Arizonas mountain roadWays Mon
day following one of the most Sc
we're rain and snow storms in recent
years.
The storm, striking on Good Fri
day and continuing over Easter
Sunday, caused earthslides at sew
oral places on state highway 10
between Prescott and Flagstaff,
halting the flow of traffic for Sc
hours.
The heaviest snowfall centered in
the triangular area marked by
Prescott, Ash Fork and Flagstaff,
but the highway patrol reported
that all roads in the state had been
cleared and that normal traffic
was now possible everywhere.
Flagstaff bore the brunt of the
snow storm. The fall continued for

Ep0RTER

First Step
It took several days for RR to
get the tears out of his eyes long
enough to relate this one:
Last week when the rains came
again, longest faced individual in
town was legal light Harry Horton.
In between sups of coffee and sor-
rowful looks at the weather he re-
lated:
Month ago I was chortling to
myself:
Harry, you are very smart. You
have held your hay while the rest
were cutting and getting wet. Now
the rain is over and you can cut
and get a good price
So Harry cut an 80 and next clay
it rained.
Week or SO thereafter he cast
a weather eye at the heavens and
decided that all The moisture up
there had come down. He ordered
300 odd acres cut. Next day it
rained.
Last week Harry had them cut
another 80
ut was coming along fine, almost
cured Now look at that rain!'
he wept.
Bob Whitelaw drifted up at that
moment, heard the finale and sug-
gested:
Harry, you better quit the hay
business"
"Quit it, hell said Harry. "The
weather won't even let me get INTO

Bank of America IN San Diego, was
killed instantly in wreck west OF
Seeley Saturday night.
Mrs Minnie Rodkin, SO, Chicago,
died later from injuries suffered in
a collision between a car driven
by her daughter, Miss jeanette Rod
kim 35, and one driven by the dead
mans son, Clyde, 20. Miss Rodkin
and young Yakel suffered critical
injuries and the two automobiles
were reduced to a crumpled tangle
of steel and tin.
After the crash trembling little
Scotty dog crawled from the bloody
Wreckage of the Rodkin car. Drag
ging wounded leg, the terrorized
animal made a pathetic attempt to
reach Mrs. Rodkin who was lying
beside the highway fatally injured.
The dog whined and sank to the
ground where she remained until
officers took her to veterinarian.
Highway Patrolmen Bill Mitchell
and Everett Weatherbie said young
Yakel turned out of his lane of
traffic to pass car occupied by
Camp Seeley soldiers. When he at
tempted to get back into his traffic
lane, his car and the Rodkin car
struck almost head-on and careen-
ed past each other, tearing out
the sides of both machines.
OTHER ACCIDENTS ....-..
In an accident south Of the east
Heber turn, Gentry Lee Mason, 40,
El Centre service station employe
counted himself and his wife and
child fortunate that they suffered
no injuries when a car driven by
Gregorio Rodriguez, 35. Brawley la
borer, drove on the wrong side of
the road and crashed into the Ma
son car Sunday night.
J. Roy Salassi of Ell Centro had
noticed the erratic behavior of the
Rodriguez machine as he drove
along the highway. He followed the
Rodriguez car, which failed to stop
after the accident, obtained the Ii
cense number, and informed po-
lice. Brawley police arrested Rodri-
quez as he entered Brawley.

London was vague as to the point
at which the withdrawal of British
trips in Greece had occurred but
mention of pressure on the eastern
flank, southwest of Salonika, may
indicate the region of retirement.
This report and the Italian claim
to the recapture of Corizza may
indicate that the Greco-British al
lies shortly will be forced to fall
back upon short secondary de-
fense line from Ioannina to Lcrisa,

Pact Won't Alter
American Policy

WASHINGTON, April Ia iUP)
Secretary of State COrdell Hull
said today that the significance
of the new Moscow Tokyo neu-
trality pact could be overesti-
mated" and this country's policy
in the Pacific remains unchang-
ed.
Hull said the pact came rs
"nO surprise" He stressed the
importance Of his comment by
permitting hiself to be quoted di-
dectly.
In response to questions at his
press conference, Hull said:
"The significance Of the pact
between the Soviet Union and
Japan relating to neutrality, as
reported in the press today,
could be Overestimated.
The agreement would seem to
be descriptive of a situation
which has in effect existed be.
tween the two countries for some
time past.

Black indicated that the valleys
credit picture has already changed
materially for the better and that
the chief remaining problem in the
Administrations eye would be drain
age facilities
Flood control, water supply and
readjustment of finances have re-
moved many of the formerly un-
favorable conditions :. :" he wrote.
He described current Investigations
by federal groups as aimed chief
ly at studies of drainage outlets,
use of desilted water and salt con-
centration.
EARLY DECISION HINTED
1T is thought that out of these
Investigations we may reach an
early decision as to our future lend
ing policy" he wrote.
Blacks letter was in answer to
a letter from Hewes, inquiring con-
cerning progress of FCA inquiries.
The bringing of the flood haz-
ard under control through storage
on the Colorado river, the assurance
of an ample and dependable water
supply through the All American
canal. the recent adjustment of
the districts finances and the pro-
visions for power revenues are con-
sidered to have removed many of
the formerly unfavorable condi-
tions . :" he wrote.
However, in order to have a
basis for extending sound credit
service to the farmers in the valley,
we need to acquire better knowl-
edge of the drainage problem, the
means and plans for its solution
and their bearing upon the apprais-
al of individual properties.
DESILTED WATER
Numerous questions have been
raised relative to drainage, especial
ly in certain areas and in connec-
ton with particular types of soils.
The use of desilted water in your
district is rather recent and its
effects upon the drainage problem
and salt concentration have not
been fully determined.
These problems were studied in
preliminary way last fall by a
group of appraisers and engineers
headed by the chief of our appraisal
subdivision 1t is believed that
the problem justifies broader con-
sideration than that of the credit
problem alone. I understand your
district some time ago discussed
with the soil conservation service
the need for comprehensive study
of the drainage of the valley. Ac-
cordingly, a field committee rep
resenting various divisions of the
department has been set up to ar
