Farmers told controls wouldn’t justify Osage flood measures
Farmers along the Osage River near Eldon challenged U S Army Corps flood controls, arguing that projected costs of about 3.5 million would yield only one fifth in benefits. Col Reuben L. Anderson recommended no federal improvements, urging state and local action instead while recognizing erosion fears tied to Bagnell Dam releases and Dam No 1 operations. Farmers blamed flow fluctuations more than erosion and urged ASC guidance on erosion control.

FCC Denies Bagnell Missouri Radio Permits
The FCC Review Board denied applications by Risner Broadcasting Inc and Lee Mace for radio permits in Missouri. Risner sought standard and FM stations in Lebanon on 1080 kHz and 103.7 MHz, while Mace sought a standard station in Bagnell on 1080 kHz. The decision upheld Examiner Sharfman’s guidance that Risner failed to adequately determine programming needs and Mace did not sufficiently ascertain community needs.
