They quoted ‘Weaver, former gov- ernor of Nebraska, as saying “It is a crime” not to use Missouri flood waters to restore subsurface water levels in the Dakotas, as contem- plated in the diversion program. Cost of the project, they said he assured them, was of secondary importance in view of its promised benefit to; drought-stricken farm areas in the two states and Minnesota. With $25,000,000 already allotted from public works funds for the Fort Peck project, it has been viewed as a possible obstacle to acceptance by the administration of the diversion program which involved construction of a dam at Garrison, North Dakota, down the river from Fort Peck. . Weaver is to confer Monday with diversion proponents, including Frank Murphy, regional public works ad- viser, and a group of prominent North Dakotans.

D., Oct. 27.—(P)—A general business session occupied dele- gates to the North Dakota Farmers Union convention Friday with affairs of the poultry pool discussed in closed session.
