 Chairman John s. Wood, (D.-Ga). ordered the subpoena issued after Adamson claimed that Friedman had broken his promise to appear voluntarily.
 He said he would come with the Service Committee" Adamson said. But, instead, he sent his regrets and suggested we put matter off for two or three weeks. This was not in accord with his promise"
 Adamson said the Unitarium Serv- Ice Committee did not seem en- thusiastic about Friedman"
 They told us they had no control over him and he had no control over them," he said.
 The Service Committee represent atives outlined to the House inyes- tigators their work in assisting Loy- alist Spanish refugees who have found haven in France and Portugal.
 William Emerson, dean emeritus of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology architectural school, headed the delegation. After the hearing yesterday, Adamson indicated he was satisfied and said he had no plans to call the Service Committee back.

 The drafts offered little vital change in the troub led status quo-eXcept for withdrawal of Russian patton troops from the Balkans and British-American forces from Italy

Hungary would be required to pay another S100000,000 to Yugoslavia and Czechosovakia.
 On the other side of the financial ledger, the Russians objected to clauses granting United Nations citizens full compensation for losses incurred in defeat ed countries and proposed instead that compensation be limited to a third of the losses
 The Soviet Union also objected to having assets of defeated nations in United Nations countries and Germany subject to seizure to meet U. s. French and British claims and asked that such assets be restored to the b eaten nations.
 Territorial clauses in the five drafts also held ad- vantage for Russia.
 In the of Italy, five small border slices would go to France eastern Veneza Giuia would go to Yu- goslava the Dodecanese Islands Greece the African colonies would meet some undecided fate and the port of Trieste would be internationalzed under United Nations Supervision.

 Bert Lybeck, who was City Street Department foreman during the 1943 flood recounted the events then and told how the City was forced to call upon the Army and the USED for assistance and then a major disaster was only narrow ly averted Three Army, II USED and two City trucks hauled rock all through the night, while a crew of soldiers aided in placing it. Lybeck put common high water peNods at: From mid-April to mid-May and from mid-September to mid-Octo- Der.
 Standard Oil Company manager in Juneau Tom Dyer expressed his company's concern for its tank farm and plant, which is in the danger area. Investment there is $110,000 plus an average inventory of 45,000 barrels of oil stocks, he said Plans are underway to en- large the plant next spring.
 Improve Values
 In reply to Col. Hewitt, Mayor Hendrickson said property values in the threatened area would be improved by adequate flood control, as there are many persons unwill- ing to undertake building there be- cause of the flood threat. The ball park, which is especially vulnerable, offers otherwise advantageous resi- dential sites, he pointed out.
 To assist in the project, the City of Juneau would be willing to un- dertake maintenance and repair of improvements put in by the United States, the Mayor said. The City would keep the concrete lining in repair and would keep the stream bed cleaned out. The City is now spending S3,000 yearly on such work, he advised, but is losing ground because present improve ments are not adequate. Mayor Hendrickson hesitated to say that

the City would remove or raise any Ci the briges crossing Gold Creek if that were found necessary, be- cause the Council has not author ized such action but said he feels sure it would cooperate.
 McNamara stated that the Ninth street bridge could be raised, and added his opinion that girders un- der the bridges are. deeper than necessary.
 Asks More Figures
 In closing the hearing, Col. Hew- it asked for additional figures as to valuation of properties that might be destroyed hy Gold Creek flood SC that damage estimates could be compared with project costs.
 Several witnesses who. had pre- pared to attend the hearing at the time scheduled, o'clock yester- day afternoon, were unable to ar range to attend the evening ses- sion. The PA plane bringing Col. Hewitt and Hopkins from Seattle did not arrive until past the 3 o'clock hour. Col Hewitt advised that he plans to maintain the re- mainder of his Alaska hearing schedule as stated

 1918 Flood Told
 The disastrous flood that occurr- ed in September, 1918, was describ- ed by attorney H. L. Faulkner, who called it by far the worst ever had here. Fifteen houses were carried away then, he said. Rainfall mea- sured at Perseverance at the time tctalled 13.9 inches-in two days 6.5 inches the first day, "A inches the next. At that time the flood wa ters entirely surrounded the Gov ernment Hospital. Seventeen pa tients were evacuated by boat. All the bridges crossing the stream were washed away but there was no loss of life. In subsequent lawsuits the developers of the Casey-Shattuck Addition were blamed for changing the course of the stream but they won out in all the suits.
 McNamara reported that a stream guage installed in Gold Creek by the U. s. Geological Survey showed from 0.3 feet to 3.2 feet in two days of last weeks high water A rise to 40 feet would mean a flood, in his view Rainfall in Perseverance basin, source of Gold Creek flood waters, is normally just twice that n Juneau, according to old wealth

The local boys showed their bat
ting power in the first inning by
driving over 6 runs to take the
lead which was held throughout
the game. Deakyne started on the
mound for Smyrna and although
relieved in the fifth by Hudson,
was credited with the win. Four
hurlers paraded to the mound for
Cecilton but all were unsuccessful
in checking the powerful bats of
the local nine. The crowd was one
of the largest ever to witness a
game in Smyrna and despite the
chilly wind which prevailed all
through the game, stayed until the
last man was out. The next game
will be played this Sunday, Octo-
