National Defense and Flood
Control

Should Flood Prevention be classed
by Congress as National Defense and
more money be appropriated for it's
permanent cure? In spite of "Pick and
Sloan" its a well-known fact that the
MISUNDERSTANDING river bottom ri
ses several inches between the dykes
each year regardless of dykes and
dredging and it will only be matter
of time before the banks will have to
be anchored to the Churchsteeples on
surrounding lowlands. The heavy snow
fall of the winter should have given
us ample warning of what to expect
this Spring, but we were too much
occupied with Foreign Affairs to re-
alize our immediate Danger. The Floods
were not unavoidable Calamities as
iva in Tennessee has conclusively
proven.
Had the Chinese Army landed on our
Coast, it would have caused no more
CONSERVATION than what mo" did
when it left it's banks. 1t was Sad

Ike Spurns Offer By Truman
By Associated Press

General Eisenhower de- clined President Truman's in- vitation for a White House "briefing'' on the world danger spots with a tart re- hinder he's lived with such problems for years.
 He told the President he wants to steer clear of direct contact with the present ad- ministration. thus remaining free to criticize policies.
 In answering the Presi- dents invitation Ike said. T believe our communications should be only those which are to all American people. :" A few hours later at a news conference President Truman said Eisenhower was free to publicize any of his state ments.
 The President added that Eisenhower has 'garbled" some of the things already told him. He wouldn't enlarge on the 'garbling" charges. He said the idea of briefing both Gov. Stevenson and Eisenhower originated 10 days ago. Gen. Omar Bradley, who had been asked to invite Eisenhower to briefing, said he failed to do so believing there was ''no hurry.
 Meanwhile, Gov. Stevenson cut loose with a volley of barbed quips on the COP at a Democratic rally. He called for a halt in the tidal wave of centralized power sweep ing toward Washington, Vice President Barkley charged Eisenhower with be- ing the "captive candidate" rather than Stevenson.

Housing Project Hinges On Special Election

Kodiak voters will be called upon September 2, to decide whether they approve an ordi- nance which provides for the vacation of certain streets and alleys on the east addition plat which are in the area where the proposed housing project IS to be built.
 The entire housing project hinges on this election. 50% or more of the ballots cast must be marked ''yes' by those voting in the election.
 The present streets and al, leys do not conform to a prac- tical or economic plan for con- struction of houses or the lay ing of sewers and water mains.
 A new plat has been prepar- ed by Aleutian Homes Inc, sponsors of the housing pro- iect, which has streets and alleys laid out that conform to the natural contours of the land.
 Voters will be asked to vote yes or no on the proposition. The city council has an ordin- ance prepared for the vacation of the old plat.
 The polling place will be at the city hall. Hours for voting are 8 am to 7 pm. Persons wishing to vote must possess the qualifications of a voter.
 The registration book is now open at the city hall. The mo- tice of election with a detailed description of the streets and alleys appears on page 7 of to- days MIRROR.

City prisoners will not be lodged in the U. s. Federal Jail for the time being, U. s. Deputy Marshal Clarence Dizney said yesterday morn- ing.
 Marshal Dizney returned to Kodiak Thursday night from a trip to Anchorage and the states.
 The orders regarding city prisoners came from the U. s. Marshal of the Third Divi- sion's office, Dizney said. Earlier, U. s. Deputy Marshal Ivan Blood had closed the fed eral jail to city prisoners. (see earlier story page 3.
 The decision to not hold city prisoners in the federal jail followed the alleged slugging of a city prisoner by U. s. Jail guard.
