March 20, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC THE STATE'S GREATEST NEWSPAPER Economist Asks Study Of Water TUCSON Raymond E. Seltzer, head of the University of Arizona department of agricultural economics, yesterday urged extensive study of three urgent questions to be raised by settlement of the Colorado River water dispute. "If the special master's decision on the Arizona-California dispute is upheld by the U. S.

Supreme Court, as expected, it may result in Arizona getting an additional 1,800,000 acre feet of water from the Colorado River," Seltzer said. Seltzer feels these problems will result: 1. What amounts of water with what probabilities can Arizona count on from the river from year to year in the future? 2. What are the best and most productive uses that Arizona can make of the additional water? 3. What is the best way to get these additional waters into use and out of the river? Seltzer said the picture at the end of the year on usable water stored in Arizona's reservoirs looked good.

"IT WAS more than double the long-time average on the Salt and Verde system, and slightly higher than the long-run average in Lake Mead and Lake Mohave," Seltzer said.

Tucson "Under the new system, there is no record of counsel having entered an innocent plea for his client after seeing a sneak preview of the film." Smokey Bear with a shave, J. Morgan Smith of Albuquerque, N.M., has distributed his annual report on the multiple uses of the 12 national forests in Arizona and New Mexico. Recreation is deemed to be "the fastest growing use." In I960, there were 8,200,000 visits to the forests. Up a half million from the year before.

Lumber worth $22 million wholesale was harvested. The forests supported 330,000 big game animals, 231,000 cattle and 136,000 sheep. The men in green picked up 899,000,000,000,000 beer cans. At least, it seemed that many. WOMEN appreciate fur coats, but Mrs.

This column's feeling that, the producers would have to change the title of the new Paul Newman film, "The Hustlers," to something more attractive was justified when the boys in charge decided to rename it "Sin of Angels." The fresh title was inspired by a William Henry Davies poem, "Ambition," which contains the line: "I had ambition, by which sin the angels fell; I climbed and, step by step, 0 Lord, ascended into Hell."

Echols explained he needed a device which could seek out hot spots, such as a smoldering short-circuited wire behind a plaster wall. Or perhaps a burning roast in a smoke filled residence.
