Old jealousies have spilled over in the struggle between the once-dominant North and the South over a water development program. The North has most of the water and the South has most of the population and would pay most of the bill. The dispute has turned into an unyielding test of power between the 80-man Assembly, preponderantly Southern, and the 40-man Senate, 31-9 Northern and used to getting its way. The North says: Help us finance Northern dams and be water enough for everybody. The South says: Give us water rights first, then give you the money.

The Legislature adjourned its regular session March 30 without adopting a state budget for the first time in history. Republican Gov Goodwin J. Knight charging grave largely to election-year politics, called a special session the next day. The Senate promptly wrote in 83 million dollars for water development. The Assembly voted for only 14 million.

The spending has been tied up in conference committee ever since.

The chase through side streets and back alleys was punctuated by the squealing brakes of motorists trying to dodge the fleeing car.

Officers said Grjekian ran one red light and at least three stop signs. He wras held for investigation without formal charge.

Others in the batch were Clarence J. Messner of Grosso Pointe. a new member of the State Conservation Commission, and Joseph Rahilly of Newberry, who has been on the conservation agency since 1939, Because of defections from the Republican line during service in thi House 1952-56, Burns had stirred opposition in GOP legislative ranks.
