this prominence to sell himself, as

New Jersey who was willing TO pay

willing, without exception. In the
past ten years Hague has saved
not less than s25,oO0,o0o on his SAL

HOOVER BACKS
RAIL BOSS PLAN
Govt for Boss Profits
Against Rail Workers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 331.--An at
tempt to avert a severe crash in tbs
leading railroads of the. country. and
to protect the profits OF the railroad
magnates at the expense Of the rail-
road workers, Hoover has come out
full force for the proposed merger
Of the four big Eastern lines
The whole scheme is q move to
stir up optimistic" sentiment, viaiIe
at the. same time using the govern
nent apparatus to help a cepnbine
that will result in greater nrofits to
the bosses and more unemployment
for the rail workers.
Some Of the capitalist politicians
are coming out against the merger.
Leading among these is millionaire
Senator. Couzens Of Michigan In an
attack on the plan issued by Gouze,E
Wednesday, he calls it "unethical'
because Hoover is unduly influencing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
which is supposed to pass ON the
plan. Couzens' main line of attack
is not SO much against the plan but
he is afraid the masses will see the
too close connection between Hoover
and a so-called impartial govern
ment body" on the one hand, and
the big bosses on the other.

WASHINGTON, March "a. U.p)-
A test of the United States air de-
fenses is to be made beginning this
morning, when 227 navy planss take
the air in a series of simulated bat
ties in the Caribbean Sea.
The maneuvers are considered to
have special importance this year,

of the navy's "five-year PLAN of
aerial expansion. Hundreds OF
planes have been built in that time.
and officers of the areonauticS bu-
reau insist that the United States
now can place more and better
fighting planes on the seas than any
other first class power"
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
ingalls, said that the selection of the
Caribbean was especially fortunate
for the maneuvers, as flying condi-
tions there are particularly severe,
and will give the aircraft, one of
the largest armadas ever assembled,
a thorough test.

SOURCES Of the country. Ralph p. VIII
1tama0n, vice chairman Of the Federal
Power Commission. yesterday told thu
Association Of Western States Engi-
neers, IN session here.
Diacusssng generally the subject Of
overlapping national and local govern
ment jurisdiction Mr.. Williamson told
the engineers that ''in very few
branches Of governmental activity ID the
legal or economic line Of denarcati0n
between the State and Federal control
less clearly drawn than that dealing
with the subject of the use Of water for
hydroelectrie development"
Field Of Opportunity.
'For that reason" he continued. Elm
the cooperative development Of . sat-
asfaetory legislative and administrative
machinery for protection Of the rights
Of the whole people, not alone In pre-
serving for them the natural resources
gtiil under the control Of the States or
the Federal Government. but In en-
eouraging development Of such re-
sources in their common interest"
Arguing against political bias, either
by proponents OF Federal or State con-
troll, Mr. Williamson asserted the
hydro-eiectrin industry "is neither ex-
clusively local nor exclusively national,
but II supervision is to be had, It must
be had through cooperation of both
local and national control"
In my opinion.' . he said, the uue6-
ton must be approached with the
closest cooperation between the state
commissions and the Federal agencies,
acting entirely free from the prejudices
which have grown up around the sub
5ect Of States's rights as political issue,
and, especially In the mutual confidence
that there is 10 be no undue oveEreach-
ing or selfish attempt for either 10 take
unto itself power for the purse sake Of
power.
Must Recognise Realities.
This cooperation must recognize
as its basic principle the real eco
nomic nature Of the business With
certain phases Of its operation and
national in other phases and that the
whole must be brought under some
form of complete public governmental
control and regulation which win
bring about, not only better service at
lower rates, but establish the industry
itself In such financial position that
Investment therein is safe and not
Speculative"
The speaker said Congress In the
water power act perhaps more than
IN any piece Of legislation upon It's
records upon sinailar subjects" had
sought TO safeguard the rights Of the
States. The present Power Commits
sion has no desire TO infringe upon the
province Of the States, he added.
The water power industry study
which the commission now has in
progress was described By the speaker
