toes legislation TO freeze Social
Security taxes.
With this sessions time running
short, the Senate Finance Commit.
tee is expected to approve. proba-
bly, tomorrow, a measure passed by
a resounding 262 to ~ House vote
yesterday The bill would keep the
payroll tax at l per cent each on
employer and employe for another
year, forestalling an otherwise au-
tomato increase to . per cent on
January /.
Because they expect a presiden-
tial veto, Republicans are anxious
for Congress to stay here on the
possibility that the Presidents &C
ton might be overridden.
With that in mind, Senator Van
denberg (R-MichD, has declined an
informal Administration request for
unanimous consent that the Senate
lay aside a Rivers and Harbors bill,
which it is now debating, to take
up the War Powers extension.
He has demanded before agree
ing to this that Democratic leaders
promise to keep the session going
long enough TO keep the legislators
in Washington for the 10 days after
passage during which veto may
be voted on.
The Administration wants the
House-approved war powers meas
ure passed soon, because the extra
ordinary authority it gives the
President otherwise would expire
on December 81.

St. Louis Newspaperman Sees
Hope for Broad River Plan

A compromise Missouri river de-
velopment plan that will be accept
able to both upstream and down
stream states in the valley is be-
lieved a possibility by John T. Stew
art, staff writer for the st. Louis
Star-TimeS.
Mr.. Stewart spent several days
here last week, before going west He
is writing articles on irrigation and
agriculture, which r his special
fields.
Hope was expressed by Mr.. Stew
art that, out of conferences now
progressing between the bureau Of
reclamation and the corps of engin-
GERS, a plan will be worked out that
is acceptable to all concerned. He
said many leaders in all sections OF
the valley favor such a compromise.
The st. Louis newspaperman is
especially interested in irrigation de-
yelopment and says that city people
downstream are farm conscious"
now. Farmers of his state, he adds,
are primarily concerned over flood
control because almost annual out
breaks of the Big Muddy" mean
heavy losses to them.
Out of the interests of the two
great regions in the Missouri valley,
he adds, may come a plan that will
be acceptable and passable in con-
gresS.
Mr.. Stewart met and interviewed
a number of irrigation farmers in
this vicinity, with the cooperation
of Josef Sklower, Chamber of Com
merce secretary.
