WASHINGTON. May iO-Upy-Representative
Alonrari C Wal
eren. (I-Vah) . said tonight
that the confidential commit
tee draft of the proposed flood
control bill contained a recom
mendation for a Willamette
valley project appropriation. He
said he was uncertain of Uie
exact amount.
WASHINGTON-. May
Representative S e c r e s t iD-O)
said today the house flood con
trol committee would recommend
a $400,000,000 flood control pro
gram in line with the wishes of
President Roosevelt.
Sum Set Represent
Compromise with President
Secrest, a committee member,
added that this amount represent
ed a compromise between a $300.
000,000 j authorization favored
originally by the president and
a $460,000,000 proposal in con
gress. I. I "
The. committee was laid to
have agreed that the federal
government should pay for th
actual construction of flood con
trol reservoirs and should stand.
70 per cent of the cost of acquir
ing land and relocating highways,
railroads and utlir'.es. .
The latter provision would be
a marked change from existing
law, which requires local contri
butions amounting to 100 per
cent of the cost of land purchases
and relocations.
Agree Not to Ask r
Katire - Cost "
- There was much sentiment la
the committee for having the fed
eral government a?sume the en
tire cost of national floor control
programs, but Representative Mc
Clellan - (D-Ark) said . the com
mittee finally decided to retain
the principle of local contribu
tions on-request of the war de
partment and President Roose
velt. - -
The inclusion of any appropria
tion sufficient to insure aa
adequate start on the Willamette
valley project in the flood con
trol bill is regarded as an im
portant victory here In view f
the report Tecelved several days
ago from. Congressman James
Mott. i
Approved Projects
Exceed Sum Likely
"Asyou probably know " Mott
wrote rece;ntly to the Salem
chamber of commerce, "there has
been an understanding between
the chairman of the house flood
control committee and the presi
dent that no more than S300,
000.000 worth of flood control
projects shall be ,ncluded in the
1938. bill. The cost of the ap
proved projects now before the
flood control committee amounts
to more than $900, 000. 00.
' It,! Is obvious, therefore, that
two-thirds of the approved proj

. . . i You may be assured that
we will leave nothing "undone ia
