INTEREST IN COLORADO

The Mexicans' chief interest, Nc
Leaish indicated, is the Colorado.
for years they have been taking
water from the river in Lower Cal
ifornia, feeling they had every right
to do so.
But when we built Boulder Dam,
we shut them off, McLeaish said.
There was some sort of uncer-
standing, however, and they feel
there was an implied promise that
they would be given their share OF
the Colorado"
McLeaish said Texans and MeXi-
cans might be able to work out a
satisfactory agreement on the Rio
Grande out that Mexico wants to
deal not just with the state of Tex
as but with the United States; they
want to settle all their water prob
lens at once
Although California is the chief
opponent of the treaty, McLeaish
said, that state puts no water in
the Colorado; they're only taking
it out"
Californians object to granting
Mexico the treaty-proposed share
of the Colorado, McLeaish contend
ed, because they feel some day they
might want to take all of the water"
Imperial Valley press., 1945-01-25
TERMS SAID JUST

McLeaish said the treaty conces-
sions to Mexico are no more than
Just. Under the proposed agree
ment, l,5o0,00o of the Colorado riv-
er's annual flow of 100000 acre
feet would be alloeated to Mexico,
the remainder to this country. The
treaty also would give this country
co per cent of the Rio Grande'S wa
ter below Ft. Quitman, Texas.
The treaty is necessary. McLeaish
said, to stabilize the flow OF the
Rio Grande and to satisfy the Mex
lean peoples requirements on both
rivers.
Our desire" McLeaish said, "is
the avoio ance of disputes between
the two countries.
Mexico is now diyerting a lot
of water from the Rio Grande. We
are planning to install diversion
works above theirs.
This sort of thing could continue
Indefinitely, one side installing
works above the others. and then
there would be trouble.
The net result is that one side
would destroy one of those works,
and we'd have violence"

THE FIRST INDIAN STATE?
Nations BuSineSs)

There are about as many Indians as there are white folks in Alaska. The per ennial plan to grant statehood to Alaska is up again It includes giving all the right of citizenship to the Indians. The solid Indian vote, plus certain accretlons from the white folks, would make Alas ka the first Indian state.
 That is the contention of many Alas kans.
 They further maintain that Secretary of the Interior Ickes, who is the overlord of Alaska, and his underlord, Governor Ernest Gruening, are showering the ln- dians with favors that are not called for by the book. How will they vote, if and when? This may be one-eyed look at the facts. Congress will want to know. Alaskans here say the Indians are doing better as wards than they could do as voters.

PENICILLIN
Washington Post)

Penicillin has been proved to be truly remarkable boon to mankind. Prop erly administered, it is an efficacious drug for relief from a number of the ills to which the human flesh is heir. How ever, it is not a cure-all. And careless distribution or casual use of it may have extremely unfortunate consequences. Congress was altogether wise, therefore, to bring the manufacture of it under the surveillance of the Pure Food and Drug Administrations surveillance actively sought by the American Pharmaceutical Association and other interested groups in the drug trade.
 Penicillin production is now so plenti- full as to make the drug generally avail able. Indeed, it will probably soon be ob- tainable not only as at present in forms suitable for injection but also in the form of tabelts, ointments and sprays. It is the product of biological, not a chemical, process and is, therefore, subject to good deal of variation in potency. Care less manufacture might turn out patches which would be quite worthless - and which, if relied upon, could prove very dangerous. Under the law recently en- acted, however, the Food and Drug Ad- ministration will certify each batch au-

thorized for sale as to it's safety and eff cacy.
 Pen.cillin is highly selective in action. There are many types ofinfection against which it is useless-the common cold, for example, typhoid fever, food poison ing or tuberculosis. It is efficacious in the treatment of pneumonia; but pneu- monia takes many forms, and each of them requires different dosage. Sale of the drug should be permitted, we believe, only through a doctors prescription least until such time as medical science decides upon some perfectly safe form in which it can be generally used as a specific for certain simple ailments. Dis tribution of this useful medicine should not be allowed to follow the pattern of the vitamin racket.

