Morton Says River Visit May Change His Vote it NS' Silence Golden, Court Rules in New Trial Bid The Court of Appeals, Division 1, yesterday ordered a new trial for a convicted burglar on the ground that the Arizona Supreme Court has gone even further than the federal courts in upholding the right of the accused to remain silent. The new Maricopa County Superior Court trial was ordered for Frank Soto Villalobos, whose trial included police testimony that he remained silent when faced by an accuser before his arrest. The Court of Appeals said it always has been an error to comment during trial on the defendant's failure to testify at that trial.

Federal decisions have extended the same protection to pretrial proceedings after the arrest of an accused, the appeals court noted. In Arizona, added the appellate court, the Supreme Court appears to have extended the constitutional right of silence to those in custody and under other circumstances as well. The appeals court also threw out a hearsay identification of Villalobos made during the trial on the ground it was not shown to be a spontaneous remark in response to a shocking event. On similar grounds, the appellate court also reversed the Maricopa County Superior Court auto theft conviction of Ruben C. Zaragosa for new trial.

could do. In one hour of Aug. 18, 1966, a storm dumped 1.72 inches of rain on Phoenix, the greatest short term rainfall in the city's weather history. PROBABLY the best year for the league was 1911. In 24 hours over July 1-2 that year, 4.98 inches fell on Phoenix.

Through the month of July that year, rainfall for Phoenix totaled 6.47 inches. This July has been a disgrace: just about 1 inch; very close to normal. But what organization ever built a reputation on average performance? Give us an Oct. 4, 1954, when 2.57 inches fell at Walnut Gulch near Tombstone, and the thunder nearly woke Ed Schieffelin in his grave. Or let us have an August such as that of 1951, when nearly 17 inches of rain fell at Crown King, and the ozone flowed like water down the Ookilsipava River.

LET US recall the selfish realism of Big Dan Ming, whose range was seared by drought in the summer of 1885. Dan rose up in a meeting of the cattlemen's association, insisted that his fellow ranchers remove their hats, and prayed: "Oh Lord, I'm about to round you up for a good plain talking. Now, Lord, I ain't like these fellows who come bothering you every day. This is the first time I ever tackled you for anything, and if you will only grant this, I promise never to bother you agin. "We want rain, good Lord, and we want it bad; we ask you to send us some.

"But if you can't or don't want to send us some, then for sake don't make it rain up around Hooker's or Leitch's ranges, but treat us all alike. Amen." Okay, will the Phoenix Thunder Lightning Admiration Appreciation League come to order, please? Having declared a state of emergency, the chair will entertain no motions or debate. Those opposed, leave. There will be no refunds at the door, one of the weaknesses of an organization that charges no dues. Now this extraordinary session of the is prompted by the realization that we are halfway through the thunderstorm season, and the capital city hasn't had one, good, old-fashioned electrical storm.

OH, THERE have been timorous thunderheads prowling the perimeter of the Valley. And from time to time little black clouds will chase dusty gusts across the city. Some rain has fallen. But we inveterate patio sitters have not yet seen the Real Thing. When we think of lightning, we envision crackling, zig-zag charges drilling the tortured earth with hot light.

And when we say thunder, we mean full smites of Thor's hammer on the anvil of the sky. And when we speak of rain why, we have in mind a frog-strangler. A satisfying 3-inch rain is not 3 inches between drops. THAT THE moral fiber of this league is decaying is obvious. Last year, in August, we were all at our posts, performing the duties of league membership.

We were on our porches and in our backyards, sipping cold ones, gazing in admiration and appreciation upon the billowing towers of cumulo nimbus. Flash! Ka-boom! "Bravo! That was a good one, baby! One of us had better bring in the lawn chairs."

As a result, the Arizona water project may have a new ally on Capitol Hill. Rep. Rogers C.

B. Morton, who is one of nine influential members of. the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee making a six-day trip down the Colorado, said that he would return to his home state and tell his constituents they were misinformed. "I VOTED against it (CAP)," Morton admitted, "but now, after getting a firsthand look at the country, I'm convinced that the recreation advantages on the river with the dams are tremendous. "I had pressure from conservation groups and garden clubs in my own state to vote against the CAP because they believed the dams (Marble Canyon and Bridge Canyon) would interfere with Grand Canyon National Park." The Maryland legislator, a younger brother of Kentucky Sen.

Thruston Morton, said that in his opinion the dam sites would not affect Grand Canyon. MORTON MADE the comments Jn the presence of other interior committee members and Rep. Morris K. Udall, D-. who arranged the trip.

who said that he tfiginalry the trip down the Colorado two years ago, was obviously elated over Morton's enthusiasm for the CAP, The congressional group spent last night at Phantom Ranch, at the bottom of Grand Canyon, and planned to proceed downriver for another 48 to 72 hours on rubber rafts before returning to Washington. MORTON WAS the most outspoken of the congressional members, who were new to the area. However, Rep. WendeU Wyatt, appeared to be shocked at a geography lesson given by Rep. Udall.

At the Colorado, just below the Phantom Ranch area, Wyatt asked Udall, "Where will the water back up here from the Bridge Canyon Dam?" "Wendell, we will haveto travel two more flays on the river before we come to an area where the river will rise because of the proposed dam (at Bridge Canyon)," Udall answered. Within earshot of the conversation was Rep. F. F. Sisk, a member of the House Rules which blocked passage of the CAP bill last year.

