ARMY FLOOD POLICY
Method of Compromising
Owners by FIoWage Rights
Purchase Is o. KID.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The policy Of the Army Engineers
In compromising property holders in the
Birds Point-New Madrid fioodway in
Missouri, through the purchase Of fiow-
age rights. vas upheld yesterday by At
torney General Mitchell.
In an opinion made public at the
War Department the Attorney General
declared this method Of compensation,
stipulated in the 1928 Mississippi River
flood control act, would not be changed
except by congressional action. He
said that President Hoover had no
right to alter the plan Of food control,
which was promulgated under that act
by Calvin Coolidge while the latter was
Chief Executive.
Commenting upon the opinion, Secre-
tary Good declared 'it Is the desire of
the administration to act honestly, lib
orally and promptly to settle the queS-
ton involved" in the Missouri floodway
and there Is no desire to take any ad-
vantage of the residents Of the district"
The plan Is to pay so much an
acre for damages by any possible food,
the Secretary said, while the owner
remained in possession Of the land. The
Army Engineers had set aside $500, 900
for this purpose. he declared, and the
land In the floodway comprised ap-
proximately 200 square miles. He added
that the land utilized for the building
Of the levies would be purchased out
right by the Federal Government.
