NezV Flood ACt Federal Government Would Do All Work at Same Time Would Control Entire Project, Including Right to Power Development
HARTFORD TIMES.

Whether flood control in the Con- necticut valley is brought measure ably nearer through the adoption yesterday in the senate of amend ments to the general flood control bill, remains to be demonstrated.
 As the situation stands, the sen- ate has provided that the federal government shall pay the complete cost of projects, including dams and reservoirs. That, of course, vests title to such works and their sites in the federal government. To do so, disposes of the power question. With federal ownership would go control of hydro-electric develop ment.
 If this bill becomes law it ob- viously ends the effort to obtain flood control through such existing

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, June 15. - Are you headed for New York this summer? If so, here is hurried guide to the current settlements.
 Along the Rialto, the show worlds stellar exhibit is the new musical, Married an Angel which is classified in Broadway parlance as a smash hit," and George M. Conan is going to be around here in that political song and dance, "I'd Rather Be Right, until mid-July.
 Bachelor Born" is an amiable comedy from Britain, "On Bor- rowed Time" is winning enter tainment. and we will have the Pulitzer prize winner, Our Town, T all summer long.
 Miracle Man George Abbott's two hit comedies, Room Service and What 8 Life," will be with us through high Fahrenheit, and Marc Connelly's new offering Two Bouquets" will be avail able to those who prefer quiet charm to turbulent high-jinks.
 Also on the theatrical agenda: Shadow and Substance"
 and interesting; "Whiteoaks," with Ethel Barrymore portraying a cen tenarian; "The Women; "You Can't Take It With You," and that old perennial, Tobacco Road'( 5tf consecutive yea).
 Al Fresco Cafes
 All the sidewalk cafes are flour ishing. Our favorite is the Prone. made Cafe in Radio City which looki as though it came out of a Holly wood Super-colossal.
 For altitude views: the topmost stories of Rockefeller Center, tht Empire State, Chrysler and Wool. worth Buildings. There are elab' crate restaurants on all these lofty perches.
 The Marine Roof atop the Hote Bossert in Brooklyn, and Ber Marden's Riviera, just across th' Hudson River, offer the town: most magnificent waterside vistas
 Reckoning night clubs nigh include the Stork Club, Jacl Whites "18" Club, Fl Morroccol Leon and Eddie's and La Conga Also Billy Roses Casa Manana the triple-decker International Ca sino and the Paradise Cabaret = the three gigantic cafes along tn main stem. And for view of tn town from 8 quiet distance, thos excursion boats plying up and dow the Hudson from the Battery.
 For a perusal of New York vehicular wonders, we recon mend an auto ride through tn Holland and Lincoln Tunnels across the George Washington and Tri-Borough Bridges, alond tn Hendrick Hudson Parkway, the ne of streamlined roads that span Long Island, and the elevated ex press highway that parallels Man hattan's harbor. For adjacen sightseeing: Jones Beach, Cone, Island and the preview grounds o the New York Worlds Fair a Flushing Meadows.
 Central Park, Prospect Par and the newly reconstructed parl paradise along Riverside Driv are the peaks of New York's pas toral achievements, and we sug gest visits to the Tavern on tn Green and the Claremont to thos who would like to see how beautiful city-owned cafes can be.

Selected Poem
OPEN WINDOWS
(Elaine " Emans in the Christian Science
 MOnitor)

(Elaine V. Emans in the Christian Science
 Monitor) Wide open windows are so beautiful, Letting the garden in, and morning sky Shut not the glass against the world, nor pull The shade or drapery. This house and Would drink our fill of glistening fragrant day. Of aria of bird, and, glad and clear, The barking of dog and love the way The hills beyond the valley come strangely near. So beautiful are open windows, all My mind shall know them too, and morning sun Of radiant hope and love and trust shall run Throughout my thinking. These long-shut and small And dinlit rooms have urgent need of knowing Their windows opened wide their curtains blowing!

Conquers Stammers, 2-1,
in CIincher as Wightman
Cup Is Retained.
By the Associated Press.

WIMBLEDON, England, June Ii
The United States exerted its monop-
oily on the Wightman Cup for the
eighth consecutive year today, when
merciless Helen Wills Moody froze out
Kay Stammers in the deciding match
OF the two-day international tennis
series, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
The final score was S to 2. But
after Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of
Boston had defeated Margot Lunb,
ST, 6--2, 6-3, and Helen had beaten
Miss Stammers. the last two matches
merely were exhibitions.
In the third singles match, Alice
Marble whipped Peggy Scriven, s-3.
3-6, 60, and in the concluding
doubles Joan Ingram and Evelyn Dear
man won from Mrs. Moody and Dor
othy May Bundy, 60, IS.
High spot of the day was Miss
Stammers' fight against Mrs. Moody.
This was battle of Mrs. Moodv's
style and experience against the cour-
age and tacics of the petite English
southpaw.
Kay's Strategy Works.
Helen took the first game on Kay's
service, lost the second, then ran away
with the set at 6-3 But Miss Stam-
mers, gradually getting used to Mrs
Moooys pace, finally developed a cum
ming drop shot and from then on it
was battle.
In the second set Kay kept Helen
racing in after these tricky, spinning
teasers and. while she lost nearly as
many points as she made with the
shot. she did manage to break UP the
rhythm OF Mrs. Moody's game.
Miss stammers broke through in the
sixth game, then kept humping fore
hand drives back at the American
veteran and won the set, 6-3.
Helen Little More Brilliant
Helen got long rest because of
the rain before the final set and, when
play was resumed, took 20 lead
Again shower stopped play. and this
tlme Miss Stammers came back with
some of the finest driving of her ca
reer. But no matter what miracles
she produced, Helen always could
conJure up one more, and she won the
set, 6-3, and the match.
Thus, in her first cup competition
since 1882, the 33-year-old Californian
gained two of the four United States
singles points.
Another feature of the long after
noon was Mrs. Fabyan's fight to over
| come the courageous Miss Lumb after
losing the first set. Here, too, 1t was
game of tactics, with the Boston
girl resorting to mixture of lobs and
dropshots to wear out Miss Lumb.
Miss Marble, after her disappointing
showing against Miss Stammers yes
terday, came back to something like
her old form to beat Miss Scriven.
She lapsed in the second set, only to
recover and breeze through the last
at 60.