Garbed in shorts, slacks, boots and broad-brimmed hats, the brow-mopping retirees, exclusive guests of the ranch, had a hot time living it up, picking grapes to their hearts' content, or at least as many as they could lug to their cars. By mid-morning, 500 cars had parked in the area, the novice pickers had swigged their way through 30 gallons of lemon- 1 Pw Storm Spreads Fires, Damage Across Valley A blustery late-developing thunderstorm whipped across the Valley last night, uprooting trees, downing power lines, and starting numerous small fires with lightning.

Phoenix firemen received 100 reports of damage or fires within an hour, and said that nine power poles had been struck by lightning. WIND GUSTS ripped most of the roof of a building occupied by Western Gillette Trucking at 2211 W. Roosevelt, ripping down live power lines soon after 10:30 p.m. Several thousand dollars damage to freight equipment was reported by company officials. The roof of an abandoned building at 22nd Avenue and Portland was whipped off by wind minutes later, also slicing power lines.

Trailers were shifted on their foundations in a West Roosevelt trailer park and awnings were shredded by the storm. Bill Lester of 3010 W. Elm said (Please Turn to Page 32 Col. 1) Lord 'Retired9; Dunton, 59, Gets Insurance Post In a sudden reversal yesterday, Gov. Williams withdrew his authorization for 'Deputy State Insurance Director Clarence 73, to continue working beyond mandatory retirement age of 70.

The action was taken at the request of state corporation commissioners, who promptly put Melvin Dunton, 59, longtime Phoenix insurance man, in Lord's job. Earlier in the day, the commissioners had received word that Williams was refusing their request because he felt it only would "contribute to an Intraparty squabble." But the commissioners then received a second letter from Williams, going' along with' their request and saying the attorney general had advised him mat requesting or not requesting a waiver of retirement for Lord was their sole province. Commissioner Dick Herbert, said Lord, got a waiver, his third, from the governor recently upon the request of State Insurance Director G. A. Bushnell.

Bushnell faces an order from the commissioners. to show why they should not remove him for accepting a home mortgage loan from an insurance company under his regulation. Cemetery. MR. MAHONEY lived with a daughter, Mrs.

THE TEAM I MAVICCW I i UP the Sun City residents. The vineyards had been picked for market shipments, but much of the ripe fruit was left. The Sun Citidns will continue to pick the rest of this week, but the free refreshments held good only until noon today. MRS. H.

S. Spence, originally from Omaha, said she was so excited over the prospects of grape picking that she woke up at 3:30 yesterday. She said she planned to make raisins from some of the grapes and give some of the fresh fruit to the handicapped and to residents without cars. One woman, wearing a broad brimmed decorated hat, said she was going to dry the grapes for raisins and store them in her refrigerator for Christmas gifts for her children. 'l ate a lot of the grapes as I picked," she said.

"I'm really full of iron now." One lady took notes on how to make muscatel wine. 2 Blue Cars in They had used her car and she dropped him at his apartment, 10 W. Northern, at 12:30 a.m. and drove toward her home alone. Detectives said they had found no indications that the missing woman might have planned her own disappearance.

All of her clothing, except what she was wearing, has been accounted for, officers, said, and she had little cash with her. Her checkbook, a charge plate and a lipstick were found in the abandoned car. "We've sent a description of her to every state in the union," said Detective Sgt. Vince Hennie, "but we've had no results so far. i "We're still trying to find persons who may remember seeing the missing girl's car near 28th Street and Osborn, who may have seen the blue late-model vehicles or any other suspicious vehicles or persons, or who may have seen Mrs.

Goll herself, either there or anywhere else. We hope mat anyone with such information will contact us." Mrs. Goll, 5-feet-5, 110 to 115 pounds with brown hair, brown eyes and a fair complexion, was last seen wearing a long-sleeved pmkflowered two. piece dress with v-neck, small lapel, small ade and 20 cases of soda pop, and an order rushed out for more free refreshment. I 1 SENIOR citizens, many arriving in expensive late model: cars, came armed with their own cutting shears, buckets, baskets and sacks to invade the rows of toothsome Perlette, Exotic and Thomp- son Seedless grapes.

For many, like Mrs. Anthony Otteii, formerly of Missouri, it was a first experience at picking grapes. "This is beautiful," Mrs. Otten said of the vineyard and its background White Tank Mountains. "It's a garden of Eden.

They never showed us anything like this in Missouri." Smith of Oxford Junction, Iowa, picking grapes as guest of his grand-, father, Ben Haney, held up a foot-long bunch and said "TWs is wild." The event was arranged by the Del E. Webb Development Co. as a project for Police Seek Police yesterday began searching for two blue late-model cars in connection with the disappearance nearly two weeks ago of an attractive Phoenix wotrian. Carmen Dawn Goll, 26, a secretary and model, vanished early on the morning of July 19 as she drove to her apartment at 2840 E. Osborn from the home of her escort for the evening.

Her car was. found parked just norm of Osborn on 28th Street, a half-block from her home. POLICE CHECKED that area during the early morning hours to find persons who often drive near mere during the hours Mrs. Goll vanished.

Another witness said two late-model blue cars, one or both of them Chevelles, were parked in a school parking lot at that location sometime between 12:45 and 1:15 a.m. Investigators said the young divorced mother of two children bad spent the evening with Peter Vaa Benscboten, 35.
