Flood Control Measure
With River-HarborAid
Up in Senate Today
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

A bill authorizing Federal con-
Eruction of flood control and
rivers and harbors projects cost
ing an estimated total of 81 ,564,-
-000, 900 is due for consideration in
the Senate today.
There are projects in nearly
every State. Some are new,
others would enlarge or extend
works already authorized.
Passed by the House last year,
the bill has been delayed in the
Senate since early in January,
while the Senate debated several
other bills-some at considerable
length.
Basinx Point Bill in Way.
When the Senate adjourned
Thursday, it was expected the
public works bill would be up to-
day. But it may be delayed again
this time until the Senate dis
poses of a conference report on
CQe OaSlng pOlnC DILL.
As passed by the House last year
the bill called for nearly $1.2 bill
lion in projects. Senate commit
tee amendments and projects ac-
cepted by the Senate in a brief
consideration of the bill last
October have boosted the total to
approximately $l,564,000.00O. OF
this sum, 1928 million is for rivers
and harbors projects, s1,336,OO0.-
600 for flood control.
Irrigation projects proposed by
the Senate Interior Committee
would cost another Sab million.
However. Senator Magnuson,
Democrat. of Washington, sponsor
of those projects. fears they will
have rough going.
Army Engineers in Charge.
Virtually all the construction
work under the bill is to be done
by the Army engineers.
The Army engineers have been
under fire in several quarters.
First, the Hoover Commission rec
commended that all their civil
functions-chiefly such projects
as these-be handed over to a new
agency in the Interior Depart
ment.

In his charges, Senator Malone
said that Mr.. Lees original name,
Ephraim Zinovi Liberman, was
changed after he came to this
country in 1892. The Investigate

else to find out if any one in this

Turning to other matters, Sec
retary Sawyer described the busi-

Of the year as excellent" He
noted a drop of 100000 in the

fix a point at which unemploy-

critical, the Secretary said.
THE danger is that people will
become panicky if such a hypo-

that. above all things, is what we
want to avoid.
I'VE think business is sounc

Mr.. Sawyer gave special empha
sis to a point concerning the fu-
ture of the Patent Office under a
proposed reorganization plan. HI
said there had been some anxiety
expressed that independence OF
the Patent Office would be af-
fected.
Mr.. Sawyer said this would not
