FEDERAL SUPERVISION OF WATERWAYS URGED Declaration of Principles Adopted at Cloins Session of Rivers and Harbors Congress. Washington, Federal supervision of water transportation, enlarged jurisdiction of the interstate commerce Commission over water and rail rates and the improvement of all navigable streams upon which commerce could be established were recommended to congress today in a prfnciples adopted by the National Rivers and Harbors congress at the closing sessions of its annual meeting. The convention declared It was the imperative duty of congress to systematize and improve the waterways in such a manner as to serve the pub lic interest and that this duty could not be escaped. "Appropriations of the public revenues can only be justified upon evidence affording a reasonable assurance that channels so improved will be used for water transportation," the declaration said.

Co-ordination of rail and water facilities and abolition of destructive competitive warfare between the two were favored, among other things, and the congress expressed its ''unity and sympathy with transportation by rail, highway and air." The congress recommended that federal supervision be under a separate. department of transportation or a bureau of the department of commerce and that the extension of the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission embrace adjustment of water and rail rates to enable boat lines to run at a fair profit on the same basis as competitive rail lines. After the adoption of the 'declaration Senator Ransdell of Louisiana was reelected president of the congress. KITCHIN IS IN CHARGE. Chairman of House1 Committee on Roosevelt Memorial Service.
