It is possible "the father of waters"
?the Mississippi?has given us a po
litical issue for 1928. Certain it is that
the nation has suffered one of its
greatest calamities during the las few
weeks. It must not occur again.
Whether or not the people should
demand a special session of Congress
to take immediate action, is a ques
tion. We are so fearful such session
might run off into political jockeying,
maneuverings, filibuster or what not
that we hesitate to advocate such ses
sion. However:
For twenty years Congress has
known this condition must be faced
and action taken to eliminate a flood
of this kind. It was only a question
of when all head waters would be
high at the same time. That condition
came about this year. You see the re
sults. **
President Roosevelt's Conservation
Commission engineers urged that
Mississippi floods be abolished by
storage reservoirs at the head waters
and its main tributaries. That was
twenty years ago?and since then
Congress has evidently had more im
portant business than to protect the
thousands in the Mississippi valley a
gainst devastation.
~ ? ? i ?
Whether it be m special session or
the regular session in December, the
"first thing Congress should consider
and adopt is Secretary Hoover's nat
ional plan for water conservation and
distribution. One project therein is
designed to bar any repetition of the
Mississippi disaster by building thir
teen storage dams in the headwaters
of the Cumberland and Tennesset
rivers, incidentally developing un
known horsepower of electric energy
When these two rivers are controlled
the Mississippi will be harmless.
We were rich enough to retire on<
billion dollars of our national debi
last year. We are talking about anoth
er three hundred million dollar tai
cut next session of Congress. There
fore, we are too rich to keep congress
men in office who wil not protect ou:
fellow citizens and home buiders-, bu
instead, spend their time playing poli
tics for corporate interests.
AIRMEN PLAN NEW DEEDS OF

or??
Etah to Point Barrow, Alaska, ii
search of islands.
Any one of these may be the nex
spectacular air flight, it was indicate
recently. Commander Riehard E
Byrd was reported to be considerihj
? the abandonment of his plan to fl;
from New York to Paris now tha
"Slim" Lindbergh has blazed that glo
rious trail, and turn his attention t<
new worlds to conquor by air.
Byrd, who achieved undying fa mi
by flying over the North Pole, has no
officially announced any change o
the plans for the flight of the three
motored monoplane, "America" whicl
had been tuning up for the New York
to-Paris flight, but Byrd was said b
have lost modi of his desire to raaki
the Paris jump. The "America" wil
not fly for at least a week, it wa;
stated at Roosevelt Field.
; "Lindbergh accomplished many o;
the things. I hoped we might accom
plisht" said Byrd, as he paid high tri
bote to the youth
The flight to Paris of the Bellanm
plane,, which Clarence D. Chamberlain
noted endurance flyer wa3 to pilot, lai
been abandoned definitely.
There was a weU-defmed moveroen
io aiow Lindbergh's achievement U
stand alone.
Friends of Byrd may persuade hin
to make an entirely new. flight. The
; first of the suggested new routes ii
a flight across the polar regions fron
Etah to Point Barrow for the purpose
of rinding land whose typography ii
now, unknown. This; flight is knowi
to strongly appeal to Byrd, who is ex
perieaead in Polar flying.
A San Fnntisco-to-Honolulu flighl
is an alternative.; It recommends it
self as a feat of air navigation as ii
wenhi.be extremely difficult to make
on aa objective as small as the Haw
aiian Maad* As * preliminary it has
been suggested that Byrd try for s
non-stop flight from New York to San
Francisco.

! From there the ambassador led
? Lindburgn to the marble staircase in
: side, the embassy, and for several min
s utes he was surrounded by reporters.
- He answered questions and told of his
. flight It had been better going than
, he thought it would be up the Ameri
can coast, but for the next 1,000 miles
i over the waters of- the Atlantic; the
t weather was "about as bad as could
- be." He had to go through fog and
i sleet and rain, sometimes flying as
- low as ten feet above the water be
- cause of the fog, and sometimes ris
r ing 10,600 feet to avoid the storm.
t Then daylight, and after many !
- more.h :urs of steady going, ever true
to the course he had mapped for him
self, there came into view the hills of
. Ireland and the worst was over. Vic
tory was in sight. By dusk he had
Lflp" ? Vi. "'pOwqjrb
? ? 1
searchlights guiding him to ms goax.
k Finally the brilliant illumination of
Eiffel tower caught his eyes and he
a knew he had made Paris. A few minu
tes later his silvery ship of the dlr
t glided out of the -darkness of night
3 into the glare of searchlights switched
L on to show him the landing field.
I Confronted by a group of news
y paper men Lindbergh began:
t _ "Being newspaper men, I suppose
- you gentlemen are interested first in
3 knowing what was the most dangerous
thing about our flight The most dan
e gerous thing of all was that landing
t at le Bourget, bringing that ship
f down on a field with_ali thaf crowd
- running. I had more fear at that rno
1 ment for the welfare of our plane than
? .
at any other time in the whole flight {
"The first part of the flight was
better and easier than any of us ex
pected. The field in New York was
muddy, which made the takeoff a lit
tle long, but we got away all right.
"All the way up the American coast
to Newfoundland we had uncommon- -
ly good weather?lots better than we
expected. But for the next 1,000 miles
it couldn't have been much worse for
us."
At this juncture the ambassador re- \
marked: "When Lindbergh says 'we'j
he means the ship and himself."
j. All the wty through, except when
asked for a personal opinion of some
thing, the flier used the ffrst person
plural in describing the voyage.
"? "After we got away from land,"
continued the aviator, "we ran intoj
fog, then rain, then hail. Sometimes j
we flew not more than ten fe^t above }
, the .water, and the highest wa?^l?,000 J
JjPi '
altitude for the whole second 1,000
? miles of the flight was less than 100
[feet
"H we had known that the weather
would be as bad over that part of the
ocean as it turned out to be, we would
not have started, but once we got into
it, there was not any use in turning
back; there wasn't anything to do But
keep going.
"We were mighty happy to see the
dawn, which we ran into about 2 o'
clock, New York time. In the after
noon we picked up Ireland. From the
map? we had ami from what I had
| read at home I knew that England was
; a sort of hilly, rolling cosintry, France
pretty flat and Ireland inclined to be
; mountainous. So when I saw pretty

"When I got there, I -wasn't quit*
sure that it was Le Bourget. Thai
is why I flew around there sevetS
minutes. I thought Le Bourget raus
a little farther on, but when the*
turned on the field lights I figure*
that must be the place. Then the crowi
began racing out there into the light
and there wasn't any more doubt a
bout it" ?
"I am mighty glad to meet you,
3ir. I have heard deal about
you. We?I?did all Ly dead reck
oning. We didn't carry any astrono
mical instruments, and I don't know
how to use a sextant." %r ?<
fWhat points did you fly over; in
crossing from Ireland to France?"
some one jutted,-f'}$
"Hand me the map; I'll tell you,"
Lindbergh repied.
In answer to another question he
said he did not feel either hungry or i
sleepy during the flight, and as to his
meals?"I ate about a sandwich and a
half and drank about a half glass of
water. I kept the windows open all 1
the way,. But, you see, our ship, the
way she is built, you are protected ~
from straight winds, and so we didnt :
have that discomfort." j
"How did you fly froip Cherbourg
on to ^Paris?" >
"Oh, just came on in a straight -
line, picked up the beams of the search
lights all right and saw the Seine.
Then when I got a look at Eiffel
Tower all lit up, I knew that was i
Paris, and I had Been told at home *
that LeBorget waS 14 kilometers north
east of Paris.
