Senate Approves
Fines By Mail

SANTA FEE CUPID - The bill
to allow payment of highway traf-
fic fines by mail passed the Sen
ate 23-9 today after an hour Of
bitter debate.
Sen Al MontOya, D -SandOval,
charged the plan was an attack
on the whole state court system,
starting with the justices of the
peace.
i worked under this system;
actually it is the fix-it SYSTEM -
Sen. George D. Amaya, D-McKin-
ley said. He was a former state
patrolman in Colorado, which has
similar law.
The law probably will do away
with some of our JP's' in small
towns along main highways, Ma
jcrity Leader Fabian Chavez of
Santa Fe, cO-sponsor of the meas
ure, said.
He said it was intended to help
eliminate complaints from through
out the nation about New Mexico's
fine system. JP courts and alleg-
ed speed traps.
Sen. CasWell F. Neal. D-Eddy
defended the proposal as It h e
greatest public relations act that
New Mexico has passed"
Those voting against the bill
were Senators Albert Amador,
D-Rio Arriba; Amaya; Cirlio Mae.

YES, and Vincent Wesley, D-Grant.
'"This bill does nothing more
than do away with the JP system
as we have known it in New Mex.
ico,'' Montoya said.
I'VE are striking out the judi.
cial system at the JP Court leve!
and this is only the beginning"
He also attacked the interim
legislative judicial system study
committee, headed by Chavez.
The measure, which now goes to
the House, is one of several Of
fe ed by the committee after two
years Of investigation of the JP
courts.
The plan, called the penalty as.
sessment system, sets up specific
fines and allows violators in min.
Or cases to mail the fine within
five days, rather than 60 to a JP
court and pay a S. court cost as
we'll as the assessment.
Chavez indicated in cases of out
of state motorists, the state 20
lice-man probably would go with
them to the neaest mail box t.
make sure it was sent.
Chavez noted that one peac,
justice at Edgewood on US 66 east
of Albuquerque had made $40,
600 annually from traffic cases
along an eight-mile stretch Of the
highway.

work on Navajo dam had been
performed IN percent Of the
time allowed by the contract, at
the end of the 1860 fiscal year.
Diversion of the river through the
main Outlet-wOrks tunnel was ac-
cOmplished and some IL muillion
cubic yards of fill material had
been placed at Navajo dam by
the end of the fiscal year on June
80, the Bureau reported.
Construction on both the Flam-
ing Gorge dam in Utah and the
Glen Canyon dam in Arizona is be-
hind schedule, the Bureau told
Congress.
At Flaming Gorge. "a per cent
Of the work has been done in 40
per cent Of the time allowed by
the contract. The main work to
be done is the construction of a
495-fOOt high-cOncrete arch dam
and of a 100000 kilOwatt power
plant on the Green river in Utah.
Diversion of the Green river and
completion of upstream and down
stream Golfer dams cleared the
way for excavation of the dam
foundation and keyways. Pouring
concrete at the dam started dur
ing the fall of 1860. Other major
construction completed during the
fiscal year included a public shell
ter house and parking area at the
dam site and the seismograph sta
ton. The first phase of clearing
the reservoir site was progress
ing well ahead of schedule at the
close of the fiscal year.
At Glen Canyon work was COM
pleted on SO percent of the pro-
ject in As percent of the overall
contract time allotted, at June 80,
1850. A strike at Glen Canyon,
from July 6, 1859, to Jan. 4, 1860,
brought work on the 7OO-foot high
concrete arch dam and the 9OO,-
OOO-kilOwatt power plant to a vir-
tual standstill. BY the end of the
fiscal year the excavation for the
dam and powerplant foundation
and keyWays was completed and
workmen started pouring concrete
ln both structures in June, 1860.
A decision is near as to how
and who will build the Upper Colo
RADIO transmission lines on the
Glen Canyon project. Six electric
companies serving Colorado, Utah.
Arizona, New Mexico and Wyo-
ming submitted a plan to con-
struct the major transmission lin
es on October l, 1859. They quoted
wheeling charges applicable under
this proposal in April, 1860. Sec
retary of Interior Fred A. Seaton
approved a 'Yardstick" proposal
devised by the Bureau to evaluate
the private utility proposal on
May II, 1860. 1t was based on an
all-federal transmission system,
which since has been proposed to
Seaton and is now before him for
decision,
In the interim, the Bureau, the
private utilities, the rural electric
cO-Operatives and other public
power users have agreed that the
Bureau of Reclamation is to con.
Struct the transmission lines from
Flaming Gorge to Oak Creek, Colo.
and from Glen Canyon to Cure

of the area was completed and
field surveys initiated on the pro-
posed Flaming Gorge - Vernal.

Opening lead: King Of spades.
West takes two spades and
then switches to a club. South
can now afford to lose only
one trump trick.
Most bridge players would
lead q low trump from
dummy. finessing the queen
from the South hand. AS 1t
happens, this loses to the king.
Declarer later tries to draw the
rest Of the trumps with
dummy's jack and his own ace.
but East gets the setting trick
with the 10 Of hearts.
Unlucky? Not at all. Switch
the trumps, and you'll still get
the same result. If East has
the doubleton king Of trumps,
your first finesse will work. On
the next trick the jack. king
and ace Of trumps will fall to-
lgether. The 10 and eight Of
trumps will then defeat the
contract.
In short, finessing the queen
lis q sure way to lose two trump
tricks when the trumps break
4-2, regardless Of which op-
Iponent has the king. If the
trumps break 3-3 you can play
the trumps upside down or
sideways and still make the
contract.
Correct Play
The correct play Is to get to
your hand with a diamond and
begin the trumps by leading
low from your own hand
toward dummy's jack.
This does not save you If
either opponent has four
trumps headed by the king,
nor If West has four to the
10. In those situations you are
doomed, just as you are safe
against any 3-3 break.
The proper play helps you
If West has the douhleton king
West cannot gain by playing q
low trump. so he must put up
his king. Dummy's jack and
your own ace-queen will later
draw the rest Of the trumps.

Windsform Strikes
In Durant Sunday

A Windstorm struck Durant
Sunday morning at approx
mately $40. High winds re
portedly swept the town and
the surrounding area. Extern
sive damage was caused in seve-
raj parts of the residential area
and business district.
HARDEST hit by the storm was
the Clayton Engle family. Two
large oak trees, each over so
inches in diameter, fell on or
near. their home by the railroad
on Madison Street. One tree on
the east side of the house fell
across the little blue Renault
Dauphine owned by Bobby En-
gle, Mr.. Engle's son, when it
was uprooted by the wind.
The second tree crashed into
the house, demolishing the
porch, the front bedroom, and
the living room and striking the
blue and white 1856 Ford own
ed by Clayton Engle, Jr.
Members of the family said
that they e awakened by a
loud Whistling noise and then
heard a rumble, like the sound
of a train, just as the storm
struck.
Both cars we're badly dam
aged, but are covered by in
surance. The Engle home stands
with two rooms and a porch
missing, and the part still stand
ing is in a shifted position with
cracked walls and warped, bow
ed floors. Luckily it is insured,
also.
The Engle family greatly ap-
preciates the aid that SO many
of the townspeople gave them
in moving the trees and in pull
ing the cars from under them
