Editor Times:
The final decision Of the House
to postpone action upon the Nor
ris Muscle Shoals measure at this
session Of Congress is character
istic Of the dilly-dallying policy Of
Congress with respect to this
project ever since the World War.
The supporters Of government
ownership and operation Of the
power on the Shoals appear to be
strong enough to prevent the pas
sage Of any legislation dictated
by the power trust. Neverthe-
less, they cannot fight the en-
trenched administration forces In
the House, in control Of the entire
parliamentary machinery. Not

Editor, Times:
It certainly seems pity that q
young lady can not walk on some
of the streets of washington,
unescorted, without some fresh
fellow, who has an automobile,
trying to pick her up.
It just happens to be my luck,
several nights a week, to walk up
Sixth Street Northwest, from
Pennsylvania Avenue to E Street,
about 10 o'clock, and I don't be-
lieye I have ever walked this short
distance without some fellow stop
ping his car and trying to pick
me up-and they are persistent
too, maybe stopping two or three
times in less than 2 blocks. I
wish there might be a law,
whereby a young lady could carry
a gun, or some manner of pro-
lection.
Just because q fellow has a
car is no sign he can have his
choice of women, who through
necessity must walk unescorted.
I wish someone would suggest a
satisfactory method for putting
these men in their place.

ago, will there be any real pros
pect of getting the Norris bill
through Congress.
It is significant that the Senate
has twice passed this measure.
The House has also passed 1t, but
only on the definite assurance
that former President Coolidge
would veto it. The House leaders
apparently do not know what
President Hoover would do with
it if it were sent to him now,
and are not taking any chances.
OF course, there Is every prospect
that Hoover would "black.balP' it
also, because he is definitely set
against putting the Federal Gov
ernment into business.
The political tide is running so
strongly against the power trust" !"
however, that I have no doubt
that President Hoover will be
forced to modht his present atti-
tude towards Government opera
ton of water-power projects. If
he does not, he will find himself
entirely out of the trend Of public
opinion and his political fate will
be Sealed.-TUPELO.

MILLETT ATTACKS FARM LEGISLATION
Says Marketing Act Economic
 ally Unsound in Theory

Washington, April 30 LP-Thc federal farm board and the agricul- tural marketing act were attacked as part of "a fantastic dream of stabilization," and the repeal of the act was urged today by Daniel A. Millett, Denver stockman and bank CT, in addressing the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The program for the day, also in cluded speech by Alexander H. Legge, chairman of the farm board
 The law creating the board, Mil lett said. violates in it's intent and purpose the sound and proven rule of business that penalty or loss must rest on the loser.' This !se termed an ever present controlling factor | tending to promote efficiency.
 Market Men Fear Act
 "Thc men in the great marketing and distributing businesses of this country with their enormous invest ments of capital, in plant and organ- l ization, properly fear the workings ] Ol tlilN tlNt iI' tpll llllNtu. IL IS tN ident that in the long run they can | not compete with their government. which they support and supply with i funds through taXes-which taxes are used to their undoing."
 Millett said that he assumed through his address the inefficiency | of government operation of business in this country" He described the functions of the farm board as ap- piled to agriculture as practically limtless.'
 The board becomes, he said, "thc adviser, the banker, the builder buyer and marketer for agriculture: and it may well finally become the dictator"
 Attacks Crop Reduction
 The Denver banker attacked again and again the crop reduction stand taken by the board. He asserted it was recognition by the board of the doctrine of scarcity" which would make combination effective through the control of production. "Thc decreased production put into effect under the marketing act" he said, virtually nullities the agricul- turo financing acts, and the work Of the department of agriculture, for the last half century.
 "The department of agriculture has with great ability and pcrsc- verencc for 50 years instructed farmers in methods of increasing production 10 the end that the unit cost of production might be reduced. That's sound.
 What glaring inconsistency 10 set up at the cost of taxpayers ono set Of government institutions 10 in crease agricultural production, and lessen it's cost, and then turn around and set up another galaxy of gov crnment institutions to increase the price of them thereby created sur plus and to limit it's production"
 More Combines Needed
 Millett asserted that what the bus mess interests of the United States need is mot more combination, in cluding farmers, but less intcrfcr- once with the law ot economic sup ply and demand, functioning through price, He said adherence to this law was the "only sure. in evitable, sound scientific method of eliminating the marginal producer"
 He said he did not wish to criti- cizc the individual members of tho farm board. They have in no way, he added. gone beyond the provi- sons of the act under which their organization was established.
