WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Army engineers today reported to Congress that a total of $8,370,300 might

be .spent profitably in Indiana dur-|

ing the fiscal year 1941 for flood control, rivers and harbors. For the nation, Maj. Gen. J. L. Schley, chief of Army Engineers, told Congress that the Federal Gov-

ernment can spend profitably $400,444660 during the next fiascal year. The bulk would go into flood control. : ; : Eleven Indiana flpod control projects are listed for a total expenditure of $7,721,300, including $1,020,000 for Warfleigh levee and $200,000 for the Fall Creek levee in Indianapolis, Other Projects Listed | Amounts listed for other Indiana flood control projects include $118,000 for the Wabash River at Peru, $450,000 for Wabash at Logansport, $1,533,900 for Wabash levee No. 5, $39,000 for While River levee No. 10, $4100 for White No. 9, $1,100,000 for Shoals Reservoir, Ohio River basin, $1,650,000, at JeffersonvilleClarksville, $1,000,000 at New |Albany and $606,300 at Evansville. / The amount listed as to be profitably expended on rivers and harbors in Indiana for the fiscal year, which. commences in July, totals $649,000, of which $209,000 is listed for maintenance and $440,000 for new work, i

New work would be on the Calumet Harbor and River in both Indiana and Illinois, which also would account for $100,000 of the maintenance. Other maintenance listed is $84,000 for Indiana Harbor and $25,000 for Michigan City. Southern Indiana would share in the $1,250,000 new work Tisted for the Ohio River {channel cand $2,-

The estimated cast of the project, revised in 1937, is $1,020,000 for construction and $118,000 for lands and damages. i: “Local interests have given informal assurances that the local cooperation requirements will be complied with. Preliminary plans were completed during the fiscal year 1938. Construction has not been started. The total costs and expenditures to the end of the fiscal year were $410.50 from regular funds,

Army Order Affects 120,000

The suspension of British overseas army leaves affects about 120,000 or 60 per cent of the men now in France. ~ Naturally. the suspension was linked directly to the Netherlands and Belgium situation.

Morning newspapers generally suggested that the Holland and Belgian precautions were evidence that both Governments had received strong evidence of a possible German threat. Such measures, the newspapers said, would not have been taken lightly. The strange thing was that there seemed no real evidenge of any likelihood' of a German offensive, and the general disposition here was to discount the possibility of an. early thrust. There was no comment here on an Athens hewspaper report that it was not- Germany which was thinking of action on the Western Front, but Britain itself. Air Marshal A. S. Barratt assumed his new post as air officer commanding in chief the British air forces in France. He will work in close co-operation with Gen. Viscount Gort, commander in chief of the expeditionary force.

Harmony Promised

In his first “order of the day,” Mr. Barratt said that the British air ‘force -in France, finally united under his command; would fly wing tip to wing tip with the French air force “in doing our share with the allied armies in the field to bring this war to a speedy and decisive conclusion.” : The excitement over military precautions came just at a time when attention would have been centered on the reopening of Parliament tomorrow. Then Leslie Hore-Belisha, ousted War Minister, is due to make a.speech and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is to reply..." It was admitted that Mr. HoreBelisha could cause a national sensation if he chose to speak fully and candidly. It was forecast, however, that he would say little so as to make Mr. Chamberlain's course easy and avoid any suggestion of national disunity.

Holland had been taken. at the instigation of the French and British. “In view of the impossibility of activity along the Maginot Line they (France and Britain) now are seeking to provoke Germany in Holland and Belgium,” DNB said. Well-informed quarters in Amsterdam and Brussels, DNB said, are aware that the information which caused Holland and Belgium to take precautionary military measures was furnished by the British and French Governments. “One has the impression that the tendency to more active conduct of the war has won the upper hand on the French side,” DNB said. In authorized quarters said: “We are watchfully waiting to see how far Belgium and Holland will allow themselves to be influenced by this (British and French) incitement.” It was noted that the attitude of German political cireles towards the latest events in Belgium and Holland - was considerably more conservative than it was several weeks ago when a sharp German press campaign was launched against Holland for what ‘was claimed to have been her unneutral conduct,

Norway Open to Arms Shipments, Note Hints

OSLO, Norway, Jan. 15 (U. P.).— Norway was disclosed today to have sent a note to Soviet Russia hinting that the Government would permit transport of arms across

Norwegian territory to Finland. The note, sent to Moscow Jan. 6, denied that arms had been transported across Norway in the past put said that it was not considered that such would be in violation of international law. The statement was taken to mean that in the future Norway might permit’ countries such as Britain and France to send arms through Norwegian territory. The note “replied to the Soviet note of Jan. 5, charging Norway with facilitating shipment of arms to Finland and stating that some arms already had reached Finland.

Twelve of the men were members of the New York National Guard— one was a captain—or had served in either the Army or Navy. Mr. Hoover alleged they had stolen 12 Army Springfield rifles from National Guard armories — plus their stock of rifle ammunition. They| called themselves the “Sports Club” of the Christian Front and maintained a camp at Narrowsburg, N. Y., where they had a rifle and pistol range and also practiced bomb making and throwing. Federal agents, he said, had taken ‘long-range motion pictures of them engaged in their exercises.