LUXURY TAXES" STILL EXIST ON SEVERAL ITEMS

Although the fighting is over, "''o~a has been no termination of federal War-ime taxes.
 Pe"orts that price controls have been lifted on some articles sub- iect to the twenty per cent federal excise tax appears to have led to misunderstanding that such tax ation has ceased, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Since these taxes have been referred to as luxury taxes" and "war taxes" some consumers have assumed that the end of the war would bring immediate relief.
 The tax on luggage and the in- creased rates on jewelry, furs and toilet preparations will continue until at least March 1, 1946, un- less Congress terminates them earlier.
 Retailers may collect the tax as a separate item or may include it in the price for which an article is sold, but it is unlawful to offer for sale any article subject to the retail excise tax with the repre- sentation that the tax is not pass ed on to the consumer. Any per- son who makes a statement writ ten or oral, in advertisement or otherwise, intended to lead per- son to believe that the price of the article does not include the tax is subject to penalty.

BLIND WRESTLER
 HEARS" HIS FOES

iP) Features

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-One of the leading candidates for Yale's wrestling team is sandy-haired Bob Russel lof Binghamton, N. Y, who depends on his ears to help him pin his opponents.
 Russell's keen ears substitute for his eyes. He hasn't been able to see since he was five years old "a kindergarten student-when he was struck in the left eye by croquet mallet. In short time he lost the sight of both eyes.
 Solidly-built, strong and deter mined, the 18-year-old Yale jun for smiles as he explains, "you might think I'm trying to kid you, but really I'm sincere when I tell you I can hear my opponents. In this way I can almost tell their every move. For that matter, can actually hear tree"
 Russell received his secondary education at the New York Insti- ute for he Blind and was a stu dent for two years at Hamilton College before he transferred to Yale last fall. When Eddie O'Don- nell, Eli mat coach, issued his call for varsity wrestlers, Bob was among the first to report.
 O'Donnell has been impressed by the 165-pound Russell's grap- ling talents, so much so that the mentor believes Bob is a poten- tial intercollegiate champ. Bob has his work cut out because Gene Smith, team captain, wres- ties at the same weight.
 Bob has no seeing-eye dog, but owns cane. "I don't know why" says Bob, "I never use the dog gone thing"
 In his free time he likes to lis- ten to the radio, go for walks and to the movies. Fishing, too, gives me big thrill," says the husky youth.

Jerome Kern

The prevailing comment Of unsteady in
clined Wilrningtonians since word Of Jerome
Kern's death was received has been, HE was
too young to die. He should have had time
to do the great things he was capable of
doing, given another decade for production -
This view is justifiable on the score that
with every new musical score he seemed on
the point of turning out something that could
outlive his generation perhaps live forever.
AS it is, he leaves one song, "OP Man River, -
the haunting strains of which will linger for
many a year.
Perhaps, if he had been differently situated
in life, if he had been free, from youth on
to cultivate his talent in the classical instead
of the popular field, he would have composed
concertos or symphonies which would have
rated regular performance by great soloists
and orchestras. But this, of course, is mere
speculation. At least he struck a popular
chord, and is to be credited with thankful
ness, for resisting low motifs, and was always
tuneful and respectful toward the finer
standards.

IhLVGN1 1OMOhhOWS FIRE IOUAY
The next few years will constitute an I'M
paralleled opportunity to correct some OF the
reasons for Americas annual four to five
Observation-Disclosures fire loss Hundreds OF
thousands of new homes will be built and
countless thousands Of old homes will be rem.
ovated. The same will be true of industrial
establishments. In the process many fire
hazards can be eliminated cheaply and per-
manently.
The president Of the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters, in urging such action, says:
Spending time and money to eliminate all
kinds of hazards not only results in improved
appearance and greater comfort but also true
economy. If the furnace is put in frst-rate
condition, it will deliver more heat while burn
ing less fuel, in addition to being safer. II the
building has been painted, its rate of deprecia-
ton will be slower and it will be more fire re-
sistive. Insulation in the walls will conserve
fuel and likewise, in case Of fire, check the
spread of flames through the formerly hollow
wall spaces. A new roof preserves the entire
building and lessons the hazard of fire from
flying sparks
Even if certain fire preventive measure do
involve added cost, they are worth while. They
may not only save an investment Of thousands
of dollars, but human life rs well.
Anyone who spends money on construction
or rehabilitation and ignores the elimination
of every possible fire 'azard, is indeed penny
