ASKS HELP FOR
 . DEEP WATERWAYS
Kavanaugh Heads Delega- tiOn Before COngression-
 al Committee

Washington, April 16.-Immediate con gressional action to provide millions of dollars for the project of connecting the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico was urged on the Senate committee on com merce today by a delegation of the Lakes to-the-Gulf Deeper Waterways associa- tion, headed by President W. M. Kava- naugh of St. Louis.
 Isman Randolph and Lyman E. Cooley of Chicago and others pointed out that the Ohio, Missouri and Missippi valleys would be vastly benefited, practically in- estimably by linking the commerce of the inland waterways and the Panama canal, now approaching completion.
 MT. Kavanaugh told the committee that the people of the Mississippi valley for many years had been fighting for a II foot waterway. and that there should be deep ening of the channel instead of building up the levees.
 MT. Randolph, consulting engineer of the Chicago Deeper Waterways associa- ton, compared the reluctance to appro- priate for such a project. and the enor- mus expenditures for the Panama canal far from an American seaport He said the waterway would not divert the lake commerce to the canal and predicted that 1t would largely increase lake traffic.
 The hearing will continue tomorrow.
