There on the high plains big irri-

from groundwater pumped up by
thousands of wells. Here, and in Ari-

but elsewhere also, local and regional
water tables are dropping year by
year, indicating depletion of the
underground supply.
\ So the High Plains Water District
demanded that the Bureau of In

case of depletion of an exhaustible
resource, like oil or minerals.

Should Groundwater, Like Oil, Be

Arizona is the scene of one of the
most intensive groundwater develop

in Arizona alone, and made the policy
general for any area where the under
ground water table is declining, i.e.,
where exhaustion, fast or slow, is
already taking place. Further, he said
this should apply to all lands con-
trolled by the Interior Department.
Of course a ruling that would up
hold the right of water users to
depletion allowance would enhance
the rush and because the depletion
allowance would not apply until the
water table began to decline, i.e.,
until the supply was demonstrably
being exhausted, users would have
the tax incentive to use it up rapidly.

Craft Reported
Widespread In

By JAMES MCCARTNEY In
SEATTLE TIMES

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Feb. 49,
A pattern of political corruption thai
reaches across the nation is unfolding
in the Sal, O00,0 100000 federal inter.
state highway program.
Investigators have found trouble
at almost every point where they
have taken time to prod.
Now they are focusing on Massa-
chusetts-finding political patronage
gone wild, open chiseling by apprais-
ers, and incompetent highway per-
sonnel-with both political parties
cheating at the public trough.
But the roster of evils exposed by
a House subcommittee in the past
two years, taken as whole, tells
even more.
The subcommittee has found:
Blatant disregard of specifica-
tions at virtually all stages of high
way construction.
Shoddy workmanship.
Use of substandard and ''unsuit-
able" materials.
"Grave deficiencies in govern
ment testing and inspection.
Serious inadequacy of controls"
at both federal and state levels.
Payoffs by contractors to state
engineers who were supposed to be
protecting the interests of both the
federal government and the state.
SAYS ONE INVESTIGATORS
''It's not just Masachusetts-or

It's apparently all over. There is too
much money-and not enough con-
troll"

Marx Before Marriage

TOKYO (AP) - Before mar
and woman get married, tn
should thoroughly understand eacl
other.
Those words of wisdom have
been given to the youth of Com
munist China by a writer obvious
ly concerned over some of the
mail received. These letters report
such things as trouble with bossy
husbands and marriages undertake
en- only as a means of remaining
in the big city.
To deal with these problems
Yang Hsiu wrote an article fol
China youth, Young Communist
magazine published on the main.
land.
In a translation that has u s
reached Tokyo it points out tha'
one of the main problems in mar
riage is that young people these
days regard it as a matter of little
Importance.
Now, asks Yang Hsiu, is mar
riage really an important matter OIL
a small matter? The answer the
writer gives is that the whole ques-
tion has to be judged on a com.
parative basis.
Compared with revolution.
ary work, marriage and love i
really a small matter" the article
says. "An ambitious young mar
must have supreme purpose in
life, concentrating his principal en-.
ergy in work, study, progress ant
in socialist undertaking and put
ting marriage and love in minor
position"
The writer goes on to state there
does come a time in life when i
is necessary for a young man OIL
woman to find a life companion
But, the article says, ''this kind
of companion is a comrade, a com.
-in-arns as we'll as lover.
1t points out, however, that love
and marriage are important mat
ters for the individuals involved
and should be undertaken with
care and not with rashness.
Before man and woman gel
married, they should thoroughly
understand each other" Yang Hsiu
cautions. From a political stand
theological quality, attitude toward
labor and habit of living to DISPOSE
ton, likes and dislkes, one must
make careful analysis and judg-
ment.
The article warns this kind Oi
understanding cannot be gained al
first sight and there must be q
comparatively long period of OBJ
servation and contact.
A hasty marriage, the writer
adds, may do a lot more than make
the persons concerned unhappy.
-''If a young person has not yet
matured in politics, very often
domestic problems may make him
unhappy, dispirited, upset so thai
he takes no interest in work, thus
hindering his own progress"
