POWER RATE RULE
WANTED FOR DAM
House Committee Urged to
Fix Profit for Boulder
Canyon Project.

By the Associated Press.
Guarantee of moderate rates tn
consumers OF power that would be
generated at the proposed Boulder
t'anyon Dam was advocated before
the House irrigation committee yes
terday by Julius Henry Cohen, gen.
eral counsel for the Port of New
York authority. with the suggestion
that the Swing johnson plan he
modified in favor Of financing
proposition that would cost the Fed .
eral Government or the States in
terpsted nothing.
Under present provisions. he said,
priyate operators Of the power unit
could collect as much as 100 per
cent profit from consumers. To pre-.
won't this Cohen suggested that any
Enulder Canyon bill should include
the principle that profit from sale
of power must be requested by con-
tract between the constructing
agency and the private operators.
Wants Board Established.
Cohen suggested establishment ot
a colorado River authority. similar
in some respects to the Port OF New
York authority. through which the
seyen Colorado River basic states
would co operate to finance the prof.
ect bv public bond Issue. This plan
10 embodied in the bill sponsored by
REPRESENTATIVE Davenport. Repub-
ucan. New York. which previously
had not been considered by the irri-
cation committee. but today provided
The focal point of interest at the
hearing.
Leaving the fixing Of power rates
to the regulatory process. as IN the
Swing johnson bill. does not protect
the consumers interest. In Coneh
opjnion. He said that as soon as proJ.
Gets like Boulder Dam are controlled
by private operators. under supreme
court decisions regarding returns that
can he legally obtained, there Is not
sufficient guarantee OF protection to
the consumer.
Wants Profit Fixed.
His suggestion was that the Federal
Government or any construction
agency should retain by contract the
right TO say how much profit can be
gained by the operating agency on its
Capital investment and the right to
set the amount of capital investment.
This plan. he added. was successful In
connection with the port of New York
authority and has been approves by
such economists as Owen ID. Young.
Concluding his testimony. Mr.. Cohen
described the Swing bill To the com.
mittee as IAN invitation to litigation
that doesn't get anywhere" The sew.
eral states, he said. should be forced
to come to an agreement under pres
sure brought to hear by the Federal
Government. instead of through lit,ga.

By a s,ar Correspondent Of The star.
COURT HOUSE. Arlington County,
Va. January THE Arlington
County Incorporation bill. providing
for referendum on the proposition
70 make the county a corporate city
of the first class. will be introduced In
the forthcoming general assembly
by Hugh Reid. Arlington County,
new delegate To the legislature.
The bill. when introduced in the
last legislature by State Senator
Frank l.. Ball. proved to he bone
of contention during the hectic last
days vt the legislative session Passed
by the Senate. 1t was killed when 1t
reached the House. due to the oppo.
sition OF the former Arlington County
delegate. Charles T. Jesse.
Announcement of his intention Of
Introducing the bill. although he is
personally opposed to Incorporation.
was made tonight by Mr.. Reid. when
informed that letter on the subject
had heen written to him by l.. c.
McNemar of the Better Government
Commission. The letter. 1t was under
stocd. reminded Mr. Reid of his cam
paign promise to sponsor the bin and

II have not received the letter,
Mr.. Reid said. but l will say that
l intend 10 keep by pledge to the
voters. I will introduce the bill. al
though | am personally not in favor
Of incorpora ting Arlington County
at the present time. The bill does

ever. but for an election i'm which
the voters may decide the question
themselves"
Senator Ball. when questioned
about MIR. McNemar's letter. said
he had received none. He refused
TO comment on ii. Senator Ball also
is known TO oppose incorporation.
and he so stated 1T the time of in
Producing the enabling bill last year.
What effect the revival of agita-
tion over incorporation of the coun-
~ would have on the annexation
proceedings already begun by Alex
sndria was a matter of conjecture
in the county tonight. Some OF
those connected with the trial were
of the opinion that it would serious
ly affect Arlington County's case,
now before the court.
= Aimed at Alexandria.
The bill. as introduced last year.
was aimed directly al Alexandria, =
annexation movement. ard would
have served as an indirect method
Of preventing Alexandria from extend.
ing its boundaries into Arlington
County. Whether the new bin will
contain similar provisions designed to
prevent. annexation could not be
learned.
That Alexandria fears legislative
Interference" with the present an.
nexation proceedings was brought out
IN unmistakable terms by counsel for
the city at the opening of the trial
here several weeks ago. At that time
the attorneys opposed any delay In
the trial. on the grounds that Airing
ton County was merely seeking TO
hold of the trial until the Legislature
could meet and consider the question.
The court replied that the annex
alton question was being heard not
by the Legislature. but by the court.

other forum did would have no bear

i. s. MARINES SEND
ANIMALS TO zoo
Collection Received From
Nicaragua Includes Many
Rare Specimens.

Approximately 1870 animals captured
by United States Marines in Nicaragua
arrived at the National Geological Park
yesterday.
These animals. ranging from gaudy-
hued parrots to wildcats, constitute the
largest addition to the collection since
the return of the Smithsonian -Chrysler
expedition two years ago, and are de-
scribed by Dr. William M. Mann, di-
rector of the Zoo, as fair cross-section
of the entire fauna Of Central America.
Many Were Pets.
Many of them were kept for a time
as pets of members of the Marine con-
tingent. They were gathered together
and shipped to Washington by Lieut..
H. c. Kellers, medical officer of the
expedition. Notable among them are
Is spider monkeys, representing several
subspecies and differing greatly in age,
color and size.
The shipment includes one variety of
parrot which probably never has been
in captivity before and which bird ex-
perts were unable to identify yesterday.
It is small green bird with brownish-
red collar. There is one specimen each
of the extremely rare crab-eating rae
coon and the muriel opossum. The
crab-eating raccoon is the only member
of this large family which makes its
home on beaches and feeds on cruS-
taceanS. It is considered by biologists
as one of the finest examples of Spe-
cieS forced by necessity to form new
habits, which are passed on to successive
generations. The muriel opossum is a
dwarf marsupial, distinguished from
other members of this family by its
short, smooth fur.
ParakeetS Included.
The shipment contained go brightly
colored parakeets, Is parrots, opos-
sums, coatamundis, q marguay cat,
a kinkajou, several tropical raccoons, a
troupial. a Central American galnnule
and several cages of other birds
The coatamundi. collection is particu-
larly notable and it is planned to de-
vote a large cage to the exhibit of these
curious long-nosed animals, which are
relatives of both the raccoonS and the
bears. The animals have been on the
way for about a week. They were
shipped to Washington by boat from
Norfolk.
In addition, the Zoo has received dur
ing the past few days from c. F. Ter
hume of the Alaska Game Commission
a pair of Sitka deer, the smallest OF
the blacktalled deer.
Tame Birds Bought.
DR.. Mann has purchased for the bird
collection two pairs of South American
trumpeters probably the tamest of all
wild birds. They are kept among the
domestic fowl in Brazil.
A curiosity added to the new bird
house is a momot, tropical bird, dis
tinguished by two long, bare tail feath-
ers. each with tuft at the end.
Another notable addition to the COL
lection is greater kudu, the largest
of the African antelopes.
