Congress Has Key
To W. V. Project
i Unless tha rivers, harbors nd
flood control bills now befort eon-

" ad In the way of the Willamette
Valley project, CM. Ralph Tudor,
r in charge of the Portland district
I, of U. S. army engineer! told
, Rotarians at their weekly lunch
1 eon Tuesday.
' Tudor, luncheon guest speaker,
(explained that It takes time for
"engineers to work out plans and
(specifications for contractors and
that procrastination in passing
these two bills is liable to find
the Portland district engineers'
office without immediate plans
'J for the project at the war's end.
t Tudor estimated that $20 mil

' U. S. army engineers, Tudor re

man commented. The area and
the people are considered and
congress alone has the final say
in authorizing a project and fi

Col. Tudor, while emphasizing
the importance of post-war. engi

tempts had been made to employ
war prisoners in Oregon canner

protested to the war manpower

competition with free labor.
Marr said that the Portland of
fice of the WMC had no knowl
edge of war prisoners being used
In the Klamath Falls area.
