 Washington. Nov. q - U.P0 - The $97O, ,965 ,0OO postwar flood con- trol bill came up for senate debate today, setting the stage for bitter three way battle involving irrigation, navigation and hydro-electric power development.
 Southern Senators, supporting an Army Engineer plan that stresses navigation, were set to oppose viz orously determined bloc of western and New England senators drawn together by the issue of state rights and the western demand that irri- gation get prime consideration. 7 In the background lay the power development question raised by the proposed St. Lawrence River Seaway providing ocean vessel navigation to the Great Lakes and vast new hydro-e electric power development.
 The fight between the southern CTS and the western New England coalition appeared to be the first on the agelida. After it is decided. there iH q unssihi|ltF that senator Georgs

 Paris, Nov. 21 - (UP) = Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today that the only sensible course open to the German army is to fight to the bitter end west of the Rhine.
 Eisenhower suggested inferential- ly that he expected the final battle of the European war to be fought west of the Rhine, where six Allied armies were waging the Allied grand offensive and hammering the Nazis back along 400-mile front.
 But the battle win not be easy, the supreme commander warned at a press conference. To win the vic- tory and peace, he said, we've got to fight like hell for it. Now let's do it."
 He called on his armies and the home fronts behind them for ever greater effort, and warned that un- less every element of the United Nations keep on the job everlast- ingly and with mounting intensity,

 The Michigan Senator told re- porters his proposed investigating board would be empowered to get "the overall picture" " including not only the responsibility of the Army and Navy but that of the State Department as well.
 Ferguson said he had decided to press for a Senate investigation after considering the possibility that any court martial ordered by the Army or Navy would go only into the records of the persons on trial and perhaps neglect such fac tors as overall strategy. coopera- tiop or lack of cooperation between the services. and similar subjects.

LocoI Office 

No change in the personnel make- up of the city's assessors's office is seen for 1945 desipte previous re- ports that a chief tax commissioner might be appointed at salary of $7,50O.
 Preliminary reports on the pro- posed 1945 budget appropriation re- veals that salary requirements for the city's five assessors at $3,100 each have been provided for in the 1945 budget of the latter office. No item for 8 tax commissioner and the aforementioned salary is listed and authorities declared today that the matter had been dropped, pos- sibly flor the time being. Possible appointment of a chief tax commissioner for the city may materialize, at future date, the possibility being contingent on the recommendations made by the state tax commissioners office and the firm of George B. Horan and Com- pany, now engaged in complete revaluation of all city property. ~ 40 CARCIUC0 OAAnO 6A1C 4CN0Ab00ASAA survey will be completed some time in the early part of next year and which time various recommenda- tions will likely be incorporated within the city's assessors office. Various items for new equipment and alterations for the office, now located in the city hall, first floor, have been included within the 1945 budget appropriation.
 Under present city charter pro- visions authorities would need to seek legislation at the General Assembly to change the personnel makeup of the office for appointment of a chief tax commissioner. No men, ton was made as to possible ap- pointee but the name of John Kil- duff, now chief board member, has been mentioned as strong posst- |hiljty.

War Has Even Come To
'Chippie" At The Park

Going without potato chips,
peanuts and popcorn is no fun
according to "Chipie, " the little
mantle ground squirrel. Chip
pie has held forth for some time
at the entrance to Many Glaciers
Hotel, skipping along to each
tourist and eating out of h e
hands of people from all walks of
life.
This war. however, has even
affected "Chippie.' Gone a e
the days, at least for the dura-
ton, when tourists fiocked past
his domicile and kept him fat
and lazy. He longs for the good
old days just like SO many Ameri-
cans.
A deluge of potato chips will
mean the war is over. and then

Sleeping, and doing nothing ex-
cept absorbing the Galleries.

Various Reactions To
Indian Affairs Meeting

Appearing before members of
the Black feet tribe as fact find
ing body, the subcommittee of
the House Indian Affairs COM
mittee, headed by Congressman
James F. O'Connor, conducted
one of its meetings of series at
the high school auditorium last
Friday morning and afternoon.
Senator Burton X. Wheeler,
who in recent weeks has been va
cationing at his summer home on
Lake Mcdonald. appeared with
the group and with O'Connor
was the articulate part of the
gathering.
General reaction to the meet
ing, according to poll of opinion,
was unimpressive. A consider
able number of people feel that
the event YVES timed as to be a
gesture liz politics. since Congress
man O'Connor is a candidate for
reelection in November.
Others. more charitable to-
wards the congressional group,
feel that its purpose was high
and sublime and that, to the very
last man, there is an uneasiness
lest the American Indian drift
into state of nothingness be-
cause Of governmental straight
iacketin9.'
Since it is the usual procedure,
under t h American form of
government, for congressional
groups to go out among the peo.
pie to get the low down. on
things for the legislative mill in
Washington, the subcommittee
meeting was morally sound.
One thing sure, it was sort
of vista-a recollection Of the
good old days of peacetimes. Dur
ing the day peacetime quibbling
overshadowed the global war. 1t
was relaxation from the horrors
of shot and shell. Really, every
body seems to be in a healthier
state of mind since the meeting.
When any group of congress-
men come to town before cleo
ton day it is wisdom that the
electorate stand up 'resolutely"
and appraise things with open
mind, open heart-and ope
b1wels.
