Budget Up, Tax Rate Unchanged California 'Wily' on CAP Bills By CLARENCE W. BAILEY THE 1967-68 City of Phoenix budget will be nearly $67 million, sources close to Mayor Graham indicated yesterday. The fiscal outlay this year is $60,020,000. "This year's budget will be presented without any raise property tax rate, or any further increases in sales taxes water rates," Graham said. GRAHAM also said the upcoming budget "does not contemplate any new increases in city fees or licenses that have not already been scheduled for adjustment." The city building inspection fees, which have been under study for nearly a year, are expected to be disclosed when the City Council adopts the new budget tentatively on June 6.

It is believed that the new fee schedule will enable the city to recover as much as 75 per cent of its inspection costs, substantially more than previously. Both Graham and City Manager Robert Coop indicated there will be "no surprises" in this year's proposed budget, whose second public hearing and final adoption will be on June 27. The new budget goes into effect July 1. LAST YEAR the announcement of the budget contained two sleepers disclosure of a water rate increase of about 24 per cent, and a new trash containment policy designed to eventually save the city up to $400,000 per year. "I have gone over the budget in its entirety and I feel that the city staff has done an excellent job holding down the cost of government in the face of rising costs of goods and other services," Graham said.

"The increased revenue necessary to cover the increases in the cost of government in 1967-68 arc covered by increases in the city's assessed property valuation through new construction." the mayor explained. IN ADDITION to the $2.3 million added cost of a per cent, plus salary increase for 4,500 municipal employes, which the City Council approved last night, Graham said there are four other principal reasons for the estimated budget increase: Expense of manning new city fire stations; cost of new city libraries: maintenance costs for these new facilities; and debt service (payment of interest and principal) on these new capital investments. "We have been able to hold down the cost of government by employing business-like procedures and by early planning of capital expenditures and increases in city services," Graham said. Don Dedera Eureka! True Elixir THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC Thursday, May 4, 1967 17 1 AM AT the awkward young for Copenhagen snuff and too old for LSD. But do not pity me.

I get mine, yet neither with a fix of heroin, nor with a sniff of glue, nor with an extract from 35 pounds of bananas. I'm hooked on chili, the psychedelic pepper. At this writing, not five paces from the typewriter, there is bubbling a caldron of Lt. Col. Elfren G.

Coz' fabout sopa patata con chili queso. The stuff is guaranteed to cure a hangover, drive away the blues, melt the of maidens, intensify the creative spirit, and fill any room with shimmering shapes and throbbing colors. Down Yuma way the other evening, I met Coz holding forth in what was laughingly termed "the hospitality room" of the 1st battalion, 158th Infantry, Arizona National Guard. Nobody has ever questioned the loyalty of the Arizona guard, but on purely mathematical odds, if Arizona ever has a military coup d' etat, this state is going to have a Mexican governor. Ole, ole! ANYWAY, COZ said, "Hey, chico, you want a little drink? Oso Negro? Bacardi? Mescal?" And I answered, "No, hombre, I got a mono on my back." Whereupon Coz said, "What you need is a cup of potato soup, Mexican style." He had it, all right, simmering on a sideboard in his suite.

The Starlight Motel and all of Highway 80 between Telegraph Pass and Winterhaven, smelled like Mexican soup. Wherever the Arizona guard goes, it takes a pack of Mananaland spices. In the Pacific in World War II, the Bushmasters ate C-ration tacos. During the Berlin crisis, they invented wienerschnitzel tamales. The trouble with the current war, nuoc mam is not hot enough.

"Magnifico," I muttered over the cup of soup. My eyes watered as the chili began to take hold. "How do you make this sopa suprema?" "What you do, you take a beeg, beeg pot," said Coz. "Into this pot you put a bone if you got one, but you don't have to have a bone, and water, and some chopped onions, depending how much you want to make and how much you like onions, comprende? Okay, then you fry some little pieces of bacon real creesp, and throw him in the pot. You put some salt in, maybe four times what a man needs before a shot of tequila.

