 JugOslav Claims
 Free Jugoslav sources claimed that Gen. Josip (Tito) Brozovich's s partisan troops had captured the western part of Zagreb, capital of the puppet state of Croatia, and were enforcing Q virtual Seige of the city.
 The report coincided with Nazl radto dispatches which said the cabinet Of Croatia had quit.
 The partisans were said to have cut the railway from zagreb, city of ls5,000, and Belgrade, for Jugo- slavin capital, and to be waging vic- ious warfare against the Germans elsewhere. Previous reports said they were in control of part of the Dal- matian coast and all the islands off the coast in the Adriatic.

Rivers Center Is
First To Meet
War Fund Quota
have already turn
ed In $3.50 to county
treasurer. Possibly first
in state to meet quota III
campaign.

Japanese Relocation Center at
Rivers is the first place in Pinal
county and possibly in the state Of
Arizona to go over its quota in
the United War Fund campaign.
Paul Loucks, county campaign di-
rector, states they have already
turned in the money for their $3.50
quota to the county treasurer.
In view of the low wage scale
in effect at the center, Loucks
said Thursday the japanese are to
be highly commended for their ef-
forts
The drive is to officially open in
Pinal county November s but al
ready various places are hard at
work raising the necessary money
to meet their quotas. Superior
and Casa Grande started this week
while Coolidge and Florence or
ganizations have already made can
vases of their members to obtain
the money needed. Eloy already
has it's drive well in hand, Loucks
said.
Enlisted personnel of Prisoner
of War camp at Florence turned in
over 1914, an excellent showing,
Loucks states. Last year, about
s34 was obtained at the camp.
Mrs. VIM. R. Elliott, in charge
of the campaign in Coolidge,
states that organizations have eth
er started to raise money or will
start by Monday.
The word from Florence is that
work on the drive is proceeding
excellently, as is the case in Casa
Grande. Richard Fulton is chair
man of the campaign in Florence
and Harry ,Mandell in Casa
Grande.
The county quota is $15,S0O. In
Florence and in Coolidge slightly
more than the regular war fund
quota will be raised to take care
of Boy Scout needs for the COM
ing wear. Thus, Coolidge will
raise $1,000 instead of $4,000, the
regular war fund quota, and Flor
ence will raise $4,000 instead of
$1,000

Buttes Dam
Construction Out
For Duration
Phelps Dodge deals with
Salt River Valley as up
per and lower Gila dis
trict leaders fail to agree.

All hopes for building additional
storage facilities for San Carlos
Irrigation project at Buttes Dam
site in the immediate future went
glimmering with the announcement
Thursday Phelps Dodge Corpora
ton had concluded a deal with
Salt River Valley Water Users AS
sociation to divert water from the
head of Black river to its Morenci
copper processing plant.
Officials of San Carlos Irriga-
ton and Drainage District have
held countless conferences with
officials of Phelps Dodge Corpora
ton, Defense Plant Corporation
and members of the board of di-
rectors of the upper Gila river ir-
rigation district in an effort to
smooth out differences of opin-
ion.
While, according to San Carlos
district officials, the ramifications
of the long, drawn out controversy
involve engineering and financial
technicalities together with the
age-old and constantly disputed
difference of water rights between
upper and lower Gila river water
users, the real bottleneck in the
deal developed when upper ella
water-users sensed an opportunity
to obtain additional water for the
Stafford area.
Originally San Carlos Irrigation
and Drainage officials proposed to
store $4,000 acre feet of water for
upper ella district in return for
their aid in securing federal funds
with which to build a storage dam
on the ella river at Buttes dam
site below the confluence of the
ella and@ San Pedro rivers which
would impound flood waters of the
San Pedro. This deal failed of
fruition as Stafford valley spokes-
men held out for $1,000 acre feet
of storage while San Carlos Off
cials offered to compromise at
21 900 acre feet While negotia-
tors of the two districts reached
an impasse the mining corporation
completed deal with Salt River
Valley Water Users Association a.
greeing to finance construction of
a storage dam above Bartlett Dam
on the Verde river to cost between
11a and two million dollars in ex-
change for permission to divert
$4,000 acre feet annually from the
Black river.
Phelps Dodge Corporation, con-
trary to general belief, has not
been forced to negotiate with Salt
River Water Users Association to
obtain sufficient water supply for
war production of copper. The
mining company is presently pump
ing water from San Francisco riv-
er, tributary of the Gila, upon an
emergency wartime agreement
with both upper and lower ella
water users. The copper COM
panys need for a supply of water
from the Black river is so that
when the need for war production
of copper ends they may continue
to operate and use water as a
peacetime business venture
Members of the board of direc-
tors of San Carlos Irrigation and
Drainage, realizing there was little
chance of reaching an effective

Coolidge Tangles
With Florence
In Annual Classic
Rivalry between t e m
make it game Of season.
Injuries likely to hamper
playing of Bears.

Tonight at Florence, Coolidge
high school Bears tangle with
Florence Gophers in the annual
football classic, always a game
that serves to highlight the entire
football season because of the riv-
airy between the two schools.
The game gets underway at s
O'Clock and although at first glance
the odds might be in favor of
Coolidge. Coach Wilson and his
squad are aware that anything can
happen. For the Gophers. who
lost to Casa Grande, managed TO
tie Chandler and beat Superior.
Coolidge. undefeated this season,
beat all three teams but faces
Florence with respect. The Bears
know that Florence has been
steadily improving and that they
have some hard-hitting and hard
running backs.
In addition, Coolidge meets Flor
ence rather the worse for wear.
Last Fridays game against Chand-
Ter was a costly one as injuries
were received by a number of
players. Davis Will be out of the
Florence game perhaps because of
a sprained ankle. Very likely
Coach Wilson will have Red"
Veazey take his place as fullback.
John Martin and Wayne Elledge
received bruised hands. Martin,
who with Davis was mentioned on
last weeks Sports Review over

quired bandaging before each
game, fact that few spectators

after being knocked out for a short
time when tackled hard by a
Chandler man in Friday nights

The game tonight will have di-
rect bearing on winning of the

ence Coolidge will have to win
tonight to lay undisputed claim 10
the conference title.
