Ruse Charged
To Mexico

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. CUP) -
Assistant Attorney General Arvin
Shaw of California charged Satur-
day that Mexico deliberately in
creased her use of Colorado river
water in the last two years in order
TO strengthen her bargaining pos
ition with the United States on the
pending water treaty
Shaw told the senate foreign rela-
tions committee that Mexico ''has
encouraged a very rapid develop
ment in the last two years"
The Mexican government has
quickly rushed in to grab the water
which has come down to them
from Boulder DAM" Shaw declared
1T now becomes a question OF stop
ping something in which we have
been taken advantage of by Mex
ico.'
The committee of IL, represent
ing seven Colorado basin states, re-
peatedly asked the state department
to notify Mexico that she was US
ing the water at her own risk, Shaw
said.
However he said, "our diplo-
matte representatives. for som e
reason it is impossible to under
stand, refused to do So"
In response to question by Sena-
tor Eugene d. Millikin, tR), Colo
rado, concerning the amount of
water Mexico is using now, Shaw
gave the figure as 100000 acre
feet annually.

Sergeant Hess
Returns From

After "a months in the Burma
India area, Sergeant Lyle Hess is
reacy to go to the Pacific area Ito

said Saturday while spending leave
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. ".
Hess OF El Centre.
Sergeant Hess arrived home Fri
day and after 81 days will report
at Santa Ana air base for reaSSign-
ment. He is wearing a battle star
for a mission in Burma.
Il had to come home to see Major
R. F.. Bolenbaker," Sergeant Hess
sai6. He used to arrive by plane
at my base in Burma but I never
did get to see him." Major Bolen-
baker recently arrived in FL Centre
on leave after long service with the
army veterinary corps in the
Burma-India region.
Hess described the jungles to his
friends with particular reference to
a type of black and yellow snake
with bite which is said to be fatal
in 80 seconds. He told about see
ing elephants and going deer-hunt-
ing. Hess doesn't care much for
jungles.
One of the most amusing things
he saw was British officers who had
served in the cavalry clinging to
tradition by wearing boots and spurs
and carrying saddles in tanks.
He attended school in El Centre
ana before entering the service,
he was employed in the mechanical
shops at Irrigation District head

More Advice
Stop being sentimental over the
marines, was the advice given RR
by a servicemans wife.
She said she had spent two days
of her time and a lot of persuasion
finding a marine couple living quar-
ters. I tcld them 1 had found a
place for them and invited them to
dinner the night they were to con-
fer with their proSpectl, G landlady.
That couple was two and half
hours late for dinner, having spent
much time in bar. tried to keep
the landlady interested in letting
the couple live at her place. After
three telephone calls, the prospec-
tive landlady said, People who nei-
ther phcne nor appear on time for
dinner would never be good ten
ants"
We don't blame those two women
for turning thumbs down on the
whole deal.

SNOW E STILL IN GOOD SHAPE
 FOR WEEKEND

Weekly snow report of the Ju- neau Ski Club discloses plenty of good skiing still available for this week end. Skiers who climbed to the Second Meadow late Friday say the Slalom hill is packed and in fair shape.
 Meanwhile, snow conditions in the Upper Ski Bowl remain very good, with sport at the higher levels en- hanced by continuing sunshine. Skiing has been very good on the ridges above the Upper Cabin for the past two weeks and recnt in- dications forecast improvement of sliding surfaces in that area, if any change
 The Outdoor Committee of the Juneau Ski Club has requested ski addicts of Gastineau Channel to save Sunday, April 8, for a big program at the Second Meadow. The Junior Races and other spe- cial attractions scheduled for this week have been put over until the later date, when the Committee says, the day will be well filled with races for Juniors and Girls, a special feed and one very special event that is being kept a deep, dark secret for the nonce.

COMMUNICATION


 The Editor of the Enpire.--I am glad to zee that the pressure of public opinicn finally brought to a head the rights of the citizens of Juneau to express their thoughts concerning the city management form of government Having lived under the city manager form of government for a number of years at Lynchburg, Virginia, it is my sincere belief that this is the most efficient and economical type of city government.
