Washington, May 31. — The
proposed Yadkln-Pee Dee flood
control program is apparently
stymied for another year. It was
learned here this afternoon.
The rivers and harbors board
of the army engineers met yes
terday In Chicago and, according
to the Washington office of the
board, “took no action on the
report on the Yadkin project,
but will wait until It can hear
certain protests which have been
filed with the board."
No date was set to hear the
Protestants the board said.
According to Senators Josiah
W. Bailey and Clyde R. Hoey,
Mark W. Bennett, of Charlotte,
and "others connected with, var-
ions rural electric co-operatives
in North Carolina" have raised
objections to the flood control
program without hydroelectric
Installations.
The action of these protestants,
Hoey said, will make it tmpos-
slble' to pass the necessary ap-
prowiatlon during this session of
Congress.
Both BaOey and Hoey favor a
strictly flood control program In
lien of the hydroelectrio-flood
control combination, recommend
ed earlier by army engineers, who
proposed a program that would
include constrnctlon of five flood
oontrol and hydroelectric reser
voirs.
The original plan had been ap
proved by the senate commerce
committee, of which Bailey Is
chairman, and reached the sen
ate floor last fall, when the
senior Tar Heel senator request
ed Its withdrawal irom the then
pending flood oontnl hill.
