keep in close touch with develop

Every indication was that the

a result.

The decree, dictatorial in ma

Simultaneous with it's announce
ment, soldiers with machine guns
were again stationed at the Ma

In the lobby of the hotel, the
officers had several machine

They declared they had enough
food to last them three months.
The governments decree of

WHITE HOUSE
AIDE DIES OF.
HEART MALADY.
Ike Hoover, Friend Of
Presidents Since 1890
Passes Suddenly

WASHINGTON. Sept. Is (UP)
"Ike" Hoover, who knew perhaps
more state secrets and more per-
sonages of international impor-
lance than any other man in
America, died of heart attack
last night.
Hoover-his full name was Ir.
win Hood Hoover-served as chief
usher at the executive mansion
from the administration of Ben
jamin Harrison in 1890 until his
death.
His duties were so varied and
his value so great that it is diff
fcult to describe his position. He
was far more than a butler, a sort
of executive manager of the
household affairs of the presi-
dents. He also served as Major
Domo. greeting guests at the door,
ushering them into reception
rooms, often introducing them.
Beyond that, he was the friend
of the presidents and a wholly
trusted aide who could be allowed
to listen, in performance of his
duties, to the most secret of dis
cussions without fear of the re-
suits. Never in all his 43 years
was there so much as sugges-
ton of a "leak" through him of
anything that he had heard or
seen.
Ambassadors or senators wives,
prime ministers or presidents
friends from back home, peers or
patronage seekers. they were all
in the days work for Ike. Through
the regimes of nine presidents he
knew all corners, to the residence
side of the White House.
A man of great dignity and
strictly proper dress, he was al
ways affable and tactfully pleas
ant. His part was to arrange, to
plan, to supervise the machinery
of entertainment. to see that din
ners and teas and conferences of
state were smoothly run off: never
was he a participant. He saw and
heard much, but one of the few
times he ever admitted how much,
came when he told a correspon-
dent he had known for years:
az hear all those people yessing
the president and l often wish l
could break in and say. Don't you
pay any attention to that, Mr..
President. he's just yessing to get
something out of you"
Never did desire break through
decorum though at times the
course of the nation might have
been affected if it had.
Hoover went to the White
House first in 1890 to install the
first electric lights there. He was
Fl then, an employee of the Edi-
son Company of New Jersey.
President Harrison. accustomed to
candles at state dinners and gas
light on less formal occasions, dis
trusted the new lighting system
and when installation was COM
plete invited Hoover to remain as
member of the staff, combining
the duties of usher and electri-
clan. He had to turn all lights on
and off for some time, because the
occupants of the White House
were afraid to touch them.
He speedily made himself indis-
pensable. He saw that all presi.
dents had everything they could
desire and made new ones COM
Portable. He guided wives and
families of new chief executives
through the hazards of White
House etiquette.

AREA
POWER RATES
WILL BE LOW
But Schedule Will Make
Establishment There
Self Supporting

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is (UP)
Although power rates in Muscle
Shoals territory will be materially
lower than private power rates
generally, they will be based on
q business enterprise schedule
which will allow the power devel-
opment to pay its own way, Di-
rector David E. Lilienthal of the
Tennessee Valley Authority said
last night.
Proposed electric rates to con-
sumers within the Muscle Shoals
area will be not more than three
cents a kilowatt hour. 1t had been
announced earlier.
Lilienthal characterized the pro-
posed rates as "strikingly low
but explained they covered all
costs of furnishing service.
"They are based on the boards
policy" he said, chat Muscle
Shoals shall be entirely self sup
porting and 'bankable'; in other
words, a business enterprise"
Lilienthal pointed out that pro-
vision was made in the tentative
rates for expenses not actually in
Cured, such as taxes and interest,
so as to make fair comparison
with privately operated utilities
for 'yardstick' purposes"
He said the development period
which had been considered in the
rate computations probably would
be shortened because the low
rates would create a "fair mar
ket" and increase demands for
electricity. =,
Lilienthal pointed out that the
proposed IVA rates were sub
stantially lower than present pow,
err rates, taking 1882 National
Electric Light association sched-
ules as a basis. They were as fol
lows:
