April 18, 1957 Two 'ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL U.S. Law Broken By Aqualantes, Says Anderson ed. Not Sure About Report U. S. Sen.

Clinton P. Anderson charged Wednesday that Tom Bolack and the Aqualantes have "apparently" violated federal law by failing to file lobbying reports with the Congress. Anderson urged that the reports on 1956 receipts and expenditures be filed immediately. In Farmington Bolack, said he fully concurred the senator that the reports should be filed and gave assurances that "we haven't tried to conceal anything." "This is the first time this has been called to my attention," said Bolack, "This will be cleared up. We want to do the right thing." Bolack pointed out that the Aqualantes reports on their activities.

"We've always tried. to abide by the lette. of the law," he comment-, Aqualante Treasurer Don Duggan, according to Bolack, "is not sure whether he filed a 1956 report or not." Then Bolack added, "I guess somehow we fouled up." The Associated Press and other news gatherers had reported Anderson as saying that he had requested a congressional probe of the organization but the senator Wednesday night denied he had made such a request. The Aqualantes, under the, chairmanship of Bolack, lobbied in behalf of the Upper Colorado River Storage Project which is now under way. Anderson recently lambasted Bolack for injecting the "nonpartisan" Upper Colorado project in hide congressional race against Democrat Joseph M.

Montoya whom Anderson supported. Bolack had based much of his campaign on his role in behalf of the project. In answer to the Anderson charge, the Farmington oil-gas producer said he was justified in doing so. "It's part of my record," he told the Journal. Anderson said he thinks the Aqualantes was a good organization "but the better the organization the more it should live up to the law," he declared.

Just Wants Reports Anderson said he has "no intention" of calling for a congressional investigation of the organization. "All I want are the reports," he told The Journal. The lobbying act requires the filing of quarterly reports by grew and lobbying provides groups with Con- fu or penalties of up 1 to $5000 in fines and one year imprisonment for violations of the law. Anderson, who helped lead! the fight in Congress for the passage of the Upper Colorado bill, said there should be no distinctions between groupsno matter how pure intentions might be. Bolack said he knew of various contributions the Aqualantes received during 1956, in-, cluding $25,000 from the state of Colorado and $5000 from New Mexico Economic Development Commission.

30 Boys Join South Branch Work Program Thirty boys, ages 12-14, have registered as "Sawyers" (Sum-" mer and Weekend Employment Service), and several persons have called in for these young workers, Kent Brandley, of the South Branch, manager, has reported. More registrations are coming in daily, he said. Using the philosophy of Mark Twain that what you want to do is play, the sters consider their work young: Brandley said. The boys do yard work, housework, wash cars and do other odd jobs. Brandley said that potential part-time employers should be aware that the boys have no training except that received at home.

He said they are good workers but cannot be expected to turn out a man's work and will require some supervision. But their work is guaranteed within reason.

It was while. he was free on $25,000 bond on this charge that he disappeared. Five months later the grand jury indicted him on the murder charge.

Central Faith Tabernacle presents THE ANNUAL FASTER PAGEANT "The Life of Christ" 8 o'clock April 14-18-19-20-21st 323 OAK SE Owing to the "magnitude" of the subject and the "wide diffenence of opinion" among the City Commission members on the Rio Grande Underground Water Basin, Commissioner Lars Halama has asked for the establishment of a water planning board to advise on water matters. Halama suggested the board be set up in much the same manner as the Airport Advisory Board to study the Underground Basin order and its ramifications and the Transmountain Diversion project, "which might not be a smooth operation either." He said he felt the water basin discussion at Tuesday night's commission meeting pointed' up "the lack of information the Commission has regarding water matters." No official action was taken, but Halama asked that each commissioner give thought to establishment of the board, its duties, and possible membership.

In the past, the city has had a water advisory board, created under an ordinance which gave it few duties and fewer powers. A new ordinance was proposed by the board, but it has never been approved by the commission. Home's Intruder Finally Seen minded with the exception of a possible two or three members."
