ALLEN W ASHING TO N Rumbling: clouds of protest an Capitol Hill over the president's demand de-mand for a blanket $-1,000,-)00,000 work-relief appropriation appropri-ation is one instance of much moke and no flame. Despite fulminations from both Liberals and Old Guarders the president's request is as good as passed. The reasons are simple. 1. Congress doesn't dare defeat the program 2. The outcry against entrusting en-trusting the expenditure of such a huge sum in the hands of one man without a specific itemization of what the money is to be used for. regardless of the merits of the criticism, won't get to first base. The house, gagged and bound, will approve the appropriation overwhelmingly, and with this club over its head the senate will do likewise. 3. Efforts by the Liberals to boost the ante also will get nowhere: first, because most of the members are already staggered by the size of the appropriation; second, because the administration argues that it is impossible to spend more than $4,000,000,000 in a single year. The major battle ground on the issue will be in the senate. There a strange line-up is in formation. Liberals of the Borah and Nye stamp, moderates such as the Republican Re-publican Vandenberg and the Democratic Gore, and a mixture of Old Guarders from both sides of the chamber wi' join forces in the attempt to restrict the president presi-dent on how the money shall be used . An interesting feature of the situation is the casualness with which banking interests are viewing view-ing the matter. Private word has reached the administration that Wall Street is not opposed to the appropriation or the manner in which the president presi-dent proposes using it. .

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 15 fl'.ni A conference of Colorado river basin states to thresh out a 20-year-old controversy over diversion diver-sion rights neared adjournment today to-day with no hint forthcoming that the deadlock was weakening. Debates centered over Arizona's proposal to be ceded 2.800.000 acre feet of water annually from the Boulder dam project. In outlining outlin-ing the state's position, A. H. Favour, chairman of the Arizona commission, said the quota would aid California, which is opposing the proposed compact with the other states. "We are ready to put this water to use on 600,000 undeveloped acres of land at the backdoor of Los Angeles." Favour told the conference. -If we don't put it to use, it will tlow down the Colorado Colo-rado into Mexico and be used there, destroying anv chance we mie:ht have of reclaiming it."

President mmmmmmm ' IIMIIJUimiH. I. E. BROCKBANK MAP PLANS FOR DEER CREEK Articles of Incorporation, Water District Act To lie Submitted. Getting the Metropolitan Water Wa-ter district act in shape to present pre-sent to the Utah state legislature and completing the articles of incorporation in-corporation for the Deer Creek Waterusers Association, are two major problems which are now re- t ceiying the close attention of the committee working on the ten million dollar project. Both the articles and the water district act will be ready for submission sub-mission within a week. To Test Validity It is essential that the Metropolitan Metro-politan Water District act be whipped into shape immediately for presentation to the legislature, said Elmer A. Jacob, project manager, man-ager, today. If and when the legislature legis-lature passes the act, then it must be tested by the state supreme court for its constitutionality. Mr. Jacob and the rest of the committee plan to rush the act through as rapidly as possible so as to have it back from the supreme su-preme court before the legislature adjourns. After that the cities and towns interested in the project would conduct a vote to see if they desired to join in the district. J Articles of incorporation for the ' Waterusers association, which are ! nearly completed, are .expected to be sent to Washington, D. C. for approval within three or four days. The articles will probably be sent back after about a month in the reclamation bureau, in the opinion of Mr. Jacob, after which the association can be formed. Quick developments in the project are anticipated after the formation form-ation of the Waterusers association. associa-tion. Durrant Named Chief Deputy Walter Durrant, American Fork, was appointed chief criminal crimin-al deputy of the Utah county sheriff's sher-iff's force this week Although Sheriff E. G. Durnell has not had a regularly appointed chief deputy previously, Durrant has taken charge of many of the investigations where the sheriff was ndT present. Patman. leader of the congressional congres-sional bonus drive since the bonus army jdays, predicted that the house would defeat the Vinson measure. "I don't think the house will pass a bonus bill without the currency cur-rency expansion feature in it," Patman said. It was recalled that last session this bill shot through the house by a better than two to one majority. Vinson, whose bill differs in essential es-sential derails from Patman's only in providing that the treasury may choose its own mode of payment, differed with his colleague. "I believe my bill will be enacted," he said.

Although nothing definite has been announced concerning the initiation of the program, Mr. Arentz said, it will be well for the city and county to be prepared to submit projects for approval when the program is launched. NRA TEST SEEN IN CODE CASE WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 uj A Clean-cut test of what the supreme su-preme court may do, ultimately, with the NIRA and to the codes of fair competition promulgated under it, appeared before that high tribunal today. The government appealed the Belcher Lumber case, in which the U. S. District court of Northern Alabama sustained demurrers of William E.

Belcher charged that NIRA and the code were in violation of the federal constitution, a position the government attacked today in a statement of jurisdiction.
