A [ i F ; E t # ant ueeste & GOVERNMENT FEARS STABILITY OF DAM, DECLARES: MPKINNON President’s “Aide Wants Assur- ance It Will Hold Before Going Ahead INTERESTED BUT NOT SOLD Indicates That Other Methods of Diverting Water Are Being Considered The United States government is not going to build a dar in the Mis- souri river for water diversion pur- Poses unless army engineers assure them that it will hold. ‘This was the reaction of A. D. Mc- Kinnon, head of the C. C. C. organ- ization in North Dakota, after a con- ference at Devils Lake Tuesday with Stephen T. Early, one of the presi- dent's secretaries. Early, McKinnon sald, was collect- tl ing data for the president and asked McKinnon to @ conference in order to get the slant of government engi- neers other than those in the army service. Showing familiarity with all phases: of the project, Early said flatly that the government would not build a Missouri river dam if there appeared to be the slightest chance that it might some day suddenly give way, loosing billions of gallons of water upon the lower valley with the pos- sible destruction of thousands of lives and much property. This observa- tion was based, McKinnon said, on an engineering report that a solid found- ation for the proposed dam cannot be found unless the river bed is excavat- ed to a depth of 150 feet. | ‘Another question asked by . Early, McKinnon disclosed, was the relative value and fertility of the lands which would be flooded and the lands which would be benefited by diversion. Spe- cifically he inquired if ic would not be @ poor trade to flood the Missouri river bottoms in order to benefit the uplands and if it might not be better and cheaper to pump water from the river for diversion irposes, using cheap electricity {1 the Fort Peck project, than to build a dam. The conference lasted until Presi- dent Roosevelt returned from his trip around Devils Lake, McKinnon said, ‘of| 8nd he was introduced to the presi- dent as the latter returned to his special train. McKinnon’s observation was that the administration’s attitude, as indi- cated by Early, is one of intention to get water on North Dakota's parched sol: if it is possible to do 80 econ- omically, but that it would be well to consider other methods than that of whose|dam construction. McKinnon ex- pressed the view that, as a matter of Policy, North Dakota might do well to stress the need for river diversion ,| Without being too specific as to the method, leaving this to the govern- Pree ment’s engineers to work out.

Secretaries Wallace and Hull ex- pose of reciprocal trade agreements to be negotiated with foreign coun- tries. They joined in saying that neither agriculture nor manufactur- ing would suffer. the early stages of the nation’s econ- consisted mainly of the exchange of farm products for manufactured articles from other countries.

Nye. ‘The senator had made charges of Graft in the Langer administration and the committee wanted him—in fact practically dared him—to appear and subsianuate them. But Wednesday afternoon, when Nye did appear, the committeemen demanded that anything he had to say be offered in executive session. Nye refused on the ground that he preferred to say what he had to say publicly. An impasse resulted and Nye, who apparently was prepared to substantiate his charges, left the room without performing his mission. It was as funny a-piece of political by-play as North Dakota has seen in weeks and constituted a lightening contrast with the more serious devel- opments of the last month. Earlier Wednesday Nye had told newsmen he would not participate in any “star chamber” session and re- porters were on hand to hear the Proceedings. Members of the sub- committee, appointed to conduct the investigation by the general commit- tee of 15, were on hand when the re- porters arrived. They were H. T. Pet- erson of Mountrail county, chairman: W. J. Flannigan, Jamestown; W. B. Falconer, Bismarck, and W. J. God- win, Mandan, good Langer men all. With them sat J. M. Hanley, Man- dan, as counsel for the group. Use Defense Fund Room The room used by the committee for its session was that of the Defense Fund committee on the fourth floor of the Patterson hotel. Nye, who had been asked to appear at 3:30 p. m., sat in his room two doors away as the reporters gathered for the hearing. Before Nye appeared Hanley and Peterson went into a huddle which ended with Hanley announcing “we have decided this will be an execu- tive meeting. All others will please step from the room. This order in- cludes newspapermen.” Passing the newshawks in the hotel corridor, Nye learned of the situation ‘as he approached the committeeroom, left the door open as he entered. The newsmen stood in the doorway to hear the fun. It began when Flannigan informed Nye that the meeting was to be a secret one. “I am sorry,” replied Nye. “If that is the case I shall have to step out. I believe it would be only fair to have the meeting open. With all due def. érence to the committee and each of you as members, I do not wish to take part in any proceeding unless it is @n open one.” joner, effective immediately, and declare that a vacancy | Volved. alfell Ta i ij E | ii 7 Lis i cE iE
