 Named Nigel Sharpe

Wimbledon, Eng, June 22.-(UP) Henri Cochet of France, general ly regarded as the finest player in the world, was eliminated from the English tennis championships to- day in the first round by Nigel Sharpe of Englaind, 6-1, 6-3, 6-2.
 Cochet's defeat by Sharpe, so lit- tie known that he is not even listed in the Who's Who in English Ten mis-" came as a stunning surprise. The Frenchman, despite his recent illness which prevented his appear ance in the French hard court championships, ruled a favorite to win the singles title.
 Cochet's loss would indicate that he still is suffering from the eff fects of his illness and may not be in condition for the Davis cup matches late in July. With Co., chet on the sidelines or off form France will be hard-pressed to de- fend the cup it won in 1927.

Of convict labor in construction
Of the Lee Boulevard, Supervisor
B. M. Hedrick, of Arlington

"The board Of supervisors Of

ginia. In response to this -
quest, the Department of High

ing convict labor for the initial
grading operations.
100 To Be Employed
"WhiIe it is true that 100 con-
victs will replace q like number
Of free labOrers, the balance Of

SENATE TO ACT
AT ONCE ON
SHOALS
Hoover Veto on Measure Held
Certain by Foes; New Fight
Over Leasing of Big Plant

President Hoover today holds
the key to a final settlement of
the 10-year controversy over
Muscle Shoals.
The House having passed the
compromise Norris bill by a 'ote
of 216 to 1888, the Senate was
certain to approve the measure
ane send it to the President for
approval or veto.
A veto is expected by the bitter
opponents of the measure, which
gives the President authority to
lease the $125,OOO,OOO nitrate
hydrOelectric power project, but
provides for Government owner.
ship IL the leasing effort fails.
May Get Pocket Veto
The vote in the House indi-
Gated an effort to pass the
measure over a Presidential veto
would fail, and the fight would
then be injected into the next
Congress and perhaps into the
1882 Presidential campaign.
Should the President resort to
pocket veto, the measure will die,
automatically on March 4, unless
a special session of Congress is
called.
The House decision was ac-
claimed by assailants of the
power trust" as a victory.
Since the House has in the
past consistently opposed the ef.
forts of the Senate to provide
for Government operation Of the
Alabama project.
Feelins Divided Sharply
While Representative WurZbach
(R.) Of Texas, who presented the
conference report, declared the
President could lease Muscle
Shoals for fertilizer manufacturer,
opponents said any leasing effort
would fail. The Government then
would be committed to building
of transmission lines and sale Of
power throughout the South.
Virtually all of the staunch
Administration Republicans op-
posed the conference report in
the House.
There was a noticeable weak
ening in the nti-Government
ownership lineup, however. Many
members Of the Western farm
bloc" Democrats from New York
and other cities, and some other
Republicans Joined with the
Southern Democrats to approve
the measure.
The "Al Smith Democrats
from New York and New Eng
land, committed to his power
trust" stand, voted sOlidly for
the measure.
$5O,OOO,OOO Dam Item
Under the bill, building of the
$50, 100000 Cove Creek dam in
Tennessee is provided.
Alabama and Tennessee would
receive a part of the profits OF
Government ownership to make
up for their loss in taxes.
The House sent the bill to the
Senate today, and an effort will
be made to dispose of the meas
ure before night.
