Ribbentrop Still Free
BY EDWARD V. ROBERTS

London, May 25. (UP)-Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, chief American prospector of Axis war criminals, and his staff have arrived in Britain for first-hand investiga- tions, it was revealed today.
 They will confer with the United Nations war crimes commission in London and later may visit Ger many itself.
 Jackson or members of his staff also may participate in the prelim- mary questioning of Reichsmarshal Herman Goering Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt and other accused war criminals now being held in England pending trial.
 The arrival of the American dele gation was disclosed as orders went out to Allied occupation troops in Germany to concentrate on finding former German Foreign Minister Joachim von Dibbentrop, sole top Nazi cabinet member still at large. Heinrich Himmler, most hated Of all Nazis with the possible exception of Hitler himself, was written oil the list Wednesday night. He sWal- lowed poison while in British cus- tody.
 The search for Ribbentrop was centered chiefly in Southern Ger many and Western Austria. where so many other NaI bigwigs have been unearthed.
 The vast majority of the German | forerign office personnel already | taken into custody were found in that area and Ribbentrop's country estate was situated on Lake Fuschl, Austria, about 20 miles by road east of Salzburg.
 Moreover, Ribbentrop s wife was reported to have sought refuge in l Switzerland only about month ago. The best information available was that Ribbentrop was in Berlin as late as April g. He then pre- sumably flew south by plane. There remained a possibility, how ever, that he may have motored west or north and now is mingling among other Germans in Allied-occupied territory indisguise. It also was possible that he may have committed suicide in Berlin, either separately or with Hitler. In addition to being foreign nm ister, Ribbentrop was a member Of the secret Nazi cabinet council and a member of the SS Elite Storm Troops.
 An Exchange Telegraph Agency dispatch said Margarethe von Papen, daughter of Franz von Papen, Germany's ace diplomatic agent already for Allied custody, has been arrested at her country estate in Germany.
 The Swiss Federal Council at Bern ordered the expulsion of 25 known Nazis, mostly officials of the former German legation and con- sulates. Some 250 other Nazis and number of Italian Fascists also were under investigation and face expulsion.
 A Vatican radio broaocast re- vealed that Nicholas Horthy, Jr., son of the former Hungarian regent, and Nicholas von Kallay, former premier of Hungary, were among II prominent Hungarians who had been released from Imprisonment in Germany and were in American GUS | tody on the Isle of Capri.

Washington May 25 A super "River Basin Development Board" which would take over Tennessee Valley Authority and control all postwar regional development pro- jects has been designed by Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes with himself as top man. It's his answer to the Missouri Valley Authority proposed by Senator James E. Mur- ray, (D., Mont)
 The three-way tug of war over MVA is expected to flare into the nations hottest postwar issue. Sen- ator Murray would have the ten Missouri Valley states included in a 50-year social and economic pro- gram patterned after the successful IVA. Regional control of the water for irrigation. soil conservation, flood control, hydro electric power, and navigation is the crux of the plan.
 Ickes' board would include the Secretary of Interior as boss, Sec retary of Agriculture, Chief of Engineers of the War Depart ment, and heads of IVA and other regional projects which would be created. Policy making and over head control of the river valley au- thorities set up by Congress would be eXerted by the board within the broad outlines of the proposed law. COMPLEX LINEUP
 Proposal of this super-board is the latest maneuver in the MVA tuSsle. Thus far it has simmered down to three-sided struggle those who favor the authority" plan with control in the region; Ickes and the Army engineers who want to run the show from here; and those interests flatly fighting the whole idea.
 The lineup is complex, with many interests still on the fence This is natural over a plan directly involving one-siXth of the area of the United States and the economic future of more than 100000 people Ill 50-year social revolution. Use

to present a united front to Con- gress and opponents. Concessions were made on both sides but the agreement is believed to be work able.
 Ickes and the Army already have toe-hold on developing the valley in the form of the 1914 Flood Con- trol Act. It gives them 0000,000 apiece to start the engineering work on the project as soon as the war is over.
 Out and out opponents to the MVA are numerous and working hard against it. But they all have slightly different axe to grind The states rights people are con- stantly fighting any Federal en- croachment, but forced to decide, would probably favor Ickes' plan. The Bureau of Reclamation has been with them a long time and they are used to it.
 The powerful National Reclama- tion Association, composed Of irri- gation interests in the Upper Basin

of the water in the valley Is the key to the struggle,
 Massed behind the idea of ac authority" as espoused by Sena- tor Murray are the liberal politi- cal elements in the valley, most of the press, liberal farm groups, and labor.
 Lineup on the Ickes team is not as clear-cut. His Bureau of Reclam- ation and Army engineers did all the preliminary planning for the valley, but their aims clashed. Army wanted to use the valleys water for navigation and widen and deepen the Missouri. Reclamation wanted to use it for irrigation and power development.
 Realizing they were liable to wear themselves out with their own dis putes before the time came for the real battle, Army and Reclamation performed what is generally called shotgun wedding" They con- solidated their interests and ironed out the major difficulties in order

thinks the 1944 Flood Control Bill goes about as far as government ac- tivity should go in the valley. They say it's O. K. for Uncle Sam to sub sidize irrigation and power projects that aren't profitable for private promotion, but to stop there.
 CITE BENEFITS
 It is the opinion of many indus trialists that America should cut down on agricultural production to permit large foreign imports and thereby foster trade relations for sale of our manufactured goods abroad. For various reasons import ant trade interests in the large cities of the Lower Basin are also fighting further development of the valley.
 Proponents of the MVA idea have

a strong case. In three years floods caused $121 ,000, 900 damage. In one year 9OO,0OO acres of good farm land were ruined. Wasted power re- sources, impoverished farmers, river pollution add other trenchant argu- ments for the "authority'' scheme.
 Here are some of the benefits, proponents say, if MVA is approved: Food production would be increased $100, ,500000 yearly. More than 125,- 900 new families would have pros porous farms on the newly irrigated land. It would end bankruptcy as a result of floods and droughtS. Con- Struction of the plan alone would provide jobs for at least 100000 men for five years. More than 600,000 farms would get electric power for the first time.
