WATER TREATY:
NeighbOrly Act

In what President Truman hailed
as a constructive, b~usiness-like pro.
posal undertaken in a neighborly
spirit, the U. S. senate ratified the
controversial treaty dividing waters
of the Colorado and Rio Grande riv-
r between this country and
Mexico.
Under provisions of the treaty,
the U. S. guarantees Mexico 1,500,-
600 + feet of water annually
from the Colorado river, except in
times of extraordinary drouth when
the supply may be cut, and also
agrees to divide waters in the Rio
Grande below Fort Quitman, Texas.
about equally. In addition, the two
nations will make a study of prob
lens arising from the flow of the
Tijuana river from Mexico into
southern California, including flood
control and conservation.
Though California and Nevada
congressman attacked the treaty as
harmful to domestic users of the
Colorado river waters, other west
err senators acclaimed it as neces-
sary for orderly development of
both the Colorado and Rio Grande
basins.

U. 5. Seeks 10 Attach
0berIin Carter Estate

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-The Govern
ment filed $233, 1876 claim yesterday
against the estate of Oberlin M
Carter, who died in 1914 at SO, after
fighting for As years to clear his
name of an Army court-martial
conviction of fraud.
John P. Lulinski, assistant United
States attorney, said it represented
the unpaid increment of the alleged
shortage in Army engineering con-
tract funds of which Mr.. Carter
was accused. The official said the
remainder of more than $400, ,000
was collected by the Government in
suits from 1910 to 1915.
The Carter estate was figured at
$105,760 in an inheritance tax ap-
praisal filed last June.
In 1899, Capt. Carter, who had
directed a $3,5OO,O00 engineering
project at Savannah, Ga, was con-
victed by court-martial on a charge
of defrauding the Government in
letting contracts. He was dismissed
from the Army, fined 5000 and
confined at hard labor in Leaven-
worth for five years.
Mr.. Carter contended his convic-
ton was on trumped-up evidence
and resulted from political enmity
toward him. He carried his fight
for vindication into Federal courts
27 times, to the Supreme Court four
times and repeatedly to the Con-
gress.
In 1889, a House committee voted
to invalidate the conviction, but he
died before the Senate took action

|WPb Lifts Controls
From Use Of Copper,
Steel and Aluminium

The War Production Board today
"unfroze" vast quantities OF steel,
copper and aluminium for civilian
production.
This was achieved by the cancel
lation Of almost all allotments Of
these metals, along with preference
ratings assigned by the Army, Navy
and Maritime Commission.
The only ratings left on the books
were NM military and AAA, used
only for emergencies.
The action almost eliminated the
controlled materials plan, in effect
for more than two years, under
which WPB regulated the use of
the three metals.
The WPB said the move resulted
tremendous military cut-backs'
and desire by the agency to get
industry back on a system of un-
rated orders as fast as possible.
The agency also removed distribu-
ton controls over plumbing, heating
duu CoOhlliS cQulPIuCilI.
Meanwhile, the Petroleum Admin
istration for War lifted restrictions
on the fanufacture of high-test
gasoline, opening the way for return
of prewar quality motor fuel, and
OPA suspended price controls for
wines and imported dis
titled spirits, except whiskys, when
sold in bulk or bottled.
In another action the Office of
Defense Transportation announced
relaxation Of controls on group
travel for Business purposes, the op-
erations of travel agencies and the
use OF sightseeing and charter buses.

With regard to the provisions of

OF Bulgaria, and having in mind the
elections now scheduled to be held
there on August 26, 1945, the de-

government the following views of
the United States Government:
THE United States Government
has been desirious of recognizing
and establishing diplomatic rela-
tions with provisional Bulgarian
government which would be repre-
sentative of all important elements
of democratic opinion and which
would arrange for free and untram-
meled elections under conditions
which would safeguard the free ex-
preston of political views and the
free exercise Of political rights.

'The information available to the
United States Government has not
satisfied it that the existing provi-

quately representative of the i'm

opinion or that the existing gov
ernment has arranged for the

under conditions which will allow

ton therein free from the fear of
force and intimidation, of all demo-

I'm the opinion of the United

participation of all important demo-
cratic elements in the forthcoming

conclusion Of a peace treaty with a
