THE GTLA PROJECT
BATTLE IN CONGRESS-

The United States house of represen-
tatlves, so long bitterly opposed to anv
ALLEGATION for further DEVELOPMENT of
the ella irrigation project adjacent to
the Colorado river in Arizona. at last
seems about to agree that at least $780,
600 shall be allotted. Compared to the
original $1,250,000 proposed allotment.
the sum might as we'll be nothing.
If Arizona's welfare were the only
stake in the matter. no other state could
complain. In this particular instance.
however, some of the other Colorado
river basin states msSht be regarded as
dong themselves an irreparable injury
by behind-the-scenes opposition to the
Gila allotment.
There is little doubt that a lot of the
opposition to the Gila allotment is in
splred by Arizona's own stubborn refusal
to ratlty the Santa Fe compact, and by
the Baby States continued shining
against any other state which attempts
to make use of the waters of the Colo
RADIO river. Arizona's dog-in-the-manger
attitude has done the thing which such
attitudes usually do, whether to states,
governments or individuals. 1t has re-
suited IN a severe loss.
Arizona's refusal to ratify the Colo
rado river compact, and Arizona's con-
tlnued attitude of resistance to develop
ment anywhere else but in Arizona, are
beside the point in the matter at hand
however
The greater point is this-that the
United States must establish priority
rights to Colorado river water. or that
share of it needed for development in
this country, before Mexico establishes
such rights.
AS time goes on, the territory near
Yuma, not to mention our own Imperial
Valley, will require more and more wa
ter from the Colorado. Unless our claim
to a minimum amount is established be-
fore Mexico begins widespread develop
ment, we are in danger of a shortage.
If ever there was time to forget
politics and prejudice in Colorado river
affairs, this is the time.

Green Giues LelUis a Break Sup
port for CIO Strikes And Break
up of the AFOL

WASHINGTON.-Presiden William Green's
assurance that rank and file members of A. F.
of L. unions will be permitted to support C1O
strikes if they so desire is interpreted by ClO
leaders a big break for the Lewis group.
Some of the CIO people optimistcally predict
that a by-product of the pronunciamento Will
be an acceleration OF the disintegration of A.
F. of L., which they fondly expect.
Lewis also has promised to support A. F. of
L. strikes. But most big strikes have been CIO
strikes in newly organized territory and if the
Green statement means added support from A.
F. OF L. affiliates, C1O anticipates, the Lewis
organization will be the chief beneficiary.
Attention, Washington editorS!" shouted a
famous radio voice as Congressman and Mrs.
Maury Maverick entered the home OF some
friends
The voice went on to say that the daughter
of Congressman John NJ. Houston of Texas, and
Maury Maverick, Jry would soon announce their
engagement.
Well the Washington editors picked up the
tip all right They learned that Maury, Jr.,
was 16 years old and it seemed a news photo
grapher had persuaded him to be photographed
with Patricia Houston who is Is. That's the
only time Patricia and young Maury ever saw
each other. Further, says the young mans
mother, lovely Mrs Terrell Maverick:
Il can't even persuade him to call her up,
go to see her or to bestir himself in the drec-
ton of any other girl"
So many stories from the RooSeVelt-DuPont
wedding have gone into circulation that pub
Usher could almost make a book of them.
With the exception of Ethel DuPont-now
Roosevelt-members of the Du Pont family
just as sour the President ever. Ethel has
defended her now father-in-law in arguments
with other DuPonts, at least once to the point
of tears.
Mrs c. Porter Schutt, Ethel DnPonts cousin,
nearly collapsed when secret service men came
around to test out her chairs in advance of the
Presidents arrival. Her chairs antiques, some
of them fragile. The secret service men lifted
them high and pounded them down on the floor
until at one point she screamed in vain You
get out of here"
The visitors kept on testing chairs until final
~ one announced
THE President will sit in this chair"
One Washington correspondent who covered
the wedding insists the gate where telegraph
messenger boys had to wait for copy was nearly
mile away. Anyway, it seemed like that in
the pouring rain. SO he asked permission to
telephone from the house and got it.
Half way through his report he felt tap
the shoulder and a DUPONT servant added:
Are you sending that message collect? sir?"
The newspaperman gave emphatic assurances
He told
"You see, sir, we've had almost 1000 guests
here today and the master gave us instructions
TO be very sure none of them charged long dis
tance calls to him."

A PLEA FOR TRUTH
IN LETTER WRITING

Dear Editor" says a correspondent
and then proceeds to pen words and
phrases which indicate beyond any pos
sible doubt that he considers the editor
anything but dear"
We have been guilty of the same mis-
statement in letters written to Dear
Mr.. So-and-so." All of us at one time
or another have set down in writing the
word that we seldom use, except to init
mates, in actual conversation. 1t isn't
hypocrisy-it's just habit.
Man clings to queer, outmoded habits
and phrases of by-gone day almost
without knowing it.
Yet there remains the question if,
when we begin a letter with Dear
Mr., we are not putting a mental
brake on our own possible outbursts,
which otherwise might allow our tenn
pers to run away with us.
It's just an idle summer thought
not something we intend to do anything
about.

Removing the Fever from Public Crisis

For several days recently, the
newsreel pictures of the Memorial
Day clash between steel strikers
and police at South Chicago be-
came a celebrated cause for the
newsreel owners, senate investi-
eating committee. and some sec
tions of the public at large.
This little drama unfolded when
the newsreel firm decided as a
matter of public policy. not to re-
lease the pictures. Then the La
Toilette Civil Liberties committee
ordered a showing for it's own
benefit. And finally, certain groups
of self-appointed public defenders
began calling for general exhibit
ton of the scenes all over the coun-
try.
The outcome was that all OF
them. in turn, had their way. And
eventually, the pictures did go into
the theaters. What happened then
is significant for the lesson it con-
veys to impulsive go-getters on
both sides of the labor-industry
fence.
