PRESIDENT VET0ES
BILL ON PLANNING
Assails Legislation for War
Department Control of
Flood Projects.
~ ths Associated Press

~ ths Associated Press.
President Roosevelt yesterday vetoed
. bill for War Department planning
OF flood control, power and conserva-
tion projects declaring he would pre-
sent to Congress next January
comprehensive national plan pre-
pared by all Federal agencies con-
cerned
The vetoed legislation, Mr.. Roose-
velt said. is out of line with his thor
oughly democratic proposal of June 3
To create seven regional planning
authorities. 1t would make the War
Department the national planning
agency, he continued, and ignore
initiation Of projects by local and
regional units.
Another reason given in his veto
message was that the bill provides for
no prior review of projects by the
President from the standpoints of
national budgetary considerations and
national conservation policies
The Presidents even-region pro-
poSal. under which as many boards
would consult local authorities and
submit projects for approval to the
National Resources Committee and
the President, still is pending before
congressional committees.
Referring to it yesterday, the Presi-
dent said:
Il expressed the belief that such
4 process OF national planning should
no hnt
initiation of planning work in the
State and local units. and that it
should contemplate the formulation
OF programs on regional basis, the
integration OF fiscal and conservation
policies on national basis and
the submission OF comprehensive
development program to the Congress
by the President"
He contended the reverse OF such
= process is prescribed in the vetoed
measure
Experience insufficient
While praising the Army engineers
Mr.. Roosevelt said their experience
and background are not alone suffi-
clent Tor planning q comprehensive
program for development Of all the
multiple uses of water.
The planning of the use and control
OF water and related sources" he said,
is distributed by law among numerous
governmental agencies, such as the
Departments Of Agriculture and In
terror, the Federal Power Commission,
the United States Public Health Serv-
Ice, the International Boundary Com
mission and the Tennessee Valley
Authority.
The joint resolution encroa ches
upon the functions OF these agencies,
and Ignores and duplicates the CO.

In NeU Victories

NEW YORK Q.NSJ.-Having
completed her 3Oth ascent in the
Canadian Rockies, Miss Georgia
Engelhard has Just returned to
her native New York after adding
SO peaks to her list in the Ban11'
Lake Louise area.
She managed also to score three
exceptional "first ascents" among
the peaks in the Freshf1eIo
Glacier group northwest Of Lake
Louise. She climbed Mt. Fresh
field 11,O 900 feet) and Prior Peak
10000 feet). each being thus con-
uuered by a woman for the first
time. She also scaled a 10,0O0-foot
unnamed peak in the reglon-tne
highest first ascent the Canadian
Rockies still has to offer. Her sole
reaction to these achievements is
a great impatience to return to
the region for more climbing.
Miss Engelhard began her as
cents in the Canadian Rockies six
years ago. In childhood she al
ways feared high places-pre-
ferred not to look down from the
roof of her home on Madison
Avenue.
She has also had two summers
of climbing in the Austrian and
Swiss Alps, but her major expert
ence has been in the Canadian
Rockies. Resuming her noun
taineering there in June, she
spent a few weeks in the Selkirk
Range near Glacier, B. c., packed
her supplies to Glacier Circle and
climbed outlook Peaks (8,500
feet). Then she scaled Mt. Top
han and Mt. Macoun, each by a
new route.
The rest Of her summer was
spent in Banff Park and in Yoho
Park.

Cochrane's Outlook
on Baseball Proves
Tragic Observation
g New York Post.-wNu Service.

TT HAD been good interview. We
i had talked about the pennant
race being between the Yankees
and the Tigers, two teams very
much alike in that sheer power IS
their reliance rather than pitching
cunning, Cleveland, we had decid-
ed, was good but not quite good
enough because the Indians never
had the extra zip which wins games
that are needed most. From there
the talk turned to the luck which
makes or breaks pennant contend
ers.
1--WE had it for years." Mickey
Cochrane said, land we won two
flags. Last year we didn't have 1t
and we lost. This year-well, we've
had a lot of hard luck but we've
stuck close. Who knows?" He
paused and raped carefully on the
wooden floor of the dugout.
"Who knows" he repeated. II
feel better'n have for four or five
wears. 1t looks like Rowe Is ready
to 20 for us and things are shaping
up. But" He paused again. well,
anything can happen in baseball"
That was two or three minutes be-
fore game time. In the fifth inning
Bump Hadley threw, a fast ball.
Cochrane stepped back. 1t was not
a bean ball, should not have hit
him. But when you have been in
baseball long while and have 9TH
er things on your mind you become
careless. The ball struck him on
the right temple.
Almost Immediately old-timers in
the press boz were heading towards
