The United States brought an action against some three thousand (3,000) defendants to quiet title to water rights claimed to be appurtenant to lands acquired in 1941-1943 and used for various purposes of the army and navy and which, collectively, with additions from the public domain, will be referred to as “Pendleton.”

The history of this litigation appears in United States v. Fallbrook Public Utility Dist., D. C., 101 F.Supp. 298, 108 F.Supp. 72, 109 F.Supp. 28 and 110 F. Supp. 767.

The State of California was served as a defendant and appeared as intervenor.
