Peach Springs Declared Under PEACH SPRINGS, (AP) A fire on the remote Hualapai Indian Reservation north of here which had blackened 6,700 acres was declared under control early today, officials said. George Leech, Bureau of Indian Affairs fire dispatcher, said the blaze was contained about midnight Tuesday and controlled about 24 hours later. Officials first said the fire covered 12,000 acres, but later reduced the figure after infrared photographs showed the blaze had burned in a U-shape, leaving a large unburned area in the middle. More than 700 fire fighters battled the flames. Leech said 120 fire fighters were Control Fire released early today with the rest of the crew expected to be domobilized by Friday.

He said reseeding of the burned area could begin as soon as Saturday. The fire burned to within four miles of the Grand Canyon. Fire fighters were unable to reach some areas of the fire due to steep canyon walls. Thunderstorms in the area helped contain the fire Tuesday night, dropping some rain on the flames. The fire apparently started a week ago but was not discovered until Friday in the remote area 30 miles north of here.

Officials said lightning was the cause. Tribal Committee Wants Investigation WINDOW ROCK. (AP) The advisory committee of the Navajo Tribal Council has recommended that tribal investigators continue a probe into reports outside forces tried to cause disruption of the tribal government. The committee made the recommendation after meeting in executive session and hearing members of an investigative committee give a report of their findings after three months of work. One member of the advisory committee said later its report concentrated on the activities of two former consultants for the Navajo Area School Board Association, Joe Patrick and Jack Crowder.

Both men have been characterized by Tribal Chairman Peter MacDonald as being "spies on the reservation" for Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz. The school board association is funded Continued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and supervises several federally funded projects on the reservation. After the executive session, the advisory committee passed a resolution that the tribe fund a continuation of the investigation since, "enough evidence was presented to make committee members believe that there were some outside forces involved in plots to disrupt the tribal The investigation began about three months after John Harvey Adamson, confessed slayer of Arizona Republic newsman Don Bolles, testified he had had a conversation with Patrick about "creating havoc on the Navajo Reservation" for the purpose of getting the current administration out of office. Patrick has denied having anything to do with potential disruptions on the reservation.

"Rather than they were locked behind Prison Officials Ordered Reinstated PHOENIX (AP) The State Personnel Boards has ordered the Corrections Department to reinstate an accountant and a prison sergeant who told of a trusty's turquoise-hunting trip with a prison official's wife. In appealing his dismissal on charges that he allowed his nine-year-old daughter to correspond with an imprisoned child-molester, Sgt. Roy Nichols also suggested that prison officials don't want to know bad things about certain inmates. In addition, the board Wednesday directed the Corrections Department to reinstate ousted accountant Warren Horne with a reprimand for improperly claiming state travel and subsistence funds.

But the board turned down the appeal of Leon Thompson Jr. from his dismissal as a civil rights representative of the attorney general's office. He had been fired on charges of incompetence, inefficiency, improper attitude, neglect, discourtesy to the public, and disobedience. In a recent hearing of his appeal, Nichols testified that: -He found marijuana in two prisoners' lockers, gave it to his captain, and was told Maj. Joe Martinez would take action on it.

-He later heard one of the prisoners claim he was framed and heard the major reply that "'This one is on me, and the next one is on you." -Though the prisoners apparently went undisciplined, he (Nichols) was re-assigned to a different area and shift where he could not continue as sponsor of the Jaycees in the Florence prison. Nichols answered in the affirmatige when asked, "Are there some situations where you found out that people just don't want to know bad things about certain inmates?"

The SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Unions in Copper Strike Threaten Demand Increase PHOENIX (AP) Unless settlements are reached soon with two strikebound copper companies, union negotiators will increase their demands, a union representative said. Tom Striegel of the United Steelworkers of America said Wednesday strikers at Inspiration Consolidated Copper Co.

and Asarco Inc. will expect more than workers at other copper producers which settled with the unions more than a month ago. "If they don't settle pretty soon at Inspiration and Asarco, the ante is going to go up," said Striegel. "Our guys just aren't going to go back for the same thing we got at the other companies." Settlements with five major copper producers were valued at $1.04 an hour over three years, including 85 cents in wage increases. The first of those agreements with Kennecott Copper Corp.

and Magma Copper Co. came within hours after strikes began July 1. Striegel said some members of the unions' bargaining committee at Phelps Dodge Corp. were reluctant to accept a settlement there because the strike had lasted five weeks. Phelps Dodge reached agreement last Sunday.

people feel that if they have to stay on strike for three weeks or a month longer than at other companies, they're entitled to more," Striegel said. Officials at Asarco and Inspiration declined to respond to Striegal's comments. Duncan McDonald, director of industrial relations for Inspiration, said negotiations continued Wednesday on local issues. Talks are being held in Miami, under the guidance of Federal Mediator Sam Franklin. Decision on South Tucson Policeman Expected TUCSON (AP) A decision is expected by next Tuesday on Patrolman Christopher Dean's future with the South Tucson Police Department after Atty.

Gen. Bruce Babbitt refused to review the case. Babbitt Wednesday turned down a request by South Tucson officials to determine if Dean acted properly under departmental rules in connection with a July 2 shooting death in which the officer has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. Officials had said that a Babbitt investigation would be the basis for determining Dean's future with the department. If the attorney general refused to investigate, Mayor Dan Eckstrom said, a decision on Dean's future would be announced Tuesday.

Dean, 29, is under suspension with pay and faces a Monday hearing in Superior Court on the involuntary manslaughter indictment. He is accused in the death of Jose Sinohui 24, of Tucson, who was hit by one of seven shots Dean fired at his pickup truck. Babbitt said it was outside of his jurisdiction to check into local police department regulations. He said that while his office has conducted such probes, he is "extremely reluctant to do it." Meanwhile, two Tucson police officers who fired shots in the incident were cleared Wednesday of any wrongdoing, police reported. Police Chief William Gilkinson said he agreed with the recommendation of a police investigative panel that no disciplinary action should be taken against the two, Martin Fuentes and James Richards.

Gilkinson said Fuentes Suicide Concluded In Morgan's Death TUCSON (AP) Charles Curtis Morgan, a businessman who apparently feared for his life after giving secret evidence in a state banking investigation, committed suicide, Pima County sheriff's detectives have concluded. "We have found no evidence that anyone took part in the death but himself," Sgt. Joe Jett, head of the sheriff's homicide unit, said Wednesday, adding that the case has been closed although the death has not been classified officially. Evidence in Morgan's mid-June death indicates that he fired a bullet from a .357 magnum revolver into his head, Jett said.

JOYCE GRIFFEN Griffen To Head Commission Dr. Joyce J. Griffen, and Richards acted within departmental guidelines in firing shots because they believed that they were trying to halt someone who had shot an officer.

Investigators said each fired after hearing from other officers at the scene that an officer had been shot. No officer was shot during the disturbance, in which police were pelted by rocks and bottles from persons in a crowd of more than 150. Fuentes told the investigative panel that he fired once at Sinohui's truck because he saw flashes of gunfire that he thought came from the truck. Those were Dean's shots, investigators said. Richards said he fired at the truck also because he thought someone in it was responsible for shooting an officer.

Fuentes' shot hit a rear tire of the pickup and Richards' hit a street sign, investigators said.
