investigator of the much-inves-
tigated Clinton River flood area
Gen. Reybold has asked the
Detroit District Engineer Office
to make an immediate report on
the situation. The chief engineer
in this office has asked permits
sion to delay the report until
Feb. /.
The entire Harrison Township
area located south of the Clinton
River and east of Mount Glenn
ems. is seriously menaced as
never before in history, Harper
points out, due to the construc-
ton of a dyke protecting Self
ridge F5fS3efNs-A ~ ~ ,len
tfasehded TO such a degree Skat
the overflow northward which
always relieved the river and
southern Harrison Township no
longer occurs, Harper points out,
resulting in potential menace
which might inundate many
square miles of the residential
and farming area to a serious
depth.
Harper called the matter to
the attention of legislative and
army authorities after recent
passage Of the Flood Control
Bill which contained no provis-
ion for "a Clinton River project.
In his reply, to Harper's notice
of this omission, Rep. Wo1cott
explained that this was "duc to
the fact that a previous bill con-
tanned such an item. The Clin-
ton River project was included in
the Flood Control Act of Aug.
%, 1887, and under that legisla-
ton, preliminary investigation
an dsurvey has already been
ordered.
Today, more than seven years
later, the Clinton River is a far
greater menace to safety and
property than ever before, Har-
per Points out. due to construc-
ton of the Selfridge Field dyke
over a greatly enlarged govern
ment reservation.
Wolcott states that the ordered
investigation was made, and the
Detroit district engineers re-
port is now being awaited.
Harper points to the fact that
any survey made before the
Selfridge dyke was constructed
would not be obsolete.

Harper said he plans to con-

most comprehensive survey OF
flood happenings and property
! damage ever made here.

Famed 82d Airborne
To March in First
j. ). Division Parade
By WALTER McCALLUM.


First United States parade of an
entire division of veterans of the
European war will be held on New
Yorks Fifth avenue around the
first of the year, when bronzed vet
Grams of the 82nd Airborne Divi-
sion will march down Gotham's
historic hero's boulevard. The date
is to be announced.
Leading the troopers of the vet
eran division, which has so many
''flrsts" they read like glossary of
the European war, will be Maj. Gen.
James M. Gavin of zoos Columbia
road NV.
Gen. Gavin entered the war as a
colonel commanding the 505th Para
chute Infantry Regiment. He was
promoted to major general by pre-
sidential order during the Holland
campaign in September and Novem-
ber, 1914 Many other Washing
tonians are in the division.
The 82nd division will come to
New York direct from Berlin, where
the airborne troops, of glider and
parachute infantry echelons, formed
a major part of the American occu-
patton forces, and Gen. Gavin, for
a time, was American military COM
mander. The advance party of the
division, sent here to make arrange
ments for the parade and for billet
ing of the men, arrived in Wash
ington by plane Saturday from Ger
many.
First in Africa.
"Firsts" of the 82nd include the
African landings, where a combat
team flew 1,500 miles from England
to Tunisia, dropping by parachute
on African soil in advance of the
seaborne forces advancing on Oran
and Casablanca in Operation Torch,
the military code name for the At
rican invasion.
After the African show, troopers
of the 82nd moved into Sicily, where
again the intrepid parachutists met
the Germans, and their first Ger
man Tiger tanks. Gen. Gavin had
a close brush with death in the
Sicily campaign. Members of the di-
vision went from Sicily to Salerno,
where they fought as ground troops,
and took part in a parachute drop
at Avellino, behind the Salerno
beachhead.
Back to England for further train
ing went the 82nd in 1943, there to
await the arrival of the equally
famous 101st airborne division. The
two airborne units trained in Joint
maneuvers in England in 1943 and
early 1914.
The 82d, in the first major air.
borne operation in United States
Army history, dropped soon after
midnight in Normandy, centering
the drop zone around the little viii
lage of Ste. Mere Eglise. The 101st
drop zone was centered near Caren-
tan, miles away. The 82d boys
fought the bloody action of the
Merderet, and expanded the beach,
head with other divisions in the
battles around La Haye de Puts, st.
Sauveur lie Vicomte and other Nor
mandy towns whose names loomed
large in headlines in June and July,
1914.
Descended on Holland.
The division went back to England
in July, 1914, for replacements and
further training. and on September
II, 1914, flew with the 101st and the
British 1st Airborne Division into
Holland in the attempt to turn the
north flank of the German armies
and capture a foothold at Arnhem,
Holland.
Although the entire operation was

borne forces, the airborne phase
was considered by the War Depart
ment to have been a complete sue
cess. Unlike the Normandy inva-
sion, the large scale airborne in
vasion of Holland was a daylight
show.
Helped Smash Thrust.
The 82d left the bloody corridor
between Eindhoven. Holland, and
Northern France in November, 1914,
and went to rest billets near Reims,
France. But the rest wasn't long.
The German breakthrough in Bel
gium came December 16, and the
82d and 101st we're rushed to close
the gap. The 10lst, although sur
rounded, held at Bastogne, and the
German thrust was smashed early in
January, 1945.

