Other Flood Control Plans.
Now, in 1886 and 1887, when Congress
passed the acts which authorized the
surveys of the Potomac, the problem of
flood control was in the minds of those
who voted for the bills. That is the
stated objective in the acts, though
there is clause which suggests con-
sideration of other beneficial uses. 1t is
evidently under this clause that the
engineers have justified this proposal for
power, which, ostensibly, is for the pur-
pose of paying for flood control.
I call attention to the report of the
Secretary of Agriculture to Congress in
September of 1943, which proposes
sound program for water-flow retarda-
ton through the practice OF recommend
ed agricultural practices which would, in
themselves, bring about great benefit to
the farmers of the region. Over pc
riod of "a years something less than
one million dollars would be spent by
the Federal Government, supplemented
by an equal amount by the farmers
themselves in cash and non cash out
lays and smaller amounts by the States.
This program would retard waterflow,
especially of the smaller and more fire.
quent floods. The river banks of the
upper river and it's tributaries would be
improved There would be no damage.
If it proved that this program should
be supplemented by few flood-control
storage dams, this could be worked out
without damage to the river in the vi
cinity of Washington and with min
imum of damage in the upper river.
Finally, would like to call attention
to the progress that has been made un-
der the Capper- -Cramton Act of 1880.
Nearly million dollars has been ex-
pended for acquisition of land on the
Maryland side of the river above Chain
Bridge: The entire c. & o. Canal has
been acquired at cost of more than
$2,5O0000, and the lower % miles has
been developed as an increasingly pop
ular recreational waterway. 1t seems to
me that the principal charm of the
George Washington Memorial Park
way will be making accessible by park
way and trail the natural wild scenery
of the Potomac River. It would Ger
tainly be mistake to destroy or dam
age the Potomac River Valley, praised

The war came home to Japan last week
In a manner which has definitely in
creased the optimism of those who see
the Nipponese headed for defeat many
months earlier than had been antici-
pated year ago.
Easter Sunday morning a successful
landing was made on OkinaWa Island
in the Ryukyus which was quickly ex-
plotted until the island had been cut in
half and three airfields brought into
the possession of the Marines and SOL
diers who swarmed ashore to the num-
Der of 100000 from units of the armada
of 1,400 ships which stood off shore.
Toward the end of last week fighter
planes from land bases for the first time
raided Tokyo and Russia denounced the
treaty of nonaggression between the
Soviet and Japan and almost simul-
taneously the entire japanese cabinet
resigned. The Japs lost battleship
and five light vessels, the United States
three destroyers in a weekend naval
engagement.
Whiae the Japs were having their
troubles, the Allies continued to smash
German resistance until at the end of

were only 80 miles from Berlin. High

three Would-be farm operators will have

while 1t may retain some OF its war

sion prospects and high ratio of new

migration on the part of servicemen is
shown by the survey. A similar picture
can be drawn for the West-north-cen

"On the other hand, the Pacific Coast,
with its background of prewar and war

new labor market additions, can expect
a heavy immigration of servicemen after

Rr Senator Arthur Cabter.

