With Smaller Places Hardest Hit Hotel Business Off, Survey Shows CHICAGO U.R) Hotel business in the United States has dropped perceptibly during the past year, according to a United Press sur vey. Hotel managers in the nation's tourist centers reported the larg est decline in business, with pc cupancy falling off as much as 15 per cent in California and more than six per cent in New York City. Business is slower than it was in 1947 in the Pacific northwest, but hotel managers said much of the drop was' due to the disas trous floods in June. Hotels in Texas said that business was slower there because of unusual ly hot weather. Philadelphia hotel managers, buoyed by three national politic al conventions and other nation- j al conventions, reported that oc cupancy was mudi higher than last year. Wisconsin, which is holding its centennial celebration, has had nearly 100 per cent occu pancy in many hotels. Week End Trade Off Nearly all managers reported that week-end trade had fallen off from the high rate establish ed during and immediately after the war, but that the decrease had been expected. Commercial travelers from the backbone of the hotel trade and nearly all hotels in the 35 cities surveyed reported that during the early part of the week, when traveling men do most of their business, occupancy is almost as high as it ever was. The Chicago Hotel Association said 1946 was the peak year for hotel business in the nation. Last year was not as good as' 1946 and except for a few scattered in stances, 1948 is not expected to be as profitable as 1947, the as sociation said. Smaller hotels already are be ginning to feel the pinch of the decreased trade, the survey re vealed. The smaller hotels have in the pas't few years been get ting customers turned down at the main hotels. But since the de cline in business, that fell off. People Retrenching None of the hotel managers surveyed said he expected to en counter serious financial difficul ties, but many expressed concern over the turn of affairs. They s'aid that the high cost of living had caused many persons to postpone promised vacations and had forced those who did take pleasure trips to conserve wherever possible. At Salt Lake City, Utah, the leading hotels reported that their business had improved over last year, but operators of the smaller places expressed doubt. "Last year we were getting a lot of overflow from the large hotels but this year we're not," one manager said. "Our business has fallen off about 15 per cent during the past month and I would imagine that the larger hotels have noticed a decrease, no matter what they say. I don't know what we are going- to do if business doesn't improve and im prove fast." Death of Former Resident of Plattsmouth Saturday word was received by Mrs. Frank L.

With free entertainment for parade participants, a huge "fam ily picnic" and more than 500 posts and auxiliary units of vet-; eran organizations in Nebraska, taking part, the day's activities are expected to break a record in total attendance, declared Grossman. "We already have over 25 bands and drum corps units scheduled," he stated.

Missouri Basin To Need More Funds in J49 Army engineers' and the re clamation bureau may have to ask congress for as much as $275,000,000 next year to keep Missouri basin development pro grams going at their projected six-year pace. Flood control and reclamation appropriations for the area in the 1843-49 fiscal year total $137. 950,150 $83,163,500 for flood control and $54,786,650 for re clamation or about 17 percent of the national total of $818,000, 000. In a recent report by the in terior Missouri basin field com mittee, government officials sug gested that unless appropriations for the basin next year are "more than double" this year's outlays, the whole plan may prove "much more ambitious than can be rea lized." Should Congress accept the field comittee's view, it would be confronted with the choice of either curtailing the basin program or voting for the Missouri region a sum greater than the $246,000,000 approved in 1947 for general flood control in the entire United States. The $275,000,000 estimated as necessary to keep the Missouri program rolling is, furthermore, almost three-fourths the national total voted in 1947 for general flood control and reclamation combined. Some congressional leaders say they fear driving the total too high. Resistance to big flood con trol projects showed signs' of stiffening this year among mem bers from states not directly benefitting from the developments.
