FLOOD COM
Copeland and Gibson Refuse
to Sign Report, Seeing
Threat to States. .
By the Associated Press.
A revised flood control-power pro
gram. requiring no local contributions,
was approved by a Senate-House con
ference committee last night despite
the assertion of two committee mem
bers that the bill “threatened every
vestige of State control and State’s
rights.”
The measure authorizes projects
estimated to cost $375,000,000, but
appropriates no money. Funds would
have to come from W. P. A. alloca
tions or from future congressional ap
propriations.
The committee eliminated a pro
vision requiring local communities to
contribute to reservoir and dam proj
ects, and retained a section giving
the Federal Government full title to
lands needed for such works.
Senators Copeland, Democrat, of
New York and Gibson, Republican, of
Vermont, refused to sign the confer
ence report and issued a joint state
ment describing the title amendment
as “dangerous." This had been ap
proved by the Senate on motion of
Majority Leader Barkley.
Informed legislators said -President
Roosevelt had assured Chairman Whit
tington of the House conferees he
would approve the legislation. Pre
viously, the President had favored re
tention of the principle of local con
tributions.
Senators Copeland and Gibson said
the title amendment “aims at the
destruction of the balance of power
between the States and the National
Government, a proposal which, in our
opinion, is contrary to the Federal
principle. As we see It, it is not a
good thing for America. All local
problems should be handled by the
States directly concerned in co-opera
tion with the Federal Government.”
The legislation also provides that
Relief
(Continued From First Page.)
report to the Senate next winter after
the murder has been completed. The
corpus delicti will be all that is left.
The Hatch or Austin amendments
would have acted as a real deterrent
and punishment for playing politics
with relief money and the relief or
ganization.”
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
who two weeks ago offered the first
resolution calling for appointment of
a special committee to investigate the
W. P. A.'s alleged political activi
ties, appeared before the Audit Com
mittee today to urge that some reso
lution be reported directing such an
inquiry. Senator King was one of
nine other Democratic Senators who
joined with Senator Tydings in spon
soring the Tydings resolution.
Others on Committee.
Besides Chairman Sheppard, the
Campaign Investigating Committee's
members are Senators O’Mahoney of
Wyoming, and Brown of Mi6higan,
Democrats; White, of Maine, Repub
lican, and Shipstead, of Minnesota,
Farmer-Labor.
In addition to reporting out this
substitute resolution, the Audit Com
mittee authorized expenditure of an
additional $12,500 by the Senate Lobby
Committee', of which Senator Minton,
Democrat, of Indiana, an ardent New
Dealer, is chairman.
Senator Byrnes said he would let
the Tydings substitute resolution go
on the Senate calender, presumably
to come up in regular order. If the
resolution is not reached in that way,
before adjournment, one of the Sena
tors who have demanded an inquiry
into W. P. A. political activities un
doubtedly will ask that it be taken up
and adopted. It is expected that a
majority of the Senate will favor the
resolution.
If it is adopted, Gov. A. B. Chandler
of Kentucky and his campaign mana
ger, who have charged the W. P. A.
is being used in that State to help
Senator Barkley win the Democratic
senatorial nomination, will be in a
position to demand an immediate in
vestigation of those charges by the
Senate committee.
Can Ask Inquiry.
Senator Barkley, on the other hand,
will be able to ask the committee to
investigate alleged use of State funds
and State employes to aid Gov. Chan
dler, who is his opponent in the sena
torial primary.
Agitation for a Senate investigation
of W. P. A. activities developed imme
diately after Harry L. Hopkins, head
of the relief organization, announced
his support of Representative Wearin
against Senator Gillette in the Demo
cratic senatorial primary in Iowa.
After the Senate had voted down the
Hatch amendment to the President’s
relief and recovery bill, Senator Tyd
ings offered his resolution for a special
committee of three to make such an
inquiry.
The Hatch amendment would have
prohibited by law any employe of the
W. P. A. from political activity. It
would, in fact, put the W. P. A. em
ployes on the same footing as civil
service employes of the Government,
who are prohibited from "pernicious
political activity.”
The substitute resolution approved
today provides:
"That the special committee (the
Campaign Investigating Committee) is
hereby directed to make a specific in
vestigation with respect to whether or
not any funds appropriated by Con
gress (whether for expenditure by any
department, independent agency or in
strumentality of the United States, or
by any State or political subdivision of
a State, or instrumentality of a State
or political subdivision thereof) have
been spent or are being spent in such
a manner' as to influence votes cast
or to be cast in any primary, conven
tion or election held in 1938 at which
a candidate for Senator is to be nomi
nated or elected.
Specific Investigation.
“Such specific investigation shall be
made in the same manner as other in
vestigations made pursuant to such
resolution are made, and in making
such specific investigations the com
mittee and any subcommittee thereof
shall have all powers conferred on
them by such resolution.
“The expenses of such special in
vestigation for which a sum of not to
exceed $10,000 is authorized to be ex
pended in addition to the sum author
ized to be expended under such reso
lution, shall be paid from the contin
gent funds of the Senate on vouchers
approved by the chairman of the com
mittee.”
