COST DEBATE
STALLS BILL
ON FLOODS
International News Service

A controversy over the Army
engineers plan to make States
share In the cost Of constructing
nood-control projects throughout
the inundated industrial East to
day delayed action on the $308,
100000 revised Wilson-Copeland
flood control bill.
The measure languished in the
Senate Commerce Committee
while members awaited a report
from Army engineers on proposed
new projects which link flood con-
troll to power development. Actu.
ally, committee action was delayed
because Of the fierce opposition de.
veloping against the Army'S rec.
ommendation that benefited
localities pay q share Of the con-
struction costs Of the proposed
projects.
Long Delay Seen
This opposition to the Army
plan was due not to objections
toward making local contribu.
lions to the life-saving projects
but because Of the difficulty Of
allocating local costs. Opponents
Of the plan charged it was aimed
at the industrial East, where
flood control projects are scat
tered over adjoining States and
where multilateral agreements
would be needed between various
States and cities before any pro
jet could be started.
Senator Davis (RO, of PennSyl-
vania, led the opposition. He de-
clared the recent floods in the in
duStrial East, which inflicted q
$500, O0O, 900 loss, had become q
national problem, requiring Fed
eral solution. He argued the
States and local communities we're
utterly unable to provide safe.
guards against future floods,
Davis said:
"TheSe industrial floods are
a national disaster. 1t is the
duty Of the National Govern
ment to correct the situation.
The National Government
should pay the full cost. It
would do the same thing II
q tidal wave hurled great
obstacles into the channels Of
the harbOrs in New York, New
Orleans or San Francisco. In
such event, the Federal Govern
ment would repair the damage
and ask for no local cOntribu-
tiOn."
COPELAND OPPOSES DAVIS
Senator Copeland CD of New
York. in charge Of the bill, while
not especially endorsing the Army
plan, declared it was fair and
right" to make benefititng COM
munities pay a part Of the cost.

Everett Gayhard, jr., made his
debut last night as piano soloist

movement Of Beethoven's Con

pianist won his audience by his

and careful technique.

Mr.. Gable and Miss Macdonald are
well cast for the leads, and there are
brief glimpses Of Shirley Ross, who
some how gets lost later in the shuf-
fie. The film Is .triiie long, but
otherwise elegant. And the fire In
ttf cool Palace Theater won't really
burn you up.
THE comedy at the Metropolitan
this week Is fine stun for Mary
Boland- Charles Ruggles fans. En-
titled EARLY to Bed" it shows Mr..
Ruggles' ardent 20 years wooing of
Miss Boland and how, when he finally
capitulates TO matrimony instead of
Juggling her OF to Niagara Falls, he
lands her ut hospital to get an order
for his famous eye firm. There he re-
veals to his bride that the reason
he postponed marriage for 50 long
was that he was q sleep-walker.
The sleep-walking disasters begin
to take their toll, when q solution Is
found, and the various other troubles,
such as pearl snatching, money steal
ing and such Like get their due.
A light comedy, full Of elegant Bo-
.landisms and Rugglesisms, it rises
to no particular heights, but remains
! at a nice chuckling pace, which should
satisfy any one who likes these par
ticular stars.
Excellent entertainment for tropi-
cal weather.

Antidote for Melted Mentality
in Heat Wave.
In these days, when the problem OF
getting butter on toast is enough to
snap the strongest minds, '"The Bride
Walks Out is the perfect sntidote
for melted mentality, mercury jitters
and heat waves before your eyes.
Light, cool and foolish, the picture,
which began q second week at R-K-c
Keith's yesterday. boasts few snow
scenes, a large splash Of chill and
acid humor to complete its stature as
the very modern model Of q model
hot-weather entertainment.
Far to fiimsy to be called treatise,
"The Bride Walks Out" nevertheless
discourses at random on the prob
lens of a pround young man, who
didn't want his wife to work, but ex-
pected her to keep q household well
stocked with sausage and champagne
on $35 q week, trick even the movie
heroine can't perform any more. The
hausfrau Is Barbara Stanwyck, the
burgher Gene Raymond. Most of the
sport in this reel emanates, however,
from Ned Nemonpuss) Sparks and
Helen Broderick, the gloomiest and
one of the most amusing comedy
teams in Hollywood. Robert Young,
at last released from the characten-
zation of the perpetual rover box,
also puts in a few worthy comedy
licks as q good-time Charlie in love
with Miss Stanwyck.
