Senator McMaster (S. D. . chair man of the committee, said today he will confer with officials tomor row, and that the special executive committee being formulated to push upper Missouri river development will be organized at once. McMaster stated the halfymillion dollar allot ment is not brfieved the final word from Secretai of War James Good, although the announcement came af ter an extended conference with Gen eral Jadwin, chief of army engineers, who told Secretary Good that, in his opinion, no additional funds were available at present. Expects Real Work. "I have not been informed that Secretary Good's allotment is his re sponse to our recent plea that five or six millions be spent between Sioux City and Kansas City next vear," McMaster said. "In view of the secretary's favorable reaction to our request at that time, I feel he is sroing to initiate some real work in that section during the next few months." In conference with Ballard Dunn, chairman cf the waterways commit tee of the Omaha Chamber of Com merce, here today, McMaster was in formed that Dunn will call upon Sec retary Good tomorrow morning to '-ubmit facts in refutation cf the Jadwin contention. Dunn will assert, it is reported, that not only does congress intend that funds approprinted for inland waterways development he used at olaces of emergency, but that it is he dutv of the war department to use additional funds at those places where development for navigation can h expedited. Mr. Jadwin is of the opinion tint appropriated funds are all "morally" allocated in individual projects, and should not he used on others. Specific Reference. In this connection, Dunn will noint out to Secretary Good specific reference to this point made by the .cuse appropriation committee in hearings on the war department ap oropriation bill on January 3. 1929. The committee report states: "Tn the committee's judgment, the sum proposed in the accompanying hill (war department bill) is ade luate for prosecuting the work on existing projects with a proper de cree of dispatch. The appropriation Mways runs will in excess of actual cash demands. Most of the money ma be ahligated. it is true, but the amount of available cash has con tinued to run in excess of 20 million lollars of maturing contracts. "Ir Pcsition to Rorpond." "For example, actual cash dis bursements during the first four months of this fiscal year have rang ed less than five million dollars. On November 1. 192S, there was avail ible to the credit of the appropria tion $fi3,673.SS5.07. If during the remaining eight months actual cash withdrawls should run at the rate of five million dollars per month there would be cash available at the end of the fiscal year to the extent of $25,673,885.07. Being so situated, the department is in a position to respond to demands for a more rapid rate of progress where circumstances might seem to warant some accelea tion." Claiming the upper Missouri is. according to the statement of the secretary of war here recently, in the category of projects where "cir cumstances might seem to warant some acceleation," Senator McMas ter and other members of the com mittee will cite this as authority for providing additional funds out of the lump sum unexpended. That there will be a surplus, they say. is re vealed in the quotation from the com mittee report.
