ment help. can't conceive OF any
thing more unjust than this pro-
posed project"
Senator Radcliffe went on record
at the hearing for the first time as
being "unequivocally opposed" to
the s235, ,000,0 900 project. He de-
scribed the proposal to erect dams
as an "unwarranted and unneces-
sary expense" and said he was
ready to do anything necessary to
kill it."
The Senator pointed out that the
project would result in severe loss to
property owners lat time when we
should husband our resources for
postwar works The Maryland
Legislature, he reminded the hearing
board, has protested the project in a
resolution, and he added that he did
not know of a single organization in
his State that favored the dams.
1t was the first time Senator Rad
cliffe has expressed himself on the
plan, and his statement was greeted
by applause from the crowded audi
torium.
West Virginians Testify.
Senator Revercomb pointed out
that the project would necessitate
the removal and relocation of high
ways and railroads, involving a
considerable expenditure above the
computed cost of the dams. In an
swer to the argument that hydro
electric would be made available tc

after We day. After the World War
some wounded remained in Europe
almost year.
Probably most of the men now
in Europe will be grouped in classes
two and three. 1t is impossible to
say now, accurately, how many. If
Germany should end the war with
complete surrender, fewer men
would be needed for occupation and
more could come home. But If
underground German resistance
continues, relatively large Allied
force will have to be kept in the
country.
For these and similar reasons, the
War Department declines any esti-
mate now on how many men will
be demobiliZed after victory in
Europe Probably they will num-
ber only a few hundred thousand
the first year.
Point System Set Up.
The Army has set up a point
system allowing credits for length
of service, age, number of children,
number of decorations and the like
The men who have the highest
number of points-if replacements
can be found for them or they are
no longer needed-will be demobi-
lized first.
This will apply to men in the Pa
cific as we'll as Europe.
1t will take little longer for those
in the Pacific to get home. They
must wait longer for requirements
and travel farther.
The Army Air Forces present a
special problem. There are 1900 900
in the AAF, including those in
Europe. Gen. Arnold says that when
possible those coming out of Europe
will DE given leave to visit the home
folks. But he says maryland pos
sibly most"-will go directly to the
Pacific.
Certainly 1t is planned to rush out
to the Pacific the construction and
ground crews needed to build vast
new air bases. Best opportunities
for furlough will go to combat crews
who fly their planes out there via
the United States. There will be no
visits home, of course, for those who
fly East by way of Asia Minor.

Men, S Store Clerks Still Out,
But Consider Return 10 Jobs

A strike against IL mems clothing
stores, called by Retail Clerks Union
262 (AFL), continued today while
the clerks met at Carpenters Hall to
decide whether to take the advice OF
the Labor Department and return
to work pending settlement of their
contract dispute.
James Holden, Labor Departments
conciliator, told them yesterday they
would be ordered back by the War
Labor Board in any event. Most of
the stores continued open with pro-
prietors and office personnel wait
ing on customers.
The stores are: Young Mems
Shop, Lewis & Thomas. Saltz, Inc,
Saltz Bros, The Mode, Herzog's,
Fashion Shop, Bond Clothing. Co.

compromise a week ago, which
means that if the Senate turns 1t
down it must follow that action by
asking the House for a new confer
ence Having disposed of all urgent
business on its calendar. the House
will be in informal recess until mid
April, unless leaders call them back
to Washington.
Byrnes Kills Last Hope.
Senate leaders, who already lacked
majority to put the compromise
through yesterday morning, gave up
hope when they learned that War
Mobilization Director Byrnes had
resigned, to be succeeded by Fed
eral Loan Administrator Fred M.
VinSon.
The heart of the manpower COM
promise is the discretionary author
ity that would be vested in the war
mobilization director to freeze"
workers in essential jobs, and the
confidence of members of Congress
in Mr. Brynes was regarded as one
of the bills assets.
| When Mr.. Byrnes announced he
was returning to private life, 1t
brought a quick reaction in the
Senate. Senator johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado, who played q
leading role in working out the com.
promise, only to announce yesterday
he will vote against it now, told the
| Senate:
Poor Time to Freeze Others"
"Mr Justice Byrnes is going back
to civil life. 1t is a poor time to
freeze other people in their jobs.
Senator Burton, Republican, of
Ohio, who is standing by the COM
promise. reminded the Senate it will
soon be four months since the Presi-
dent and the heads of the armed
forces asked for manpower controls
to hasten victory in both oceans.
| During all that time the issue
keeping the two houses apart has
been whether compulsion should be
applied to workers on the home
front. The House stood originally
for labor draft for men 18 to As.
A majority in the Senate has held
out for the system already being
used by the War Manpower Com
mission of attempting to channel
workers into essential plants by low
ering the ceilings on the numbers Of
employees nonessential plants may
retain.

