Gonzales Joins In 'Opposition To
San Antonio Plans For Guadalupe

GONZALLS, Dec. 11.—A suit,,
filed against the State Board of!
Water Engineers by the city of!
San Antonio was viewed unfavor- ,
ably in Gonzales and other com-
munities along the Guadalupe riv-,
The- suit is an attempt to upset j
• state law forbidding diversion of [
sater from one watershed to an-
other. The av owed purpose of the j
action is to clear the u ty for a ;
study of the amount of water that ■
could be diverted from the Guad- j
alupe- river basin.
In an article ui the cit> edition
of the San Antonio Evening News,
which docs not appear in 'Gonzales ;
Martin C. Giese. ke, chairman of
the San Antonio Waft r Board said

VHopwash"
Henry Reese III. president of the !
Guadalupe River Watershed De-j
vclopnient Association declared in i
Gonzales. "This is one more at-
tempt by certain parties in San An- i
tomo to take water from the Guad-1
ftlupe River and transport it to j
San Antonio and its industries. The |
statement that this is a friendly j
suit . is pure hogwash.”
"Furthermore," Reese added i
•'The statement that no attempt top
take water already appropriated
would simply mean that there
could be no inn-ease in appropria-
tions by users along the river."
Reese added that to his know-
ledge, no attempt has been made
to contact the development asso-
ciation, although Thompson said
his board is trying to work out the
program with full regard for the
best interests of all concerned.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-UP —
Cotton-belt lawmakers Saturday
praised Secretary of Agrculture
Ezra T. Benson s request for a
3 million acre increase in 1954 cot-
ton allotments and predicted Con-
gress might go even further.
Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss.,
said Benson’s recommendation Fri-
day was "very timely." However,
he said Congress would probably
consider it a "minimum" when it
acts to increase allotments next
month.
Sen. Olin D. Johnston, D-S.C.,
said he was glad to see Benson
"going that far." But he thought
Benson's recommendation was
about 1 million to 1.5 million arcres
short.
Increase to be Asked
Benson said he will ask Con-
gress to increase the 7,910,448 acre
allotment now scheduled under
bu m law to about 21 million acres.
He said that much of an increase
would cushion the "impact" on the
cotton belt economy of "the pros-
pective cutback yet still reduce sur-
plus'.
Benson's recommendation rame
as farmers prepared to vote Tues-
day for or against the acreage con-
trol program next year. A two-
thirds majority is necessary to ap-
prove controls, but cotton farmers
have never turned them down.
Stennis had asked Benson to an-
nounce a definite acreage increase
before the voting so farmers would
know what to expect.
With average yields, a 21 mil-
lion acre allottment would produce
a cotton crop of about 11.3 million
bales! The 17.9 million allotment,
down about 30 per centt from this
year, would produce a crop of
about 10 million bales.
