I have a nice garden.

The land is rich. I also have some goats to take care of. I wish a lady around 55 or 60 if suitable would get married. My mother lives close. She could stay with her at night and not be alone.

So if interested please write Hey, you high school tigers. Here's one that Pat Laughlin, administrative assistant, Phoenix Union high schools and college system, tells on himself: Soon after his graduation from Columbia, he tried to register to vote. Officials demanded proof he was literate. Unfortunately his diploma was in Latin. So he had to take the literacy test usually give foreign-born aliens seeking citizenship.

And he flunked it JUST BECAUSE summer is gone, don't throw away those shabby cool-seats. Toss them in the trunk of your car. They're perfect for traction in sand and snow.

Yesterday the capitol press wire carried this news item: "The attorney general's office held that law does not require toilet facilities in barbershops if such facilities are available elsewhere in the buildings housing the shops." Republle Photo by Bill Nixon struction near Flagstaff and Williams. Construction will pour more than $2 milion into northern Arizona's economy in monthly payrolls of $130,000. HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION-J. B. Foster, engineer for the Arizona Highway Department, inspects a portion of new Interstate 40 under con- Realtors Prefer To Bypass Deeds, Leader Of Bar Says $130,000 Payroll Involved By BILL NIXON FLAGSTAFF-Highway construction on the new Interstate 40 between Flagstaff and Williams will pour more than $2 million into northern Arizona's econ omy for a period ending in September 1963.

Don Sampson, superinten dent for the Isbell Construction said the current monthly payroll is $130,000. Much of that money is spent by workers for living expenses in Flagstaff and Williams, although some are Phoenix residents who live in trailers during the working days. The dual highway construction work is divided into four separate jobs, all under contract to the Isbell firm. There are 15.4 miles under construction at a total cost of $6,732,341.80. The work Involves a total mileage of 36 or 38 miles, Including the dual highway, frontage and cross roads.

"It seems like a lot of money," said Walter O. Ford, resident engineer for the Arizona Highway Department, "until you multiply that 15.4 miles by two, and then allow for ac cess roads and interchanges." Each side of the new highway is 38 feet wide and the highway includes 12-foot travel ways, a four-foot shoulder on the inside and a 10-foot distress lane on the outside. The texture differential, a red cinder topping in the travel ways, lends assistance to night driv ing, Ford said. THE FOUR jobs begin 6 miles east of Williams and run parallel for the most part with the U.S.-66 alignment. At one point 14 miles west of Flagstaff's city limits the dual highway crosses 66 through a mountain of rock.

Sampson, who has been with Isbell for 18 years, estimated more than 200,000 cublic yards of rock must be moved from that mountain. The rock job is 75 per cent complete. The length of the operation is 1,200 feet and the cut at its deep est is 120 feet. The drillers and blasters work in one section, while a electric in one section, while a electric-powered shovel of 6-cubic-yard capacity digs and scoops in another area. Dump trucks carry the broken rock down the line as foundation for the roadway.

Isbell's materials yard near the construction is a network of action that produces six different processes for road building. SamDson estimated that Isbell has more than $2 million in equip ment at the material yard. This includes the conveyor belts, dump trucks and caterpillars. The biggest caterpillars cost $85,000. The 15.4 miles of dual highway between Flagstaff and Williams is just a small section of Interstate 40, which runs virtually frorm coast tto coast.

The cost of the project is backed by 95 per cent of federal aid money with the remainder from the state government. Isbell's contracts are 65 per cent complete now. Target date for finishing the jobs is Sept. 30, 1963, depending on the weather. Expulsion By JAY BUNDY Republic Tucson Bureau TUCSON-The University of Arizona agreed yester day to reconsider its order exDelline Phi Kappa Psi social fraternity from the campus.

A. L. Slonaker. dean of men, said a meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m. today to discuss the matter with members of the chapter's alumni association and the fraternity's national treasurer who arrived from Cleveland yesterday.

