Rep Dempsey and Senators Hatch Chavez and Arch Hurley sought speedier approval from the reclamation bureau, aiming to boost flood control irrigation and a steady water supply for Amarillo. Wool markets show modest weekly activity with steady to slightly lower prices, and broad quotations are provided for fleece and combing varieties across multiple states.

Arguments for Extending Navajo Indian Reserve
Albuquerque July 19 AP Passage of the Navajo reservation extension measure now pending in Congress would satisfy several objections to the move expressed by the land use committee of the state planning board. The bill would return to public use under the Taylor act about three quarters of a million acres of public domain and forego further allotment or homestead entries by Navajo Indians in New Mexico. It would consolidate state lands now checkerboarded and surrounded by Indian lands, increasing potential lease rentals to the state. Also 110 miles of roads in the area would gain federal maintenance, easing state and county costs.
