The net margins, to be distributed to different CPA division and agencies, will approximate $3 million, Brooks told the audience at a dinner at the Westerner Hotel. Brooks also told the Arizona cotton growers they would receive a settlement from CPA for last year's cotton that is the highest average net settlement derived by any method used before in the marketing of short-staple cotton. The settlement, Brooks said, would be as much as $30 per bale above the gross loan value on some grades and staples, and $3 to $5 higher than the average price obtainable by non-CPA members. After Brooks' discussion, J. B.

Bull, of Amado, and H. L. Holland of Coolidge, were reappointed by the Arizona members to CPA's central board of directors. OWII BEAUTIFUL, BEAVDRt MOTOR COMPANY YOUR IMPERIAL CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH DEALER IN TUCSON FACTORY METHOD SHOE REBUILDING AND DYE SERVICE OPEN FRl. EVE.

Robert Murphy, President -Eisenhower's special envoy, met for more than an hour Thursday with Prime Minister Ben-Gurion. Among the subjects believed to have been raised was that of Israel's willingness for talks with Arab leaders on a permanent peace.

Girl Dies Of Rupture Injuries Intestine Burst By Fluid, Autopsy Shows A 2'-year-old girl died yesterday at the Pima County Hospital two hours after she was admitted with a ruptured intestinal' tract, rectal bruises and lacerations and a small puncture wound in her Stomach. A few hours earlier, Julia Robles, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Nicomedes Robles, of 754 Calle Matus, had been playing in the backyard of the home of Mrs. Alice Vega, of 908 W. Michigan St. The child had been placed under the care of Mrs.

Vega by the Pima County Welfare Dept. Deputies are continuing their Investigation after an autopsy performed by Dr. George Hartman showed that "death was due to a ruptured colon caused by a fluid under great pressure being forced through the anus." A noz-ile on a garden hose would be an object capable of making this type of injury, deputies said. Mrs. Vega told deputies she had seen Julia playing with her two other foster children, Bertha, 5, and Nicholas Robles, 3, while she and her son, Robert, 12, cleaned the kitchen.

A few minutes later, attracted by the little girl's screams, she found her on the ground with her abdomen bloated. Mrs. Vega gave the child an enema of tap water and, with the water still in her 30 minutes later, Julia went into convulsions, deputies said.

Tucson-Benson Highway Plan Completed PHOENIX, July 31 (J-The Arizona Highway Department is putting the final touches on plans for a 13-million-dollar road construction project between Tucson and Benson. The program will bring 43.5 miles of U. S. Highway 80 up to full interstate standards.

Keyworth, Spies Score Hit in 'Potting Shed' By FRED HAINES What happened in the potting shed? The answer and the impli cations of the answer to this question provide a highly engaging evening at the University Theatre's production of "The Potting Shed." Graham Greene's intriguing drama uses all the devices of a psychological murder mystery to deal with his usual subject those who have lost God and the man ner in which they find Him again. When coupled with Peter Mar- roney flawless production the result is spellbinding theatre that leaves one with a lot to think about when the final curtain rings down. The mystery of the potting shed involves James and William Cal- lifer, respectively the son and brother of a noted atheist philosopherand happily unites two of Tucson's best actors on the stage, Robert Keyworth and William Spies.

Keyworth quiet, vague han dling of his role underscores Greene's conception of the man without faith, without hope lost in a world without meaning. There is conflict the stuff of drama in his gesture, in his speech, in his look. And there are moments when the audience pays him the supreme compliment of utter silence. Spies, as the drunken priest who had surrendered his faith in God at the potting shed, added another success to his list of ex cellent roles on the Tucson stage. To impeccable technique (he seems to be one of the few actors who realize a man can be awfully drunk and still stand up) he adds the imagination that makes stage role come alive.

Shirley Selman's portrayal of the philosopher's wife and the mother of James Callifer, is a many-faceted portrayal of a wom an whose loyalty is torn between the demands of her husband and the philosophy for which he stood, her son, and her own conscience. It is apparently Miss Selman's most demanding role to date, and she more than adequately brings off a difficult Young Callifer's estranged wife Sara is played by Susan Bloom, a lady with considerable feeling for integrity on the stage. Her restraint and intelligence are welcome. The entire cast deserves to be cited: Rita Lyons for her de lightful portrayal of a too wise little girl, Dan Williams, Jim Newcomer, Robert Myers, Joe Kranhold, Claudia Moholy-Nagy, and Ann Dalton the most pol ished cast in Tucson for some time. But what happened in the pot- tng shed? See it and find, out- it's well worth the effort of the thought that this play demands of its audience.

Divorcee Held In Fatal Shooting INDIANAPOLIS, July 31 (JV- A 40-year-old divorcee wanted for questioning in the fatal shooting of a pharmaceutical executive was found unconscious in an automobile Thursday night.

They denied knowledge of the kidnaping Wednesday of a socialite from a dentist's chair.

The Luke facility will coordinate data received from other defense installations and aircraft warning agencies. The facility will house a Western Electric Co. electronic plant and International Business Machines Co. electronic computing units.

The facility will have an initial component of 150 that could be subsequently expanded to employ more than 1,500 technicians. The New York City architectural firm of Burns and Roe reportedly will design the facility's principal unit, composed of three compartments, two housing operational equipment and the third a power generating plant. The main unit will be a three-story structure of more than 250,000 square feet. Iraq Recognized LONDON.
