laws than hquor-control plan.
Scarcely had the liquor bills been
disposed OF when the Republicans
themselves pushed forward key bills
OF a social program on which the Re-
publican Old Guard of the State for
years had turned thumbs down. The
Democrats, pledged to such bills. were
committed to vote for the measures bv
which the Republicans sought to steal
the Democratic thunder for the an
preaching campaign.
By vote of 168 to the House of
Representatives adopted a minimum
wage law for women and children,
creating boards of employers and en-
ployes to fix standard rates for in
dustries. Then, without dissent, it
adopted bill for payment by the State
dlgent citizens more than 10 years old,
and another appropriating $1,000, 900
from State liquor store profits to
nnance the old-age payments for the
u months starting next June l. All
these were administration bills, and, to
make the victory complete, another
old-age assistance plan, not of admin
lstration origin. was defeated soundly.

PROBLEMS
ROUSE TENNESSEE
Knoxville Uncertain as to
Municipal Plant, With
T. v. A. Policy in Balance.
BY THOMAS FAUNTLEROY.

Special Dispatch to The Star
MEMPHIS, Tenn, December 9.-An
entirely new angle to the $4,000. 900
Muscle Shoals development arose this
week with the report that the city of
Knoxville, which by a vote of 2 to
authorized a municipal power plant,
may never press its claim for the
money before the Tennessee Advisory
Board of the Public Works Admins
tration. No official statement has been
made, and the board is now merely on
notice that application will be made.
The turn of events does not mean
that Knoxville does not expect to use
Muscle Shoals power, now that the
people have voted for it after an un-
that the policy of the Tennessee VAL
ley development may be changed al
together.
Basis of Knoxville Hopes.
Report has it that Knoxville is basing
its hopes for power at Tennessee VAL
ley Authority rates on the suggestion
that the T. v. A. may find in existing
laws the right to seek nsxt month
congressional authority tc<put por-
ton of its funds in the purchase or
O1 uldJOL ClCCtllCdl 0AStlA-
button centers. If this is done. then
Knoxville would not have to 60 through
with its expenditure of $2,250,0 for
a miifiicipafiy owned power and light
plant.
The report revives one of the origi-
nal points of the controversy between
Col. Harry S. Berry, former p. w. A.
engineer for Tennessee, after he made
public supposedly confidential piece
of information to the effect that the
P. w. A. was not inclined to look with
favor on applications for Federal loans
to build municipal power plants. Sec
retary Ickes removed Col. Berry and
denied that such was the policy of the
administration.
Approval in Question.
This, and the fact that Knoxville
authorities are not pressing the matter,
leads to the belief the State Advisory
Board of the P. w. A. might refuse to
approve the loan. George H. Wells,
the temporary successor to Col. Berry,
says that nobody has acted yet on the
application. The fact Is that the ap-
plication has not been filed, the actual
status being that Knoxville has merely
put the board on notice that it will be

PROVIDENCE, r. l., December g.
Gov. Green struck at the critics who
are "yapping at the President" and
claimed that N. r. A. had put $4,000
men to work in this State and increased
pay rolls S9,000,000.
Utah gave the nod on Tuesday, and
liquor began to flow freely here under
control of the law drafted last April.
Trucks rushed supply here at the start
of the week under special permit from
Washington, and the State Liquor Com
mission facilitated the transfer to deal
ers so that Rhode Island was ready to
celebrate the end Of the amendment
which 1t never ratified. Prices were
high, with American rye at $3.50 and
Scotch at $685..

Evening star., 1933-12-10

The retail sales during the Christmas
shopping period are being watched here
somewhat as a barometer to the gen.
eral condition in this district, and the
best opinion now available is that the
reaction will be good. There is no pos
sible way of finding out the exact num-
Der of persons who have been re-em-
ployed here since the N R. A. went into
effect, but it is certain that, despite
many chiseling employers. the number
is large. Also, it is apparent that the
element of fear, which in 1881 and 1882
caused many employed persons to
hoard their money because of the dan
ger that they soon might lose their
jobs. has to a large extent been BAN
ished.
Buying Power Higher.
The fact that 100000 persons, who
heretofore have been able hardly to
exist, now are receiving from SIS to $50
a week is positive evidence that buying
power in this section will be on the up
grade during the near future. Under
the Civil Works Administrations activi-
ties. nearly SIS 10000 will be paid to
workers here curing the next three
months. This will mean rise in pur-
chasing power Of almost exactly that
sum, since other trelief expenditures
have not been reduced. Most of the
money that formerly went for work re-
lief-then paid by the city. State and
Federal Government-now is being eX-
pended for home relief.
At least 10000 persons will be given
work. directly or indirectly, during the
next few weeks when actual work on
the Midtown Tunnel from Thirty ninth
street, Manhattan, under the Hudson
River to Weehawken, N. j., is started.
This project, one of the largest ap-
proved by the Public Works Admins
tration, will cost a total of $37.500, 600
and will require approximately three
years to complete. The tube will have
capacity of 6,500,000 vehicles a year
and in some ways will be larger than

gigantic project, and some of the initial

CIGARETTES NOT TO BE ADVANCED
Manufacturers Make An. nouncement Because
 of Brief MIRA Clause

NEW YORK, Sept. 19-A brief paragraph inserted into the NRA code, recently accepted by the to- bacco industry, is believed in Wall Street to have ended the threat of drastically higher prices for cigarette smokers at least for the time being.
 The good news for the greatest cigarette smoking nation-consum ing 12O,0OO0OO,OOO flags" annually was, the, pledge by the industry not to increase the wholesale price this year beyond the actual in- crease in the cost of production brought about by the code or the action of the Agricultural Adjust ment Act.
 There have been recurring ru- mors in recent months that cigar cite manufacturers, especially the big four" of the industry, were considering price rises to offset the reductions effected early in the year It was estimated that two successive price slashes of 85c and soc a thousand, announced early this year on popular brands to meet the competition 10c pack ages, cost the manufacturers- American, Reynolds, Liggett and Meyers and LDrillard Companies- an aggregate loss in revenue of $100,00O, 900.
 The companies pledged them selves, under the code, to give full weight to probable increases In sales volume and to refrain from profiteering. This was interpret ed in Wall Street to mean that present prices would be little al tered if any, during the rest of the calendar year.
