The Bureau Of Efficiency IS
putting the final touches on

Contents Held Secret
Contents Of the report have been

The report. therefore, is mostly
mass of figures and statistics, re-
viewing the history of the local
companies and comparing it with
conditions In other cities. 1T does
not include any specific recommer.

Offers No Opinions
The Efficiency Bureau, ii ID un.

Judge the merits of the merger
plan as a whole, but will leave that
to Congress-
The figures and statistics which

the plan, such as the $50 900 900

the transfer Of control OF the local
transportation and power utilities

Most Of the report already has

HYDRO P[ An
Up FOR
STUDY

The future of Great Falls
may be determined At ! meet
ing Of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
next week.
The commission. ait that time, win
decide whether to withdraw its Oh.
lection to the development of
shydro-eIectric power plant on the
basis of compromtse plans which
would provide for Installing the
power project without sacrificing
the park potentialities of the region.
The same question was up befcre
the commission at its last full meet.
ing in September, but decision was
postponed until this meeting IN
order to give members d chance To
make further study Of the suE.
gestions.
Surveys Made
since that time the commission's
park committee has made several
tours ofa the Potomac gorge to de-
termine how much of the proposed
park territory would be submerged
under the modified power plans.
The recommendations Of the com
rnittee probably win determine the
commissions action. The COMMITTEES
IL composed OF Frederic "A. DelanOs
Major ri. y. Stewart. chief OF the
Forest Service: Frederic y. Oimsted
and stephen al Mather, director oK
the park service.
AN long as the commissions Or.
lection to power development at the
falls stands there II little chance
that Congress will permit such
project. If the commission with
draws its objection, however, the
way win be clear for the hydro
electric power.
Reports Considered
Two other committee reports also
will be considered by the park COM
mission next week. One. from

This is the expectation of civic and
business leaders here, and prepara-
tions are to be made accordingly.
Even without big parade or ball.
Washington can stage Il fairly good
show when it inducts a new Presi'
dent into office.
Probably a definite decision on
what Washington is to have viii not
be known until after an inaugural
chairman is appointed. 1t will be
the duty of this chairman to con-
suit with President-e.ect Hoover and
make plans in accordance with his
wishes.
In the absence of E. r. Colladay,

The Knights of the Ku Klux Khan

ETY., it seems to us. The scandalous
revelations of the workings of the
Khan in Indiana ought to cause them
to hide their heads in shame. There
is no place in the United States for
such aims and objects as they pro-
fess and carry out. The personnel
of that body parading here made a
poor impression upon the bystand-
ers, according to remarks overheard
on the sidewalks. They seemed to
have drawn their recruits from the
