To use a popular, slang ex pression, the supposed con tributor of today's column is all wet Roundabouters al lergic to puns are fully justi fied in shivering over the idea and we grant them the li Qense without an argument ut the thought haunted us while we tried to figure out lust who the actual writer really is. Frankly, we've seen the type writer style, the typing idiocyn cracies and the other mechanic details before, but we just can't place them except to report that the nearly anonymous signature, "The Susquehanna River" doesn't mean too much. But, since everybody's been talking about the river, the ice, the potential rains, and the pos sible floods, there's no particular reason why the grand and glorious, but sometimes obstreperous, Susquehanna shouldn't have the opportunity to say a few words for herself, even by proxy. So, to start the week, here is someone bit of imagination, whimsy, fantasy or call it what you will. 7n today's Telegraph, under riter condition," says this unidentified voice of the Sus quehanna, "was this item: 'Last night's (Tuesday, February 20) snowfall had no effect upon the Susquehanna Riter, and the snows promised today are expected to pass unnoticed as far as the river is the Susquehanna Riter, resent that statement, which is absolutely untrue.

Last night's snow had an enormous effect upon me, and any snow wilt not pass unnoticed. "Just because I am now hidden beneath mountains of filthy snow doesn't mean that I am quiescent or genial about what is happening "You, being mortal, are up and about, moving, active, happy. Do you ever give a thought to me, one of the most beautiful rivers in the world, now helpless under this intolerable burden of filthy, malicious snow which has fallen upon me like an enormous, dumb elephant, crushing down a hand some, graceful tiger? "The Juniata is no help to me. Her delight has always been to run into me. I ignore that.

But I dislike her muddy stream flowing into the lovely azure or clear emerald of my waters. She is only a little riter. I doubt if she feels deeply, otherwise she wouldn't be so muddy. "Because I am a big river there is no reason why I must remain placid with this hideous weight upon me. I know I' should think of summer, and the soft green islands, and the little boats drifting along, and the children swimming joyously.

But after all I am only inhuman. During these long horrible months I hare tried to contain myself. No one should blame me if, finally, my control weakens and I rise in my fury. When one is put upon insolently, continuously, as I have been, by this snow, which snickers as it falls and says, 'Well, what can you do about I want to show that I can do something about it. "I want to rise furiously so that talked of eighteen foot wall on South Front street, which has caused so much commotion, would be a bit of driftwood in less than a minute, if it existed.

To date, I have been fairer than the snow, Only once did my nerves give way and I suddenly swept ahead and jammed the show against the lower bridge. But that did little good because it snowed again. "And then to see in the news paper 'snows promised today will pass unnoticed as far as the river is What man can know what a river will do or how far it can be put upon without retaliation? Already my ire has stirred me to a 6.7 stage. Let both the man who wrote those words, and the snow watch out before they go too far. Well may it be that he will have to swallow his words." And, of course, to an outright challenge like that, there's only one reply: Riter, stay away from my door.

Elizabeth Wallenda is coming back. She'll do her perilous act in the shadowy heights, trusting again to the perfect control of her divorced husband, Herman, to prevent the Wallenda troupe from hurtling earthward. Herman's emotions threatened to overcome him last spring while the Rmgling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey Circus was playing in Madi son Square Garden in New York. He and his pretty young wife had parted. Yet as a main support for the spectacular high wire act Herman had to pedal a bicycle along the strand of steel 65 feet above the ring and act as a foundation for the three high human pyramid topped by Elizabeth.

Finally, the nearness of Elizabeth so badly upset Herman that he no longer felt sure of maintaining the perfect balance upon which shall General is to the effect that their "physical condition is fair."

Engineers Modify Height of Levee For Flood Control The much discussed levee pro posed for flood control protection in this area has been reduced two feet in plans, City Engineer Robert M. Andrews revealed today following a report from Col.

Oscar J. Pool, of the Army Engineer Corps. The two foot reduction will re sult in a flood wall approximately two feet above the level reached by the 1936 flood here. The levee or dike, according to plans, origin' ally averaged 8.1 feet along the Central, Iron and Steel Company and come to various heights along South Harrisburg, accord ing to the flood level in 1936. The change was made follow ing a conference in Baltimore with army engineers and city engineers, Andrews and Clyde E.

Peters, when the city officials discussed the possibility of lowering the heighth of the wall. The report from Col. Pool informed officials that the change has not been finally approved by the Engineer Department but that the modification appears reason able and will be recommended by the Baltimore office. The reduction will provide prot tection here comparable to that1 given by flood control works com pleted by the government in the Wyoming Valley and at Williams port, Col. Pool stated.

It was pointed out by Andrews that flood control 1 construction completed in the northern area of the Susquehanna river has re duced flood danger here to the amount that a wall two feet higher than the 1936 flood level will be more than adequate for protection. The modification is an example of the co operation between the city and federal authorities who have made two prior changes in plans following recommendation of officials here. The proposed pumping station at Paxton Creek was moved at the request of the city and last December Army Engineers agreed to move the proposed dike from 22 feet to 40 feet away from the grave of John Harris in River Front Park. Copies of Pool's report were sent to all Councilmen and Paul J. Smith, City Solicitor.

