u. S. Chamber Would CurtoiI
Federal Water Resources Role

The Federal Governments part
in the development of the Nation S
water resources was weighed yes
terday by the United States Cham
ber of Commerce.
The consensus of a majority TAX
ing part in a luncheon round-table
discussion was that the Govern
ment's part should be a small one.
The discussion was conducted by
the chambers Natural Resources
Department. Presiding was A. L.
Lynn of Huntington, w. Va.
But Leland Olds, a former chair
man of the Federal Power Com
mission and a member of the re-
cent Presidents Water Resources
Policy Commission, said the Gov
ernment should provide the lead
|ership. He pointed out the major
river basins are interstate in char
acter.
He said the United States has
reached a point where it's pros
perity and security depend on it's
ability to extract more from a
diminishing natural resources re-
serve.
Demands Increase.
"The demands upon its re-
sources are increasing at an amaz-
ing rate" Mr.. Olds said. "The
Federal Governments response
bility for the Nations resources
base is, therefore, tremendous.
The urgency for full exercise of
that responsibility has become
critical"

Prisoner Recaptured
After Slippery Escape
From Marshall Van

The man who OUT -Houdini-eC
the "Celluloid Kid" was behind
bars again today less than l;
hours after he escaped from q
United States marshal's van.
Clarence A. Satterwhite. %, was
captured by deputy marshals at II
O'Clock last night near Thirteenth
and H streets NE.
Satterwhite was arraigned be.
fore United States Commissioner
Cyril S. Lawrence on the escape
charge and held for the granc
jury in $4,000 bond.
1t was revealed today that Sat.
terwhite, used a hairpin to pick
the lock of a handcuff with which
he was fastened to James E
Bishop, %, known as the "Cellu.
loid Kid" because of his alleged
skill Of picking doors with that
material.
Satterwhite told marshals he
picked up the pin when a woman

another occasion. Officials were

la working plan for that basin. He
said recently the commission de-
clared two ways lay open-to al
low the States to continue inde-
pendently, or to turn over the
whole thing to the Government.
He said the arguments against
Federal participation in resources
development have been generally
in reverse of the facts" He said
that, after 20 years, the critics
still are dealing in generalities.
Former Gov. Leslie A. Miller of
Wyoming, discussing State and
local responsibilities, urged a
greater part in resources develop
ments by these subdivisions.
Would Kill Dubious Plans.
He said it has been found that
where States and localities must
foot part of the bill for flood con-
troll and other development
projects, these projects usually are
conducted on a more business like
basis.
c. I. Weaver, Springfield (Ohio)
engineer, saw the Federal Gov
ernment's place in resources de-
velopment as that of referee. He
indorsed the necessity of the Gov
ernment's part in flood control
and urged greater State and local
participation in these issues.
L. v. Sutton. president of the
Carolina Power and Light Co.,
said the Government has no place
in the development of electric
power. He said our time -honored
way of life is being threatened by
the views Of the Interior Depart
ment."

In approving the rider yester-
day. the Senate acted after hear
ing Senator Ferguson, Republican
of Michigan charge there is toe
much travel and abuse of over
time in Federal agencies.
The cut in overtime would not
reduce the present rate of pay
ments, but if upheld by the House
in conference, it would mean
about 10 per cent less overtime
work for employees who are re-
quired to work extra hours.
The Senate also voted a 10 pei
cent cut in Treasury personne
funds below original budget esti-
mates. The Post Office Depart
ment would be cut only about
Iper cent.
So far, the House, in acting or
the various 1853 money bills, cut
the travel expenses on the indie
pendent agencies by 33 per cent
The other departments and agen-
cies have escaped travel cuts. Nc
overtime cuts were made in any
of the 1858 money bills.

Ferguson Halls Ruling
by Pine in Address
Before U. 5. Chamber
By Francis P Douglas

