TO FLOODCONTROL
Driver Tells Rivers Congress
Only Emergencies May
Get Funds.
The newly elected president of the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress,
Representative William J. Driver of
Arkansas, today pledged his efforts to
work for the aims laid down by the
organization, but indicated that the
projects most likely to receive atten
tion from Congress probably would be
emergency work on the Merrimac
River in New England and the Ohio
River Valley, on the basis of relief.
Advocates of greater flood con
trol measures had hoped to increase
direct flood con
t r o 1 appropria
tions from the
pending $52,500,
000 to $100,000,
000, with 60 per
cent to be ex
pen d e d in the
omnibus flood re
lief bill and 40
per cent in the
Mississippi Basin,
the president
elect explained.
He was chosen at
yesterday's ses-!
Rep. Driver.
sion at the May- i
flower Hotel.
"The only obstacle in the way of
achievement of this.” Driver said, “is
the recently expressed attitude of the
President in the matter of economy.
This is making a tremendous appeal
to business interests of the Nation,
and appears likely to interfere seriously j
with the hopes and purposes of friends
of waterway development and flood
protection.
"It now appears the administration
will confine legislation within such
limits that few additional authoriza
tions will be made by Congress for
necessary and usual expenditures and
the adopted projects and river proj
ects will evidently comprise the range
of appropriation, with a narrow limit.
Reasonable Protection.
He indicated it would be necessary
to make a "fight to get from relief
appropriations money to provide works
necessary to reduce flood crests suffi
ciently to afford a reasonable amount
of protection against the threat of in
creasing destruction.”
Driver, as chairman of the Projects
Committee, reported to the hotel
gathering yesterday that after ex
amining 165 new projects the com
mittee w’as convinced that "15 projects
are sound, needful and sufficiently
advanced in status to warrant in
dorsement. involving a total estimated
cost of $31,657,995.” He also reported
that 22 projects appear to be with
out a sufficiently advanced status to
warrant present indorsement, but are
believed to be by the committee
‘meritorious’ and entitled to further
consideration. The committee recom
mended that surveys be expedited on
32 projects and that surveys be rec- i
ommended for 52. It was recom-]
mended that 10 projects be deferred.
Two projects in the District—the '
Washington Harbor and Washington |
Channel, north side—again were in- i
dorsed.
Driver"* report was adopted unan
imously.
The group went on record as strong
ly In favor of “ample funds’’ to con
struct flood-control projects already
authorised by Congress.
"There should be no stint where
human life and human misery are in
volved,” the resolution stated.
Long Range Policy.
A long-range policy to preserve the
public domain was recommended,
through conservation of soil and wa
ter resources, reforestation and soil
conservation. Underlying principles of
the stream pollution bill were ap
proved. The report of the Resolutions
Committee was made by Senator
Overton of Louisiana, chairman.
The Interstate Committee on flood
control recommended approximate j
uniform State flood-control legisla
tion, liberalization by Congress of re- '
quirements in local and State partici
pation, approach to flood control by
river systems, Federal encouragement
and State statutes to prevent future !
encroachments on channels of con- j
trolled streams and maintenance of .
two primary principles enunciated by ;
the flood-control act of 1936—contin
uation of the United States Army en- |
gineers as the responsible agent of
Congress for flood control free from
politics or pressure and maintenance
of the principle of State and local
participation.
Other officers elected by the congress
for the year, in addition to President
Driver, were Frank R. Reid of Illinois,
former president, to be chairman of
the board; James H. Sinclair, North
Dakota, vice chairman; Fred D.
Beneke, Memphis, Term., secretary;
Seymour Weiss, New Orleans, treas
urer, and William H. Webb of this
city, executive vice president in
charge of the Washington office.
Directors elected included Driver,
H. H. Buckman, Jacksonville, Fla.;
Representative Nichols, Oklahoma;
Herbert C. Legg, Los Angeles; Sinclair
and Tom R. Hutton, Binghampton,
N. T.
What Price Speed?
Many who drive constantly on city
itreets think that by driving their
care a few miles per hour faster than
other*, they are saving a lot of time.
A* a matter of fact the time saved is
often only a matter of seconds, while
the injury and accident is increased
a hundredfold.

Conquer Acid
Stomach Troubles
Way Doctors Do
No wonder KALIN Antacid Powder 1(
so popular. It is a treatment with a
two-way function, such as a special
ist might prescribe. First. It forms a
coating on the inside stomach wall
and stops the harmful acids from ag
gravating the irritated tissues. Then
it neutralizes the excess acids and
thus aids in restoring normal diges
tion. If you suffer from sour stom
ach. heart-burn, belching, gas cramps,
acid indigestion or other disorders
caused by hyperacidity, over-indul
gence or faulty diet—get a package
of KALIN from your druggist today.
The first dose should give relief. Gen
erous size package only Toe. Your
money back—if you don't agree it
does more for your sick stomach than
anything you ever used. Ask for gen
uine KALIN.
