Bill For Huge Sum Passed On Waterways Senate Votes Its Approval In Sum Of $1,840,000,000 WASHINGTON, 18--jp)-- The Senate Monday night passed a $1,840,000,000 waterways authorization bill after beating all attempts by Senator Douglas (D-I11) to reduce the total. The vote on passage was 59 to 19. Action by the Senate, after more than a week of debate, sends the bill to a conference with the House, which passed the bill last summer when it called for only $1,332,743,825 worth of projects. The authorization bill appropriates no money. It paves the way lor future appropriations for construction work on scores of new flood control and river and harbors projects and for additional work on major comprehensive programs now under way.

Douglas waged a virtual single- handed legislative batle to cut the bill. He offered nearly 20 amendments designed to eliminate more than $800,000,000 in authorizations. The Senate rejected every amendement he offered. As approved by the Senate, the bill would authorize flood control projects costing $1,364,500,200 and rivers and harbors work to cost $228,373,125. Some For Reclamation An additional $200,000,0000 monetary authorization is provided for reclamation projects in the Missouri river basin.

Other items include $19,000,000 for agriculture department watershed improvement projects, $15,000,000 for emergency use and $20,000,000 for surveys, $1,500,000 lor power surveys by the federal power commission and for agriculture department use in the watershed of the Santa Ynez river in California. The Senate public works committee added approximately $476,000,000 to the House bill and its additions were accepted by the Senate. House bill included some $998,116,200 for flood control projects and $119,469,975 lor rivers and harbors. The Senate, which previously had rejected IS moves by Douglas to eliminate projects costing a total of nearly turned him down flatly today in attempts to toss out huge authorizations for some of-the major rivers. amendments would have eliminated $200,000,000 for the lower Mississippi, $250,000,000 for the Missouri river basin, $100,000,000 for the Ohio river, and $89,000,000 lor the Arkansas.

(NEA) A Tokyo professor, now studying a Ohio State University here begin ning to be afraid that there more to this freedom business than meets the eye.

It can be down right immoral. Japanese boys and girls, Senjir Hosokawa thinks, are copying behavior patterns from the American "'s on occupation duty. And, hi adds politely, there are a few the boys who are not what calls perfect examples of propriety. Some of them don't even ask a girl's parents first, when they want a date. "You people," says the 35-year- old professor at Tokyo Teachers College, "should be more discreet in your introduction of your way of life.

In your eagerness to democratize our country, freedom has been misinterpreted." The serious-faced Hosokawa fears that pretty soon Japanese marriages will be arranged by the parties involved and the nation's moral structure may suffer other similar signs of breaking down. "I sometimes feel very sorry for American girls who have to search out their ideal husbands for themselves without the advice of their parents," is the way he expresses it. "My own marriage was arranged by my teacher." (The Ho- sokawas have two children, but Hosokawa had no statistics aboul his teacher's offspring.) "Parents and teachers are more objective in making a marriage." Among other signs of a moral collapse cited by Hosokawa are co-educational schools and boys and girls mingling in dance halls and at the movies. All in all, it's a very serious thing to a very serious young Japanese. Perhaps the worst thing the Americans brought to Japan--excluding the atom bomb, or course --was the kiss.

It seems that each GI brought his private osculatory Marshall Plan with him to Japan. Before the war, kissing was a shocking thing hi Japan. Now, a different kind of shock in a Nipponese kiss.
