Fuss Over Missouri River Flow Sparks Senate Hearing
Kansas City Chamber of Commerce president Jay Dillingham urged sharply restricting Missouri River flow to curb floods, saying water releases should be cut off at times to boost upstream reservoir storage for future hydroelectric power. Senator Case countered that extremes risk leaving others out. Hearings by Senate Public Works and Interior consider Missouri River water use with about 40 witnesses. Symington supported Dillingham, citing 1951 Kansas City flood, and noted flood control benefits beyond power concerns. W T Hanlon urged a TVA like agency to govern river water.
