JOPLIN GLOBE, TUESDAY, JULY 8,1947 NEW DRIVE FOR BASIN AUTHORITIES IS SEEN Accent Berfve Talk of Valley and Colon- bio Blver Agencies. PARKING EFFECT Washington, July 7-- The republican economy program and the Missouri river floods may generate a new drive in congress for basin authorities. Senator Taylor, democrat, Idaho, says congressional action on the reclamation bureau and army engineers' appropriations for 1948 has strengthened his conviction that the ultimate solution of river problems will be the creation of these authorities to co-ordinate reclamation and flood control work. Senator Murray, democrat, Montana, has announced that ae will campaign during the legislative recess for a Missouri Vahey Authority. He has introduced a to establish it.

A bill also has been laid beforo congress to authorize a Savannah river authority. Taylor based his latest argument a Columbia river authority on appropriations for control of the Snake river, a tributary of the Columbia. Called Patchwork Plan. He observed that the army engineers were allowed $300,000 for strengthening levees on the upper reaches of the Cnake, while an irrigation project to be built in the same area was allowed only $900,000 of the $2,500,000 recommended by the budget bureau. "The money has thus been appropriated patchwork," Taylor told a reporter, "while the money for the project that would solve the problem for all time has been trimmed to the point where construction cannot be started." He said the same "futile policy" has been followed in the Missouri basin and declared: "It is another case of the army engineers and the bureau of reclamation working to cross purposes." A couple of years ago, when both the reclamation bureau and the engineers submitted over-all plans to congress for the Missouri basSn, Senators O'Mahoney, democrat, Wyoming, and Millikin, republican, Colorado, worked out an amendment to the reclamation law under any water control project must have approval of both agencies, the governors of all af- iected states and any other interested department or agency.

Millikin, who declined to discuss basin authorities, told a reporter that the plan not only is workable but also is providing complete coordination of the construction plans of the two agencies dealing -with river problems. Both Murray and Taylor say they believe, however, that the authority plan would be more effective. Murray recently said in an interview that the present flood situation in the Missouri valley "demonstrates the futility of the present system of trying to handle the problem." And Taylor added; "A valley authority, by Integrating both flood control and reclamation work, would be the real solution." INDIAN HELD TO TRIAL FOR RAPING QVAPAW GIRL Miami, July 7.
