WASHINGTON, Nov, 7 (U. P.).— The House Rivers and Harbors Committee today approved the $1,000,000,000 1942 omnibus rivers and
the St. Lawrence waterway and the Florida ship canal. Chairman Joseph Mansfield (D. Tex.) said the action was taken by a “substantial mapority.” Major changes in the previously approved projects were made in the Florida ship canal, in which the Army engineers were authorized to limit the project to a 9 or 12-foot barge canal i this were found fease
The Committee changed the language of the St. Lawrence seaway authorization to permit transfer of power installations along the St. Lawrence to the New York power authority upon payment of $93,000,000. The original language would only have authorized use of thes efacilities. The St. Lawrence project would be built at a cost to the Federal Government of $285,000,000 and the Florida ship canal, under original plans, at a cost of $197,000,000. If

National Defense: Agency to - Speed Rearming Urged ‘By Committee.
Laws that would:make it a crime to strike. or to incite, advocate, or foment a sirike in defense industries were advocated today in a resolution passed by the American Legion Executive Committee. The ' resolution, which branded “our national sacrifice: and effort” as now ‘being - wasted in “all too many . instances,” called for the creation - of a National ‘Defense Agency with full authority and: responsibility for attaining the national objectives. Passed amid applause and without a dissenting vote, the resolution further called - for - the immediate stabilization : of prices, wages and rents, and demanded that. defense | industry be: drafted “if ‘selfish ‘advantage is placed above the welfare of the nation.” :
FDR, Congress Criticized
The preamble to the resolution placed upon President: Roosevelt and Congress the ‘blame for confusion and delay in the attainment of the defense objectives because’ a single agency, such as the War Industries. Board of World War 1, has not been created to ‘administer | the defense program. It blamed “labor : racketeers and profiteers who place personal. advantage above the welfare of the nation” with crippling industry| h ‘strikes and lockouts. It [charged that loyal workers] “are | intimidated, beaten and prevented from working by goon squads who crush opposition by force,” and it charged that the “American people are not aroused to the of war being forced upon us and finding us unprepared.” Other activities’ that would be-. come criminal if the Congress acted favorably upon the resolution: would be the advocstion of slowdowns or.
