first phase of the Anacostia
River Flood Control Project was
announced today by Col. Ray
Adams, District Engineer for the
Washington District, Army Corps

phase of the $13 million project.
The remaining work includes
channel improvements, levees
and drainage facilities along the
Northwest Branch in Brentwood

River at Bladensburg and Col
mar Manor.

pendent on future appropria-
lions by Congress.

pected to curb the overflowing
OF the Anacostia, which floods
the Peace Cross intersection aft
er every heavy rain.

Ameriican-Du Mont
Merger Discussed
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Discus-
sions are under way on a deal
IN which American Broadcasting
Co. would take over the Du Mont
television network.
Such a transaction would re-
duce to three the number of TV
networks-ABC, CHS and NBC.
One source close to the talks
said they were in an exploratory
stage.
The basis of the talks is this:
The programs of the Du Mont
network. owned by Allen B.

sion OF American Broadcasting-

parent Du Mont company, a

would retain the three TV sta
lions it owns, .WABD in New

circulated reports of the talks.
The Du Mont TV network it
self has been Improbable al
though the three Du Mont
stations have been money-mak-
ers, as has been the parent COM
pany's manufacturing opera
lions. The ABC TV network, on
the other hand, still has gaps on
its schedule that could be filled
to advantage with the Du Mont
shows.
There long has been specula-
ton as to whether there was
room for four TV networks to
operate prof1tably since in many
communities there are not
enough stations to carry four
programs simultaneously. One
OF the Du Mont networks big
gest problems was getting station
clearances for its programs in

Orndorff Has Cold
Night Hunting Elk

Lamar "Bud" Orndorff, SO, was
enjoying a good hot bath Sunday
morning. Meanwhile Mrs. Orn-
dorff was warming a blanket next
to the stove in the parlor for
him. This would be warmer than
sheets. Interested onlookers were
their five youngsters.
Bud spent the first night of
1854 out in the snow and brush
on Kelly hill. He was hunting elk
about six miles north of Columbia
Falls. His car was parked on the
North Fork road. Friday night he
didn't return. Mrs. Orndorff con-
tacted Pastor Ralph E. Werner,
neighbor, about 8 p. m. The
minister phoned Byron West, CO.
lumbia Falls police chief, who in
turn organized a search party of
about 80 volunteers, many of them
fellow employees of Orndorff's at
Plum Creek mill. There were also
two men from the sheriff's office.
About $50 a. m. Orndorff came
on his rescuers on the road. His
matches were wet so he couldn't
build a fire. He was chilled, and
walking had been difficult in the
dark with snow knee deep at
times. Apparently Orndorff rea-
lized that he was out in the woods,
caught by dark, and made the best
of the situation until daylight,
conserving his energy.
The hot bath at $50 a. m. plus
a bowl of chill, three hot cups of
coffee, and the warm blanket did
the trick.
This was the second recent lost
hunter incident. Benny Benner,
20, Columbia Falls, was lost Dec.
7 for a night in the same general
area. Benner, however, had be-
come so cold and exhausted chas-
ing elk that he was unable to
walk and was practically uncon-
SciouS when found.
Many of the same Columbia
Falls volunteers participated in
both searches. 1t takes mountain
men.