"THEN, MAN, you cut up some red potatoes into little squares, mira? Maybe four potatoes for an Anglo family and eight potatoes for a Mexicano family, "and if you're making a pot for the freeloaders who come to your hospitality room, cunado, you keep a squad of privates peeling potatoes for a whole day. "Now you cook that pot a couple of hours, and not long before you are going to serve, you take a yellow. Mexican pepper about as big as your pulgar, and clean out the seeds, and mince it up fine, and sprinkle it 'into the soup. You also add a couple of manos of sharp, chopped cheddar cheese." The instructions have been followed exactly. The soup has acquired a golden surface.

The chili has been added. And now, the first taste. Such wild patterns! Time is standing still! Everything is twice life size! Life is a cloud, drifting in an endless sky! Such pyrotechnic thoughts! Such incandescent sensations! Next time, I theenk I use two chilis, eh, amigo Coz? Hodi Hodi to Head This Way Sunday NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) American skipper Luke Lane has set next Sunday at the sailing date for the 40-ton Arab dhow Hodi Hodi on a adventure voyage from Mombasa to Montreal and New York. The Hodi Hodi, built on lines identical with the dhows that have traded between East Africa, Arabia and India for centuries, is expected to take about four months on the voyage, planned as a good-will mission from Kenya to North America. Skipper Lane, from Tulsa, who has been producing film on such noted African leaders as President Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya, will be drawing on experience gained with the Navy in the Pacific in navigating on what is understood to be the longest voyage ever to be made by a dhow powered only by sail.

The route runs northward to the Red Sea and through the Mediterranean before the long sail across the Atlantic. Lane will be accompanied by Kenya author Anthony Hughes and a crew of 14 Bujani sailors. The Hodi Hodi will carry a 70-ton cargo ranging from canned tropical fruits to safari tourism books destined for Expo 67 in Montreal and finally New York. By BEN COLE Republic Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Arizona's senators yesterday charged California water interests were trying to get Congress to reverse the Supreme Court's historic decision in the Colorado River apportionment suit. Sen.

Carl Hayden, told a Senate hearing that the 4.4 million acre-feet yearly minimum demanded from the river by California would wipe out the legal victory won by Arizona in June 1963 after a 12-year battle. Arizona carried its case for Colorado River water to the Supreme Court in 1951 at the Insistence of the House Interior Committee. HURRY UP.

Dan Garvey and State Real Estate Commissioner Fred Talley are among those who loaned money to Senate minority leader Harold Giss without collateral, a bankruptcy petition by Giss showed yesterday. Also included in the $107,000 Giss owes in unsecured loans to 24 firms and individuals are amounts due retired Highway Patrolman Jack Hirsh and Giss' long-time Senate secretary, Mrs. Marion Dobson.

Meanwhile, Atty. Gen. Darrell Smith said it was his unofficial opinion that Giss, a Yuma Democrat, did not violate any conflict of interest laws in serving as a $600-a-month consultant to the McCulloch Corp. for the past four years. This firm has had many dealings with state agencies in connection with its Lake Havasu real estate development.

"I cannot see there has been any violation of the statute," Smith said. However, he said he will delve into the matter more deeply and issue a formal opinion if Giss follows through on his statement that that he will seek Smith's opinion on the matter. Giss filed for personal bankruptcy April 18 in the U.S. District Court in Tucson. He told newsmen he had spent so much time working for the state that he let his Yuma clothing store go under.

The McCulloch fee showed up among income and the loans among liabilities in the federal court petition. Court records show that Garvey loaned the senator $5,000 in 1963 and that the debt is still owed. Garvey said Giss gave him a note on the loan. Democrat Garvey served as secretary of state from 1942 to 1948 and then as governor from 1948 to 1950. He was named state examiner on June 18, 1956.

Ex-Gov Paul Fannin, a Republican, tried to replace Garvey in March 1960 with Tucson businessman Arthur Pacheco, a Republican, but the Senate refused to confirm Pacheco. Giss was then majority leader in the Senate. Giss also was chairman of the state institutions committee which denied confirmation of Pacheco. He said on that occasion: "It has always been my position that if the governor makes an appointment, and the man is qualified, he should be confirmed. But there is an exception to the rule.

"Here is a man (Garvey) with a background in accounting prior to becoming secretary of state, and he is a former governor. Isn't there a place where partisanship should cease?" Fannin said he was just trying to get a younger man in the job (Pacheco was then 56, and Garvey was 74). He said his man majored in accounting, adding, "It apparently is purely a matter of politics and I resent it very much." Garvey remained in office because a replacement had not been appointed and confirmed by the Senate. Then former Democratic Gov. Sam Goddard reappointed Garvey in 1965.

