:LONERCAN FIGHTS
 FOR FLOOD BILL
,l3-MilliOn Project for Con- necticut River Favored;
 Cites Receipts
Special to the Democrat

Washington, D. C., April 24.-- Lines were drawn here today for what may be an extended fight on the senate floor over the question of 3full federal financing of emergency flood control projects, including one for $13,373,000 on the Connecticut river.
 Senator Lonergan (Conn) al- though expressing hope that the senate commerce committee at it's meeting today to vote on the bill will favor full federal financing, said he was discouraged by previous votes in the committee which indicated that only few were favorable to completion of the projects unless there is some local assistance.
 The senator introduced into the record today tabulations showing heavy internal revenue and customs receipts collected from Connecticut as compared with federal aid ex- penditures received by the state which he said justified additional flood control outlays. He also made a strong appeal to the commerce committee to take favorable action and pointed out that even if every cent of the $13,373,000 were spent in Connecticut it would not bring the states ratio of federal aid assistance LID to what it should be. Most of the money, he pointed out, will actually be spent in other states along the Connecticut river where dams and reservoirs will be constructed al- though Connecticut will receive more actual benefits from flood pro- lection.