City Officials made no comment concerning the change. Treasury Receipts Washington, Feb. 26, (ff) The position of the Treasury February 23: Receipts, $131,518,904.02. Expenditures, $279,994,615.51. Net balance, $17,764,562,380.36.

Herman is married again to a non per former. "We are worried," Karl Wal lenda explains.

BEISTLINE, JR. America Expected To Lead Nations, 0'Conor Declares "All the world is looking to America to play the role of leader in this era not only because of our military power but because of moral prestige acquired over a long period of years," Governor Herbert R. O'Conor, of Maryland, told a Catholic Forum audience in the Forum of the State Education Building last evening. The well filled Forum heard the Maryland Governor declare that "we must be at the head of a movement leading to the realization of world peace for the minute victory is ours, America will be in her greatest danger that of sliding back into complacency and making possible, another World War." Governor O'Conor said that able leadership is one of the greatest needs of the country after the war, adding that there must be a leader ship which will encourage and de velop the desire of Americans to become better citizens of the world. He charged there is a cur rent decline in government brought about by the apparent readiness of government officials to conceal vital facts from the public instead of keeping the people informed.

The governor said that "the cream of the next world generation is suffering untold hardships in an effort to preserve democracy and everything it stands for." He commented that the men will be coming back with a determina tion to keep what they have won and that "it is up to us to lay the foundation." Governor Edward Martin members of his cabinet were among the honor guests who heard Governor Conor lecture. Hershey Officer Back From Pacific LT. ASHLEY W. HANCOCK Asheville, N. Feb.

We were unloading a cargo ship and the Jap navy shelled and capsized it. Two of our men were killed, 22 wounded. All I did was crawl along the hull and get some of the men off. Lieutenant Hancock, who be fore the war was employed in the advertising department of the Peoples Drug, in Washington, is one of seven brothers, five of whom attended the Hershey Industrial School, in Hershey. One brother.

Brent, is a master sergeant in the Marines, another, Warren, a machinist's mate, third class, in the Navy. Others are in war work, and the youngest, Ross, is waiting to be old enough to join the Army. A sister, Eliza beth, is "with their father, John S. Hancock, 417 Weaver street. Clearfield, Pa.

Beistline, who said his duties kept hint constantly on the move and he's now home in fine health and uninjured, "because every time flak penetrated his tiny compartment it hit where I just was, but left a second before to check something in another spot." Veteran of 35 raids over Germany he's home now at 217 Enola drive, South Enola, getting acquainted with his eight months old son, Harry, III, born while he was overseas. His wife is the former Miss Rose Gianforti of the Enola address.

Sergeant Beistline said he first found the advantages of nimble ness when a two inch piece of flak plunged through his compartment and just missed his arm. "I heard the shell explode off the ship and turned in my seat to re check an instrument when I saw the steal go flying by. It made quite a hole in the side of the ship where it went out. I decided then and there in the future I would sit i still as little as possible and it worked wonders." In a subsequent raid over Germany, his ship ran into a terrific anti aircraft barrage and flak rained all over the ship. "Once again," he smiled, "I was moving around and what did go through my cubby hole didn't hit me." The wing on his ship, however, was almost severed by flak.

"It flapped like a bird's wing all the way back to the base. How Plane Was Named "While I may have been able to dodge those chunks of steel, our ship naturally couldn't. It received its name when we came back from a mission and the tail on the craft had really taken a beating. The mechanics who patched her up had to put so much tape on the tail they called her "The Tapeworm." His experience as a first aid man saved a fellow member of the crew when a waist gunner's oxygen mask slipped off while they were flying 'at 30,000 feet. According to the sergeant as the pilot made the regular oxygen check on the inter phone, they heard no answer from the gunner.

Saves Fellow Gunner Sergeant Beistline rushed back and found him suffering from what the flyers call "anoxia. Beistline administered artificial respiration and soon the gunner regained consciousness and was back at his post, this time with his mask clamped on firmly, The Enola flyer is awaiting of ficial notification of the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross for the German missions and now holds the Air Medal with five Oak Leaf Clusters.

does not intend to assume any liability for redemption of so called "invasion currency" used byj American armies in liberated European countries. However, Treasury Secretary Morgenthau has informed Congress, claims of foreign govern ments for the amount of their currency printed in this country and used by our forces may be pre sented after the war. "Naturally, some people over there would like to make the cur 1 rency an obligation of the United States Treasury, which it is not," Morgenthau told the House Appropriations Committee during a closed door discussion of the sub ject. Possibly, Morgenthau said, th Italian government may put in a claim for reimbursement after the! war "and we, on our side, will have a charge for the cost of the invasion, and so forth." The "invasion money" involved is the "type printed in this country to purchase supplies for American troops as they move into foreign countries that had been controlled by the Axis. Daniel W.

Bell, Undersecretary of the Treasury, disclosed to the committee that the Italian govern ment accepted responsibility fof redemption of Italian invasion currency under terms of the armistice agreement. The same obligation has been accepted voluntarily by other governments, he added.
