5 Dams Burst.
 Flooding Homes Near Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, NM, R-Three dams on the Gallinas River burst early today, sending an estimated 90 million gallons of water rush. ing thru Las Vegas and flooding homes above and below the city to a depth of to IA feet.
 There was no loss of life re- ported, altho damage to livestock and property was heavy. National Guardsmen and lawmen evacuat- ed hundreds of persons from Riv- erbank homes. The river, swollen by heavy rainfall, was falling as dawn broke this morning.
 Many of the homes had been built along the normally trickling river during the past seven years of drought
 Las Vegas itself, a northcentral New Mexico city of about 14,000 some 50 miles due east of the state capital of Santa Fe, escaped flooding. The river banks held well within the city.
 Northwest of the city in Galli- mas and Montezuma Canyons, where the reservoir dams were located, more than 12 homes were hit by the flash of floodwaters released when the earth fill dams burst under pressure of heavy mountain rains. Water ran three and four feet deep there.

White House Still FavOrs Budget Reform

! WASHINGTON R.The White House said firmly it still favors a budget reform plan despite re- ported objections to it by Secre- tary of Defense Wilson.
 Presidential Press Secretary James c. Hagerty told reporters there seems to have been "a mis- interpretation" in published stor- ies about Wilson's recent testi- mony to House Appropriations Subcommittee
 Wilson was quoted yesterday, when the transcript of a July l hearing was made public, as say ing the budget change would cause "a lot of future trouble" and might disrupt the nation $ defense program.
 Hagerty said he had been in formed, presumably by someone at the Pentagon, that Wilson's criticisms applied to an aspect of Air Force financing and not to a budget change bill recommended by the Hoover Commission and already approved unanimously by the Senate.
 The proposal calls for a new system under which Congress would appropriate each year only funds to be spent during that year. The government would be given authority to sign contracts covering projects of longer dura- tion, but cash would be provided only on year-to-year basis.
 At present, Congress makes ap- propriations to cover both imme- diate spending and needs stretch ing beyond year This leads to carry over of money from one year to the next

Pollution Farley
On Hill Ends
On Vague Note

A Capitol Hill meeting to de-
termine sentiment toward en-
dowing the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin with anti-pollution en-
forcement powers ended on an
indeterminate note yesterday.
Representative Hyde. Repub-
lican of Maryland, who has been
urging such powers for the adj
visory education body, called the
session. He invited the Senators
OF three of the four Potomac
basin States, as well as the Rep
resentatives whose election dis
tricts lie in the watershed and
the District Commissioners.
The only ones. who appeared,
however, were Democratic Rep
resentatives Landlord of Mary
land and Smith of Virginia,
along with Brig. Gen. Thomas
A. Lane. District Engineer Com
missioner.
While all three expressed SYM
pathy with the idea of an inter-
State law enforcement agency
that could make individual jur-
isdictions comply with pollution
abatement orders it might issue,
none was prepared to commit
himself or his constituencies toI
such a plan.
Representative Smith went so |
lar as to say he believes an in
ter-State compact of this nature
IS the only way the stream pollu-
ton problem ultimately will be
solved. He added, however, he
wants to consult the Virginia
State Water Control Board to
get its views. Board Spokesman
in the past have firmly opposed |
Interstate Enforcement powers,
contending the board is pursu-
ing a Statewide abatement pro-
gram under adequate State laws
alone.
In a letter to Mr.. Hyde Sena-
tor Robertson. Democrat of Vir-
GINA, said he supported his
States participation in an inter-
State compact for the Ohio River
Valley and indicated he favors
a similar setup for the Potomac
watershed.
Mr.. Hyde's proposal is that
the Potomac Basin Commissions
member States can, by mutual
agreement. vest the agency with
greater powers. Congress would
be required to approve or dis
approve the agreement.
States rights, consequently.
would not be infringed on. the
Marylander contends.