Garvey, reached at home yesterday, said Giss' role in blocking his potential successor's appointment was not involved in the loan. He recalled that Giss came into his office around Christmas of 1963 and said he needed money to pay his employes. "I let him have it," Garvey said. ''He and I bad been friends for years." Talley, who holds his office virtually for life after appointment by the State Real Estate Board, loaned Giss $2,000 in 19fi3 without a note. He said Giss made several trips to his office that year, but he said Giss only discussed the Lake Havasu real estate plans (Continued on Page 19, Col.

BRITISH TO DEMONSTRATE LONDON critics of the Vietnam war will demonstrate throughout the country for nine days in late June and early July, Lord Brockway, chairman of the British Council for Peace in Vietnam, said yes- terdav. "The people of Arizona must look solely to the Colorado River system for their water needs while the citizens of Southern California look not only to the Colorado River and the abundant water in the northern part of their own state, but to the entire Pacific Ocean," Hayden said.

As it continued its weeklong study of five bills to authorize the Central Arizona Project, the Senate reclamation subcommittee listened to details of a proposed 5-million kilowatt hydroelectric plant at Bridge Canyon. The $728 million plan was conceived by Floyd L. Goss, chief electrical engineer for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. He disclosed it for the first time a month ago during the closing hours of the House reclamation subcommittee hearings on CAP legislation. The Goss plan would use giant turbines to produce a huge amount of peaking energy.

Private, public, and federal investment would reduce the share of the cost borne by Washington. Sen. Henry M. who with Sen. Hayden and Sen.

Paul Fannin, proposed a Central Arizona Project without further dams in the Colorado River, severely questioned the Goss proposal. He noted that the full capacity of the Bonneville power system has not yet been sold in the Pacific area. Sen. Thomas 11. Kuchel, R- defended the plan, drawing from Goss the statement that, as proposed, it could not be built until the secretary of interior contracted for all its power output.

Goss proposed authorizing the project conditionally while its feasibility is determined by the Reclamation Bureau. Jackson scoffed that it is hard enough to pass bills authorizing feasibility studies without encumbering a measure with conditional authorization. The old Arizona California hostility surfaced again as Northcutt Ely, the longtime California water lawyer, demanded a 4.4-mi'llion acre-foot yearly minimum from the Colorado River. "You're still saying Arizona is the one state that must give up water," Fannin said. Recalling that Californians appeared amenable last year to a 2,500 cubic foot per second aqueduct for the Central Arizona Project, Fannin inquired if Ely would accept the proposed 3,000 cfs aqueduct.

"Would you support 4.4V" Ely fired back. "We had a bargain last year. 1 am trying to find out if you are trying to i Continued on Page 18, Col li Trade Fair To Be Held By Indians KID'S DAY and the dedication of a new community sports center mark the opening today of the National Indian Trade Fair on the Salt River Reservation.

IS f-4 HOlO SHARPER THAN A 6ERPENT5 TOOTH A SISTER'S By JAMES E.

COOK CORPORATION Commissioners voted yesterday to retire two Stale Insurance Department workers and set the stage for the mandatory retirement of the department's deputy director next month. The minor purge was a result of the commission's takeover of the subsidiary department, decreed by a recent State Supreme Court decision. But the feud between Commissioner Richard Herbert and Insurance Director George A. Bushnell also figured in the retirements. HERBERT and Commissioner Milton Husky voted to retire Mrs.

Olive Bennett, supervisor of licensing, on her 65th birthday today. Chairman I Williams Jr abstained from voting. All three commissioners voted to retire printer Harry Davis, 66, because of his age. His wife. Ivola.

60, also a department employe, will succeed him in the job Herbert moved to retire Clarence W. Lord, 72. Bushnell's chief deputy, but there w'as no second. Instead, the three commissioners voted not to apply for another waiver of the state's mandatory retirement ruling when Lord's present waiver expires June 30. State law provides that anyone more than 70 ithe manda- tory retirement age; may obtain a waiver from the governor if hi.s "appointing authority" feels he should be exempt because of his qualifications for the job.

Busline 11 had obtained a series of waivers tor Lord.
