mind of George I1emus, who is on

CHARGES HUGE
LOBBY READY TO
DEFEAT DAM BILL
Ey KENNETH CRAWFORD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Charges
that a gigantic lobby has been or
ganized here by public utilities in
terests to defeat the Boulder Dam
bill and open Muscle Shoals to pri-
vate exploitation may precipitate u
demand for another senatorial in
vestigation at the coming session of
congress.
Judson King, director of the Ma
tional Popular Government League,
issued a statement today naming
the joint committee of National
Utility Associations as the hub of
a power lobby organization.
"The principal objectives of this
super-lobby,' King said, care to
kill the Boulder Dam bill, deliver
Muscle Shoals to the power combine,
siGetrack the resolution to investi-
gate the power trust as proposed
by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon
tana and turn over an invaluable
power site belonging to the Flathead
Indians of Montana to the Montana
Power company without just COM
pensation to its owners.
Any action resulting from his
charges probably will originate with
Senator Walsh, who plans to rein
troduce his resolution to investigate
public utility corporations, which
died i'll committee in the last con-
gress.
Walsh told the United Press he
was considering an addition to his
original resolution providing for in
vcstigation of the alleged lobby as
well as the power trust itself.
Johnson Ready to Fight
Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, leader of the senate insur-
gents, said he was convinced the
lobby should be investigated and
hoped Walsh would institute the
movement in connection with his
power trust investigation proposal.
Il have been aware of the ex-
istence of a great power lobby for
some time" said Senator Johnson,
Republican, California, co-author of
the SwingJohnson bill.
- 1t will be an obstacle to Boulder
Dam legislation but we are prepared
to fight it. Driving it into the
open will diminish its effectiveness
somewhat
Kings statement was devoted
largely to discussion of the men
said to be connected with the joint
committee.
Private interests are intent upon
preventing government operation
of public utilities. particularly Boul-
der Dam and Muscle Shoals, the
statement charged, because it will
show up their big profits and wat
cred stock schemes.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

GENEVA, Dec. 2.-The security
commission convened today to con-
slider the concrete proposals of handl-
ing the problems of security and
their kindred questions of arma-
nents. This was the second days
meeting of the commission formed
by the League of Nations prepara-
tory conference.
After several hours discussion the
security commission adjourned. No
cate was fixed for its meeting, the
eonferees deciding to let the dis
armament committee decide the op-
Fortune time.
The bureau of the commission sub
Litted tentative program for
study of the basis of the security
project. This program consisted OF
five main parts:
First, drafting of treaties of arbi-
tration.
Second, proposal for the drafting
of optional agreements between the
nations for the obligatory arbitra-
ton of all disputes.
Third, measures for the promoting
of security agreements.
Fourth, developments possible in
the machinery of the League of
Nations which will enable the mem
bers better to perform their duties
under the league covenant.
Fifth, schemes for financial as
sistance of the states that are the
Victims of aggression.
Committees Named
The security commission s bureau
also proposed the creation of three
subcommittee to prepare reports
on the various projects offered un-
Gel the five points.
The three subcommittee will be
on arbitration agreements, on secur-
itv agreements and on how the ar
ticles of the League of Nations coy-
Grant may be applied best to OBJ
tanning both security and disarma-
rlCnt.
Bogdan Markovic, Jugo Slavia, be-
gan discussion by citing the Italian
Albanian alliance as evidence that
rere league membership was not
considered sufficient guarantee of
security against attack.
Therefore he argued it was neces-
sary to find form of treaty to be
signed by all nations, that would
supply the deficiency and make pri-
Ndte treaties unnecessary.
"Obligatory arbitration by arall
nations of all disputes is the only
new means of providing security
that can be devised, Markovie
concluded.
Count Won Bernstorff, Germany,
asserted that Germany was ready to
collaborate in all security efforts.
But the commission s real object, he
said, must be to suppress war as
means of settling international dis
putes.
