Miami swept over it's banks

was the biggest flood in Day
ton history, but Dayton got to
work before folks had finished
scraping the river mud off the
streets. Citizens collected So
million for flood-control studies,
and developed a plan.
Then they ran into a surpris-

init private operation of flood
control projects. 1t took some
doing, but Daytonians got the
laws changed. They even or
ganized their Gwn contracting
agency, after bids submitted by
existing contractors proved UNI
satisfactory. =
They relocated bridges, roads,
railroad lines. But they got
their dams built, and since
completion there hasn't been a
flood in the Dayton area. Al
together, the project cost $31

National Chamber Of Commerce Says
lax Reductions Could be Made Possible

There's a lot in the air about
federal tax reduction these
days. Needless to say, every
body's for it.
Still, the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States
points out that major tax re-
auctions will depend on major
reductions in spending, and that
will take a lot of doing. And
the Chamber means doing by
everybody, not just the new ADJ
ministration.
In a word, communities ev-
eryWhere, the Chamber believes,
have got to break the habit of
running to the federal treasury
whenever they want some kind
of a new project. And it's en-
couraging to note that some
| communities never did get out
of that healthy American habit
of paying their own way, while
others are getting back in the
habit again.
Hence this little story about
Dayton, Ohio. Even folks who
live a thousand miles from
Dayton will find a lesson in it
Right now Dayton has a wat
er supply problem. There ism:
enough water all year round
to supply the growing Dayton
area. Rivers are becoming more
polluted and losing their beau
ty. Recreation areas have had
to be eliminated, and the I'M
foreground water level sinks
lower every year. Here is the
perfect opportunity for the fed
eral government to spend mil
lions. But Dayton isn't going to
ask for a cent.
Instead, the Chamber of
Commerce has set up a Water
Conservation committee which
has proposed that the seven
counties in the area act togeth-
er to build and maintain a SER
les of dams and storage reser-
voirS. -.
These would store water dur
ing heavy rains for release dur
ing dry spells. Thus streams
would he self-purifying and
there would be no need of ex-
penSive sewage treatment
plants. Further, the more con-
slant flow of water would per-
NIT natural underground stor-
age to build up.
As this is written, citizens are
collecting petitions for court
| approval of a tax levy for nee
essary engineering studies.
These studies will be used by
the courts to decide upon q
second tax levy to finance the
project. But only people bene-
| fitting will be taxed - those in
the seven counties which de-
pend upon the Great Miami
River and its tributaries for
water. Not the folks a thousand
miles away. In short, no feder-
al money.
! It's a big project, of course,
| and bound to be expensive. But
Dayton has had a habit of
shouldering its own burdens
since 1918 when the Great

Korean Vets
To Get Back
Combat Pay
BY RUSSELL BRINEs

WASHINGTON R-Military ex-
perts said today it will take them
a long time to determine how
many Americans have been under
fire in. Korea.
They will soon start paying $45
to tens of thousands of veterans
for every month in which they
spent six days within range of en-
envy guns.
But the job of sorting out and
deciding claims will involve a
mountain of paper work and a
long time lag, experts in both Con-
gress and the Pentagon say.
Congress approved this special
combat pay retroactive to the start
of the Korean campaign.
Pentagon officials estimate it
will cost between $50 and 300 mil
lion dollars.
The measure applies chiefly to
infantrymen of the Army and Ma
rines. Sen. Moody (D.-Mich.), the
sponsor, said the main purpose is
to give hazardous duty pay to men
in the foxholes, thus putting them
on equal footing in this respect
with fliers, submariners and para
troopers.
Those now serving in Korea will
get their July payments as part
of their August checks, Pentagon
officials said. In each case, the
commanding officer will have to

Over the years, beginning with

fore statehood, hanging of Of
tenders in the category of muir

method of melting out justice.
Idahoans of this day indicate
that they are proud of the heri-
