Water Situation
"Getting Worse

Arizona's water situation is get
ting worse, not better, according
to the Central Arizona Project AS
sociation's bulletin issued this week
which gives the following reasons:
In 1916, about 100000 acre-feet
of water was pumped, to supple
ment the surface flow and irrigate
Central Arizona fields. This was
an overdraft of 100000 acre-feet
on Mother Natures underground
water bank.
That was bad. But now take a
look at this:
In 1947, about 2,5OO,0O0 acre
feet of water was pumped. That
was a half-million acre-feet more
than in 1916 and 100000 acre
feet more than the rate of re-
charge.
The statement goes on to say:
"Arizona's present water plight
is not solely the product of peri
odic drought. Some of you might
feel easier if it rained hard, but
the truth is that even a winter of
hard rains and a spring marked by
overflowing reservoirs would not
correct the situation for the pump
areas within Central Arizona
"It might alleviate it for, many
farmers, but it would not correct
it for the Central Arizona Project
area"
It further states:
"Only Colorado River water can
do that.
"At the present rate of over
pumping, Arizona faces agricultur-
al and economic disaster unless
Colorado River water is obtained.
"The only way to obtain it is
through the Central Arizona, PROF
ect, and the only way to obtain
the Central Arizona Project is to
fight for it in Congress this winter
and next spring. What the fight
costs will be chickenfeed compared
to the stake Arizona agriculture
and business haS>in victory.
"Vaud E. Larson, engineer for
Region III of the Reclamation Bu-.
reau, says that his organization
has no statistical estimate of the
1948 situation completed although
they are working on it. However,
he says that he can say, on the ba-
sis of work done thus far, that the
water situation is getting worse. ="
CAPSULED COMMENT
Do You Know that Bridge Can
yon Dam would be located just
above the head of Lake Mead, in
the Grand Canyon. It would rise
TAO feet from bedrock. It would
impound a reservoir holding $780,
900 acre-feet of water. Practically
all of a 67O-foot fall could be util-
lied for generating 100000 kilo-
watts of hydro-electric power, of
which one-third would be trans
mitted to Parker to lift water out
of the Colorado River and into the
Granite Reef Aqueduct. The rest
of the power would be available
for industrial and other purposes
in Arizona, Nevada, and Califor-
mia. Bridge Canyon Dam also would
regulate stream flow into Lake
Mead, thus increasing the average
available power head at Hoover
Dam, and would help in develop
ment of a scenic area in the west
ern end of Grand Canyon National
Park and the eastern end of Hoov-
er Dam Recreation Area.

"Oil Progress Day.
October 18th

On the 18th of October, coil
Progress Day. will be observed
throughout the country. 1t will
mark "a simultaneous activity by
the oil companies of the nation,
large and small, to further inform
the public about the industry's ac-
Movements. Local oil men will car
,ry the brunt of the work. Authori-
tative speakers will be available,
many plants will be open for pub
lie inspection, in some places essay
contests will be held for school
children, and so on.
It is to be hoped that the day
attains its objective. For, of all the
great industries of America, none
has a finer record of essential serv-
ice than oil. It lay at the very
heart of the Allied war effort, and
our enormous superiority in the
quantity and quality of oils avail
able was major factor in speed
ing the victory.
After the war, the industry nat
urally expected that there would
be breathing spell7.a period of
substantially lowered demand. But
the opposite happened. Demand
not only held up, but has actually
exceeded the vast level of war
time. The industry responded to
this by putting into effect an ex-
pansion program, affecting every
phase of production, refining and
distribution.

The committee recently questioned
Bennett -Fey-also known as A.

prices.
The Associated Press quoted Mr.
Reddan three days ago as saying the

Mr.. Reddan said last night that
the written testimony in the COM

in a New York smuggling case.

Mr.. Reddan, whether Bennett-Fey
was present or whether there was a

Bennett-Fey was not there.

Bridges a Communist,
|Ex-Wife Tesfifies
By the Assoeioted Press

SEATTLE, Feb. 6.-The divorced
wife of Harry Bridges told a State
Legislature Committee yesterday the
West Coast Longshoremen's union
leader was a Communist and had
threatened here to keep her from
disclosing the fact.
The former wife, Mrs. Agnes
Bridges, testified that Mr.. Bridges
had a Communist Party member
ship book which he used to hide
under the bathroom linoleum or in
a slit cut above a door in their
San Francisco home. He has denied
Communist Party membership and
won court victory against attempts
to deport him.
Committee Counsel William Hous-
ton said it was the first time Mrs.
Bridges had testified about her for
mer husbands aff1liation.
She appeared as a surprise wit
ness to end the committees nine
day hearing on Un-American Activ-
tiles.
In San Francisco, Mr.. Bridges
issued Monograph statement
charging his divorced wife's testi-
mony was incompetent.
THAT very same statement was
handed to Judge Edward Foley in
the form of an affidavit when I was
granted citizenship, and it was
thrown out by the judge on the
ground that Hell hath no fury like
a woman scorned,'" he said.

Bavarian Minister
Holds Kuhn Escape
Is lnconsequential
BY the Associated Press

MUNICH, Germany, Feb. Cdr.
Josef Mueller, Bavarian Minister of
Justice. brushed off the escape of
Fritz Kuhn as inconsequential today.
He said too many people were i'm
prisoned in Germany for politics
only.
Imprisonment without trial, he
said, is breeding eventual enemies. "
Kuhn, deported leader of the
German American Bund in the
United States, strolled out of the
prison at Dachau Tuesday and
hasn't been seen since. Investiga-
tors have been unable to turnup a
trace of him.
Asked how it was possible for a
man like Kuhn, who has been de-
prived of his American citizenship,
to be in prison awaiting denazifica-
ton since July without a hearing,
Mueller asked the inquiring re-
porters:
who is Kuhn?"
Thousands Held in Jail.
He appeared sincere in a state
ment that he had never heard of
the man. But, Mueller added, the
case of Kuhn is multiplied in Ger
many now.
He refused to estimate how many
thousands are in jail awaiting trial
as Nazis, but declared there are
too many" Such persons, Mueller
added, never would become good
citizens under such conditions.
Concentration camps don't make
believers of democracy nor good
citizens" he declared
He said he believed Germans
should face trial only in what he
called the normal courts. If they
are accused of crimes, he con-
tinued, they should be jailed. If
political questions are involved, they
should be made to pay more taxes.
Other German authorities specu-
lated today that Kuhn might have
fed to the Soviet occupation zone.
They said Kuhn might have
reasoned it would be harder to ex-
tradite him from the Russian Sec
tor than the British or French zones.

German police widened their search
over Western Germany for the man
