Flood Control to Be Aired at Meetings
A 1937 Coquille river survey underpins hearings on flood control and watershed development. Recommendations include bank protection at Mile nine, wash closures at Beaver Slough and Fat Elk, and tidal land dikes from the river mouth to Mile nine. County agents urge written briefs and attendance to detail costs and benefits for irrigation, wildlife, sanitation, and municipal use.

Republicans Could Seize Senate in Special Election
The Christian Science Monitor notes a strong possibility that Republicans gain control of the U S Senate when sessions reopen in Washington. Democrats currently hold 49 seats to 47 for Republicans, but Senator Price Daniels of Texas must resign to become governor, triggering a special election with multiple Democrats and one Republican Thad Hutchinson. If Hutchinson wins, the chamber would be split 48 to 48, giving Republicans control via the Vice President’s tiebreaking vote.
