It criticizes high costs and wartime demand, notes Arkansas river surveys with 147100 dollars, and favors Millwood Dam reconsideration due to a projected 4.8 million price tag.

Soldier Gets Even for His Kid Brother on the Korean Front
Ohio infantryman Ronald E. Rosser, 24, Croksville, is credited by comrades with a ferocious charge up a Red held ridge. He fired with one hand and hurled grenades, then repeatedly stormed bunkers. Rosser killed ten Chinese soldiers in a single assault and rescued wounded under heavy fire. His motive cited was avenging his kid brother, killed with the 1st Cavalry Division last February. Rosser’s actions followed a pattern of fearless, relentless assault.
