Portsmouth Puts Hone
In Sandbags as Ohio
Tops Levee by Foot

A cold wave. sweeping over
the Ohio Valley and freezing
its rain-soaked terrain offered
hope today that the floor raging
along the 981-mile length of the
great river soon would be curbed.
High danger point along the
stream was Portsmouth, Ohio,
where hastily placed sandbags
were the only barrier against
waters already a foot higher
than the flood wall.
Twenty-Five of % soldiers who were
spilled into the swirling waters of
the White River in Arkansas last
night had been rescued early today
the Associated Press reported. They
had been the objects of an all-night
search by rivermen. Thirteen were
rescued last night but the fate of the
rest was uncertain for some hours.
A colored soldier was reported
missing.
As Feet at Louisville.
The Louisville Weather Bureau
had not revised its estimate that
the high water mark OF AZ to ATS
feet would be reached early tomor-
row but at 8 am. The river stage
was 46.8 feet. The rate of rise had
slowed from one tenth of a foot each
hour to about half that and twice
early today there was little change
during a one-hour period.
al y,
comes, would remain for about "a
hours and then the river would
begin a slow fall.
Upstream at Cincinnati and Gov
ington, KY, the Ohio River crested
at 692 feet-17,2 feet above flood
stage. However, at Ashland, up
stream from Cincinnati, the stream
still was rising as flooded tributaries
rushed into the big river.
From Louisville westward and
then southward-past New Albany,
Ind.;. Owensboro. KY; Henderson,
KY; Evansville, Ind, and on down
to Paducah, KY, and Cairo, ILL.,,
where the Ohio flows into the Mis-
sissippi - there were reports OF
rising waters and hurried evacu-
alton of city dwellers and farm
families from exposed sections.
At Pittsburgh, the Monogahela
and Allegheny Rivers, tributaries
of the Ohio, were falling.
Soldiers Boat Capsizes.
The accident on the White River
near Cotton Plant, Ark, happened
as boat transporting soldiers across
the river to man levee capsized in
darkness.
The soldiers were among 1000
ordered into Woodruff, Prairie and
Monroe Counties where the White
River threatened to break through |
a levee and flood 100000 acres of
farmland. Following the capsizing,
Arkansas State police were called
upon for reSpirators and nearby
Stuttgart Army air field sent eight |
ambulances to the scene, the Asso-
ciated Press reported.
Here in Washington resources of
both the American Red Cross and
the Disaster Loan Corp, were placed
at the service of flood sufferers.
Representatives McCowen and Jen-
kins, Republicans, of Ohio, said
the Red Cross was meeting relief |
needs in Southern Ohio and pre-
pairing to aid Portsmouth. Mr.. Nc
Cowen said the DIG was prepared
to make rehabilitation loans.
Swelling at rate of i feet an
hour, the Ohio River at Portsmouth
passed a 63.2 stage, more than 13I
feet above flood stage, at midnight
This was more than a foot higher
than the food wall, but sandbags
held the Ohio and its tributary
Scioto River out except at one short

the war years has led to a correseondingy huge accumulation of currency, bank balances and Govern ment securities in the hands of individuals Official estimates place the total of such liquid assets at close to l23 billion dollars at the end of 1944, compared with about 4S billion in 1889 In view of these immense reserves of purchasing power, it might be hastily concluded that most of the workers who are losing their jobs the result of cutbacks in war production Tn position to live off savings for some time to come. Unfortunately the meager in formation available concerning the ownership of cash and bank balances does not warrant optimism as to the ability of abor's rank and file to support a prolonged period of idleness.
 The greater part of the savings belonging to individuals held by persons with incomes of more than $5G00. And in the income groups above as well as below the 1000 level, it is thought that savings are concentrated in the hands of small minority perhaps 10 to 9 per cent of all individuals special study made by the CIO in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics dictates that among steel workers with wages averaging about $50 per week family savings amounted to $312 on the average.
 Whether this showing indicates lack of the saving instinct whether rising living costs, coupled with other expenditures growing out of con- dtons is largely responsible for the inadequate resources the great majority of workers ques- ton for separate consideration Whatever the cause the concentrated distribution of savings emphasizes the need for insurance to tide the great majority of demobzed war workers the waiting period between jobs.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

When President Truman sent the last batch of 25 generals to the Senate for promotion, he forced the Army to include two generals he picked himself. They were :: Brig, Gen Frank Lowe of Portland, Me, long attached to the old Tru- man Committee; and Brig. Gen. Wallace Philoon of Auburn, Me. In the latter case, Senator Wallace White, Republican leader of the Senate who lives in Auburn, went to Truman personally and de- manded that Philoon be promoted. White and Philoon both graduated from Bowden College in addition to coming from the same town. , t. One man who isn't going to be around on election day in New York is Boss Ed Flynn of the Bronx.

