THREAT TO BASIN
PROJECT IS SEEN
Full Possibilities Feared
Menaced by Speculative
Interests.

Speculative interests threaten to pre-
vent the full possibilities Of the Ten
nessee River Basin program from being
realized, the National Land Use Plan
ming Committee, Department of Agri-
culture, warned in a statement issued
today.
Attempts doubtless will be made"
said the committee, Ito exploit Specu-
latively the benefits of the program, par
ticularly through control of areas of
major value for urban. industrial or
other important uses. Such tendencies
should be checked by suitable regulation
ana control"
The Tennessee River Basin program,
| the committee stated, affords an un-
usual opportunity for land use planning,
including the diversion of submarglnal
agricultural lands to other uses. refor-
estation and control of soil erosion and
floods. Industrial decentralization would
bring improvement in farmers in
comes through the development of local
markets and the creation of opportllni-
| ties for employment in industry. The
results to be obtained by well consid-
cred program of land use planning will,
| in the opinion of the committee, be
fully as significant in the long run as
the more immediate benefits from un-
employment relief. navigation, power,
fertilizer and expenditure in the basin
OF large Federal funds.
! The development of small industrial
centers. according to the committee,
will permit members of farm families to
| live on the farm and also to work in
industry. thus opening up an elastic and
| dependable labor supply of high quality,
providing shelter and subsistence In
| times of industrial depression and
thereby reducing the problems of urban
unemployment relief Not only will re-
! forestation aid navigation, flood control
and power development through regula-
tion of stream flow and reduction in
the sitting up of reservoirs and chan
nels, but, the committee points out,
planned forest development and man
agement would furnish permanent
source of raw materials for woodwork
| ing industries. provide work in the for
ests and would aid greatly the develop
ment of the recreational and unusual
| scenic qualities of parts of the basin.
| The land use and industrial develop
ment would also afford an opportunity
! for reorganization of local government
and for city and regional, as well as
rural planning.
The committee believes a careful in
ventory and classification of the land
resources, their ownership and present
use is an essential first step for plan
ming. On the basis of such classifica-
ton, areas would be designated for pub
| lie acquisition, either by the Federal
Government or by the individual States,
Bilateral compacts between the several
States and the Federal Government
would be a means of allocating respon-
sibility in the ownership and manage
ment of such lands. The planning Of
| the development is viewed throughout
| by the committee as a cooperative en-
| terprise in which existing agencies. both
State and Federal, will have important
parts to play,

20 weeks this year to date orders re-

Chief Interest in Life.
Since history began man has striven

the craze for high buildings which has

When religion was uppermost in his

of China, the pointed stupas of Burma

Prune Your Trees To
Let The Sunshine In

The important point in pruning
apple trees in eastern Washington is
to keep the tree top thinned so that
the sunshine will reach all parts of
the tree, and portion of the direct
rays will reach the ground. In western
Washington the problem is to keep the
tree within the limits of size of top
as well as to keep the tree top OPEN
In both districts the trees have a
tendency to start greater amount of
wood growth in the spring than they
can grow to reasonable dimensions in
midsummer, explains O. M. Morris of
the Washington State college horti-
cultural department. This necessitates
thinning out and cutting back of the
tops.
Three to five branches should be sell
ected as the main framework of the
tree before pruning. Other branches
found in the young trees should be
cut back in part so as to give the
framework branches the advantage of
growth.
All broken, diseased, and interfering
branches or those that rub against
each other should be removed. It is
necessary sometimes to thin out the
top of the tree by these operations,
but the primer should keep in mind
that pruning tends to dwarf the tree,
Mr.. Morris states, and the simple di-
rections of pruning to open the tree to
sunlight and remove excess parts are
the fundamental requirements. All
branches cut back should be cut back
to side twigs or branches. Do not leave
stubs in the tree.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. r Kirby made a
trip to Wenatchee Wednesday in their
truck and brought back a load of
household goods for the Bourn and
Green families, of Wenatchee, who are
moving into the house on the Bleakley
Fruit company orchard. They were &C
companied to White Bluffs in the eve
ming by Mr.. Bourn and by Mrs. Russell
Miller OF Cashmere, the latter to be
a guest until Sunday at the Kirby
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Green and their
family also drove down from Wenat-
chez Wednesday and are now at home
on the Bleakley ranch. The l.. L. Eos
ter family, who have been living there,
will occupy the house on the G. Z.
Sutherland orchard tract until the
close of school, when they expect to
move to Yakima.

Dying Sheriff Identifies
AssaiIant As Fugitive

LIMA, Ohio, Oct. 13 (G.N.s0.
Search was being conducted
throughout Ohio today for three
gunmen Hho invaded the Allen
county Jail here late yesterday,
shot and fatally wounded Sheriff
Jes Sarber, and then released
John Dillinger, 80, notorious bank
robber, said to be wanted in three
States.
The gunmen, along with Dillin-
ger, who was being held in the
county jail here to face charges
in connection with the robbery of
q bank at Bluffton, Ohio, escaped
without being sighted, leaving
officials no clue as to which way
they went.
Before lapsing into unconscious
ness last night, Sheriff Sarber de-
clared to attendants that he had
recognized one of the gunner as
"Harry Copeland" who he said
was one of the 10 convicts who
escaped from the Michigan City,
Ind, prison last September 26.
The gunner entered the county
Jail and announced to Sheriff Sar-
ber, who was alone, that they had
come "to get Dillinger." When the
sheriff demanded the credentials
Of his visitors, one of them drew a
revolver.
Sheriff Sarber started to reach
for his revolver in his desk drawer,
but as he did so, the leader of the
gunmen fired point blank. The
bullet struck Sarber in the abdo-
men.
Attracted by the shooting, Mrs.
earber, wife of the sheriff, and
Deputy Wilbert Sharpe rushed
into the office. They were met
by the gunner, overpowered, and
forced into a Jail cell. Then the
gunmen went to Dillinger's cell
and opened it with the keys they
had taken from the sheriff.

Wagner and Aides, in Session,
Study Means of Enforcing
Rules on Disputes
BY International News Service

by international news service
All the teeth in the National
Industrial Recovery Act, as it re-
lates to mediation in labor dis
putes and strikes, were being
sharpened today for use by the
National Labor Board.
In executive session under it's
chairman, Senator Robert F.. Wag-
ner Cd, New York, the board
will determine how it will use
fines and court injunctions to
force employers to come person
ally before the board in medi-
alton hearings, and abide by de-
ciSions.
Consider Other Measures
The board also will consider
its power to resort to other meas
ures to break down employer
resistance to mediation and dis
pute settlement.
In addition, the board will de-
eide how to use these rules on
recalcitrant labor elements that
strike without first permitting
the board to undertake formal
investigation of grievances.
Senator Wagner has ruled that
when the board assumes jurisdic-
ton in a dispute between en-
ployers and workers it is manda-
tory upon the employers to appear
for questioning. He said:
The board was set up by
executive authority Of the Presi-
dent. Challenging the board is
the same as challenging the
authority Of the President and
all the additional power which
has been granted him under
the Recovery Act"

nine western Kentucky coal COM
panies and the coal operators
