Flood Control Attacked
AS Worse Than Floods

OKLAHOMA CITY. up =
Farmers along the North Canadian
River are complaining that the gov

than the floods.
The farmers organized the North
Canadian Flood Control Associa-

released from the big Canton dam

thousands more useless through

Letter By Martin Luther | oWife
Believed Discovered In Finland

HELSINKI, Finland. = up = An
old Finnish forester foraging
through an antique trunk is be-
lieved to have found letter Mar
tin Luther wrote to his wife in
1541, five weeks before his death.
Two Finnish experts said the
letter, on grey, handmade paper,
appeared to be genuine. How it
came to Finland was a mystery
because the text has appeared be-
fore in books and Luther's letters
Hpublished in Germany.
In the letter, dated Sept. 18, the
great Protestant advised his wife
: to remain calm, apparently in the
face of the threat to Central Eu-
rope by the rampaging Ottoman
forces of Suleiman I, which had
captured Budapest only few weeks
before.
The letter. like most letters be
fore and since, complained that
Frank Luther had not written him
for some time.

The letter said:

The two experts who studied the
letter said it probably was the
original rather than a copy. The
paper was old and hand-processed
