Sen. Carl Hayden
Denies Water Pact
Charge In Letter
Letter states that no justifi-
cation exists for fear that
+ Mexico will get water
from Arizona stor & e
dams.

"As a practical matter it would
be impossible under any circum-
stances to deliver to Mexico any
quantity of water from either the
Coolidge or Roosevelt Dams" said
Carl Hayden, Arizona's senior U.
S. senator, in a letter read this
week to the house of representa-
tives of the 18th state legislature
as an answer to those water groups
who fear Mexico might get water
from these dams.
Letter Starts Storm
The senator's letter and it's man
ner of reaching the house started
a stormy debate for eighty minutes.
The letter was finally inserted in
the house jouranl with an asso-
ciated press dispatch in which Tom
Connally, Texas senator, revealed
the existence of contract for the
sale of water to Mexico by the I'M
perial Irrigation District.
The dispute in the legislature
began when Leonard Klein of Yava-
pal county claimed the floor on a
point of personal privilege. After
reviewing the background of the
water dispute, he had Rep. Sidney
Kartus of Maricopa identify the
letter from U. s. Senator Carl Hay
den, which had been sent in care
of Kartus. Klein then read the
letter and had it read into the
journal.
Grand Canyon Dams Proposed
An Associated Press dispatch
from Washington, relayed by tele-
phone to the capitol, was later read
to the house by Klein. This dis
patch revealed that the reclama-
ton bureau had completed surveys
for. and proposed to build, two gi-
gantic Colorado river dams above
Grand Canyon.
