 IN CONN. VALLEY

MiddletoWn, Conn, July 23-(UP) -Congressman William M. Citron has received word from President Roosevelt that he is deeply inter- ested in the flood control problem in Connecticut Valley and eTnergen- cy relief money is ready to finance the preliminary study.
 The flood control problem was discussed yesterday by Congressman Citron and Gen. Sanford H. Wad~ hams, state water commissioner Four or five months of survey work are necessary before reconmenda- tons can be made concerning lo- cation and size of dams and soil conservation activities necessary to prevent future floods.
 A total of 9i20.000,000 was set aside from the billion and half appropriation for soil conservation and emergency flood control in the east, and from this fund the pre- liminary survey work is being fi- nanced, with no expense to the state. Under the Citron bill, the cost of actual work on the flood control project will be self liquidating, commission of states determining the benefits received, these states repaying on such Q basis. It is hoped the preliminary work will be ocm- pleted and plans made ready for presentation at the opening Of the
