Udall Seeks 5 State Agreement On Water Development Plan a By Edward H. Dickson McClatchy Newspapers staff writer WASHINGTON A move was under way today to get California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah I behind a comprehensive water development program for the benefit of all these states.

Secretary of Interior Stewart L. Udall announced the creation of a special task force to develop a plan and asked for the cooperation of Governors Edmund G. Brown of California, Paul Fannin of Arizona, Grant Sawyer of Nevada, George Dewey Clyde of Utah and Jack M. Campbell of New Mexico. The departmental task force.

will be headed by Assistant Reclamation Commissioner William I. Palmer, will be composed of interior department employes acquainted with such problems as irrigation, ground water, fish and wildlife and desalting of water. Udall wants a report, by August 15th which be reviewed by the states with the view of submitting a legislative plan to congress the new session starting in January. Udall also asked Governors Brown, Fannin and Sawyer Sotheby's Gem Sale Sets Another Record LONDON-UPI-Sotheby's auction firm chalked up its third straight million dollar sale with another world record. A sale of jewels brought a record total of $1.2 million, including $98,000 for a 19.9 carat diamond and $84,000 for an emerald and diamond clip.

Earlier this week a sale of French impressionist paintings from various collections reached a total of $1.4 million. The night before, the firm set a world record for a sale of modern paintings by selling the William A. Cargill collection for $2.9 million. to meet with him here on July 15th to discuss how to apportion water of the Colorado River during dry years. The United States Supreme Court in its recent decision on the Colorado River controversy between California and Arizona ruled that the secretary of the interior should make water allocation in short water years.

While the basin development plan is of prime importance to Southern California it has interest for Northern Cal. ifornia, too. Any water developed in California, aside from that produced by saline conversion plants, would have to come from the north. Northern interests will watch the development of the program with high interest to see they are not deprived of water they may future years. But at the same time, it has been pointed out, an overall program would give water to both Southern and Northern California.

Udall said he and Undersecretary of the Interior James K. Carr will personally participate in formulating the program to be developed by the task force. Udall advised congress in January that a program should be developed which would make for the more efficient use of water in the lower Colorado River basin, the construction of new projects where water is in surplus and the production of fresh water from saline conversion plants. He suggested that additional fresh water might be brought to Southern California from Northern California streams such as by the development of the Eel River, possible expansion of the State of California's Feather River Project and by other means. The two top interior department officials stressed, however, that a thorough study should be made of the water needs of Northern California before plans are made to export water to the south.

They declared that financing of the new works would have to come mainly from the sale of electric, power and municipal industrial water users rather than irrigators. Udall's action brought praise from John E. Moss of California's third, Sacramento County, district, but he made it plain he would oppose any program which would deprive Northern California of water for its present and future needs. Moss expressed confidence a program protecting the north could be developed. He said: "I am glad to see this action by Secretary Udall.

His proposal for a regional water development appears to be the only satisfactory solution to this long standing problem. "The United States Supreme Court decision, even though it is favorable to Arizona, does not make any more water available to the entire Pacific southwest. "The pressing needs for water are increasing each year because of the unprecedented growth in population in Arizona and Southern California. "California, Arizona and Nevada have a tremendous stake in achieving an equitable and final solution to the water storage problem. This solution cannot too longer be delayed." Mrs.

Dial AM 8-5221. Realtors Fight Forced Home Sales To Negroes WASHINGTON AP The National Association of Real Estate Boards has gone on record as objecting to any state or federal effort to force property owners to sell to Negroes against their will. Speaking for its 74,000 members and 1,455 local boards, the NAREB restated its traditional position that if a property owner objects to selling to a Negro it is not up to the realtor to try to change his mind. This was in a series of major policy statements adopted by the NAREB directors in connection with a "property owners Bill of Rights." Pressures In States Reacting to growing pressure by the federal government and many states for an end to color bars in housing, the national organization of real estate brokers said: "Realtors may properly oppose any attempt by force of law to withdraw from property owners the right freely to determine with whom they will deal with in respect to their property, irrespective of the reason therefore. President John F.