to assure that the same elevations
for flood-protective measures could
be obtained without doing violent
damage to the Mall and Seven
teenth street"
In conclusion, Mr.. Demaray said.
THE adverse effects Of the dams
on Federal park properties would
greatly outweigh any possible bshe-
fits. The flood-contro1 benefits
would be limited and would not
eliminate the necessity Of dixie con-
struction in the Mall to protect the
National Capital. Irreparable utili-
tartan, historic, scenic and scientific
losses would be sustained by the
people of the United States. ."

the area when the coal supply ran
out, Senator Revercomb said it was
his information that the Nation had
enough coal to last another 1900 or
5000 years.
Representative Randolph, who is
chairman Of the House District
Committee, said he represented not
only the people of his District, but
citizens of Washington as well. He
explained he had received hundreds
of letters and telephone calls from
local business and fraternal organi-
zations and private citizens object
ing to the project.
Sees Roosevelt Opposing Plan.
Mr.. Randolph read a telegram
which he sent to President RooSe-
welt last week in which he outlined
his objections to the construction
of the dams. He said that, while
no one can speak for Mr.. Roose-
welt, he believed the President would
come out "at the proper time
against the project.
He also told the board he was
authorized by Secretary of In
terror Ickes to say that this Official
was "unalterably opposed" to the
proposal.
Representative Robertson, whose
7th district comprises Clarke,
Rockbridge and Warren Counties in
the rich Shenandoah Valley of Vir-
ginia, said 5000 acres of land would
be under water if the proposal Is
carried out, and $4,000 additiona.
acres would be mud flats at low tide
This Is a 100 per cent power prof.
ect for a community that does no,
need power" he said.
Challenges Federal Authority.
"I challenge the legal and mora
right of the Federal Government tc
condemn private property so thai
the Government can produce power
in competition with private indus.
try"
Mr.. Robertson pointed out that
the dam proposed for Brooks Gar
in Rockbridge County would be con-
structed of dirt and reminded the
board that the Johnstown flood was
caused by the bursting of dirt
dam. He suggested the engineers
consult their 1884 report, when they
advocated flood control for the Po-
tomac without any power features.
Representative Smith, speaking
for the residents of Loudoun County
in his district, said the proposed
project narrows down to prevent
ing temporary flood damage al
Washington by inundating perma-
nently most of the fertile areas oi
Virginia and West Virginia" He
asked the board to provide loca,
hearing for Loudoun County resi-.
dents if it considers the project
further after today's hearing.
Three Organizations Favor Dams.
Representatives of three organ
izations appeared to express ap-
proval of the project.
Mrs. Clifford Durr. whose hus.
band is a member of the Fedora
Communications Commission, sale
she spoke for the Committees o.
100 in Virginia which she described
as a New Deal Democratic organ
ization"
Virginia can no longer indulge II
ancestor worship" she saio. "Chear
power is needed to industrialize th'
South. Only when we got the bene'
fits of the Roosevelt administration
were we able to stand up and &C
forward"
She said it is not true that there
is plenty of power in the Potomac
Valley. This area, she pointed out
is almost wholly agricultural.
THE Virginia people deserve
break" she declared. They do no
want to remain agricultural. They
want industrialization."
