolution for con-
troll Of the Colorado river and other streams III this
section of the country which he said would prevent
endless and expensive litigation between states and
other communities Coldens resolution calls for crea

and Nevada which>would have full control over water
rights for these three states OF course the question
most in dispute at present is Colorado river wat
er and power rights but with future development
other disputes nights arise.
Golden in presenting his resolution said there
had been many jokes over the "Arizona army and
navy along the Colorado and the enemy forces"
consisting Of guards and workers for the Metropoli-
tan Water district but that this somewhat humorous
aspect covers q real bitterness of feeling.

itv has some advantage The principal apprehension
of Arizona and Nevada under such plan would be
that California would have such preponderance Of
political and financial influence that the two Othe
states would be OvershadoWed."