"Any organization is entitled to a hearing," Slonaker said, "and we have agreed to take another look at the matter. We have complete approval from the administration." Fraternity representatives were hesitant to comment on the situation. "Our position with the university is very touchy right now," said Charles Remme, chapter alumni adviser. "We can't make any statements which might jeopardize the meeting with university officials." Ralph Haney, national treasurer of Phi Kappa Psi, said any state ments on the matter must come from the dean of men. DEE NASON, chapter president, said he has not received any official notice concerning when the fraternity must disband.

"Assuming what we don't want to happen does happen," Nason said. "I imagine we'll have to leave the house within 30 days or so. I know of several fraternities in some of the older houses which would like to take over here." The nationally affiliated chapter was ordered expelled following a drinking party in violation of university regulations. The chapter has been on probation since February because of what university officials termed general lack of leadership and poor scholarship. The national office has been asked to revoke the local chapter's charter by the UofA administration.

The $198,000 chapter house was occupied in the fall of 1961. UJM C0LLDN I RJN OFF A FORM LETTER ON A STENCIL, AND SEND THE SAME LETTER TO THE'SREAJ rWKlN'SANTA CLAU AND THE AST BlMV?

They say they don't want to draw up deeds and mortgages.

Carl Hayden, will be honored by the White Mountain Apache Tribe tomorrow at the dedication of the $950,000 Alchesay Springs Fish Hatchery. The tribal council last month passed a resolution naming the dedication ceremonies Carl Hayden Dav to honor Arizona's senior 'statesman for his long-time friendship with the tribe.

Tribal Chairman Lester Oliver reported that several hundred visitors and other dignitaries are expected at the noon dedication. The hatchery is 8 miles north of the tribal headquarters in Whiteriver. THE HATCHERY will be the second largest in the state. It was constructed by the U.S. Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife on reservation land leased from the Apaches.

Oliver said funds for the hatchery were obtained through the efforts of Sen. Hayden in 1959. In I960 the tribal council passed a resolution to name the project Carl Hayden Fish Hatchery. Hayden declined the honor and instead requested that it be named after his long-time friend, the late Chief Alchesay, hereditary chief of the White Mountain Apache Tribe. AMONG the dignitaries speak ing will be Robert E.

Vaughn, assistant commissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington; John Gant, regional director of the Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife, Albuquerque; Wade Head. Phoenix, area director for the BIA and others. Among the guests will be Sam Goddard, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, congressional candidate George S. Senner Arizona Supreme Court Justice Renz Jennings and Les Baha, tribal council member and only living grandson of Chief Alchesay. A free elk and venison barbecue, donated by tribal members, will follow the dedication.

Barry DeRose, Globe, tribal attorney, said invitations have been sent to political leaders of both parties in Arizona. He said the dedication will be nonpolitical. Sunday unwittingly, will become parts of a conspiracy to evade the Supreme Court decision, and may wind up in a considerable amount of trouble." AMONG CRITICS of 103 are two real estate men. Tex Rieber of Phoenix says 103 won't save money for property owners because of "the terrific legal complications, plus being declared unconstitutional." K. T.

Palmer of Scottsdale says 103 "would not restore to the real estate men the right to draw deeds, contracts, mortgages, leases, etc. real estate men, in this county at least, have not been accustomed to drawing conveyancing documents. The title companies have performed that service." Initiative 103 also does not affect sales of new homes. Homebuilders generally own title to their property and can draft deeds and mortgages without a lawyer's service. The realtors admit this.

If 103 won't do what it is supposed to do, why the dispute? The issue seems to hinge on realtors' fears that the Supreme Court decision bars them from completing preliminary purchase contracts. THEY FEAR many deals will fall through since a large percentage of sales are impulse buys. Von Ammon says the fears are unrealistic. After the Supreme Court's clarification decision of last May, he said, the lawyer for the realtors prepared a preliminary purchase agreement which sets down the terms of purchase and tne broker fee. "They printed 50,000 copies," he said, "so it must have been the counsel's opinion they were legal.

The counsel is J. Mercer Johnson, former Supreme Court justice. "With the exception of a few mavericks, no real estate brokers ever have prepared legal documents from a real estate sale.

