TOWNSVILLE, N. Y, Dec. 19.-
Men are working the clock around.
undermining and rearranging ma
ture, to wiring enough water out
of the rugged terrain OF southern
Delaware County to satisfy the
growing thirst of the biggest city
in the Nation.
AS the water supply for New
York dwindles-the harvest Of
decades of waste-the final five
years of construction is under way
on the Pepacton Reservoir, which
in 1855 will increase the city's
present supply by more than one
third.
Behind is two years and $12,-
100000 of unrelating preliminary
construction work; ahead lies go
months and an estimated $70,-
100000 of further battle with
stubborn nature.
Nature has not given in willingly
to the demands of 100000 New
Workers. It fought back in Decem-
ber, 1948, with a disastrous flood,
which set work back five months.
1t blasted the area last winter
with temperatures as low as 80
degrees below zero, in which men
were willing to work but machines
failed.
In the end, the east branch OF
the Delaware River will be con-
tanned by rolled earth dam, al
most a half mile long. The reser-
voir behind it will be a 200-foot
deep, 18-mile long lake containing
143, 3,5O0,000.000 gallons of water
largest in the city's water system.
From this reservoir alone will
flow at least 100000 gallons
of water a day to supplement the
daily average of 1,160, 100000 gal
Ions demanded by New Workers,
before the present shortage.
The next five years of construc-
ton will see accomplishment of
two projects in the picturesque
valley of the Delaware Rivers
east branch:
l. The moulding of 6.240.000
cubic yards of earth on the pres
ent skeleton of the dam to pro-
duce 200-foot-high structure
which will stem the river. The
cost Of this is estimated at $685.

about six weeks.

Again by Nationa|ists
On Chinese Blockade
By Gornett D. Horner

A new warning from the Chinese
Nationalist government that it is
Tightening" enforcement of So
called blockade of Communist
held ports and that any American
vessels which attempt to run the
blockade will do so at their own
risk, was relayed to American
shippers by the State Depart
ment today.
A note from the Chinese gov
ernment, dated December IL, re-
called it's order of last June clos
ing Chinese ports held by the
Communists to foreign shipping
and said:
with a view to tightening this
order, henceforth the Chinese gov
ernment will take such effective
measures as may be deemed nee
esSary.
Indirect Reference to Shanghai.
ANY foreign vessels which, in
violation of this order, should hit
any mine, sustain any damage and
losses, or encounter any risk OBJ
viously assume responsibility
themselves.
There was only the indirect ref
erence in the note to reported
plans for mining the waters
around Shanghai.
A. State Department spokesman
said the note, received Friday. had
nothing to do with a department
announcement Saturday warning
American shipping companies that
Shanghai now is Zone OF dan
ger"
In the Saturday announcement
the department said, 1T is obvious
that American lives and property
should not be exposed to such
risks and all masters of American
fagships are warned accordingly"
Convoy Request Refused.
Two ships of the Isbrandtsen Co.
of New York have been fired on
by Nationalist warships in the
Shanghai area recently. Demands
of that company for American
naval convoy of their ships have
been refused.
A State Department spokesman
said the new note from the Chi
nese Nationalist government does
not change the American Govern
ment's position that the foreclo-
sure order is not legal blockade.
The note offered safe conduct"
to any foreign ships that might be
in the blockaded waters which
would leave by today. Officials
said no American ships were in
the affected area now.

