A loud, century belated, noise arises
about infringing states rights. The
army engineers put forth a plan that
springs from many years of surveys and
measurements of flow, for a series of
dams on the Missouri and Yellowstone.
Our powerful Governor bewails its en-
.croachments on states rights The engi-
.neers' plan is to foster irrigation, gener-
ate power, stabilize the lower river for
steamboats,. Until the Fort Peck Dam the
Missouri was navigable to Fort Benton,
the Yellowstone to Terry; above the dam
steamboats, may yet ply Since Jeffer-
sons administration the U. S. Supreme
Court has held, under the interstate com
merce clause of the Constitution, "All
navigable waters are under the control
of the United States" Why the recent
iunket of the Governor which was pub
licised in Montana but incognito in
Washington to whine against vast in
terstate improvement as being against
states rights?
one reason was to forestall competi-
ton with privately owned utilities. An
other was to stir up with the unthink-
ing, hostility against the one man in
the White House that has done more for
farmers, workers, small home owners,
than any other president; to cripple his
arm from striking down the political and
international power of the munitioneers
after the war.

ton of changing the plan (or the law)
about the Missouri, than Wheeler now
has of ironing out our differences with

that the United States government shall
not create any demand on the water re-

to production and that industry wants no part of it." The cham Der added that forced labor actually might retard rather than aid the war program.
 The Knox-Stimson-Land state ment came shortly after the House Military Affairs Committee accused the Armed Forces of failing to CO., operate in channeling 4-F regis trans into the war effort and again recommended specific steps to force them into war supporting activities.
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, did not comment on the statement but expressed surprise that the ad- ministration did not make it's appeal to his committee, ''as is the custom" rather than to the public.
 Costello, however, declared that the authority to accomplish what is necessary is already there"
 No legislation is likely to be enacted" he said. Both the Army and Navy realize that legislation cannot be possibly enacted in the present Congress to realize cornpul- sory labor. The program outlined by the committee is the only solu- tion."
 That program recommended that 4-Fs in essential industry get cer- tificateS of approval from local draft boards and those in noneSSential jobs be required to notify their boards of willingness to accept war work or be made subject to induc- ton.

 Washington, April 21. - CUP)- Congressional leaders remained gen. orally cool to national service legis- lation today despite new adminis- tration warning that it was needed urgently to protect war production against draft calls expected to take 1, 400, ,0O0 or more men this year.
 Typical reaction was that of Rep- resentative John M. Costello, D., Cal, chairman of Military AL fairs subcommittee on draft mat ters, who said the administration already had enough authority to accomplish what is necessary" Ii it would only choose to use it.
 The plea for a limited national service or labor draft law came from Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son. Secretary of Navy Frank Knox and Maritime Commissioner Emory s. Land after meeting with repre- sentativeS of the U. S. Chamber ot Commerce and the National ASSo- citation of Manufacturers.
 They favored legislation authoriz- ing voluntary recruitment as a pre- liminary measure but invoking draft principles if and when needed tc provide manpower for essential tn- dustries
 The Chamber of Commerce and the NAM. however. disagreed NAM president, Robert M. Gaylord. Saio national service would be disastrous

Allies Drive Jops oHiIIs
By WALTER LOGAN

United Press War Correspondent)
 Allied Southeast Asia Headquar- ters, Randy, Ceylon, April 21-(UP) Allied armored forces, counter-at- tacking furiously in an effort to smash the siege of Imphal, have driven a Japanese invasion column into the hills 30 miles northeast of the city, a communique said today.
 A number of enemy strongpoints in the hill area were captured by the attacking British Imperials yes- terday and "our advance continues" |" the communique said.
 The Allied units apparently were striking over a hill trail linking Im- phal with Ukhrul and the commun- ique indicated they had penetrated to within about 10 miles of that town.
 There was no word of further &C., tion southwest of Imphal, where AL lied and Japanese troops had been battling for control of hill position overlooking the Bishenpur- -Silchar road.
 Southeast of Imphal, however, tank-led Japanese forces were re- pulsed in an attempt to break through the Allied lines on the Tamu-Palel highway.
 Sixty miles north of Imphal, fierce fighting continued for the town of Kohima and the communi- que acknowledged that the Japan eSe had succeeded in reinforcing their troops in that sector.
 Front reports said the enemy broke into the southern end of the town more than week ago, hem- ming the British defenders into a
