at midnight tomorrow. There Is
no chance of revlTlng them—in

The unprecedented situation
developed when the senate re
cessed for the week-end after
this swift sequence of events
1— ^President Truman vetoed
the amendment-riddled OPA ex
tension bill On grounds it would
legalize Inflation and bring eco
nomic disaster to the nation.
2— The house sustained his
veto.
3— Single objections In both
the house and the senate blocked
efforts to act Immediately on a
simple extension resolution that
would have extended OPA as Is
until July 20. This forced ad
ministration leaders to send the
resoluUon to comin|t|te and.,d*-

And, said Taft, If OPA lapses

The general opinion as ex

▼OMtod For
WakhlngtOB. — ’The Tadkln
RtvsF flood control project yen-
terdny bemme part of th« S900,-
000,000 flood control bUl, which
was approved by the Senata
Commerce .Committee.
The measure la expected to be
considered by the Senate next
week along with the bUllon-dol-
lar 'navigation bill. Both of them
hove paased the Honae.
The plan tor control of the Up
per Tadkln by means of four
dams would cost 17,194,000, di
vided as follows In estimates by
army englneera; |2,180,500 for
Wilkesboro; $2,086,600 for Up
per Wilkesboro; $1,006,700 for
one dam and $811,900 for anoth
er near the month of the Reddles
River.
’The engineers have said the
four dams “form part of a com
prehensive plan for improvement
of the river.”
Senate Tote Probable Before
Snmnier Receas
Washington.—^Water projects
to coat two billion dollars prob
ably will be voted by the Senate
before the Summer recess of
Congress.
The Commerce Committee ap
proved yesterday flood control
legislation proposing expenditure
of more than $950,000,000. Navi
gation works to cost a billion
were approved previously. Both
bills have passed the House.
Acting Chairman Overton (D-
La) hopes to get Senate action
.UnAja qi
il! „ . ..
lant director w ’ BximaMen
Service In North’ Carolina, told
the North Wllk'eeboro Klwanls
Club In an address here Friday
that the present situation with
Increased production of poultry
Eoad livestock and diminishing
feed supply cannot continue in
definitely.
The program Friday was in
charge of Connty Agent R. D^
Smith, who presented Dr. Good
man. ‘‘We are now using more
of everything than we did in
1940, and the government is
shipping much to countries for
relief. In Wilkes county we are
using five times as much ponl
try feed as In 1940, and feed pro
duction is no higher,” the speak
er said.
As a solution he pointed out
that prodaction of grains can be
Increased and that better pas
tures can be developed for longer
grazing to save consumption of
grain feeds by livestock. The ad
dress was well rec^ved by the
club.
Gueets Friday were as follows:
Inneas Carlson with Cecil Adam
son, R. H. Boroughs, Sr., with C
F. Gardner; Tom Eshelman with
P. W. Bshelman; Klwanian Zeb

money. They authorize -constrnc-
tion to be financed under subse
quent legislation.
Involve Several Feedings
The projects Involve flood con
trol, navigation, hydroelectric
power. Irrigation and related
works throughout the country.
They were designed by the army
engineers to assure orderly de
velopment of water resources.
The Senate committee made
changes that will require House
concurrence before the flood trill
goes to the White House.
Several projects were added,
among them Yadkin River, N. C.,
$7,194,000.
The estimated totals in the
bills represent first Federal costs.
To this must be added mainten
ance expenses, local contribuUont
and other incidentals that would
raise the outlay to well over two
billion dollars.
The committee adopted an
amendment requiring a 21-day
notice to local interests before
approval of projects by the army
engineers. This stemmed from
statements that some people were
unaware of projects until they
had been approved by either the
House or Senate.
“The amendment,” Overton
told a reporter, “will keep people
from saying projects are rail
roaded through Ciongresa.’’
A House provision allowing
connty governments 75 per cent
of money collected from land
leases In connection with flood
control was eliminated. Present
law alldws 25 per cent.
One amendment authorizes ex
penditure of not more than $120,-
000 for an flrplane by the Mis
sissippi River Commission to In
spect flood damage.
