Intensive re- search into the economic phases of | such development should receive more attention than any other one factor, he said, adding that such research had been neglected in the past. Mr. Bibbins reviewed the financial his- tory of the Mississippi River service, | and told thé congress sofe of the| needs for inland waterway develop- ment and deeper port development. President J.

United States At- torney Hayward announced that an appeal would be taken immediately | to the Supreme Court. | .
