First Lap of Mississippi
River inspection.
BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, September 6.-Complet-
Ing the first lap of his inspection trip
OF the Mississippi River from the Twin
Cities to the Gulf of Mexico in arriving
here today. Secretary Of War Hurley
went by airplane tonight to his native
State OF Oklahoma for a few days rest.
Plotted by his personal Army pilot,
Lieut.. @. w. CouSland, the Secretary
took off for Tulsa, Okla. from East st.
Louis late today after luncheon given
him by the st. Louis Chamber of Com
merce and an inspection of the gitsnt
barge terminals on the river front on
the Missouri and Illinois sides.
National, Not Local, Project.
Speaking at the luncheon. the Secre-
tary appealed to st. Louis to regard the
Mississippi River development as a ma
tional rather than a local project and
one which would constitute a unified
national system rather than pork
barrel" situation along the vast rivers
system.
Our purpose in this development"
the Secretary said, lis to make every
Great Lakes port river port and every
Mississippi River port seaport by
linking in q unified system the lakes
and the river and it's tributaries.
1.-THE War Department, coming in
contact with more people of this coun-
try than any other Government depart
ment, is set upon mission of peace. 1t

to menace the peace of the world, but

this nation in system OF waterways
which will be of value to every type OF
producer. whether agriculturalist, in
dustrialist or business man."
To Retain ENGINEERS.
In response to an appeal by Walter
3. WeiSenburger, president Of the local
Chamber of Commerce for the con-
tinued services of Col George r. Spauld-
ing, division engineer of the upper Mis-
eissippi, Missouri and Ohio Rivers, the
Secretary asserted the engineers would
be retained in their positions until
their Jobs are done" The Secretarys
announcement indicated the long stand
ing rule for the change of engineering
ofiicers after they have served the regu-
lation four years on a project VIII be
changed to permit officers acquainted
with extensive projects to serve until
they have completed the work.
Col. Spaulding was designated earlier
in the day by the Secretary to inveSti-
gate allegations which had reached the
War Department that contractors to
whom the Government had let con-
tracts were reducing wages along the
river projects. At the same time the
Secretary ordered the Engineering Corps

mainder Of the present fiscal year OF

The attitude of the Secretary is that

for stock; and, the hay crop having
been less than a fourth normal, some
farmers who had no hay left from
last year are up against 1t already.
Many have already started cutting corn

four men who went calmly to
their deaths in the electric chair

murder Of cashier in a payroll
holdup three years ago.

and the 17-year-old sweetheart of
another, stood outside the prison

Victor Giampietro, said by au-

others, was the first to die. John
Murray, alias Frank McBrien,

and Joe Rado followed.
1t was the last wish Of the last

that because he had been an in

It has been pointed out that
the installation of an air-recon.

the House has almost eliminated
the possibility OF. the atmosphere

Capitol being such as to make
work impossible. The outside air
before entering the chambers and
