POLITICS SLOWS FLOOD PROJECT, WILSON STATE

Ohio Chamber of Commerce |

Reported to Fear New ‘TVA’ Setup.

By LYLE C. WILSON (Copyright, 1937, by United Press) CINCINNATI, O, Feb. 11.—Politics and “Roosevelt planning” in the Ohio Valley combine today to delay and confuse flood control action in this state. It is likely, however, when the cost this winter's computed, that some of stacles to action will disappear.

Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Illinois prevailed with a combination Federal-State plan indorsed by President Roosevelt, The conference established a nine-state Ohio Basin Commission to coordinate flood control operations.

Chamber Opposes Proposal But there are further obstacles. A portion of the Ohio business community, notably the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, is said to suspect that

Mr. Roosevelt might take the oppor- |

tunity provided by flood control spending to create an “Ohio Basin —that is to create a Federal authority which, in Mr. Roosevelt's language, would undertake “to remake the face of nature” in this

aking subsidiary schemes and projects should be deprecated and | opposed.” The Cincinnati Post has pointed out this possibly would exclude needed stream purification. The Ohio plan, indorsed by Gov-

| ernor Martin L. Davey and the Ohio | Legislature, but already importantly |

amended by the action of the Inter-

| State Conference, was to assess all

flood control costs against the Federal Government and to assign every

project to United States Army Engi- | | to co-operate with private compan-!

neers. Power Problem Debated That policy would have preyented intervention of an Ohio Valley Authority similar to the Tennessee Val= | lev Authority which, during the | presidential campaign, was one of the principal targets of those who charged the Administration with in-

'vasion of the prerogatives of private

business. Army engineers have explained frequently that flood control and | power production rarely can be | combined in a single system of dams. That is because flood con-

trol reservoirs must be kept nearly |

West Virginia and the Clarion in Pennsylvania. Both have been excluded from the reservoir projects proposed in those areas.