legislation to this effect has bot
tied up in committee.
However, during the past few
years employe groups haven't had
too much time TO work on the
measure, concentrating instead on
pay raise and retirement legisla-
ton.
Now, with these latter two OBJ
jectives achieved, employe lead
ers say they are ready to work in
earnest on behalf of "separation
wage" legislation. They declare
that Federal employees are entitled
to the same protection from job
lessness as are most workers in
private industry.
FAIRNESS-The Civil Service
Commission strongly opposes the
views of its former commissioner,
Arthur S. Flemming. who as
a member of the Hoover Com
mission vigorously urged the de-
Capitalization of personnel author
ity away from the commission to
the individual departments and
agencies. Mr.. Flemming spoke at
last weeks rally on behalf of the
Hoover report.
However, as much as the COM
mission opposes Mr.. Flemming'S S
position on decentralization. 1t
nevertheless was fair enough to
report the highlights of his speech
without coment in its weekly pub
lication that is sent to all the civil
service regional offices.
X X X x
COVERAGE-The Federal Per-
sonnet Council. the official ad-
visory body to the Civil Service
Commission. will recommend the
extension of the Social Security
Act to cover thousands of tempo
rary Federal employees who are
not eligible for regular civil serv-
ice retirement benefits.
There has been some opposition
to such a move because some en-
ploye groups feel that such a step
would open the way to the
eventual inclusion of all Govern
ment workers under social security
is far less beneficial than
the civil service retirement system
However, the Council thorough
ly looked into the situation and
is convinced that there is no need
for fear on that score. Accord
ingly, it will urge the commission
to ask Congress to include these
temporary workers under social
security benefits comes up for
House and Senate action next
year.
STATUS-More than 81 per
cent of all Government employees
now have permanent status, COM
pared with only 33 per cent at the
end of the war.
This means that the Civil Serv-
ice Commissions program to re-
convert Government employment
to a permanent basis is nearing
completion. A certain number of

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 19.-r
Hoover Commission proposals con-
corning the Veterans Administra-
ton are accepted "the veteran will
lose his identity as veteran" an
American Legion national official
said yesterday.
Brig. Gen. John Thomas Taylor
of Washington, D. c., said the pro-
posals will in reality destroy the
functions of the Veterans Admin
istration and In turn they would
be attempting to destroy the
American Legion"
He spoke at the 20th annual
conference of post and county
commanders of the Department
of New Jersey, American Legion.
Gen. Taylor said 100000 vet
Grams are in Federal civil service.
IF the Hoover Commission pro-
posals were to be approved vet
erans' preference would 60 out the
window" he said.
"The Hoover proposal takes
away our hospitals right at the
time that we need more beds and
more hospitals" the general
added.
He said "this is the first step
toward the Federal socialized
medical program. The American
Legion is opposed to this pro-
gram"
The VA is "the most efficient
Government agency there is be-

As Student Nearly Dies

ITHACA, N. Y, Dec. 19.-Cor-
nell University today struck two
drinking societies" from the list
of recognized student organiza-
tions after a student almost died
repeatedly from drinking a quart
of Martini Cocktails.
In a letter in the Cornell Sun
this morning, Cornelius w. de
Kiewiet, acting president of the
university, said he had banned
all activities of Majura and Beth
famed (Mummy).
The Sun, student daily news
paper, said Mr.. De Kiewiet's
action resulted from an initiation
conducted by the two societies
Friday night, at which a student
drank IAN excess of Martins.
The Sun said the initiation
lasted an hour and half.
The university identified the
student as Harry c. Melton, 20,
a junior from Wallingford, Pa.
The Sun said Melton was taken
to the Cornell inf1rmary by men,
bers of the two societies after he
received an accidental cut on the
head.

Medium-Price Homes
Win High Place in LIST
OF New Truman Bills
BY the Associated Press


A broad program to step up
construction of homes costing
$500 to $4,000 was reported to-
day to have cllnched a high place
on President Truman's legislative
list for Congress next session.
An official of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration said the Ma
tons middle income families are
now among those most in need of
housing.
WED like to see more rental
units for this same forgotten man
group" he told a reporter.
Higher-Priced Demands Met.
He noted that home-building
has proceeded at a record pace
this year, with the result that the
demand for dwellings which cost
more than $4,000 has largely
been met.
But Americans in the middle
income brackets-eSpecially nom
veterans-have not yet been ade-
quately provided for, he said.
The purpose of any new legisla-
ton would be to make more lib
eral the present Federal guaran-
tees on home-building loans II
with the emphasis placed on
private construction.
The new program thus would
conform closely to legislation in
troduced during the last session
of Congress by Senator Sparkman,
Democrat, of Alabama.
Sparkman Advises Caution.
Senator Sparkman recently ad-
vised the administration to go
slow in extending its civil rights
program to the housing field if ltl
wants to get home-building meas
ures through Congress.
He referred to a new regulation
denying FILA and Veterans Ad-
