Conlan, in a Phoenix Press. Club forum, said the reasons for the committee's failure to report included: Not enough secretarial help to compile a written research document. Belief of the subcommittee that smog legislation was dead this year anyway. Lack of time to take advantage of an invitation by the mines to examine their operations. The senator shared the forum The 1.5 million acre-feet of treaty committed water for Mexico from the Colorado River came in for discussion during the final hearing session.

Rep. Craig Hosmer, severely criticized the State Department for "giving away a precious resource of the United States." He asked whether future plans call for Mexico to get a lion's share of desalted water from a contemplated joint-venure atomic water-power plant on the border. T. R.

THE AVERAGE ANNUAL loss of water by evaporation from Lake Mead is 108,000 acre-feet less than it was before the creation of Lake Powell, upstream on the Colorado River, a government scientist revealed yesterday.

This is the amount by which evaporation has been reduced because of colder water flowing into Lake Mead, said Horace Bab-cock of Tucson, water resources division chief of the U.S. Geological Survey. PREVIOUS estimates of evaporation from Lake Mead were based on the assumption that the rate would be the same as it was before water was stored in Lake Powell. The saving, called a "bonus" by Babcock, was discovered in a recent study conducted by the USGS. It represents a volume of water which is almost double the capacity of Canyon Lake on the Salt River.

"THE TEMPERATURE of the Lake Mead inflow," Babcock explained, "was much lower in 1965 than in previous years because the water released from Lake Powell is cooler than the water that formerly flowed in the uncontrolled Colorado River." Babcock didn't have the exact temperature records of the two lakes, but described Lake Powell as "extremely cold." TOTAL evaporation from Lake Mead from 1953 to 1964, he said, was 10,004,700 acre-feet. This is about times the combined capacity of all seven Salt River Project reservoirs. The annual evaporation varied from a low of 704,000 acre-feet in 1965 to a high of acre-feet in 1958. The USGS official explained that the volume of evaporation from a lake varies directly with the size of the surface area. LAST YEAR, when the lake was at a comparatively low level, the evaporation was 602,600 acre-feet, compared to the 10-year average of 834,000 acre-feet "Without the effect of Lake Powell," said Babcock, "this would have amounted to about 690,000 acre-feet last year." The USGS estimates that the evaporation from Lake Powell was 300,000 acre-feet last year, with the lake filled to only one-third of its 27 million acre-feet capacity.

At about the time this story hits print, Cpl. Charles S. Hightower son of Mrs.

Carl S. Hightower of 3641 N. 36th Phoenix, would have been due for rotation. But he's not going home. Not yet.

He is one of 3,000 Marines, about 10 per cent of the 3rd Amphibious Force, to extend his enlistment. He signed for another six months. IN ALPHA 3rd Engineer Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, there are three redheads: Little Red, Plain Red and Big Red. Hightower is Big Red. Six-two.

One hundred ninety-eight. He is 20 years old, a 1964 graduate of Camelback High. When I encountered him, out in the hills above Da Nang, he had just returned from an operation against the VC, and Big Red was red even between his freckles. He was covered from gung-ho hat to jungle fatigues to pack harness to canvas boots with coralline dust, and everybody downwind for 20 yards had to agree he needed a bath. But Big Red delayed his shower long enough to explain something about his work and why he will stay with it for another half a year.

ONE OF Big Red's main duties has been detecting, deactivating and destroying boobytraps. These are the devilish devices which have caused more casualties in some battalions than enemy bullets. Near Big Red's tent is a unique institution of higher learning, the 3rd MAF Booby-trap School, where a classroom nap can be permanent and a flunking mark a gravestone. The 3rd MAF is trying to send every Leatherneck through the school. Besides classroom theory in fuses and triggers and such, the school has a course in practical examples, laid out through a few acres of tropical brush.

A variety of infernal machines are rigged along the trail, beginning with the gate, wired to a grenade. Many of the traps are of genuine Vietcong manufacture, deactivated and brought back by patrols. To add to realism, the boobytrap schoolteachers reload the training aids with just enough bang to scare a boot out of his boots. and 26 miles north of this border litii lliiiyiil ft 1 iVf 1 ipBliillif Vv KS 1 mm i hi mux i i' Hill ii I sence, to be followed by full' time service as professor of ed' ucation. town.
