DELAY IN POWER
PERMITS VOTED
House Adopts Resolution
Withholding Great Falls
Grants From Private Firms.

Under unanimous consent the House
today passed the joint resolution to
preserve for development the potential
water power and park facilities of the
gorge and Great Falls of the Potomac
River.
This emergency legislation is being
rushed through both Houses to forestall
the danger of the Federal Power Com
mission granting preferential rights
under preliminary permit to Rich
mond interests seeking the authority
for water power development at Great
Falls.
The motion to consider this resolu-
ton was made by Representative Cram
ton of Michigan. who was supported by
House Leader Tilson. Mr.. Cramton eX-
planned that the Federal Power Com
mission lacks positive orders from Con-
gress to refrain from granting any per-
NIT. He said that until careful sur
vey and study had been made as to
the extent in which power development
might interfere with the scenic beauty
of the gorge and falls, which are part
of the greater capital art and recrea-
tional development program, no action
should be allowed which might frus-
trate these plans.
The resolution is supported by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and other organizations. 1t
directs the Federal Power Commission
not to issue any permit preliminary or
final, to any private interest for the de-
velopment of water power in the Poto-
mac River between the mouth of Rock
Creek and a point four miles upstream
-A-f-
supply of Washington, until further ac-
| ton of Congress after consideration of
such joint report or separate reports
as may be made by the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission and
Federal Power Commission as to the
! best utilization of this area for the pub
| lie benefit.

Modern Ovcrzealousness

Here is how Franklin feels about
at.
Prohibition is q vast social ex-
pertinent, undertaking to standard
lie by Federal and State legislation
the personal habits of all the people
of all the States. 1t is the most
conspicuous example Of modern
overzealousness for Government
regulation of the personal habits of
the individual.
1.-The Federal government has
spent something like $150,000, 900
trying to enforce this law, has lost
or sacrificed something like $4,000
100000 in taxes and has failed to
enforce it.
Prohibition has made more ex-
pert home brewers, gin makers,
wine makers and whisky distillers
than anyone ever thought could be
possible.
Increase in Convicts
''The most disastrous result is the
effect it has had on the young. I'm

Both views were given to The

leaders.
Better Homes, Better Schools
Following are excerpts from the
Wright statement:
"'We pause to celebrate the eighth
anniversary of what to my mind is
the most constructive piece of legis-
lation that the world has ever seen
the Eighteenth amendment-the
thing that gave Us a saloonless Ma
ton and stainless flag.
1--WE have today better homes, bet
ter schools, better churches, better
economic and industrial conditions
than this country ever enjoyed I'm
der the old saloon days.
Before prohibition we spent in
this country every year over the
American saloon bar more than
$3,000,000,000 money that was worse
than wasted.

hook on the havoc wrought by the
booze traffic without being preju-
diced against it and saying that
conditions are much better because
of prohibition in the good .old
