PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, Jan. q
The flooded Ohio River, which
already has driven $4,000 persons
from homes along its banks and
hampered war industries, crested
tonight at IL feet from the top
Of a 62-foot wall protecting this
manufacturing city Of 40, 400
residents.

the river ceased rising at 60s feet,
SO feet above flood stage. They
said the flood probably would recede
slowly because Of a full river below

The men Of Portsmouth worked
into the night with Army troops and
Coast Guardsmen throwing sand
bags atop the wall which, back in
1886, kept the city dry during a dis
astrous flood that crippled Pitts
burgh, Wheeling and other cities up
and down the broad river.
Forecaster, John Hagan said at
Cincinnati that a lessening flow
from nearby tributaries was easing
the burden on the Ohio, and con-
sequently the stream would not ex-

one assumed too great an optimism,

New Flood Crests Surge
Down Oreqon River

PORTLAND, Greg, Jan. 2. tR.-
New flood crests surged down the
lower Willamette River today, car
rying ripped-loose log RATS, but
water receded in the upper valley
where the toll was six dead and
property damage was running into
many millions of dollars.
A wooden superstructure on a
dam at Oregon City collapsed,
dumping a river barge and tow
boat over the falls and permitting
a million board feet of logs to swirl
toward Portland where precautions
were taken to avert jams that might
damage bridges.
The Portland Harbor Patrol said
one or two log RATS containing a
million feet broke loose in the Salem
area and apparently passed Oregon
City during the night.
Another log raft made up of a
half million feet of lumber was re-
ported washed away from the Salem
area.
The Portland Weather Bureau
predicted the Willamette would rise
to 20.5 feet here late today or
tomorrow and flood lower piers.
Shipping companies were warned to
remove stocks and equipment from
these areas.

AoCarran said he agreed 1t Is not
the proper time at present to try
to put up permanent hospital build
ings and that temporary buildings
should be erected only where they
are absolutely necessary.
See Individual Action.
I'VE should use all available space
and put up only as much temporary
construction as Is eminently neces-
sary." he said. when the time
comes when critical materials are
available, then we should put up
better buildings. I know OF no place
where additional hospital facilities
are more urgently needed than
here"
After Tuesdays meeting. some
authorities seemed to think, the
problem will be one Of getting to-
sether and working out individually
the situation faced at each hospital.
IN each instance, the goal will be to
supply as many additional beds as
possible with a minimum Of con-
struction.
Mr., Maverick gave assurance at
the hearing last Wednesday that
hospital authorities would have no
trouble In getting priorities on beds
once they showed a disposition to
cooperate with the War Production

The white paper" shows that
Secretary Of State Hull minced no
words from the beginning in letting
Pierre Laval, Foreign Minister in
the Petain regime in 1910, know
what he thought OF him and his
"pro-German plans"
On November 4, 1910, Mr.. Hull told
the French Ambassador here that
we propose to be on our guard"
with respects to Laval-inspired acts
Of the Vichy government that might
aid Hitler's military activities.

he could add 236 beds there merely
by providing some means of heat
ing the porches and by making
slight alterations in the windows.
Call systems and other necessities
already have been installed and are
ready for immediate use, it was re-
ported.
Personnel Problem Great.
DR.. Finucane said yesterday 1t was
his opinion that. If more patients
were cared for there, installation of
thoracic surgery ward would be
advisable. This could be done 50
far as space is concerned, he ex-
planned, merely by placing side
walls on sundeck porches.
The principal objection to quar-
tering new patients at Glenn Dale,
as pointed out In statement to
The Star by Dr. George G. Rub
land, District health officer, is the
problem Of providing adequate per-
sonnet. Both transportation and
housing difficulties enter into this
picture.
DR.. Finucane estimates that ap-
proximately 80 additional workers
would be needed to staff of the 236
beds if they we're installed. This
extra personnel either would have
to be supplied with suitable living
quarters in the neighborhood Of
Glenn Dale or would have to COM
mute to their jobs. In the latter
instance, they would have to be
furnished adequate public trans
portation or have the way opened
for them to drive back and forth
by private auto.
Still another difficulty from the
personnel angle Is seen in the short
age of adequate help. Dr. Fnucane
reported yesterday that he already
had a number of vacancies in his
employe list at the sanatorium.
Conversion Held Easy.
Changes needed to convert Upshur
Hospital into an institution for
obstetrical cases could be accom-
plished without too much trouble
or too much expense" one of1icial
said. The chief alterations would be
those necessary to provide suitable
delivery rooms. When completed, it
is estimated the building could &C
commodate between 100 and 120 OBJ
stetrical patients.
This old hospital first was opened
in 1908 with facilities to care for
100 tubercular patients. BY 1914 the
demands upon it were so great that
it was necessary to construct num-
Der Of temporary buildings behind it,
After Glenn Dale was opened and
the Upshur building was closed,
there was some talk Of using the old
hospital as home at which to care
for convalescent tubercular patients
from Gallinger Hospital This
brought vigorous protest from cit
liens groups and other organiza-
tions. One Of the compliments was
st. Paurs Methodist Episcopal
Church. The church Board of
Trustees pointed out in January
1888, that the hospital was in a
first-class residential section and
that property values would be ad-
versely affected.