Br Senator Arthur Cabber.
Ever since l first entered the Senate,
proposals have been made from time to
time to develop power on the Potomac
River. Senator Norris introduced
bill to authorize the Federal Govern
ment to install power works on the
Potomac shortly after the creation of
the Federal Power Commission in 1920,
but. although this bill passed the Senate
it did not pass the House.
When, in 1927, as Chairman of the
Senate Committee on the District of
Columbia, I was serving on the newly
created National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, private COM
pany applied to the Federal Power Com
mission for a preliminary permit to
make surveys on the Potomac for the
purpose of perfecting plans for power
project. The Planning Commission went
into the subject very thoroughly at that
time and I concurred in the almost
unanimous vote that the best use of the
Potomac Valley in the vicinity of Wash
ington was for park purposes. Ger
tainly at that time it seemed inadvis-
able to destroy for all time the fireplace
able scenic assets of the river unless 1t
could be proven that power would be of
greater importance and justified in the
public interest.
Mr. Cramton introduced into the
House and introduced into the Senate
what became known as the Capper-
Cramton bill to authorize, as part of
a regional park system the purchase of
the George Washington Memorial Park
way, in cooperation with the States of
Maryland and Virginia; but, while that
bill was pending, there seemed to be
some danger that the Federal Power
Commission would grant preliminary
permit to the Potomac Electric Power Co.,
in accordance with the recommendation
of the District engineer and the chief
of engineers of the United States Army.
And so I joined with Mr.. Cramton in
securing a congressional resolution to
prevent the Federal Power Commission
from granting preliminary permit to
any corporation until Congress had the
opportunity of passing on the best use
of the Potomac River for the public
good.
Considered Question Answered.
also sent letter to each member
of the Federal Power Commission-the
Secretary of War, the Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of Agricul-
opposing the issuance of prelim-
mary permit to any corporation to de-
velop power through the construction
of reservoirs within this area.
When the Capper- -Cramton bill final
ly became law in 1880, considered
that Congress had answered the ques-
ton as to what was at that time the best
use for the Potomac River Valley In the

vicinity of Washington. 1t Is true that
the Capper-Cramton Act did contain a
provision that 1.-The acquisition of any
land in the Potomac River Valley for
park purposes shall not debar or limit
or abridge its use for such works as Con-
gress may in the future authorize for
the improvement and the extension OF
navigation or for flood control
or irrigation or drainage, or for the
development of hydroelectric power" I
considered that Congress would have
this power in any case. If Congress
has changed its mind, it would have
that power today. But think that the
conditions have not changed and that
the answer of Congress today should be
the same as it was in 1880.
At the time the Capper-Cramton bill
came before the congressional commit
tees on the District of Columbia, Sem
ator Norris also reintroducted his bill
for public power. This is not question
to settle for public or private develop
ment of power. We are opposed to the
physical development of power by any
one which will destroy or damage the
uniquely beautiful natural river seem
cry of the Potomac in the vicinity of
Washington.
IA Dams Planned.
The present proposals of the District
and division engineers, now before the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors, would introduce artificial back
waters, raising the level of the river in
IA dams from 80 to 276 feet. This would
create an almost continuous series of
reservoirs in the bed of the Potomac
from Washington to Hancock, Md.
There would be several short stretches
between these reservoirs. A great deal
is made of the fact that the reservoir
below Great Falls would not flood out
the actual falls and the reservoir above
it would be out of sight around a bend
of the river.
But If one reads the proposals care
fully, it can be seen that the so-called
multiple purpose dam at River Bend
would be constructed in connection
with works which would control the
amount Of water permitted to flow over
Great Falls. The plan is to allow some
water to flow over the falls in the day
light hours of the summer months, but to
turn of the flow at other times insofar
as needed for power development.
The Chain Bridge and Bear Island
reservoirs, constructed purely for power
purposes, would destroy the stately
palisades by reducing these rocky walls
to lowly boundaries, would flood out
the wooded banks on the Maryland
side, and would substitute reservoirs
which the engineers state would offer
superior recreation facilities. The
changing levels of reservoirs have not in
most places made them suitable for use

Everybody and his brother has been
proposing postwar plans for veterans.
Now comes the Army with lineup OF
what the soldier plans for himself.
The research branch of the Army
Service Forces information and educa-
ton division interviewed thousands of

listed men. In this cross-section study
it found that fully two-thirds of the

for an employer after the warm indus
try, on the farm or in government.

where they lived before the war. But

men plans to switch to another State.

Survey a Good Guide.
The Army researchers grant that the
plans of some men may change, put
they say that the general pattern re-
vealed by the study should be OF great
help to postwar planners in government,
industry and labor.
Here are some detailed findings:
A little over one-third of the white
enlisted men who we're employees before
induction, and plan to be such after the
war, expect to go back to their old
bosses; another one-third say they may
return; the rest say they'll make stab
elsewhere.
About so per cent of this group intend
