new RIVER POWER
PROPOSAL SCORED
Popular Government League
Demands Federal Body
Take Full Control.

The Federal Power Commission today
was confronted with another demand
that it assume full control over the
Appalachian Electric Power Co.'S pro-
posed 100000 development on the
New River at Radford, Va, the conten-
ton being advanced in a'brief filed on
behalf of the National Popular Govern
ment League by Judson King, director.
In taking this stand, the league lines
up with Gov. Clifford Pinchot of Penn
sylvaria and against the Appalachian
Co., which has fought full Government
control. The company is supported by
the States of Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Arkansas and Tennessee.
Holds Proposal Unfair.
The company and States argued that
the commissions jurisdiction could ex-
tend only to protecting navigation on
the Kanawha River, into which the
New River discharges.
King contended the license sought by
the Appalachian Co. was lin gross vio-
lation of the letter and spirit OF the
Federal water-power act and constl-
tutes an attempt to set precedent ad-
verse to the interests of the people OF
Virginia and the entire United States.
Imitation Forecast.
"a standard major license 1or the
use of this enormously valuable prop
erty will yield to this company every
financial advantage to which it is en-
titled in justice and in law he added.
Under it the trust cannot lawfully
impose upon the project millions of
dollars of inflated securities on which
the people must pay dividends for half
q century and then be included in the
price which the Federal Government or
the State of Virginia must pay to re-
capture their own property"

! HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March g.
Movieland, city of quick ups and quicker
downs, has skyrocketed Roland Brown
to the top from the very bottom.
Less than five years ago Brown was
throwing wood into the incinerator of
the Fox lot for 81 day.
Today he is author director at the
same studio of motion picture that,
to say the least, is making his CO.
workers envious. And he's in the big
dough" on account of 1t.
He was in the Navy at Is (he's only
| 80 now. After the war he was pro-
fessional ball player, fashion artist, a
newspaper man, professional boxer and
cabaret owner. AS Whitley" Ross, he
won some fights and lost some; once he
was a sparring partner for Jack Demp-
sey.
Failure in Many Things.
Brown came here, he said, after he
had failed at everything else and be-
cause he looked upon Hollywood as the
best place to begin all over. From
custodianShip of an incinerator he
went to the property department and
then became second assistant director

him; but he doesn't remember their
names; they were that unimportant.
Brown had written story about
gangster life containing information he
had gained at first hand. He was Ill in
hospital here and needed money to
pay his bill. He sent the story to War
ner Bros. and it was purchased for
81, 500.
The story, since filmed under the
title 1.-THE Doorway to HELL" not only
made movie history, but lot of money
as well. It is directly responsible for
the current underworld film vogue. 1t
was the turning point in Browns
career.
He accepted the first offer that came
to him: one of them from the Fox Studio
to write another gangSter yarn. His re-
quest TO direct it was granted.
Denies Genius Exists.
@raen it was suggested genius must
eventually assert itself, Brown coun-
tered: There's no such animal as
genius In Hollywood. A real genius
wouldn't last two days in this business.
It's strictly a commercial art, and good
pictures, without exception, are acct
dents.

BOWLES CASE JURY

Officer Expected to Identify Knife
in Murder Trial Of Man

HILLSBORO, Greg, March o.
Three Portland detectives were called
today to testify against Nelson G.
Bowles, Portland capitalist, and his
former secretary, Irrna G. Loucks,
charged with the murder of the formers
wife Leone C. Bowles.
One of these, William A. Williams,
was expected to identify a saw-toothed
bread knife believed to have been used
to infiict the stab wound which killed
Mrs. Bowles in the Portland apartment
of Miss Loucks last Fall.
The State also planned to introduce
as evidence the clothes Mrs. Bowles
wore when she died.
It was considered possible one of
the two alternate jurors might be called
on for active service as result Of
the illness of Francis Nibler, one of
the regular jurors. Nib1er was stricken
with influenza during the week end.
