HARE FIGHTS VALIANTLY FOR CLARK’S HILL PROJECT WASHINGTON, May 30. — The House today administrered a sharp setback to the $28,000,000 Clarks Hill hydroelectric, navigation and flood control project, but sponsors of the huge South Carolina-Georogia development nevertheless went for ward with new plans to seek passage of the proposal. Action came during debate on the War department’s civil functions ap propriations bill. Byrnes Supporter Authorization for the Clarks Hill project had. been attached -o this bill by Senator James F. Byrnes in a clever parliamentary maneuver, but the House refused to accept this amendment. A point of order was raised in the House against an authorization be ing included on an appropriation bill. Despite the pleas of Representatives Butler B. Hare and Paul Brown, of Georgia, the House voted down the Clarks Hill proposal. Representative Hare came to the hall virtually from his sickbed to plead for the bill. With his throat still sore from a recent tonsil operation, he nevertheless took the floor to point out that the Senate was justified in placing the Clarks Hill project on this appropriation bill since the rules of the Senate commerce committee made the project unacceptable as part of the rivers and harbors bill. As was the case with all the other authorizations attached to this bill, the House refused to let it stand. Following the vote. Hare stressed that efforts were by no means ended. He said an effort would be made to attach the project to the House-ap proved flood control bill when it comes before the Senate, and that if this move failed, a similar effort would be made in regard to the rivers and harbors bill. “We will keep right on trying un til we finally get it passed,” Hare declared. Pleads for Bill In urging the House to approve the Senate’s action, the third district congressman stated: “The national resources commit tee, as well as the federal power com mission, find and conclude that the industrial possibilities of the Savan nah river valley and adjacent terri tory are practically in their begin ning, although within a radius of 75 miles of this site we find the center of the great textile industry of both South Carolina and Georgia. The fed- erel power commission concludes there is, and will be, ample and suitable markets for all of the power to be generated at this plant when com pleted. “It is made clear that the im pounded waters will be sufficient to obviate the possibility of a major flood on the Savannah at any point between Clarks Hill and the Atlantic ocean. It is shown- further the waters can be loosed in dry weather and pro vide a six-foot channel! from Au gusta to the ocean for at least part of the time. In addition, it is esti mated that there can be generated upwards of 400,000,000 kilowatt hours of electric current for rural electrification if needed, as well as added industrial enterprises. Flood Meausre “Permit me to say that it has been my privilege and honor to represent every county touching the Savannah river and its tributaries on the South Carolina side from the North Carolina line to the Atlantic ocean, and I hope to see, before I retire from Congress, a development that will obviate the possibility of further disastrous floods on this stream and a development of electric power sufficient to meet the needs of every person and every ac tivity adjacent thereto. “This proposal has probably been studied, investigated and enthusi astically recommended by more gov- emmental agencies than any other similar project now before Congress, including the United States Senate, and I confidently hope that the motion will be approved.” THANKS BURTON WELLS CITY OF ATLANTA Department of Fire 166 Alabama St., S.

SOLONS WILL HAVE TO START OVER Governor Maybank Tuesday vetoed the appropriations bill, stating that the defects of the bill were “funda mental” “and cannot be eliminated by the deletion of a section here and a section there.” “For you gentlemen to adjourn and leave an appropriation bill whose constitutionality is questioned is most unreasonable and I could not consider it” the governor said. He continued, “Since I can only recommend and my recommendations have been ignored, it is now your duty to carry out the provisions of the constitution of South Carolina.” The governor stated that the bill left uncared for a deficit of $3,300,- 000. “The clear obligation of the general assembly is to bring this budget into balance” he said.