s~'s~s~ g.
d Senator Ferguson, Republican
Of Michigan. referring to the steel
lease decision, today told the
lBnited States Chamber of Com
lmerce that yesterday was a great
day for liberty and freedom"
E He asked where the liberals
were when the steel mills were
seized. Here in America, he said,
'1iberalism rides under the colors
of socialism"
He said that when the steel
mills and the labor unions were
seized Che referred to the third
paragraph of the, seizure order as
affecting the unions) reader of
the Congressional Record would
look in vain for any opposition by
liberals.
Formerly, he said, he might have
received 2,000 to 5000 letters on
such an important issue. This
time he received lust a scattered
few" because people are being
lulled into a sense of security
under the guise of liberalism.
Assails "Big Government"
Senator Ferguson assailed "big
government" and said it means
"big corruption" He said con-
gressional investigators of corrup-
tion are far from scraping the
bottom Of. the corruption barrel.
1--WE haven't even opened the
barrel" he asserted. "We, have
just seen that which is oozing out
because the barrel is overfull."
The Federal Government is
moving into the State "and taking
control of your lives there" he
said. He said he found 214 Fed
eral Government listings in the
Detroit telephone directory as
against 119 State Government
listings.
Senator Ferguson said the
Hoover Commission did little in
relation to the problem of big
government but was more con-
cerned with efficiency in Govern
ment.
He recommended a similar COM
mission to study cutting down
Government functions.
Senator Ferguson's address was
given at a general session of the
chambers convention which is in
its final day.
Controls Fight Asked.
The chamber had before it a
proposal that it wheel the full
force of its 5000 constituent or
ganizations against price and
wage controls.
The proposal was contained in
proposed declaration submitted
by the national chambers policy
committee. This declaration as
serted that reliance against infla-
tion should be placed chiefly in
indirect controls.
The statement was promptly
approved by the Board of Direc-
TORS. It will be submitted to the
vote of the members attending the
3eonvention.
Among the other points the
declaration contains. are these:
l. Stimulate maximum produc.
ton by a free price and wage
System that will concentrate ef-
fort on essential military anC
civilian needs.
/ Opposes Deficit Financing.
2. Decrease the burden on pro.
|duction and restrain imitation;
reduce substantially all Govern
ment expenditures, Federal, State
and local; achieve balanced ta1
structure: avoid deficit financing
provide incentives to work anc
lproduce-all consistent with thu
defense program.

Communities Urged
To Halt Pressure for
Federal Handouts

William H. Book, executive vice
president of the Indianapolis
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday
called on local communities to stop
pressure for Federal handouts.
Mr.. Book told a luncheon of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce that the Federal budget for
next year proposes So billion in
give-aWays to State and local gov
ernmentS. This, he said, is as
large as the total Federal budget
income for as late as 1884.
1.-TWO hundred and seventy local
chambers of commerce now have
committed themselves to abstain
from every pressure for more Fed
eral spending for their own ar-
parent benefit" Mr.. Book said.
He said this was reason for
some cautious encouragement"
and urged other local groups to
follow the same course to save
the Federal economy.
Told of Economy Move.
Mr.. Book addressed the lunch
con along with Senator McClel-
Ian, Democrat, of Arkansas and
Representative Phillips. Repub-
Ilican, of California.
Senator Mcclellan said his bill
to create a joint Congressional
committee on appropriations Of
IferS the best method for curbing
unnecessary Government expendi-
lures.
Senator Mcclellan complained
that. therefore, the separate
Senate and House Appropriations
Committees. with their small
staffs. have been overwhelmed by
witnesses of Federal agencies de-
manding money. The executive
agencies. he said, spend all year
marshaling arguments for the
money. and the committee mem
bers are unable to challenge these
demands.
Hits "Meat Ak" Cuts.
Congress has attempted. at
different times, to reduce appro-
priationS by percentage cut
across the board" Senator Nc
Clellan said. This is appropri-
ately termed the meat ak proc
ess. 1t is definitely a haphazard
and inefficient way to handle an
important task"
Mr.. Phillips called on business
men to use their high-powered
publicity men to tell the public
about Government spending.
"You had better put some
money into this current problem, "
Mr.. Phillips said. You can't
take the money with you and as
things are now in Washington,
you can't even keep it here.
Il am not concerned at the
moment, with candidates nor with
parties. I am concerned with the
theory of constitutional limita-
tions Of power as opposed to a
somewhat new theory of inherent
rights"
Evening star., 1952-04-30

mittee voted to reduce the cut to
10 per cent, however, and would
apply the reduction below the
original budget estimates. Also,
the Senate Unit would exempt
more bureauS such as Public
Health, Howard University, all
hospitals, Railroad Retirement,
Old Age and Survivors Insurance
and law enforcement divisions of
Wage and Hour and Food and
Drug.

SANTA MONICA, Calf, April
22.-Movie Producer Walter
Wanger was convicted today of
assault with a deadly weapon for
shooting his wife's agent.
The judge deleted the part of a
grand jury indictment which al
legged with intent to commit
murder" and reduced the charge
to assault with a deadly weapon.
Rather than proving murder
intent, said Superior Judge Harry
]. Borde, the evidence proves
quite to the contrary that he had
no such intent at ALL"
Judge Borde, who returned his
verdict before a filled courtroom,
had reached his decision on the
basis of testimony heard by the
county grand jury last Decem-
ber 18.
The gray, distinguished pro-
ducer who heard the decision
calmly, shot 39-year-old Jennings
Lang in the groin at dusk last
December 13 on a Beverly Hills
parking lot.
Mr.. Lang was standing beside
the car of Mr.. Wanger's movie
star wife, Joan Bennett. Mr..
Wanger told police che broke up
my home" But Miss Bennett, Al,
insisted her and Mr.. Lang's re-
lations were strictly business.
