McCarran of Nevada are working to bring about an early agreement between summer residents on Lake Tahoe and drought stnicken Nevada, so that water can be pumped from the lake for irrigation and relief purposes.

After conferring with interior department and emergency relief officials until late last night, Gov- ernor Griswold is not optimistic over prospects of reaching an im- I mediate agreement. Can Order Pumping: He said a telegram sent Governor Merriam of California asking for his intercession has not ibeen answered and that his talks with Belief Administrator Hopkins might prove fruitless unless home owners on the California side of the lake will agree to permit the pumping of water with few, if any, restrictions. The governor did insist, however, that in his opinion federal officials can order the pumping of water with or without the consent of California residents. "iegal Technicalities" "I have talked with all interested officials in Washington," he said, "and my reaction has that the only'Uar iRrtKe'lmmediate settlement of the issues involved are legal technicalities.

U. S. Approval "Every major department in Washington, which has an interest in Lake Tahoe or Truckee river navigation, water conservation, or relief with which I have discussed the matter," he said, "has expressed approval of the immediate pumping of water from the lake if it will relieve drought conditions.

"Of course, I realize that residents on the California side ofr the lake have rights which must be respected, tout it seems to me sacrifices could be made on both sides in order to meet such an emergency as the drought has brought about."
