 Hartford, Conn. Feb. 8-UP)- A sudden thaw, melting the huge accumulations of snow in the Con- necticut river basin in Vermont and New Hampshire, would present seri- ous flood dangers throughout the river valley. Gen. Sanford II. Wad- hams Of the State Flood Control and Water Policy Commission warned today.
 These accumulations, said Wad- hams, now are deeper than at any time in the last l3 years, and a bulletin of the Geological Survey Of the Department of Interior states that snow courses in the Winooski and Connecticut river basins, show about 50 per cent above normal water content, or about six to seven inches. If the cold weather con- tinues without breakup during February, a definite possibility Of @ damaging spring flood exists"
 The river at Hartford now is at three and one-half feet, as com pared with flood stage of l6 feet. Although the city itself is protected by dikc planned to keep back water up to 43 feet, anything over 16 feet will cause inundations in the loWlandS in the surrounding unprotected areas. according tc the weather bureau.

neartening Letter From
Buddy Gives Details of
Death Of Pfc. Matt,

OSASuu VI ] Us uvo0Ss,
Mrs. William Matt has re.
ceived the following heartening
letter from one of the buddies of
her 500, the late Pfc. Issac Matt,
who was killed in line of duty in
Germany February "a:
dear Mrs. Matt:
1T has been impossible for me
to write you under our army rules
until sure that you had been noti-
fed officially by the War Depart
ment of Isaac's death.
Il was his platoon leader and
he was my runner or messenger
and vent everywhere with me.
We were quite good friends. |
cannot tell you how much all of
the men in the platoon miss him
Everyone in the entire company
knew him and liked him very
much. Our loss is only surpassed
by your own.
Il thought it might be of some
small help to you to know some
thing more about his death than
the War Department generally
suites.
"As you may know. we of the
84th had been staying with some
people in Holland for several
weeks in February. waiting to
cross the Roer River. which was
flooded.
ION February % we did cross
Isaac and went across on
small foot.bridQe with the rest of
our platoon and spent the night
in the town of Runich, Germany
On the morning of February "a
We set out along the road leading
to town called Boal. Along the
way the Germans fired on us
with a big gun and we all took
cover in fox holes alongside the
road.
Isaac thought the Smelling had
ended and stood up to look
around just when another shell
hit nearby and a fragment hit
him on the chest. l was several
feet away and went over to him
l summoned a medical aid man
who gave him immediate first aid
and we got jeep at once to take
him back to the hospital. There
was nothing we could do.
Il do not believe he suffered at
all and died before many minutes
elapsed.
He was q good soldier and
died a soldiers death. The rest of
US are fighting for the same
things that he was aud we do
not forget the men with whom
we are serving.
"All the men join me in ex.
pressing our deepest sympathy
to all of you."

Tribal Welfare
To Be Enhanced
BY Proper Steps
By Mary B. Salois, Chairman,
Convention Publicity
Committee

committee
From all sections of the Black
feet Indian Reservation have
gathered members of the tribe to
sit in judgement on the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the
Wheeler-Howard Bill, passed by
Congress in 1884, and accepted
and put in operation on this
reservation in 1885.
This group of 30 members of
the tribe was picked by the
Blackfeet Tribal Council to sit in
and work with them on these
vital questions, concerning the
future of the whole tribe.
An investigation committee of
the House of Representatives in
and headed By the late James F.
O'Connor visited this tribe last
wear and on completion of their
trip to various tribes they made
complete report back to WASH
ington.
The report was read to this
group by the chairman of the
Tribal Council. Joseph W. Brown,
who is also chairman of the con-
vention. 1t was then thoroughly
analysed and discussed, and it is
very evident that the report as
made is not in its entirety appIi-
cable to the BIackfeet Indians. 1t
can Re shown conditions existing
on some reservations in Montana
do not exist on this reservation.
In consequence of this report
it was decided on revising and
ammending the Wheeler, Howard
Bill to conform to the needs and
abilities of the Indians on the
Blackfeet reservation.
This convention takes the po-
sition that the members of our
tribe are capable of handling
their own affairs with the proper
cooperation of the Indian Bur-
eau.
The tribal rights of individual
members will in no way be jeop-
ardized by any of these new plans
coming out of this convention.
We have and are trying 10 put
over to the tribe that the efforts
and determinations of this con-
ven tion are for a better postwar
way of living for us here. This
convention Was decided with that
in mind. No one is going to at
tempt to help US if we do not
show we can help ourselves.
All these new rulings and re-
visions decided OF are being put
before the whole convention and
are thoroughly discussed before
any final decisions are m d
which will in turn have to receive
the approval of the Secretary of
Interior. This convention was
vital necessity because it will
make laws and ask for all that
means better future for every
member of the Blackfeet tribe.
Due to the convention being in
progress a complete report on
definite plans and decisions made
cannot be made public until the
next issue of the Chief.
The officers presiding at the
convention are Joseph Brown,
chairman; Leo Kennerley. secre.
tary; John Old Chief, sergeant.at
| arms; and Pansy Cavanagh.

tails on the experience of LIST 1t.

ing a Japanese 4Omm. antiair-
craft shell under the seat of your
pants while flying at 900 feet
isn't exactly pleasant. as 1st 1t.
Ronald J. Rice. will attest.
Rice, q tactical air observer
with the Third Marine Division,
was flying over the northern
sector Of Two Jima. observing
enemy troop movements and de.
tense positions when his plane,
piloted by a Naval aviator. was
hit in the belly by Jap antiair-
craft shell.
The 25.year.old Montanan suf-
fered flesh wound in the right
foot from a fragment of the
shell. The pilot and radio-gunner
were uninjured.
Il didn't know I was hit until
we were on our way to land"
Rice said. Then forgot about
it because we knew our wheels
would fold when the plane hit.
and that gave me other things to
think about"
The plane eased onto Motoya.

a three-point landing and the
wheels promptly collapsed.
when the wheels went, l

cold for about five minutes

The plane slid for 1875 yards
and came to stop n e a r
the airfield road. There were no
injuries to the crew other than
slight bruises.
Rice is a graduate of the Uni.
versity of Montana. He received
q commission in the Marines June
l6. 1913, and has been overseas
Is months.
According to Rice. the air over
Two lima during the early days
of the campaign was like Grand
Central Station.
Il never saw so many planes
in my life." he stated, some
we're diving. others climbing,
some strafing. and the tiny OBJ
servation planes were trying
madly to get out of the way of
anything bigger.
"On one dive we made to 10.

the Jaos apparently didn't hear
US until the last minute. Then az
we swooped down he tooklotf in q
wild dash toward a hole on the