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, who has fought many ad
ministration proposals, asserted In a

facilities adapted to hydroelectric de
velopment “shall be installed" wher
ever determined feasible by the Army
engineers and the Federal Power Com
mission.
Under the conference committee bill,
the Federal Government would em
bark on a national program of flood
control without expense to local gov
ernments except for purely local works,
such as flood walls and levees. For
these, local governments would be re
quired to furnish property rights.
The bill lists 150 local flood wall and
levee projects and 100 reservoirs and
dam projects eligible for construction.
Besides project expenditures, the
measure proposes appropriation of
$10,000,000 for surveys by the War De
partment and the Department of Agri
culture. The Power Commission would
receive $1,500,000 for hydroelectric
surveys.
radio address last night that there
has been “a growing tendency on the
part of relief agencies to engage in
politics.”
Sees No Justification.
“Political necessity cannot justify
politics in relief,” he said, “and po
litical advantage thus gained will not
be enduring."
(Senator Wheeler’s address was
delivered in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Evening
Star and broadcast over a Nation
wide network of the National
Broadcasting Co. The text of his
speech is on page B-12.)
Senator Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio,
told a radio audience creation of a
committee to hear any charges of
politics in the W. P. A. would be of
real public value.
“If any political use is being made
of relief money it can be promptly ex
posed,” he said. “If groundless and
irresponsible falsehoods are being cir
culated the lack of truth or substance
in them can be officially established.”
Senator Bulkley, who is up for re
nomination, said, “It may be taken
for granted that the President and
the high officers of his administra
tion would like to help elect to both
houses candidates who are in harmony
with his program.”
Test of Political Skill.
“Yet the dignity of the presidential
office is inconsistent with too much
political activity in the primary cam
paigns, and the infinite variety of
these primary contests will afford a
very severe test of the President’s
political skill. In many cases there
probably will be no indication of
definite preference.”
Discussing the W. P. A. Senator
Bulkley cited regulations that no
worker will lose his Job “because of
his vote in any election or for his
failure to contribute to campaign
funds.”
Expressing confidence in the fair
ness of top-ranking W. P. A. admin
istrators. he added that in an or
ganization as large as W. P. A. there
might be “a few minor officials out
at the end of the line who will misuse
their positions for political purposes.”
Flood
(Continued From First Page.)
Hankow, China's provisional capital,
300 miles south of Chengchow.
Mr. Baker emphasized, however, the
course of Yellow River floods never
could be predicted with certainty.
Waters of the Hwai River, farther
south, and in the Grand Canal, also
were said to be rising rapidly.
The river, besides cutting off the
Japanese advance and hindering its
communications, was sending a stream
of Chinese peasant refugees toward
the west, driven from their homes
by the rising waters.
"There is a theory,” Mr. Baker said,
“that the water, if there is enough
force behind it, may cut through Ho
nan Province south into the Hwai
River Basin, moving southward from
the old river bed into Anhwei Prov
ince.”
He called attention to the fact the
dike breaks were occurring farther
west than in 1935, the year of the last
great flood.
Should the flood follow the lines of
1935, military experts pointed out, the
Japanese occupation of the area would
be jeopardized.
Then 3,000 square miles of Southern
Shantung, Northern Honan and North
ern Itiangsu Provinces were devastated.
The flood struck directly into the
territory recently occupied by the Jap
anese army and left millions homeless.
It was estimated 13,000,000,000 cubic
yards of water flowed across the flat
land into Weishan Lake, near the
Shantung-Kiangsu border, from July
10 to September 9 that year, with the
rate of flow at about 2,000 cubic yards
a second.

BOMBINGS BILL
TO BEREDRAFTED
Senate Group Disagrees
Over Seconding Hull’s
Condemnation.
The Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee divided today on a proposal
by Chairman Pittman that the Sen
ate second Secretary Hull’s con
demnation of the bombing of civilian
populations.
As a result of the division of opin
ion Senator Pittman said he would re
draft the resolution to eliminate ref
erence to Secretary Hull’s statements
and re-introduce it in the Senate to
day. He said he would attempt to call
it up for Senate action tomorrow.
The revised resolution would put
the Senate on record in ‘‘unqualified
condemnation of the inhuman bomb
ing of civilian populations" and direct
the committee to report to the 1939
Congress on steps that this Govern
ment might take to halt such bomb
ing.
The original resolution was Intro
duced after representatives of 124
peace organizations, churches and edu
cational committees visited State De
partment officials and congressional
leaders yesterday urging governmental
action to withhold supply of American
munitions, war materials and finan
cial aid to Japan.
The group seeking Japanese embargo
was received at the State Department
by Stanley K. Hornbeck, political ad
viser to Secretary Hull. Led by Olin
D. Wannamaker. executive secretary
of Lingnan University, Canton, which
has been bombed repeatedly by Japa
nese planes during the past few weeks,
the delegation presented a petition
outlining in detail materials of war and
other supplies they contended should
be withheld from Japan.
Among local church and organiza
tion leaders participating in the group
action were Dr. Frederick Brown Har
ris, pastor of the Foundry Methodist
S(lurch; the Rev. H. W. Burgan, pastor
Hamline Methodist Church: Wilbur
i La Roe. jr„ chairman of the Civic Af