imous agreement that, in the words of Detroit War Manpower Director Edward L. Cushman:
 This summer of 1945 is going to provide a real test of the eff fectiveness of Detroit's system of industrial relations"
 The story of the recent wave of strikes in the motor capital is no longer news. But the story behind that story is worth telling because, if you read and heed, you can know right now some of the things that your own war indus tries town must face in the not distant future.
 Detroit Is First
 Detroit woke up to its morning after hangover first among the major industrial centers because Detroit was drawn more utterly and completely into war. produc- tion than any other first rank producer. Cutbacks after VIE Day struck here most devastatingly and probably will continue to do so. The bubble of everlasting prosperity was pricked here first of all.
 So Detroit is the test tube in which untried economic, social and political chemicals have been dumped by guess and by gorry, and have been turned into a danger ous witches brew.
 Detroit is the city where indus trial relations medicines, some long considered and others com- pounded in hurried desperation, are being tried out.
 Detroit is worth watching. It is too early, now, to guess what rem- edies will be tried or how they will work. It is even too early to attempt to describe all the symp- toms of the disease. But in the 19 strikes I studied, seething under currents are apparent just off the shore. Men of good will in this city are seriously analyzing their labor problems.

VAST INDUSTRY
 PLANNED FOR SOUTHERN INDIA

London (UP)-Eleborate postwar plans for the industrial development of the states of southern India, involving an expenditure of more than $1 200 900 0O0 have been out- lined by a former British oficial in the states to the Royal Society of Arts.
 At recent meeting of the India and Burma section of the society Sir William Barton, former British, Resident in Baroda, Mysore, and Hyderabad, read paper present- ing the scheme.
 Tn Hyderabad many new fac- tories have been started for war production. and the authorities realizing that the expansion of industry depended on the pros- perity of the whole country have put the improvement of agricul- ture foremost in their postwar policy, Sir William stated.
 One project which was envisaged is the creation of an industrial city on the banks of the Godavari river, embracing an electrical de- velopment to bring water to nearly million acres. It was estimated $64 100000 would be required to start the city, which would produce steel, cement, textiles, rayon, cal- cium, carbide fertilizers, and plastics.
 For the state as whole, devel- opment planning, including the schemes for promoting educational, public health, road and railway con- struction, and slum clearance, the forecast is that some f180,000, ,000 $720,000,000) will be available to finance the project" Sir William said.
 In Mysore a similar development would cost $6o0,oo0.oO0 over a period of 10 years, Sir William added. Vegetable dye-stuffs, radio sets, bicycles, tractors and plastics would be manufactured, educational facilities extended, 10000 houses built in Bangalore, and $12,000 900 spent on railways and electrifica. ton.
 "The states will generally look to Britain for the supply of the equipment and technique they will need for the carrying out of their industrial program, and they would be reluctant to conclude with British India an agreement that might in any way impede British cooperation" Sir William concluded.

Detroit, July 9-What has been happening in Detroit industry can be taken as fair warning of what is very likely to happen in most American industrial centers-unless there is better planning than has appeared to date. On the day I arriv- ed here, 1858 men and women were off the job in an outbreak of mostly unauthorized strikes.
 The nineteen strikes listed by a local newspaper in it's "box score" for the week ended June 30 includ- ed four in which, at one time or an- other, 5000 men and women were on strike because of a jurisdictional dispute between the American Fed eration of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. If Saner counsels in the high command of organized labor had not prevailed, that series of strikes would have shut down every automobile plant in this city and would have taken more than 42s 1000 workers off the manufacture of airplanes and parts, VeaAAho, VI uOho, s 6d41o dlAN o1AAdAlCA pu1 critically essential implements of war.
 CUTBACK PROBLEMS
 Another 44OO men and women in three plants were on strike, the week I arrived, because of disputes over who should be laid off first as contract cutbacks made 1t necessary for employers to reduce their pay rolls, at lefJt temporarily.
 The strike of 50 key workers in another plant inducted or forced Il, 400 men and women in the Hud- son plant, which makes parts for the very essential Superforts and Helldivers, to lay off.
