Timberland Once Acted as Giant Reservoir.

By Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, March 22.—Man, not nature; is the basic cause of Ohio river floods, according to census and weather bureau statistics compiled by the commerce department, The compilation was made by Frank R. Wilson, expert on census

‘interpretations, He points out. that

the Ohio Valley had more rainfall B50 yaars ago than it does today. "The floods have risen as timberland on farms has been cut, and wooded hills no longer exist to act as natural reservoirs.

Statistics Compiled

His data shows that in 1880 there were 5,860,000 acres of timberland on Pennsylvania farms. The rainfall for 1890 was 51.28 inches. In 1940 Pennsylvania timberland had been cut to 2,935,000 acres and rainfall was 43.71 inches. Similar figures for other states are: Indiana 5,935,000 acres of timberland in 1880 and Fainfall 49.50 inches in 1890; 1940 timber 2,340,000 acres, rainfall 32.55 inches. Ohio, timber 5,982,000 in 1880, rainfall 50.37 inches 1890; timber 2,413,000 in 1940, rainfall 38.15. Illinois, timber 4,935,000 in 1880, rainfall 37.62 in 1890; timber 1913,000 in 1940, rainfall 28.78; Michigan, timber 4,452,000 in 1880, rainfall 34.23 in 1890; timber 2,710,000 in 1940, rainfall 32.66. Kentucky, timber 10,106,000 in 1880, rainfall 5882 in 1890; timber 4,592,000 in 1940, rainfall 38.86. A ‘Natural Sponge’ The census bureau reported adequate timber figures for 1880 while the weather bureau reported its best rainfall figures for 1890, Mr. Wilson explained in citing the dif-|

ferent dates used. |

“Woodlands were a kind of nat-| ural sponge which soaked up and held the greater rainfall,” he said. “When man destroyed the forests and failed to substitute small dams, reservoirs; strip and contour farming, he made the floods although actual rainfall decreased. “Now he must go back into the hills and mountains and repair the damage he has done by his ‘civlization.’ Cities may be spared by seawalls and great dams downstream. But to save the land, protection must be established at the source.”

CAPITAL CITY OF PANAY CAPTURED

MANILA, March 22 (U. P).— American troops and Filipino guerrillas tracked down scattered Japanese remnants on Panay today | after crushing the last organized

resistance with the capture of |

Iloilo, capital of the island. . Virtual eompletion of the Panay | campaign came as American bombers from the Philippines stepped up their aerial offensive to severely pound. the Japanese shipping resources from the eastern Philippines to the coast of China.

Thirteen Japanese vessels, in-|

cluding five small warships, were destroyed or damaged in the Wide-

spread mir attacks:

. The campaign on Panay, sixth largest. of the Philippines, overwhelmed the main Japanese forces in 52 hours.

TEN THOUSAND miles ‘can’t separate ‘a man from his best friend—so Sgt. Edgar C. Godard, of Huntington, Pa., and “Blackie,” nondescript dog he acquired in Abadan, Persia, six months ago, are reunited. Godard was returned to Bowman field, Louisville, Ky., on a rotation plan. Immigration officials frowned on his dog following. Appeal to his congressman, unidentified, resulted in “Blackie” taking a 10,000-mile ride on a Liberty ship. Here they are reunited.

PLACES WAR'S COST AT TRILLION PLUS JOHANNESBURG, South Africa | (U, P)~Lt. Col, John J, Dobson, president of the Association Scientific and Technical Societies of

South Africa, predicted the expenditure on arms for the war against

Germany and Japan would total |

more than $1,400,000,000,000, Dobson said this was apart from the cost of rebuilding devastated areas. “It is beyond human intelligence,” he said, “to assess the blessings that might have been showered on humanity by this stu-’ pendous sum. Future generations will regard those responsible for world wars I and II as intellectual bankrupts ‘and demagogic maniacs.”
