hastening the complete strangulation of all railway passenger service as well ar depressing other commercial passenger carriers.” “It is high time for the federal government to stop applying the brake to domestic travel," he said. “I implore your immediate and serious consideration of the desirability of recommending to the Congress a repeal of this transpor-

. tation tax, not only for railways . but for other modes of passenger •travel. It is folly to continue an excise tax which defeats itself and ! also gravely damages a large seg- , ment of America's economy.” ' If vou have something to sen <r , rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results.

; Sen. Capehart Asks : For Flood Control • WASHINGTON <UPI) — Sen. ■ Homer Ek* Capehart will appear before, a Senate subcommittee Thursday in behalf of Indiana flood control and navigation projects involving millions of dollars in federal funds. Capehart plans to ask the Public Works Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee to approve expenditures in fiscal 1960 of $1,663,000 for construction of the Mansfield Reservoir, $430,000 for construction of an Evansville flood wall, $200,000 for ( construction of a Vincennes flood wall-levee, $150,000 for advanced engineering and design of the Mississinewa Reservoir, $150,000 for engineering and design bf the Salamonie Reservoir, $25,000 for enineering and design of the Huntington Reservoir, and $54,000 for the Mason J. Niblack Levee. Capehart also will ask approval of $31,627,000 for construction of the Markland Locks & Dam and $10,300,000 for construction of Lock and Dam 41 at Louisville, both navigat'on projects on the Ohio River flowing along the state’s southern border. Capehart will recommend that $150,000 be appropriate for the Cannelton Lock ‘ and Dam and $250,000 for' the ‘ Uniontown Lock and Dam on the Ohio River for advanced engineering and design. These also are navigation projects. The need for funds to restudy the Brookville Reservoir on the East Fork of the Whitewater River also will be mentioned by Capehart. He said the project was authorized in 1938. He said the Corps of Engineers advised him a few weeks ago that $25,000 could be utilized for the project in fiscal 1960 to initiate preconstruction planning. Capehart said as a result of flood damage in the area as recently as January, the project merits the subcommittee’s attention and approval of a $25,000 a ppropr ia ioh. .; Capehart also will call attention to the need for funds for examinations and surveys on the Wabash and White Rivers. He will ask that $25,000 be allocated for the Wabash survey and $20,000 for the White survey.