Prices
Continued From First Pase.)


Sc, 900, 100000 dollars by comparing
prices as they are with prices as
they might have been. The latter
inquire was computed on the basis
OF requests for price increases which
were refused or were set back and
In the light Of experience in the last
war.
Cigarette Case Cited.
For instance, an OPA Official ex-
planned that one cigarette company
had announced a projected increase
IN price which would have cost con-
sumers $142,000,OO0 year, had
1t been accepted by all companies.
The OPA stepped In to halt this
action.
Likewise, the Government has
been saved approximately $25, OOO,-
DOC, 900 because OF OPA actions lin
iting the price of things purchased
Tor war use. BY blocking a pro-
posed increase In the price of steel,
OPA saved the Government 500
1000 year.
Il know that every program un-
dertaken by the ONCE of Price Ad-
ministration imposes heavy burdens
upon individuals; upon corporations,
large and small; upon the butcher,
the baker and the candlestick
makers. But this is war. And that
war was made by Hitler. Hitler and
the Japanese are the enemy, Mr..
Henderson said.
Supreme Burden.
This same war imposes the SUI
preme burden upon those younger
citizens of this country now wear
ing the uniform of the United States
and they must face directly the most
brutal enemy of man in recorded
history. I have not heard them
complain and haven't heard that
any Of them has filed an Injunction
suit against his Government to re-
lieve him Of burdens incident to
war"
Mr.. Henderson predicted that
shortages, rationing and the con-
tinuing battle against imitation will
be the testing ground of the home
'front.' and urged civilians to shoul-
der their responsibilities.
THE question:" he said, lis not
whether we like rationing or price
control or rent control and all the
related disciplines we must impose
upon ourselves. The question is,
will we continue to make them
work?
Il believe we will. I have been
confident that the majority OF citi-
zens understands these problems
much better than many who do a
lot more talking than the majority. n

81, 100000 Objective In Local
Payroll Deduction Drive Looms
$500 War Workers At
tend Factory Rallies to
Hear Pep Speeches

Reports coming in to the Payroll
Servings Division Of the Third War
Loan drive from Waterbury en-
ployes indicate strongly that this
community will end the campaign
by having lent the United States
more than 100000 a month from
Its pay checks to back the attack
on the Axis and the men and wo-
men fighting for American victory.
This prediction was made today
by Payroll Savings Division Chair
man william v. Hawkes. who to-
gether with town chairman James
Moran has addressed more than
$500 industrial and office employees
Of local plants, members Of the
police force, nurses, city employees
and hundreds Of waterbury high
school students so far in the drive.
How Long?
We know we're going TO win this
war. The first question In all our
minds is: how long Is It going to
take?' Mr.. Hawkes. said today. ITO
back up our conviction that we shall
win, the people Of Waterbury and
It's environs are not relying on wish
full thinking. They are backing our
fighting forces by putting their pay
checks to work buying war bonds.
We know now that many Of our
thousands Of local employees have
doubled their earlier commitments,
"Employe spirit in waterbury Is
not merely fine. 1t is superb" Mr..
Hawkes. continued. "Mr. Moran and
I have not In single case been set
by an apathetic audience among all
the thousands of people we have
addressed. The people we've talked
to have indicated that they know
what war Is and that they are de-
termined there will not be one per-
SON fighting In our armed forces
who will lack the best equipment
In the world with which to fight
through to victorious peace.
I'VE hear there are other COM
munities where premature coraplac-
ency has appeared; where there Is
premature talk Of victory being in
the bag. That Is dangerous and 1t
Is not the Waterbury spirit. ! have
yet to talk to an employe here who
believes our individual job Of back
ing up the fighting forces will be
finished before the enemy Is fin
ally and completely beaten and be-
fore as many of our loved ones as
possible have returned home leav-
ing the world at peace.
Inspiration
1T has been a source Of the
greatest inspiration to me-" the
Payroll Savings Division Chairman
continued, shat so many thousands
Of our industrial employees, our
police force, our nurses, our city
employees and students recognize
their opportunity to share reSpon-
0bility with the fighting forces.
They repeatedly indicate that they
know the home front must go furth-
er even than financial support. Ger
tainly they are using their pay en-
velopes to buy bonds but they don't
stop there. They constitute them
selves committees Of one to urge
others to buy, to stop loose talk.
and to drown out all thought OF
the home front slowing up before
those on the fighting fronts have
completed their jobs. Time after

they are given another nourishing

Mrs. Garfield, assistant executive

utmost confidence in the outcome
Of this, the second annual drive.
She has pointed out that the pro-

time when I have left these mass
rallies, I have realized anew that
America can't lose this war because
too many Americans are determined
we shant."
Because of time needed for COM
putations after the close Of the
Third War Loan drive, the final
report on how many bonds will have
been bought here on the Payroll
Savings plan will probably not be
available until sometime early In
October, Mr.. Hawkes. said. He add
ed, however, that Waterbury's re-
cord will not even then be revealed
In its final scope as many employees
are planning to go right ahead
until the end Of the war increasing
their bond purchases. On the last
day OF the war, he predicted, Wa
terbury will know just how much
the community lent for victory out
Of its payrolls. His guess was that
