QUICK PASSAGE
OF FLOOD BILL
hits obstacle
WASHINGTON. Nov. 21 P)
Plans for Quick passase of a bil
lion dollar flood control bill ran
today into an argument over the
St. . Lawrence seaway recom
mended by President Koosevelt.
Instead of acting on the bill in
a matter of Hours preliminary to
taking up a $500,1)00,000 rivers
and Harbors authorization, the
senate faced the prospect of a
controversy tnat migni run into
next week.
The plans were snagged when
Senator Aiken IR-Vt.), insisted
on presenting his amendment au-
tnormng tne seawa. even as
the senate moved toward debate,
Aiken kept his colleagues in
doubt as to whether he would
offer his amendment for the flood
bill or the rivers and harbors
measure.
Should Aiken hold his amend
ment for the latter bill, the St.
Lawrence controversy would be
removed from the flood control
measure, but there would still
remain arguments over slates'
rights, hydroelectric power de
velopment, and irrigation, as well
as several big projects.
The house-approved bills call
for postwar construction of
flood control, hydroelectric facil
ities, harbor works .and related
projects throughout "the country
a program backed in principle
by President Roosevelt to create
a shelf of public works and jobs.
Only recently the president re
newed his long-standing request
for approval of the seaway, es
timated to cost from $200,000,000
to $400,000,000.
Senator Aiken wrote his
amendment several weeks ago.
refusing to go along with Chair
man Overton who called a senate
commerce sub-committee meet
ing today to determine whether
a treaty with Canada would be
involved.
The bills are beset by several
side issues. One group has
brought up the issue of states'
rights being affected by the fed
eral government's broad jurisdic
tion over inland waterways.
Members from the Missouri
valley are demanding changes to
give reclamation preference over
navigation and other water uses
in the arid west. Present law
leaves the decision to the army
engineers.
Another controversy revolves
around an amendment to ex
empt California's Great Central
valley from a 42-year-old recla
mation law limiting to 160 acres
the land of any owner which
can De irrigated from federally
financed Trojects.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21 (P)
The supreme court decided Mon
day that under the Oklahoma
property tax law a man and his
wife in computing federal in
come taxes may not divide
equally their total earnings.
Justice Roberts delivered the
court's 7-2 decision. Justice
Douglas wrote a dissenting
opinion in which Justice Black
concurred.
Roberts said that prior to
1939, Oklahoma had no policy
"with respect to the artificial
being known as a community."
He added: "Nor can we say
that, since that year, the state
has any new policy, for it has
not adopted, as an incident of
marriage, any legal community
property system. The most that
can be said is that the present
policy of Oklahoma is to per
mit spouses, by contract, to al
ter the status which they would
otherwise- have under the pre
vailing property system in that
state ...
"We think it immaterial, for
present purposes, that the com
munity status may or may not
be altered by contract between
the parties, or may not be
avoided by antenuptial agree
ments, or that certain assets of
a spouse mav or mav nnt ho
classed as separate property
excluded from the community.
The important fact is that the
community system of Oklahoma
not a system, dictated hv
state policy, as an incident of
matrimony."
in the dissent. Douelas sniri
that today's court decision dis
criminated against Oklahoma.
ine only apoarent basis for
such discrimination is that the
community property system in
the eight states are traditional;
that those eight states have a
well settled policv: that- Okla.
noma merely gives its citizens
a choice to get under or stay
out of its community property
system.
"T h e distinctive feature of
the community property system
is that the products of the in
dustry of either spouse are at
tributed to both; the husband is
never the sole 'owner' of his
earnings: his wife acquires a
half interest in them from their
very inception. If Oklahoma
meets that test, then she should
be treated on a parity with her
sister states. The fact that her
system is new-born does not
make it any the less genuine."
