SAYS:
"The Best Opinion I Can
Get Is That Hoover Is
More Likely to Carry
Tennessee Than Smith,"

Y knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 21.-
N Herbert Hoover is in for pub
lie quizzing when he comes to Eliza
bethton Oct. 6, if the Knox County
Women's Democratic Club has its
way. The idea grew out of an adj
dress delivered by Mrs. L. D. Tyson,
to the organization on Thursday.
Smith has been heckled, and has
had questions hurled at him." she
said, land think the same ques-
tons should be put up to Hoover"
After the meeting, Mrs. James M.
Trimble, chairman of the club, said
that committee would be appoint
ed to formulate the questions and
present them.
Meanwhile, Senator Tyson is try
ing to get Governor Smith to make
a short talk in Knoxville when he
comes South.
There is no hope Of a meeting in
this city because it lacks an audi
forum of sufficient size. but the
Senator thinks that it would do no
harm for Governor Smith to pause
and shake hands with his many ad-
mirerS.

Organized Banditry

While police departments are trying to cope with
bandit system imported from the Old World, Uncle
Sam might help some by dealing himself hand in
the game. If our immigration laws haven't teeth

backhanders out of our system, Congress might as
well get busy on big dental job.

THE expert always plays card
l. with definite purpose in view
whereas the novice often plays
without a specific plan and with
out anticipating the possible re-
suit.
The different result brought
about by careful calculation in
preference to hit or miss methods
is illustrated in the play of the fol-
lowing hands, the declaration being
no trump.

AS soon as the dummy is ex-
posed, the declarer plans his cam
paign. His aim is to make game.
He must take with the King of
hearts on the first round or he will
lose that card.
He now observes that he is sure
of making the following additional
tricks; two in spades, one in clubs
and possibly five in diamonds.
Added to his heart trick, this would
insure game.
If the declarer leads the King
Of diamonds he endangers the pos
sibility Of making game '7ecause If

win a trick!
The proper way to play is to lead
a small diamond from the de-
clarer's hand and take it with the
Queen Of diamonds in ghe dummy.
Then the declarer lows whether
the distribution of the cards is
normal or abnormal.
Having retained an honor higher
than the Jack of diamonds in each
hand, he may play either way as
necessary to prevent opponents from
m aking the Jack of diamonds good.
There is nothing uncanny about
this method. All that is required
is serious determination, on your

Cove Creek Dam

Say what you will, but interest in
politics Is overshadowed by that in
local development.
The peoples in this section are
particularly interested in water pow
er and more particularly still in the
Cove Greek dam. I went to Cove
Creek Thursday, stood beside the
Clinch River and tried to imagine
how the canyon would lok if a con-
crete wall 225 feet high had been
thrown across it, with O lake not
only filling the principal gorge for
seventy-f1ve or eighty miles, but
flowing back into the lon, narrow
ravines on either side and convert
ting the hills into capes, peninsu-
las and islands.
Some things are beyond imagA-
nation. The Cove Creek dam ia
one. You have to go to mathe-
MATES and blueprints to get an
idea of what it means.
AS to the idea of this beautiful
landscape being transformed into
a source of energy that would light
great cities, heat homes and supply
power for hundreds CT factories, it is
incomprehensible unless translated
through figures.

Swing to Hoover

There is far less political excite
ment here thao one would expect.
For four days, I have been trying
to get line on the situation but
with poor success. No one seems to
know what is taking place. While
there IS said to be plenty of interest
under the surface it fails to mani
fest itself in conversation.
I have talked with hundreds of
people and listened to the talk Of
hundreds more in restaurants, hotel
lobbies and other places. Only one
has approached the subject of poll
tics voluntarily. AS for the "whis-
pering campaign" it has not ma
terialized thus far.
People tell me that there Is a
definite detection of Democrats to
Hoover, especially women. When
it comes to the percentage, they adj
nit that one guess is as good as
another.
The best opinion can get Is that
eastern Tennessee will roll up an
unusually large Republican vote,
and that, as things now stand,
Hoover is more likely to carry the
State than Smith.

Reason

TINE one hundred forty-first
4 birthday of our Federal Con-,
-stitution was very generally, yet
very informally observed by the
people.
One large cluster of them cele-
brated the happy event by seeking
to nullify the Eighteenth Amend
ment by wet legislation and another
large cluster celebrated by seeking
to nullify Article Six, which pro-
vides that mo religious test shall
ever be required as a, qualification
to Office or public trust under the

1t is interesting to note that those
who complain of the proposed multi
fication of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, propose to nullify, Article Six,
while those who complain of the
proposed notification Of Article Six,
propose to nullify the Eighteenth
Amendment.

Fayors U, S, Control

Small wonder that the people of
east Tennessee are thrilled with the
possibilities of Cove Greek and al
lied power projects that they visual
lie development of the Tennessee
basin as the biggest thing in sight.
Small wonder that their thoughts
are riveted to the undertaking, even
though a national campaign is in
progress, and that their interest is
conferred on its completion.
They have passed the stage of
dreaming dreams. Their visions are
based on the report of Government
engineers. They are building, not
on vague hopes, but on expert call
culations. y
Other things being equal, they
prefer that Uncle Sam would do
the work What they want most,
however, is for the work to start.
Like most other people, they feel
that the United States Government
should retain control of the power
sites at least. Beyond that, their

Government construction of the
dams and reservoirs, and some
want Government operation. Others
would be satisfied with leases con-
tanning regulatory provisions.
My own opinion is that vast and
well-organized as our power inter
ests have become, they are still in
adequate to handle such a stipend
Gus enterprise, that the Govern
ment should not only establish
permanent control of the power
sites but should construct the ini-
tial dams at least. There is too
much at stake to trust any other
course
Nothing should be spared to fhake
these gigantic projects safe, and
nothing should be spared to protect
the people who will be dependent
on them from the tyrannies OF
monopoly.

Recreation Lake

Cove Greek is one of the greatest
single power projects ever conceived
It's real Importance, however, lies in
It's regulating effect on the lower
Tennessee. 1t would increase the
capacity of each of the 100 dam
sites on streams below it, including
Muscle Shoals. AS a commercial
asse, it is worth ten Teapot Domes.
AS a guarantee of improved living
conditions, it is Of incalcuIable value.
Outside of the 100000 horse
power the Cove Creek Dam would
generate. and outside of the even
greater amount it would enable
other dams to generate, it would
create one of the most beautiful
mountain lakes ia America, not only
making work forSpeople, but afford
ing them a wonderful opportunity
for recreation.
