BY REX COLLIER,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

MEMPHIS, May "A far-reaching
national conference of Federal, State
and local authorities, with President
Coolidge as the opening speaker and
Secretary Hoover as presiding officer,
is being proposed here as a step
toward ultimate solution of the Mis-.
sissippi Valleys recurring flood prob
lens, it was learned today.
Plans now under discussion call for
a meeting in this city Of outstanding
business men, bankers, farmers, ma
tional and State legislators. Missis-
sippi River commissioners. noted
flood engineers, Army engineers and
representative interests, with view
to finding a means to insure the
South against future disaster at the
hands Of the unruly Mississippi.
The movement for such a confer
ence was gaining definite momentum
in this flood relief hub as a result of
a series of informal discussions among
civic and business leaders of the
devastated areas.
The proposal is in line with the
suggestion Of Senator X. d. Nickel
lar Of Tennessee that a congressional
parley be held in Memphis on June
1 for the purpose Of drawing legis-
lative measures to provide absolute
flood protection for the territory now
desolated or threatened.
The new plan, for which sentiment

con- to be given tomorrow shortly
before noon to a group Of Wash
ington women flying above the
city in the huge three-engined Ford
monoplane.
The luncheon has been arranged
as one of the features of the all
America aircraft display, which
opens at Boiling Field this after
noon. Mrs. Berliner will have as
her guests Baroness Won Undern,
Mrs. Benjamin Cain. jr; Miss Hazel
Priest and Mrs. Harvey 3. S. Bur
well, wife of the commandant Of
Boiling Field
Present plans call for the planes
take-off from Boiling Field, and
after it has achieved an altitude
of 5000 feet and settled down for
a cruise over the city, the luncheon
will be served and, it is predicted,
eaten.

was crystallizing over the week end,
would go much farther in scope than
that proposed by Senator McKellar,
however. 1t is the hope of those fos-
tering the movement to convene a
delegation of such national promi-
nence that the entire country will
"sit up and take notice" and that
public interest thus aroused will make
certain prompt and drastic action.
1t is understood that Secretary
Hoover will be asked to take the lead
in effecting such an epochal meeting
upon his return here this week. Prior
to taking the matter up with the
Secretary, sponsors of the proposal
refuse to be directly quoted with re-
gard to it.
The conference would not be held
until the immediate problems of res
cue, relief and rehabilitation now con-
fronting the valley have been worked
out. IT is the idea of its proponents,
however, to have the meeting called
as soon after the flood emergency
passes as is reasonably possible, so
that public interest in the catastrophe
will not have had time to turn to other
matters.
The psychologist moment for the
States bordering the Mississippi to
solve for all time the ever-present
flood menace along that great
meandering body of water has ar.
rived, it was pointed out.
The present flood has shown to the
world that the Mississippi problem is
