The subject of controlling
floods in the winding Clinton
River had long been akin to
Mark Twain's quip concerning
the weather: Everybody talks
about it but no one does any
thing about it,
Old Timers look back with
IN air of braggad0ciO and talk
about the days when flood
waters Of tho Clinton surged
down Croker boulevard to a
depth of one or two feet in the
vicinity of Second and Third
streets, creating a sort of Ven
ice-oH America in the Bath
City.
Downriver residents recall
particularly the fierce floods of
1888 and l943, when smashed
speedboats mingled with small
cottages and farm buildings
raced down the river to an ice
jam at the mouth the pile
up of waters seriously menacing
many hundreds of lives.
Many a trembling, aged per-
son was wrapped in blankets
and rescued from the rising
flood. Scores of persons dan
ger0usly i'll fled from its threat
In improvised water-ambu-
lances, and hundreds of little
children, sensing it was big
adventure, braved death to es-
cape the rivers menace.
NeWspapermen, who suffered
the least Except for lack OF
sleep and wet socks) covered the
waterfront from every possible
angle and, although they
wished that such suffering and
damage might have been averted
enjoyed professional thrill
in keeping the stay-at-homes
we'll informed on the disasters.
When the long anticipated
flood relief arrives this
veteran flood reporter, for one.
will not yearn for the bad old
days. We'd rather talk
about the brighter prospect for
Mount Clemens, and hope that
once floods are no more
the river will be dredged and
beautified to make it the valu-
able asset it should be.

a look. They fall roughly into four classifcations
 First, OPA grant reconversion price increases. They're to take of goods that out of pro- duction during the war but now going back into production OPA's general theory has been to creased labor and materials costs, that isn't always possible. So OPA grants the manufacturer a price increase
 Second, OPA is required by law to grant cer- tain price increases which will manufacturers as much profit they made before the war OPA has knucked under and authorized price increases for number of industries in this category making everything from freight wheels to English bone chinaware The boiling materials and textile indus tries have benefited particularly under these increases
 Again by law. OPA is required to grant increases to prevent unfairnesS to certain sellers That par tcuary affects foods If floor bad season has resulted in short crop in any locality. OPA can raise the ceiling price to grant the growers relief
 Finally, at its discretion OPA grant price increases to encourage production of items in scant supply.
 Not only have price increases been granted, but all price controls have since V-J Day been taken off of more than 200 items which do not play large part in the cost of living That take in such things dehydrated and compressed foods, tin gas meters, punching bags knitting needles synthetic jewels and such truck
 The moral of all this is that when the gimme boys start yelling We robbed by OPA,' they haven't been hurt as bad as they let on They can get price relief if they have it coming to them What they haven't learned yet is that unlimited price in- creases now spell only thing, in-f-l-a-t-i-o-n

During the fifteen years since his graduation at Yale, MT.

In all these relationships, his work has been characterized by ''unstinted de- votion and aoiliCy of the highest or der," in President Seymours words.
 In the academic community, his services have been numerous and important. He was a founder and first president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and is now a vice-president of the senior cham Der.

THE BEST WAY OUT
Christian Science Monitor

(ChrlStlan Science MonltOr)
 Secretary Forrestai and Admiral Nimitz both advocate a commission of prominent civilians to study the question of Army-Navy merger and to make recommendations to Con- gress The two Navy spokesmen are arvocating the soundest possible next step-a step this newspaper has already proposed.
 The congressional hearing has de- veloped into a straight Army vs.- Navy lineup. This puts Congress in the position of either having to merge the armed forces against the solid opposition of the Navy or to refuse a merger vigoriously advo- cated by the Army.
 There is some evidence that the Army Air Force. hopes that under a scheme of unification it could gain greater independence of action. On the other hand, there is reason to suspect that the Navy fears loss of it's traditionally strong position with Congress.
 InSee are 1lCerSerV1Ce r1ValT1eS and political maneuyerings with which the public has and should have little patience. An outstand- ing civilian commission, headed by someone of the caliber of Bernard Maruch-whom MT Forrestal sug- gested-could more easily cut through the artificial solidity of the opposing front than can con- gressional hearing. Such a body could give the time-which Con- gressmen cannot-to study of the mechanics of defense in the light of new weapons and the new world situation. The President is quoted as unfavorable to the commission idea. It is to be hoped that he may reconsider.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-11-28

The bent white -haired former supporter of Henry George called for end to the long delay In stang off the St. Lawrence seaway project. He called for action on the full employment bil the 65-cent min imum wage bill and other important measures bound up with reconversion.
 Reason for the long delays in committees he said is that Headers both sides of the House do not trust the membets If they are not in complete agreement on the objective of these measures, at least they should permit them to come before the House for vote.
 why should we sit here day after day doing nothing but talk talk criticize and fight battles that past. in place of having our eyes to the future for the benefit of country and for the benefit of the soldier boys? want action and sane think ing"
 It was one of the sanest speeches Congress has heard in weeks.
 Note-As long as reactonary Southern Con- gressmen are chairmen of committees they bottle up legislation and prevent its coming to vote
 No 1 rule of all good advertising is to member names-particularly the names of clients. All successful government executives understand the same rue-esp>cially when it comes to their clients the members of Congress who vote them money
 That's why irascible old Sen. Kenneth McKelar, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, couldn't understand the apses of Assistant Secretary of State William Benton when he appeared before McKellar's committee. Benton, founder with OPA's Chester Bowles of of the nations top adverts- ing agencies, testfying in secret session. trying to get more appropriations for the State Depart ment.
 But Benton couldn't remember McKellar's name Other Senators chucked behind their hands at the Tennesseans annoyance, but Benton kept address ing the venerable chairman as Sen. Keller"
 Finally, McKellar could stand it no longer. Grab ping pencil and scratch pad, he interrupted Ben- ton to point out MT Benton, that's the fifth time you've done that. My is McKellar-here, let me write it out for you''
 Then, in labored hand, McKellar spelled out his name on the paper and handed it to Benton. The ex-advertising executive flushed and kept the hinder before him during the rest of his testimony
 
 Officials on both sides publicly deny reports that John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers Union will rejoin the American Federation of Labor. How ever, privately the deal already has been made.
 Lewis will be returned to the fold at the next AFL executive council meeting in Miami, Jan 21 Furthermore, the tempestuous mine leader will be granted his No. l demand, seat in the executive council for his 600000 mine workmen.
 Details of the reunion worked out in a series of secret confahs between Lewis and AFL mogus, including President Green Carpenters boss
