India Breaks
Canal Ground

TALKARA JHIL, India, Mar.
81 up. - India has broken
ground for a $l60-million canal
that appears certain to worsen
relations with neighboring PAX
iStan.
In addition to their bitter
fued over control Of the State
of Kashmir. India and Pakistan
have gotten into another inter-
national argument over water
which the canal will divert from
Pakistan to irrigate 31a million
acres Of midas Rajasthan
Desert.
+ Indian Home. Minister M. r.
g. Pant hauled away the first
bucket OF earth to start the
462-mile canal yesterday. It will
take 10 years to build and di-
vert the waters of three rivers
that rist in India and flow into
Pakistan.
The Indian government says
the area to be developed will
produce food and fodder worth
more each year than the total
cost Of the canal. The Indian
government also plans to ex-
tend it eventually to the Indian
Ocean to give a water route
to the sea.
But a large area in Pakistan
now irrigated by the water
which will be diverted-will dry
up unless another source of ir-
rigation can be found.
India has agreed to a World
Bank suggestion that she pay
for new canals. to link the
Western Indus rivers with Paki-
STAINS irrigation system. These
rivers are not involved in the
canal project.
Pakistan rejected this solu-
ton and has warned that she
will consider the shutting of
OF the water as aggression.

postal pay ana rate LEGISLATION
at 2:45 pm. tomorrow. It's the
FIRST meeting OF the conferees,
despite the fact that they were
appointed six weeks ago.
Now that the conference has
finally been scheduled. House
and Senate conferees expressed
optimism that accord on the
postal pay rate legislation can
be achieved within three or four
sessions. The thorniest issue
conferees face Is whether first
class mail rates should be 4 or
5 cents. Once this is settled,
accord on the other rate in
crease features and the amount
OF the postal pay raise Is ex-
pected to be settled quickly.
AS disclosed In this column
last Sunday. the conferees are
leaning toward a fiat 8.5 per
cent pay raise for all postal
workers, plus an added 500
bonus for the bulk of postal
employees, for an overall aver
age raise Of 10 per cent.
Once agreement Is reached
on postal rates and pay. quick
action is scheduled by Congress
on classified employe raises. All
indications point to a classified
employe raise Of about 8.5 per
cent.
APPROvED-The House has
approved and sent to the
Senate q bill allowing District
Of Columbia Government en-
ployes to share in administra-
tive holidays that are ordered
by the President for Federal
employees. The Controller Gen.
eral recently ruled that the
District Commissioners have no
authroity to give their employees
