END PICk-SLOAN PLAN
NONSENSE SAYS beard
OF IUMM&SW

DENVER-The four international
Union of Mine, Mill & Smelter Work
ers today called upon members of
| Congress TO cease their senseless
extravaganza for war and to divert
sufficient funds to set up the Mis-
souri, Valley Authority"
The. officers = President J h n
Clark, Vice Presidents Orville Larson
and Charles H. Wilson, and Secretary
Treasurer Maurice E. Travis, charged
that "the utility trusts and Army
brass hats are again responsible for
unparalleled waste and human suf-
fering caused by the overlooking Mis-
souri, River"
"Once again." they said, Gas it
has each year for the past ten, it has
been demonstrated that the Pick
Sloan plan to control the course of
the Missouri is futile, nonsensical,
extravaganza, and the pet project of
hard-boiled lobby of the power COM
panies and reactionary military en-
gineers."
The Mine-Mill officers statement

made recently by the ST. Louis Post
that "Now is the time to lay
a sound basis for stopping floods and
saving soil and Harvesting water

done nearly 20 years ago in the Ten

through a disaster" was clear
enough. That the inconvenience
caused by the moving in of water
was disaster" could not be denied.
The disaster" to which they returned
was appalling. High estimates of
damage were made during the time
of indetermination when the water
was still over the land. Planes flying
over the flood area could report $50
much water here" and $50 much
water there.
A survey of the area could tell
farmers their floors were under wa
ter. The family that had hopefully
lacked up the stove, refrigerator and
deep freeze, knew before they return
ed to their home the futility of their
work. Reports and aerial pictures
showed water had reached the sec
ond story of their home. Many of
these unpleasant facts were virtual
ly assured before personal inspection
was possible to the disaster family.
These costs could be estimated in the
dollars and cents damage before the
water receded. The farmer who was
located within the current of the
flood waters could be told that his
buildings were no longer holding
forth in the same place as he had left
them, and that he would have to look
for them downstream"
So there was little optimism in the
hearts of these families when they
worked their way back to their homes.
Disaster" in the damage by flood
to farmers home is something the

A noisy Republican economy
drive left hardly a dent today in
an appropriation bill for the
Treasury and Post Office Depart

The House, under Republican
iprodding. chipped $3,890,00 from
the measure, but it resisted other
proposed cuts and finally voted to
give the two departments $3,438,-
/ SOS, 900 for operating expenses dur
ing fiscal 1858.
This was the first appropriation
bill to hit the House floor this ses-
sion. The House Appropriations
Committee already had trimmed
$72. 100000 from President Tru-
mans budget requests for the two
departments.
From the House floor came Re-
pulican cries for more cuts. At

yesterday ordered two former Of
flcers Of the Chinese Air Force
to render an accounting of some
$50 million in Government funds
looking toward the recovery by the
Chinese Nationalist government OF

actually were given the funds by
the Chang regime.

The judges action was in the
form of a default judgment
against one of the airmen, 1t. Gen.
p. T. Now, who failed to appear
in court.
William Roberts, attorney for
Gen. Now. read telegram he
said had been received from the
general, who has been variously
reported in Texas and in Mexico.
The wire, which was sent from
Texas, read in part:

impossible. In due course I
expect to reveal completely all
of the information which should
become public. You are di-
rected to take all steps necessary
to protect the interests Of the
Republic Of China. :"

The Chang regime had filed
suit seeking an accounting and
control of the funds and demand
ing that the two airInen, Gen. Now

procurement officers here, turn
over all records.
The defendants have contended
the Chang regime was corrupt.

The old question Of whether to

If the average woman had fine
muscular tones she would be much
better of using her muscles to
hold her tummy in. However
this is not the case. The average
middle-aged woman has dropped
special exercise long ago, if she
ever took it. and after q child or
two. or even If she has not had
children. finds her abdominal
muscles lax.
The very effort of holding the
abdomen in is a fine exercise but
the muscles of many women are
so weak that this is impossible
for any length of time. II these
muscles sag, our internal organs
do likewise. This can lead to a
great deal Of trouble. Constipa-
ton. fatigue or backache may
result.
Therefore the best plan for the
average woman to follow Is to try