Kennedy's executive order on housing last fall, for the most part, did not affect the area where realtors mainly operate the resale of houses by private owners. It affected primarily the initial sale of federally financed or insured housing. However, a NAREB spokesman said there is a growing concern among members that state laws soon will enter this field. He noted a New York law which will go into effect soon will apply to the resale of private residences. Reserves Right The new policy statement by NAREB did not back off from the position stated earlier this year in a new volume of the organization's code of ethics that it is permissable for a realtor to make a sale to a Negro in a white neighborhood, It repeated the view that "each realtor should feel completely free to enter into a broker-client relationship with persons of any race, creed, or ethnic group." However, it said, realtors, as agents of the property owners, "have no right or responsibility to determine the racial, credal, or ethnic composition of any area or neighborhood." The statement declared a property owner should have the right to specify any terms for the sale he sees fit and the realtor has the duty to adhere faithfully to these terms.

NAREB condemned "blockbusting" and "panic" selling in neighborhoods undergoing racial transition. It said a realtor should reject any attempt to buy or sell property by conduct "intended to implant fears in property owners based upon the actual or anticipate introduction of any racial, religious, or ethnic group into such areas." It asserted the home owner's rights include: The right to occupy and dispose of property without governmental interference in accordance with the dictates of his conscience. The right of all equally to enjoy property without interference by laws giving special privilege to any group or groups. The right to determine the acceptability and desirability of any prospective buyer or tenant of his property. "Loss of these rights," the NAREB said, "diminishes personal freedom and creates a springboard for further erosion of liberty." St.

Skies were clear in the southeast and in the middle and upper Mississippi Valley and partly cloudy in most other parts of the country. Temperatures were a little higher in most areas than 24 hours carlier. The 50s were confined to the central plateau region and from North Dakota through the northern Great Lakes and the north Atlantic states. The 70 and 80s were general in southern Atlantic states westward through the and southern plains and into the central southwest. The 60s prevailed in most other sections.

The mercury soared to 103 in Russell, vesterday and reached 100 degrees and higher in many cities in the south. Thunderstorms brought temporary relief from the heat in some sections.

Slightly, warmer Bay Subway Boring May Avoid Surface Cut By Leif Erickson SAN FRANCISCO AP The testing of new subway tunneling machinery which could avoid tearing up downtown areas in San Francisco and Oakland holds top priority today in the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District's first project engineering budget. "There is the brightest promise that the very modern technique of tunneling now available will prove feasible to do what we want," declared J. E.

Everson, project director for the district's engineering consultants. If the new machinery proves out, great savings in time, money and inconvenience will be achieved as compared to conventional cut and cover subway construction, Everson told the district's board of directors. The new tunneling techniques may be adapted into machinery specially designed by the district's engineers for the 16 miles of subway and tunnel work included in the $1 billion, 75 mile rapid transit system scheduled to begin operating in 1967. Everson submitted to the board a $3.5 million engineering budget covering the last six months of 1963 for work beginning July 1st. The budget assumes that cash will be available then from the sale of bond anticipation notes.

"It assumes that actual bond money will be available by January 1st for full scale work," Everson said. The first sale of bonds from the $792 million issue authorized in November by San Francisco and Alameda and Contra Costa County voters was delayed by a court suit challenge. The district finally won complete in the injunction suit victory, Everson said the new tunneling machinery first will be tested in Berkeley's Shattuck Avenue subway and Oakland's Eighth and Fallon Streets way sections. The underground work here will be simpler than in the multi level structures required under San Francisco's Market Street and Oakland's downtown areas. "We will find out the feasibility first in relatively small and simple subway sections," Everson said.

"We will have the chance to learn as we go along. If the machinery doesn't work, we will just have to go back to conventional cut and cover on the big jobs." The Berkeley Hills tunnel the system's Oakland to Concord line and the 4.4 mile test track section between Walnut Creek and Concord will get priority attention in engineering design work the rest of this year. A $4.8 million federal grant has been asked for the test track section which will be used to try out the most modern lightweight cars, electric propulsion equipment and electronic operating controls. Contract commitments for equipment will have to be made about 18 months in advance of required delivery. The first two and a half miles of test track should be completed by mid 1965, Assuming the sale of the first $50 million in bonds in December, the budget estimates a total outlay of $35 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1964.

It would cover $10.5 million in engineering work and allocate $20 million for right of way acquisition, Everson explained the first six month budget included no commitments on the 4.4 mile transbay tube to link San Francisco and Oakland. The legislature is considering a bill defining the authority of the state department of public works and the transit district over this construction to be financed with $133 million in bridge toll revenues. 8.
