Gen. Schley reported in detail on
progress Of the national program for
Improvement Of rivers and harbors,
and for flood control. He asserted
that the need for rapid construc-
ton OF sound flood control works"
was emphasized by the recent floods
in Los Angeles County and in New
England. ,
National defense was brought into
the discussion also by Representative
Sam Rayburn OF Texas, majority
leader. when the world is a little
bit ajitter," he said, the United
States should be prepared SUFFICIENT
ly to preserve, protect and defend
our liberty and rights against all
enemies, foreign and domestic"
He proposed that all dams for
flood control should all be made of
maximum size to serve also for
power purposes.
House Speaker William b. Bank
head welcomed the congress and a
letter of greeting was read from
Representative Joseph w. Martin,
jr., of Massachusetts,, the minority
leader, who could not attend, as he
had to be in Massachusetts today.
The Federal power should be su-
preme over States rights to protect
the country from floods, Representa-
tive William M. Wilmington, chair
man of the House Committee on
Flood Control, told the gathering.
Gov. Aiken Is Criticized.
Naming Gov. George D. Aiken OF
Vermont as the spokesman for
States rights, the speaker declared,
there Is State sovereignty but
there is also national sovereignty.
If flood control along navigable
rivers is a national problem to be
solved by the Federal Government,
it must follow as the night the day
that the Federal Government is
sovereign in the solution Of the prob
lem. Much hollow bombast
surrounds the alleged invasion of
States rights. = The issue is not
States rights, but the issue is
whether States prefer floods to reser-
voirs."
Senator Carl Hayden of Arizona
spoke on coordination of planning
for multiple-purpose projects. Rep
resentative Compton I. White Of
Idaho discussed development of the
WISER resources of the Columbia
River. The morning session was
called to order by Frank r. Reid of
Illinois, general convention chairman
and the presiding officer.
The question of how much. money
may be appropriated by this session
of Congress in the face of economy
demands was raised at the morning
session. Mr.. Driver complained that
apparently rivers and harbors were
being reduced at greater rate than
operating expenditures. While the
general budget reduction, he said,
was supposed to be about 10 per
cent under the economy program
he feared rivers and harbors would
suffer cut of 40 or so per cent.
Texan Urges Funds.
Roy Miller of Texas said that
while he was interested in lessening
the tax burden which lies heavy
on the backs Of our people, I have
always believed Congress should
make some distinction between the
ordinary running expenses of the
Government and investment in
these projects"
A long list Of speakers was sched-
uled for the three sessions of the
organization today-morning, lunch
con and afternoon. There will be
sessions tomorrow morning and
