BINGHAMTON, N. Y, August Is
President RooSevelts special train,
carrying him from an inspection of a
flood region at Binghamton to another
at Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Pa,
left here today at 1884 am. EAST
ern standard time).
President Roosevelt drove for so
miles this morning through river val
leys where food waters poured six
months ago and returned to his train
to talk over flood control problems for
Southern New York with State and
Federal officials.
Stop ut Dam Site.
Climaxing the automobile trip was
a stop at the site of a projected earthen
retention dam which would span the
valley of the Otselic River near Whit
ney Point. 1t would be the first Of
series Of proposed dams to hold flood
waters back from Southern New York
cities.
The Otselic Dam was described to
the President, sitting in an open car
on a hillside, as the key to prevent re-
currence of floods in Binghamton and
several nearby villages.
A row of white flags, staked out by
Army engineers, marked the point
where it would cross the valley, 66 feet
high. In normal times it would i'm
pound no water, but in flood seasons
spillway could be closed and 50 900
acre feet Of water could be backed UP
some Is miles.
Gen. Markham Present.
Maj. Gen. Edward M. Markham,
chief of Army Engineers; Col. Francis
Harrington, assistant w. P. A. ad-
ministrator. and Robert Fechner,
C. c. c. director, who were with the
President when he visited the Johns
town, Pa, flood district Thursday,
rejoined the presidential party here.
Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York
had accompanied the President on
the special train which brought him
overnight from Chautauqua, N. Y.
En- route from Chautauqua, where
he set forth last night the admins
tration's course on international af-
fairs, the President passed through
Southern New York counties which
have seen uncontrolled torrents strike
death and destruction.
Il am more concerned and less
cheerful about international world
conditions than about our immediate
domestic problems" Mr.. Roosevelt said
at Chautauqua.
"A dark, modern world faces wars
between conflicting economic and
political fanaticisms, in which are IN
tertwined race hatreds. .
Il wish I could keep war from all
nations, but that is beyond my power.
I can at least make certain that no
act of the United States helps to pro-
duce or to promote war"
ChautauQua offlcials estimated the
crowd at $4,000 and said it was the
largest "since Theodore Roosevelt
spoke here"
The President spoke from a plat
form which Gov. ALI M. Landon, Re-
publican nominee for President, will