SOMEBODY'S CROSSED UP

Somebody apparently has their wires crossed in the matter of who favors what route and why in connection with the Seattle New York and Chicago battle over air routes to the Orient over Alaska.
 Last week Editor Bob Atwood of the Anchorage Times who said he represented the Alaska Develop ment Board took the Seattle Chamber to task for spurnng wire from the Development Board, signed by Governor Ernest Gruening as chairman, and reputedy declaring the route from Chicago as fin dspensable to the future of Alaska"
 Yesterday Development Board release, giving the text of the sent to Seattle revealed that the Board is not opposed to the route from Seattle in fact favors it-providng it does not jeopardze the route from New York and Chicago. In other words. the Board is in of Seattle if than one route to the Orient over Alaska is okayed
 But also yesterday came story from Seattle, quoting Governor Gruening as being all-out for a Seattle routebut only if one line is given franchise Thus is just the opposite stand as was presented by Gruenings Development Board telegram to Seattle
 But to top it all, it was also announced from Seattle yesterday that Wilbur Wester Anchorage member of the Development Board, says that the Development Board took official stand" on the air route question and will not for 10 days
 We venture to say that these various statements just dont hang together

FISHa SHOWDOWN

However, McMahon was the only Democrat present smart enough to force the Senators to declare them selves for or against the Kilgore Bill, including it's much-debated S25 payment. George and Barkley were about to proceed with compromise measures, when the Connecticut Senator spoke up.
 Before we vote on anything else, D he said, T want to see the vote on the bill before us. I move that it be approved.
 The vote was to 10 against the Kilgore Bill. The eight for the bill were: Barkley, McMahon, Walsh of Massachusetts, Johnson of Colorado, Lucas of Illinois, Guffey of Penn sylvania, Connally of Texas-all Democrats-and La Toilette of Wisconsin, Republican Progressive. The votes against were: Vanden- berg of Michigan, Taft of Ohio, and Millikin of Colorado-all Republi- cans; plus five Democrats: George, Byrd, Bailey, Garry and Radcliffe.
 The battle is still continuing over compromise unemployment pay ments, but one thing is certain Trumans own confidential advice to Senate leaders cooked the goose of the Kilgore Bill.

Ickes Stays On; Let's Play Up to Johnson
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

(Ketchkan Chronicle)
 It's an old rule of the international front; make friends with the enemy of your enemy.
 Most of Alaska's citizens inimica1 to Secre- arv Harold l. Ickes but the old curnudgeon is due to stay in the cabinet for several months longer Of
 immediate interest is the probability that Colonel Otto F Ohlson will thus remain as manager of the Alaska Railroad and the model town he envsions at Whittier will be completed, making Seward for time ghost city Of more permanent interest is the position in which Alaska finds itself the ends and it seeks to enlarge and diversity it's economics.
 In this respect, Chairman Jed Johnson of the Interior Department Subcommittee, House Appro- priations Committee, who is enemy of lcKes can become a friend of Alaska. He has been appointed to the U S. Customs Court reward for heading the Democratic Party Speaking Committee in the last election But he won't accept, he told us few weeks ago in Alaska long Ickes remains in the cabinet Thus he probably will remain therkey on appro- priations for Alaska although the Comnittee on Ter ritores headed by Hugh Peterson ofVGeorgia, also recent Alaska visitor will have al hand in general policy regarding the Territory alI eauHu
 The thing for Aaskans to do, therefore, is to use the enty of Johnson for Ickes and Ickes for Johnson to their own good. Ickes has been making all the suggestions for Alaska Why not give Johnson few
 tips as to what need making him feel that his trip up here was responsible Then his dislike of the old curmudgeon won't hurt Alaska.
 As matter of fact, if the IckeS Esssryations are to be stopped the to stop tlenf hkt come from Congress TEese Representatives who visited up here are human they are interested in Alaskan needs And some of them spelling for affight with the Secretary of the Interior This should De our cue to capitalize on situation of possible great value.

yANDENBERG STORMS

This Senate committee is not going to retreat in public while the President retreats in private, stormed COP Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, who had always op- posed the full Kilgore Bill but is under terrific pressure from unem- ployed Detroit auto workers.
 Other Republican Senators looked on amused at the consternation of their Democratic colleagues. COP Senator Brewster of Maine leaned over to his Democratic New Eng land colleague, Brien McMahon of Connecticut, and said in stage whisper:
 s"Well, Brien, this means a third party" Gle was referring to the Republican hope that Labor will bolt the Southern Conservative leadership of the Democrats"
 If this is a pattern of things to come, youll probably see a third party all right, admitted McMahon.

session, debate really got not. Most vocal opponent of the bill was COP Senator Albert Hawkes. of New Jersey, former head of the National Association of Manufac- turers. He contended that if people thought they cotild get $25 a week, they wouldn't work.
 Kentucky's Barkley ripped into this argument.
 T have more faith in the Am erican people than that" he said. The American people are not going to sit by and collect unem- ployment insurance when there are jobs to be had And they have enough faith in us to expect us to provide for them when, through no fault of their own, they run into hard times-even temporary hard times"
 Finally, a subcommittee was ap- pointed to consider the matter and next day when the full Committee met again behind closed doors Senator George proceeded to read Truman's confidential memo. The memo divided the Kilgore Bill into three categories; D Indispensable % Essential: (3) Desirable. Very significantly, Truman failed to list the s25-a- week unemployment com pensation as indispensable" Ht merely called it desirable" ano suggested leaving it to the in- diyidual states as to whether thi! amount should be paid.
 This S25 payment is the crux O the bill And Truman's run-out GU the ground right from under Xii. gore, despite thet unequiVocal send off Truman gave the bill in hi message to Congress.

CAPITOL CHAFF

It was Senators George and Russell of Georgia who really did the backstage spadework to have Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia invited to be Solicitor General
 Wanting to get him out of Georgia so he wouldn't run against either of them for the Senate, the two Senators quietly dropped the hint to Hannegan that the popular young Governor be brought to Washington. (Note-The Georgia Light and Power Company also was delighted) . High Wilson, whom FDR once made U. s. Ambassador to Germany, is now working for the Republican National Committee
 He is trying to recruit expert in- vestigators from the Office of Stra- tegic Services to act as Republican sleuths to investigate Democratic foreign policy.
