NAVAL COURT TO
VISIT SCENE OF
SUB DISASTER

BOS-NON, Jan. II (F) = The naval
court of inquiry investigating the Sd
disaster tomorrow will inspect the
spot where the submarine went down
on December II, off Provincetown, in
collision with the coast guard destroy
er Paulding.
After hearing three witnesses today,
the court adjourned without setting a
definite date for renewal of the hear
ing Rear Admiral Richard H. Jack
son, president of the court, said to-
morrow would be devoted to inspecting
the scene of the collision.
The purpose of the trip is to re-
construct on the scene the circum-
stances of the collision as nearly as
possible When the hearing is resum-
ed submarine officers will be heard
One of them, Lieutenant Frank L.
Worden, commander of the SO, sister
ship of the S-4, already has testified
before the court.
Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, COM
mandante of the first naval district,
was on the stand most of the day and
covered wide range in his testimony
He pictured to the court how in the
hours that followed the collision the
details of the story were pieced to-
geeher gradually from radio messages
from naval and coast guard ships, and
how every effort was made to mobilize
a rescue fleet from the navy yards at
Boston, Portsmouth, N. H., New Lon
don, Conn, and Brooklyn, N, Y.
The routine OF navy procedure was
shattered, Admiral Andrews said, to
meet the emergency, and he paid
tribute to the spirit OF cooperation
shown by the naval personnel and
civilian transportation systems in
placing in motion the machinery OF
rescue.

FIERY VOLCANO
IN HAW All is
AGAIN

HILO, r. H, Jan. IL P-The huge
fire pit of Kilauea, worlds largest
active volcano. gA<Ved again today.
It's smouldering fire, said natives, was
stirred by the goddess Pelee, who
longer than mans memory holds has
vented her anger upon humankind
by periodic rain OF fire and rock
from the many volcanoes of Hawaii.
Fiery cracks appeared in the floor
of the Halemaumau pit, 800 feet below
the crater rim. One OF these appeared
to take the form of huge alligator
with bill x,ing fiery eye; another
formed the outline OF Oahu Island
Huge avalanches occurred as the sides
.crumbled inward with rumbling
noise, but there was little movement
OF lava.
The activity continued an hour.
1t demonstrated, said Professor
Thomas A. Jaggar, that lava lies
beneath the floor of the pit and that
the floor is only a few feet in
thickness.
DR.. Jaggar, who, as government
volcanologist, has studied the volcano
since 1911, said that its present
activity was a continuation OF the
cycle begun IN 1924 when Kilauea
erupted. The next activity is expected
in about three months, provided
Mauna Lea, thousands Of feet higher
on the same mountain, does not
erupt and drain the lava from
Kilauea This is improbable.
Intermittent activities, growing more
intense, but decreasing at intervals
may be expected. said Jaggar. Major
eruptlons and flows OF lava should
appear in the early thirties, since
the cycle is of nine years duration.

MONOPOLY DOES
NOT DOMINATE
ELECTRIC COS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL (P-Re-
porting to the senate toGay on its
investigation OF electric equipment
manufacturing in the United States,
the federal trade commission said it
had found no evidence that any
company, or group OF companies, had
attempted monopoly.
Small manufacturers informed the
commission, the report said, that
while the large companies undoubt-
edly have the power to crush them
by price competition, this power had
not been used in recent years.
The commission reported, however,
that certain small manufacturers OF
fractional horsepower motors had
complained that in recent years
prices had been reduced to levels
at which they have been unable to
compete.
The report is the second and con-
cluding document prepared in re-
sponse to a senate resolution adopted
at the second session OF the 68th
congress. The first volume, sub
mitted last February, dealt primarily
with the organization, control and
ownership OF commercial power COM
panies with special reference to the
extent OF control exercised by the
General Electric company.
The report made public said that
the General Electric's output in re-
cent years had represented from l6
to 20 per cent OF the total value OF
electrical equipment manufactured in
the United States with the percentage
averaging even higher for the more
important units OF electric power
equipment.
The General Electric, westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing company
and the Allis ChMmers Manufacturing
company, the commission said, dom
mate the trade in electrical equip
ment.
1.-THE general opinion among many
of the small manufacturers called
upon,'' the report declared, "was that
the General Electric and Westing.
house companies dominate the trade
chiefly because OF their financial re-
sources, country wide distribution and
service organizations and control OF
many. OF the largest wholesalers.
There was some complaint OF oppres-
sive patent litigation but no sub
stantial evidence had been obtained
on this point
The commission called attention to
the growing movement OF power
across state lines and the consolida-
ton of large power units into super
power" systems for which there is no
present provision for federal regula-
tiorlS
The organizations OF holding COM
panies to control this movement OF
power, the commission pointed out,
gives the opportunity for unchecked
speculative pyramiding OF holding
company structures and it has been
exploited by the sale to the public
of large volume of holding company
securities based or; their equity in
what has been described as "the
control OF the control'' OF the operat-
ing properties.

our people from the crushing tax
burden" he contended, "is additional

river is an additional source of rev.
enue to our state and we want it
developed in progressive, rather

He explained that in his opinion
the bill violates the principal OF
state sovereignty in ignoring certain
rights of states to accomplish a de-
sired result.
'That is" he continued, "the fed
er.al government is to enter the state
of Arizona and appropriate one Of

He added that Utah was. directly

UTAH PRESENTS
CONGRESS WITH
RIVER CLAIMS

WASHINGTON Jan. IL R-The
claims OF Utah to its share of the
waters OF the Colorado river were
presented to the house irrigation
committee considering the Swing
Johnson Boulder canyon dam bill
today by Governor George H. Dern.
Appearing before the committee to
register an official protest against
the proposed measure, the Utah gov
ernor after specifying his grounds of
opposition, outlined the requirements
of his state in settlement OF the
problem.
Dern demanded a seven state
ratification OF the Santa Fe COM
pact, an acknowledgement that water
within state is the property OF
the state. He also insisted upon a
treaty with Mexico preserving to the
United States the rights to any water
of the Colorado river made available
through development iii the United
States, including equitable rights to
the natural flow.
The federal government, he de-
clared, should acknowledge that the
state OF Utah is the owner OF that
portion OF the bed of the Colorado
river which lies within its borders.
The governor also urged full acknowl-
edgement that the states have the
right to demand and receive COM
pensation for use of their lands and
waters,
Asserting that he came in an
executive capacity representing the
official views OF his state, Governor
Dern pronounced himself firmly OPP
posed to the Boulder canyon measure
pending before the committee.
He declared that Utah's claims did
net conflict with the legitimate claims
of any sister states, but on the
contrary had been Fundamentally
endorsed by the states represented
at the Denver conference with the
single exception Of California.
The question involved, Mr.. Dern
insisted, is not whether the federal
government has the right to dispose
as it pleased of its own property, but
whether it has the right TO do as
it desired with the property of the
states.
I'VE assert that the western states
have jurisdiction over their streams, :
he added, 'and that the federal
government neither owns nor has the
right TO- control any OF our streams
whether navigable or unnavigable,
and, unless invited to do so, has no
authority 20 do anything on our rivers
except to Z regulate navigation for
interstate commerce, or to fulfill
international obligations"
There is school of thought, he
said that wants to run everything
from washington and rob states OF
all their vitality. To my mind, that
is a very dangerous doctrine. IT we
are going to have any regard for our
constitutional government we must
not say that because certain things
ought to be done and states cannot
dc it, then it ought to be done by
the federal government. That an
initiates constitutional limitations
and leads to arbitrary power which
we all despise."
