The Leading News Source COLORADO "The final decision as to what the future of society shall be depends not upon how near its organization is to perfection, but on the degree of worthiness in its individual members." Schweitzer 1 P.M. STOCKS No. Year Rolli AP and UPIDial 632-4641 COLORADO JULY 21, 1972 10c Daily 25c Sunday Four Sertions- 54 PAGES Springs to Get Most Water In Allocation Bv RAY BROUSSARD Gazette Telegraph Staff Writer got the share of 20.000 acre-feet of Fryingpan-Arkansas project water allocated Thursday by the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District (WATCON). WATCON is the sponsoring agency for the transmountain water diversion project that ultimately will ship more than 70,000 acre-feet of water a year from the Western Slope to the Arkansas River Drainage system. The 20.000 acre-feet of project water is the first such available in 1972.

Colorado Springs was allocated a total of 5,480 acre- feet. That represented 54 8 per cent it received of the total of 10.000 acre-feet requested. The arrangement was made in the form of an interim contract, finished, and accepted by the WATCON board after being presented the details by Pan- Ark project director Robert Evans. Initially, the board and Evans expected allocations of about feet, but those estimates fell short. The water represents the first diversions through the Charles S.

Boustead Tunnel. This tunnel, formerly known as the Divide Tunnel, was recently dedicated near Leadville. It is nearly six miles long and was bored through the Continental Divide for the diversions. Colorado Springs and El Paso ounty are the largest money supporters of the WATCON operations. Charles Thomson, general manager of WATCON, said that the contractual arrangements tor purchase of the diversion water are effective immediately.

The allocations of water were based on applications received by WATCON prior to Junt 11. Applications for purchase of project waters were received from 11 entities which made to- New Minimum Wage Bill Approved in U. S. Senate By R. GREGORY NOKES WASHINGTON (AP) -The Senate has voted to boost the minimum hourly wage to 2 20 a move that could bring bigger paychecks to millions of workers and more labor support for Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern.

The increase from the present minimum of $1.60 was the largest single pay hike in history. It came after McGovern made a special trip from his vacation retreat in South Dakota to cast his vote. The bill extends coverage to 7.4 million additional workers, including 1.2 million domestic servants, 1 million chain store employes and 4.9 million federal, state and local government employes. It now goes to a House-Senate conference to reconcile differences between the Senate version and one approved earlier by the House which provides a $2 minimum pay scale. The Senate approved the measure by a vote of 65 to 27 Thursday night after defeating the Nixon proposal for a $2 minimum by a 47 to 46 vote.

Backers of McGovern hoped his vote would improve his image with labor. The $2.20 imum was a key goal of the AFL-CIO in this legislative ses-i sion. McGovern was not endorsed by the AFL-CIO executive council. The bill passed the Senate after amendments postponed the effective date of the 2.20 minimum to two years, instead of one. and eliminated 1 million employes in retail and service establishments doing less than $250,000 annual busi-i ness.

As approved, the minimum wage would jump from $1.60 to 2.00 for most non-farm workers 60 days after enactment, and to the full 2.20 in two years. About 6.1 million workers would be affected, as the other 53 million covered workers make above the minimum wage. The present minimum of $1.30 for workers on large farms would be raised to 2.20 in three years. The bill also repeals exemptions which now prevent many workers from getting overtime pay. Sens.

Peter H. Dominick, R- and Robert Taft, R-Ohio, sponsors of the bill, said the proposal was inflationary and would undermine economic stabilization effort. Prices Still Going Up Bv DONALD FINLEY WASHINGTON (UPI) -Higher prices for meat, fresh fruit, vegetables, used cars and homes pushed the cost of living up again last month, although the rise was slightly less than the month before, the government said today. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the cost of living went up 0.2 per cent during June! compared to a 0.3 per cent jump in May. Supermarket food prices in June went up 0,6 per cent overall, reflecting what shoppers already knew meat and vegetable prices shot up sharply since mid-May.

Meat, pouliry and fish were up 1.3 per cent in June while fruit and vegetable prices were up 2 7 per cent. The food price increases were offset by declines in such other items as eggs, cereals, dairy products, and textiles. The June rise left the Consumer Price Index (CPI) at 2.9 per cent above one year earlier first time in more than four and a half years that the 12 -month change was a rise of less than 3 per cent. The report said the CPI went up at an annual rate of 2.2 per cent in the second quarter of this year, well below President goal of a 2.5 to 3 per cent annual rate of inflation by the end of this year. Consumer prices rose at a yearly rate of 3.6 per cent in the first quarter.
