IS Move For
Political Control .

Rep. Wesley "a. D'EWart this
week attacked new Missouri
Valley Authority proposals as
an effort mot to control floods,
but rather to set up a new poll
teal control in the Missouri
BASIN"
Several bills proposing the es-
tabliShment of a Missouri VAL
ley Authority with broad poll
teal, social and economic pow
ers in the development of the
Missouri river have been intro
duced in Congress since the
floods of early July.
I'VE have a plan for develop
ment of the. Missouri valley"
D'EWart told the House of Rep
reSentatiyeS. "We are making
progress in irrigation, flood con-
troll, soil conservation and the
development of mineral and
forest resources. We would be
making greater progress except
for the presidents ban on new
construction starts.
This plan is being carried
out by experts in federal
agencies concerned, with the
cooperation, advice and consent
of the people of the area and
the local governments. The
MVA bills actually propose to
use these same plans. MVA adj
vocates are simply using the
tragic floods in Kansas and
Missouri as an excuse to try
once again to foist absolute fed
eral authority on the people
and resources of the Missouri
BASIN"
"In flood time or drought, the
proposed MVA is a Socialistic
monster" D'EWart stated. ut is
uneconomical and unsound. It
is phony. We do not need it
now or ever. Its primary pur-
pose is not to control floods,
but rather to set up federal
political control in the Mis-
souri, BASIN"
D'EWart referred to President
Humans endorsement of MVA
as a transparent political
maneuver by the very man
whose budget orders have pre-
vented construction of new Mis-
souri, river projects that would
have helped materially to re-
duce the recent floods :.