If so, or If you ever did, you'll want to read veteran reporter Gene McLain's four-part series on Phoenix traffic courts beginning Sunday in The Arizona Republic.

When complaints about the brand of justice dispensed on traffic citations began to pile up, this newspaper assigned McLain to a two-week survey of conditions. He found justification for many of the gripes. What's worse, he found the system turning ordinarily law-supporting citizens against the police and the courts. Don't mips it; It could happen to you.

Carl Hayden has been credited by Arizona water officials with, blocking "easy" settlement of the dispute with farmers in Baja California over salinity of water flowing across the Mexican border in the Colorado River. "Easy" setlement of the dispute would be to give the Mexican farmers what they asked: News Analysis that an engineering study be initiated looking toward construction -of a dam to hold back the floodwaters so both the whites and the Indians could have more water.

His suggestion was adopted, and the dam was built under the administration of President Calvin Coolidge, who came to Globe to dedicate it in 1929. Throughout his career in Washington he has been the chief champion of development of the West's water resources, and he has been closely associated with every Arizona water development His role in the Senate filibuster with Sen. Henry Fountain Ashurst against the Boulder Canyon Project Act, however, was the key to preserving Arizona's rights, and the rights of other basin states from usurpation by California. In that fight, Hayden forced amendment of the act to limit California's use of water in perpetuity to 4.4 million acre-feet of main stream water, allocating the remainder to Arizona and Nevada. It was on that amendment to this federal law that Special Master Simon H.

Rifkind based his decision upholding Arizona's right to the use of 2.8 million acre-feet per year of water stored In Lake Mead. Hayden's move halted precipitous action, and resulted in appointment of a 14-man committee from the basin states to work with the boundary commission to seek a solution to Mexico's problem on the basis of better use of water and drainage This action on Hayden's part Is but one of many cases in his long career in Washington where his wide acquaintanceship and the high respect in which he is held has averted serious damage to his state. And, of course, he has been a key figure in Arizona's fight to obtain a fair share of Colorado River water from the beginning of his service in Washington. One of Hayden's first actions as a member of the House of Representatives in 1912 was to set the wheels in motion for construction of Coolidge Dam on the Gila. That came about in this way.

The new Arizona representative was placed on the Indian Bureau subcommittee, and the commissioner of Indian afairs informed the subcommittee of a pending lawsuit on behalf of the Indians against white farmers over waters of ihe river. Hayden counseled against such a lawsuit, which would tie up the waters of the rivei toe many years, and suggested instead ings of the technical panel before its report was made. One 'of these findings Involved pumping 220,000 acre-feet a year from Arizona into a canal that would carry it around the Mexican diversion point, and dump it into the ocean without giving the United States credit for its delivery to Mexico under the treaty. Sen. Hayden did not hesitate to sweep aside the State Department's secrecy cloak.

He sent the department and the President a nine-page memorandum, releasing it to the press simultaneously to alert the people of Arizona and other Colorado River basin states. In addition to objecting to giving away water belonging to Arizona, Nevada and California, Hayden gave the State Department officials an expert explanation of the U.S. Senate's conditional ratification of the Mexican treaty in 1944. One of those conditions was a clearly established understanding that the United States would receive credit for all water crossing the border, regardless of its quality. This was the understanding of all of the treaty's negotiators because it Is inevitable that Colorado River water will become more saline as use increases upstream.

more water than is allotted to them under the U.S.-Mexican Water Treaty in order to dilute the salinity. The dispute arose just before President Kennedy visited the president of Mexico. It was publicized in Washington with full page ads in the Washington Post an unusual way to open a diplomatic discussion. During his visit to Mexico, President Kennedy promised to take care of the salinity problem, and on his return sent the matter to the State Department. This agency immediately contacted the U.S.

members of the International Boundary and Water Commission, which appointed a panel of technical experts to make recommendations. Usual State Department secrecy surrounded the entire study. At his post in Washington, Senator Haydea learned of the find- 1.
