Committee Approves
River-harbor Work
OF S407,S55,600
Bill Voted by Senators,
However, Does Not
Appropriate Funds

Approval Of $407 ,855 800 In rivers
and harbors projects was voted to-
day by the Senate Commerce Com
mittee with recommendation that
the Senate pass the enabling legis-
lation. The figure represents a
generous increase over that ap-
proved by the House, the bill COM
ing to the Senate in the sum of
only 3,848 100.
The uplifting was done yesterday
by Senate Commerce Subcommit-
tee. Among the projects added at
that time and retained today by an
1l-to-5 vote was one of $4,000 900
for canal to connect the Tennes-
see, Tombigbee and Warrior Rivers
with the Gulf Of Mexico The House
had rejected this venture.
The full committee action TODAY
was on a voice vote with no record
taken. Later, Chairman Bailey told

AS now pending. the measure au-
thorizes 6l,186, 100 of navigation
projects. s87.439 500 of flood control
works and $l57 $50 900 of multi
pose projects designed for naviga-
ton, power production, flood control
and other purposes. 1t also carries
an additional authorization of ST.
600, 900 for flood control on the Sac
ramento River in California.
Army engineers, who approved the
127 undertakings authorized by the
legislation, said power production
was involved incidentally in six of
them, but was the prime purpose
OF none. There was no estimate of
the total amount of power that
would be produced.
The bill authorizes, but does not
provide actual funds for projects
In effect, it merely stamps the prof.
ects as worthwhile ones for Con-
gress to vote funds for at some
future time.
Senator Sheppard. Democrat, of
Texas, subcommittee chairman, told
reporters the amount of money in
volved in the legislation was mot
nearly SO formidable as the total
would Indicate because the bill
provides that no expenditures shall
begin until after the next fiscal year
and that no more than $50. 900 900
shall be expended in any one year
At this rate, he said, about seven
years would be required to complete
the program.
