WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-The
House Flood Control Committee to-
day reported favorably by vote of
II to comprehensive Mississippi
valley flood control bill carrying an
appropriation of $473,000,000.
The measure is the same as that
agreed upon earlier by the conf
mittee, providing full Federal pay
nent OF control costs except that
the Mississippi alone is provided for.
The committee agreed to eliIni-
nate provisions calling for a sur
vey OF other rivers and tributaries
and to bring in an amendment on
the floor including these streams.
A sum of $73,000,000 was added at
the last minute to the bill, which
previously contemplated spending
$400,000,000 on flood control over
period of years.
The bill also paves the way for
electric power development through
reservoirs constructed primarily for
flood control

OLYMPIC STADIUM WILL
 BE KEPT AS MONUMENT

AMSTERDAM, Holland, May 15 Finishing touches are being put on the new stadium built for the Olympic games. It is to stand permanently as monument to the new sports grounds which have been created on site which less than two years ago was a swamp covering 40 acres.
 A high wall of Dutch red brick sweeps in an unbroken line around the arena, measuring 2S5 by 1855 yards. At it's foot. a wide moat gives the while place some what the appearance of being on an island.
 In front and completely dwarf ed by this great wall are two new low-roofed buildings, one for box ing and the other for fencing. Apart from them and the square sided marathon tower the stadium stands out faced by paved court nearly as large as the Place de la COncorde in Paris.
 From 10000 to 50,000 specta- tors will be able to witness the games. There is seating accom- mediation for about 10000 per sons, more than half of which is under cover.

DERBY NOT TO RE
 4 ONE-HORSE RACE

LOUISVILLE, Ky. May 15- The 1928 renewal of the Kentucky Derby is by no means to be . one horse race.
 Of course the brilliant fall per formance of Reign Count has brought the Hertz colt to the fore as a favorite and many track followers are content to string along with the chestnut thorough bred. but others advance claims of various entries on a well founded basis.
 E. B. McLean's Time Maker is a horse almost as we'll liked as the Chicago entry. Time Maker is considered by many turf ex- perts as the stand out colt of the winter season. He is the grand son of the unbeaten Colin on his mothers side and great-grand. son of Ben Brush on his sire's side, a considerable pedigree to be seriously considered.
 Sortie, a bay colt by On Watch from Kippy by Broomstick, own. ed by A. c. Schwartz, is another one which bears watching. Sortie was late getting to the races last fall but when he did arrive he broke the track record at Bowie for a mile and TO yards, a note. worthy feat for a two-year-old.
 Dopesters. too. are taking few liberties with Harry Payne Whit. ney's Victorian, brother of Whis. kery, winner of the 1927 Derby In the Whitney band in addition are Agitator and Groucher, both quite capable of showing their heels to high class field
 Admiral Cary Grayson's import. ed colt, Strolling Player, is a half brother of Call Boy, winner of last years English Derby, and Strolling Player has displayed his worth on two or three occasions abroad. Sam Hildreth's Nassak is shaping up excellently for Derby honors and should Mrs Graham Fair Vanderbilt's Oh Say continue to train as we'll as in the past, the Vanderbilt horse will be strong Eastern con. tender.

EXTRA INNING GAMES
 RECALL 37-FRAME TILT

CHICAGO, May 15-Extra in. ming games have been common in the American Association race this season, but old timers never will forget the time Indianapolis and Minneapolis had to play 37 innings to decide one contest.
 It was back in 1913 and the game stood for a play-off fer four months.
 The first game was played on April 25, ending in a one-all tie in six innings when rain halted the fray. The second attempt was on June 15, when darkness stopped the game at the end of the ninth inning with the score to 6.
 On August 2, they tried once more to break the deadlock. This time darkness again interfered, in the thirteenth inning, with the score knotted at two each. The next day, however, the teams sue ceeded in deciding the game, the Millers batting out an Il to victory.

GAME TONIGHT MAY BE POSTPONED ON
 ACCOUNT OF RAIN

With rain falling almost con tinuodsly since Monday morning, and little hope held out for ces- sation this afternoon, it was vir- tually certain that the game scheduled for tonight between the Moose and American Legion teams in the City League would have to be postponed.
 Both of these teams won on the opening bill last Sunday. Their first meeting is expected to draw out big crowd. If to- nights game is postponed, under the rules of the organization it will be played off on the first evening that weather permits.

LOCAL RADIO CLUB
 WILL NOT GATHER
 IN SUMMER MONTHS

Meetings of the Juneau Radio Club have been postponed until sometime next September, it was announced following short meet ing of the organization held last evening in the Council Chambers of the City Hall.
 The reason given for the action was that with the arrival of sum- mer many owners of radio sets spent little time listening in, and as reception is poor in the sum- mer because of long hours of day light and frequent interruptions, it was deemed best to temporarily
 disband until fall weather sets in next September.
 Correspondence of the C,sb will be kept up during the summer months and officers of the group will keep things moving in order that they may be in readiness for a drive against interference when the Club resumes it's meetings.

Berlin. Sept. Fl (UP)-Fanned diligently by the Communist press and Communist speakerA the move ment for . referendum on the bat tie cruiser question is growing here. There is now every indication that before the end of the year the electorate will be called upon to decide whether Germany should battle cruiser, cruisers or any oth- CT vessels of war"
 This formulation represents a significant widening of the issue of the battle cruiser which lately caused such an uproar in the politi- cal arena here. The construction of the cruiser. 1t will be recalled. vas tentatively approved by the last Reichstag and some weeks ago finally sanctioned by the present cabinet. The Socialist members of the cabinet thereby incurred the criticism of the Socialist rank and file whose radical wing demanded their immediate resignation.
 But though the Socialist leaders succeeded in momentarily placating the indignation of their followers. they could not prevent the Com munists from seizing upon the well come issue. The original Commu- mist plan to restrict the referendum to the quNtion of the one disputed battle cruiser, was, however. found to be impracticable. because the cruiser appropriation is part of the budget on which only the president may order a referendum.
 Therefore the Communists adopt ed the new formula which. they assert, is admissible under the Con- stitution. Hitherto this question has not been settled. but jurists be- iieve that Carl severing, Minister of the Interior and himself Social ist and object of violent Commun- ist attacks, may in the end be forced to grant the demand for a referendum.
 The next step would be the col lection of signatures in support of the demand for a referendum. Ten per cent of the electorate or. roughly. 100000 voters signatures are required to carry the demand. There is no douot that the Com
