English: DESCRIPTION
A similar photograph appears with Los Angeles Times article, March 11, 1934, "Army Scans Dam Site, Arizona Soldiers Visit Scene, First Report from Seat of Two-State Dispute Sent to Phoenix, Military Party Movements Made to Halt Asserted California Invasion." Arizona soldiers … made their first soldierly observation of what is going on there. Tonight the first report of what the soldiers saw went forth in a formal report transmitted from their temporary camp there at Parker via their portable radio to their armory at Phoenix. … Caption reads: Messages from the front. Here is Sergt. Ernest Mendoza as he radios the latest events from the Colorado River front to Gov. Moeur at Phoenix over a portable set in a Parker hotel room. Advices from Phoenix, however, are to the effect that all the Governor is receiving are strange sounds, but then that may be a new code, who knows? (Times photo) Ernest Mendoza, in uniform and headset, standing at portable radio setup arranged on dresser with mirror In 1934, with plans in place for United States Reclamation Service and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to build Parker Dam on the Colorado River between Arizona and California, Arizona governor Benjamin B. Moeur protested the diversion of water to California by sending members of the Arizona National Guard to the dam construction site. A local ferry service also participated under the informal name of the Arizona Navy. CAPTION Text from nitrate negative sleeve: (unidentified) |
