In U. 5. Condemns
Siepinac Sentence

The National Catholic Welfare
Conference issued a formal resolu-
ton today declaring the sentencing
OF Archbishop Stepinac of Zagreh
to 16 years at hard labor by Yugo-
slav court was an outrage to justice
meriting "the condemnation OF all
Americans"
The conference, made up Of more
than lis archbishops and bishops Of
the United States, Is meeting at
Catholic University.
The resolution said: =
@The condemnation OF Archbishop
Stepinac, by prejudiced court, has
shocked the sense of justice OF the
American people. The record Of the
life and activities Of Archbishop
Stepinac demonstrate his constant
opposition to fascism and Naziism,
his interest in the rights OF ortho-
dox and Jewish minorities in Cro-
alta, and his support of everything
tending to promote the welfare Of
his own people.
Under such circumstances, to
sentence him to 16 years of hard
labor because Of his public opposi-
ton to atheistic Communism is to
outrage justice and merits the con-
demnation of all Americans"
Among those attending the con-
ference are the four American car
dinals, Cardinal Dougherty. arch
bishop Of Philadelphia; Cardinal
Mooney. archbishop OF Detroit;
Cardinal Stritch, archbishop of Chi
cago. and Cardinal Spellman, arch
bishop Of New York.

Bureau Of the French Communist
Party demanded today that Com

Fourth Republic and called on the
Socialists to join the Communists In
forming leftist government

as foreign affairs. the War Ministry
and police. The Socialists previously
have declared themselves against .
leftist front cabinet.

ing organ Of the Communist Party,
declared itself conscious cf its re-
sponsibiiity and ready to assume all
the charges which result from it's
position as the first party of France"

bureaus first meeting since last
Sundays elections which made the
Communists the largest single party
in the new Assembly, called for close
collaboration with all republicans
in a social, laical and democratic
policy"
Georges Bidault, President, Pre-
mfer and Foreign Minister of the
present provisional government, de-
cided yesterday to tender the resig-
nation OF his cabinet as soon as the
new Assembly is organized, Novem-

sional government, or Jacques Du-

Extension Of Avenue
through GaIIinger
Grounds Opposed

Revival Of the plan to extend
Massachusetts, avenue through the
grounds Of Gallinger Hospital to
connect with proposed bridge over
the Anacostia River, has met with
stin opposition by the District
health authorities.
The plan has been dormant since
before the war, but with postwar
planning 1t again has been placed
on the list Of things to be done in
the near future. Although District
health authorities have been aware
OF the plan and have postponed new
buildings accordingly, they were Of
the opinion that the proposed ex-
tension was something for the dis
tant future.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger. acting
health officer. conferred with the
planning oficials several days ago
and voiced his opposition. He said
the extension would bisect the
hospital grounds and open the
grounds to commercial traffic with
attendent noise and gasoline fumes
that would be harmful to the pa
tients of the hospital. DR.. Seek
niger says he Is hopeful that some
other way Of using streets on both
sides Of the hospital grounds could
be worked out.
Health officials said they are plan
ming to build laboratory and q
pediatric building as a start to a
building program for the enlarge
ment Of the hospital, which is on
its way to become one Of the out
standing institutions in the coun-
try. After these two buildings are
completed q psychiatric building
will be erected. There is also need
for building for crippled children,
an out-patient clinic, an admin
istration building and building to
house the hospital staff.
DR.. Seckinger said the District
now has an investment Of So, 600 900
in buildings on the grounds.

Before Senator'S
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 14.-Cam-
paign strategists for Brig. Gen. D..
John Markey said today they would
carry to the United States Senate
their contention that Gen. Markey
was elected over Gov. O'Conor,
Democrat. in Maryland's senatorial
election.
They said their case would be
based on the belief that election
judges over the State wrongfully
had thrown out about 5000 bal
lots
A statement issued by William c.
Purnell. one of Gen. Markey's cam
paign managers, said counsel had
been retained to present the case to
the Senate, and added: Numerous
charges Of irregularities and pos
sible fraud have reached Markey's
headquarters. These require care
full investigation, and such iinvesti-
cation will be made.
I. II the charges are substantiated
these also viii be presented to the
Senate.
= Markey- Refuses 10 Concede.
Markey does not concede the
election Of Gov. O'Conor and win
challenge before the United States
Senate the correctness of the count
Of the votes cast"
Mr.Purnell also said:
ut has been found that the elec-
ton boards apparently did not keep
a record of the number of rejected
paper ballots, and no accurate total
has therefore been ascertainable.
Many Demands for Contest.
ut Is estimated, however, based
on figures obtained from various
scattered precincts, that there are
possibly 5000 ballots which were
not counted, despite the fact that
the reason for rejecting them may
have had no relation at all to the
CORRECTNESS sof the voters choice for
United States Senator.

Phelps Dodge Pays Project $275,000
Mining Company Compensates For Water
Taken From GiIa River For Huge War;
Time Morenci Plant.

the copper company was entitled to
divert. This was particularly true
during the war period when Phelps
Dodge produced great quantities of
essential war materials. Because of
the strategic necessity for full op-
Grafton during that period, the
company was permitted to take
from the stream such water as was
necessary to operate on a capacity
basis, on authority of the Secretary
OF War, who requisitioned the
water regardless of other rights.
Diversions made at Morenci varied
from day TO day with the operation
of the plant and ranged from a
flow of one or two cubic feet per
second to a maximum of approx
mately IA cubic feet per second. A
portion of the water so taken be-
longed to the Gila Valley Irriga-
ton District in the Stafford valley
and to the San Carlos Project in
terests below Coolidge Dam.
settlement was reached between
PhelpsDodge Corporation and rep
resentatives of the Stafford valley
district early in 1945 covering the
claims OF the Stafford valley inter-
ests. Unlike the Stafford agreement,
which covers the future taking of
water at Morenci by Phelps-Dodge
as well as past diversions, the set
tlement of the San Carlos Project
claims yields none of the San Car
los water rights, settlement being
made only for such claims as re-
suited from the taking of project
water prior to May 1, 1916
Payment of the $275. 100000 has
been made to the United States
to be held in a special fund pend
ing determination by the secretary
of the interior of it's proper disposi-
ton.
This agreement was negotiated
on December 81, 1945, the parties
being Phelps-Dodge Corporation
and the United States for the San
Carlos Federal Irrigation Project.
Those actively in charge of negotia-
tions for Phelps-Ddge were William
A. Evans of Ellinwood and Ross,
Phoenix attorneys and B. G.
Thompson of Knapp. Boyle and
Thompson, attorneys, of Tucson.
Project interests were represented
and approvals were given by the
Pima-Maricopa Community Council,
acting in behalf of the Indian
Lands of the project and the board
of directors of the San Carlos Irri-
CATION and Drainage District rep
resenting the district lands within

district counsel for the Indian Serv-
ice, Los Angeles, named by the
secretary of the interior as nego-
tiator for the Indian office and
department of the interior, actively
represented the interests of the In
dians and the United States during
the period of the negotiations. Dis
trict interests were represented by

Leon M. Novel;, j. A. Roberts and
