POWER BARONS

AUTHORITY
Rate War Threatens in South
As Private Firms Seek
to Defeat Project

The big power companies of
the South are preparing to battle
against the threatened competi-
ton of the Government in it's
development of the vast Ten
nessee Valley power reservoir.
Word reached Washington to-
day that heads of the biggest
companies operating in that sec
ton have been in the South for
several weeks, closely following
the preparations of the Tennes-
see Valley Authority to launch its
big public ownership program.
Power War Threatens
With the Tennessee Valley
Authority, aided by funds of the
Public works Administration,
ready to begin a drive to cap
ture business from the private
companies, a power war" was
in prospect.
The private companies, with an
investment of $4O0,000,000, are
reported to be ready to match
the rates of the Government and
to battle in more than Is cities
and towns against proposals to
buy power from Muscle Shoals.
AS the threatened war was dis
closed, directors of the Tennessee
Valley Authority moved toward
the ablishment of Govern
ment monopoly over a wide Sec
tion.
Claiming all hydro electric sites
on the Tennessee River and its
tributaries, the valley authority
directors notified the Federal
Power Commission that it would
oppose any grants to private
companies. The Power Commits
sion is understood to be fully in
sympathy with the government
agency.
Issue Raised by Petition
The issue was raised specifically
in the petition of w. G. Waldo
for a power site at Aurora, Tenn.
near the Kentucky line.
With power sites on the entire
Tennessee River and it's tribu-
taries, the Tennessee Valley au-
thority, it is estimated, would be
able to deliver power within q
radius of 1000 miles. 1t could
reach the Ohio River with trans
mission lines.
Two Of the largest cities in the
Muscle Shoals area, Birmingham
Ala, and Knoxville, Tenn, have
taken steps toward municipa,
ownership.

SPOT ON SATURN BELIEVED A "PIkAPLE"
Not a Scratch, Says
franklin Institute
Astronomer

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10.-A
pirnple and not a scratch is the
explanation of the blemish just
noticed on the complexion Of the
planet Saturn, says James Stok-
ley, associate director and head
of the department of astronomy
of the Franklin Institute.
Those who call it a scratch
and not a pimple have suggested
that a meteor collided with the
face of Saturn. According to
their theory, dust from that col
lision made the 20,000-mile patch
now visible on the planets gas
eouS envelope.
Thinks 1t Impossible
But Mr.. Stokley thinks it i'm
possible that any meteor would
be large enough to raise an 5000
mile dust cloud by colliding with
a planet. Meteor Crater, in Ari-
zona, is the largest scar ever
found on the surface of this
earth as evidence of what hap
pens when a huge meteoric mass
smashes into a planets face
But even that famous prehis-
toric event could have raised no
such far7spreading cloud of dust
as now is visible on Saturn'S
surface.
The pimple theory, however,
seems to Mr. Stokley a reason
able explanation. A volcanic
eruption on Saturn, he thinks,
we'll might have caused q dust

GAMERS MUST
RAISE PRICES

Tomato cam ing companies
throughout the nation were today
asked in a telegram sent by
Charles j. Brand, co-administra'
tor Of the agricultural adjustment
act, to increase their prices to
growers by 25 per cent above
prices stated in contracts already
made with individual growers.
This action was in response to
appeals from growers of tomatoes
faced with higher prices for labor
and higher living costs. It was
pointed out in the telegram that
the A d ministration recognizes
that many Gamers have already
made future contracts on the basis
of low cost materials and labor.
1t was requested that the can
nerS supply information on firms
holding forward contracts so as
to facilitate adjustment in the in
terest of growers and Gamers ano
in keeping with the Presidents
recovery plan.
Results of the proposed increase
would give additional purchasing
power of at least $1o,OO0,00O tt

Thirteen years of bloody and
hectic enforcement of the prohibi.
ton law by a separate bureau Of
the Government came to an end
today.
The prohibition bureau expired.
Many felt that real enforcement
of the Volstead act went by the
board at the same time.
An executive order created the
division of investigation of the
Department of Justice. This di-
vision absorbed the prohibition,
investigation, and Identification
bureaus.
1000 Face Loss of Jobs
Thirteen hundred employees of
the prohibition bureau were fur
loughed July 1,~while a consider
able additional number will be
dropped within a few days. 1t
was expected that not more than
1000 of the total personnel OF
1000 would be retained. Half of
those to remain in the Justice De-
partment will be prohibition en-
forcement agents.
Officials said that Attorney
General Cummings would con-
tine to direct his skeleton force
of agents against the liquor traf-
fic, but admitted that under the
new lineup the Government is
powerless to cope with the illicit
business. Even with the larger
force, the bootleggers piled a ire

about the death of Lieutenant
Squaglia.
"When we started from Lon

they were working on a definite

ENTERS DUBLIN

DUBLIN, Aug. 10 GN.SO.-De-
flying a threatened government
ban, the vanguard of Fascist
"blue shirt" army of 10000 men
marched into Dublin today, de-
termined to stage an anti-De
Valera parade Sunday while re-
ports spread that coup d'etat
may be in the making.
Heavily armed guards patrolled
all government buildings to pre-
vent any attempted revolt, and
the situation in the capital was
extremely critical.
The Blue Shirts" led by Gen
eral O'Duffy, poured into the city
from all parts of the country. 1t
was generally believed the gov
ernment intends to ban the pa
rade. A serious clash between the
''Blue Shirts" and De Valera s
Irish republican army was feared.
President De Valera intended to
announce his decision on the
''Blue Shirts" in a parting speech
to the Dali last night, but was
prevented by oppositionists who
shouted him down.

4O-Hour Week
Difficult to
Attain
By International News Service


Although he declared the 40
hour maximum week in the
textile code was entirely too
high for industry as a whole,
Hugh S. Johnson, national re-
covery administrator, has been
unable to keep the average
even down to that figure.
A compilation made today by
International News Service re-
vealed that the average maxi
mum work week for the first
"a industrial codes or special
agreements specifically ap-
proved by Johnson, stood at
40A hours.
The shortest week in the
group of "a industries was 33
hours for gasoline pump manu-
featuring plants. The longest
was 40 to so hours for ice
making plants.
Labor union officials pointed
out that a number of the codes
and agreements allow a 10 per
cent leeway. This would bring
the average, in actual practice,
to a substantially higher total.

MT. HAMILTON. Cal, Aug. 10
G.N.SO.-The white spot which
has suddenly appeared on the sur
face of Saturn, causing a world
wide furore among astronomers,
will provide the first opportunity
in years to measure the rotation
of the planet, according to as
tronomers at Lick Observatory
here. Prof. w. H. Wright said:
"SpOts were last seen in 1875
and 1903, and it is on ObServa-
tions made then that our knOwl-
edge of the rotation Of Saturn
depends.
at is possible that the spot is
in some way connected with the
open bright equatorial belt in
which il lies, since it seems to
