formed the editor of this newspaper at the
meeting that the altitude of the proposed
dam site is 1000 feet or more. A dam tha1
raised the water level 200 feet at that
point would, therefore, back water over
all points on streams flowing into the
French Broad that are 1900 feet in altl-
tude or less We are informed that the al
titude of Main street in HendersonVllle at
the point where the old city hall was To-
Gated is 2153 feet. A dam 200 feet IL
height would put water around fifty feet
in depth in the highest section of Main
street.
The Times-News mentions these matters
merely in calling attention to some tea-
lures of the proposed development and to
afford the people something to think about
while the citizens committee is collecting
information.
The Times-News regrets that the public
meeting did not develop more accurate III
formation as to what is proposed in the
plans of the army engineers; but, after ALL
that would amount to little except as ma
terial for speculation. The development
work in the French Broad Valley, if under
taken, will be directed by the Tennessee
Valley Authority. Engineer Burchard
made it plain that ne is not connected with
the Authority in any official capacity He
is a resident United States hydraulic en-
gineer engaged in charting and measuring
the streams of the State.
As this newspaper views the matter the
great opportunity in this proposed devel-
opment for the counties of Henderson and
PENNSYLVANIA, is to accept at its face value
the statement of President Morgan of the
Tennessee Valley Authority that the fed
eral authority desires to cooperate with
the people of the section in development
program that will meet the approval OF
majority. There lies the opportunity t.
get something done that will be for the
lasting benefit of the section and that will
not end in a temporary furry and infla-
ton of business that will pass in year or
two.

The CHALLENGE OF CRIME

Senator Copeland of New York said in an adj
dress to the National Anti-Crime Conference that
"the gangster, kdnaper and extortionist chal-
lenge to organized government"
Well that's nothing new. They have always been
that sort of challenge since the time of the Arabian
Knights; yes, even back to the days of Ur of the
Chaldees since Abraham went out to found new
nation in Palestine.
And it is challenge which organized govern
ment and the people it is at least supposed to rep
resent, have apparently accepted as some sort of
continuous performance, which is taken for grant
ed, and in which the best they can hope to do is
to gain temporary advantage.
Probably we have never thought of it just that
way; but that is the way have acted. And &C
tions, We have been told with truth, "often speak
louder than words"
There is good deal of the idea among us that
crime is more or less necessary Anyway, it is
something we will always have to trouble u.s.
There have been occasions, however, when some
more intrepid and capable official than usually hap
pens in public office, accepts the challenge and &C
tualy sets out to clean up the criminals in his
particular bailiwick.
If he gets the proper sort of support, which Is
seldom the case, the results sometimes surpris
ing in what they show of the possibilities of doing
a good job of that kind. y
| 1t is something we've got to take on IN good
earnest sometime-or the gangsters, kidnapers ant
racketeers of various sorts are going to have u
more or less continuously on the run.-Rock Hii

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WHERE IS THE MONEY TO COME FROM?

''The nation is soon TO call upon the public utiii-
ties to place huge capital orders for material and
machinery in order to revive the heavy industries
which are large employers says editorial in
the Riverside (Calif.} Enterprise. "a glance at
the present quotation of utility stocks, which drop
with each new onslaught of the public ownership
brigade, makes one wonder how they will raise the
money for an expansion program" g..
Elsewhere The Enterprise speaks of demagogc
efforts to "harpoon the utilities. That describes
the situation aptly. They have been attacked on
the one hand with tax-free, subsidized public con-
petition, and on the other by the assessment of
many special taxes which have appreciably raised
operating costs and in many instances imperiled
the paying of dividends. They have been the vic
tins of an insidious campaign of half-truthS and
untruths. They have subscribed to codes to lower
working hours and raise wages-and in number
of the states commissions have said definitely that
this increased expense, made in the interest of
tional recovery, at the request of the President,
would not be considered grounds for rate adjust
ments.
That is the position the utilities are in now.
They have always been among the first to expand
and encourage progress, when community and ma
tional interests made it desirable They have been,
and still are, of the two OF three greatest tax
paying and wage-paying industries. And it is
doubtless true that utility arrangements eager
to do their part in buying materials and supplies
to invgorate other industries. If they unable
to earn or attract the capital which would make
this possible, demagogic political policies which
have been undermining them must take their full
share of the blame.-PubIic Service Magazine.

the president as he pulls one
scheme after another from his
hat in the effort to get there.
No one doubts the ineXhausti-

of the most drastic, insiders
know, will be used before the re-
covery program is allowed to col

Having sufficiently recovered
my equilibrium after the STEERING,
decisive victory of the moral
forces in the election of Tues
day, it is but natural that /
should feel grateful, and deeply
appreciative to all who particl-
pated in making the victory pos
sible. Fighting apparently with
our ."backs to the wall, we met
this onrushing, powerful army,
composed of the brewers and dis
tillers, aided and abetted by the
immensely wealthy, who were
laying waste the moral structure
of our nation and to the amaze
ment of the world, it was sew
erely beaten as we'll as routed
from the borders of our state.
There is glory sufficient for
all who share in the victory;
however, 1 am confident that the
concensus of opinion of all who
reside within the circulating
radius of your good paper, is I'M
animous in conceding that
large share of the credit for the
local victory justly belongs to
The Times-News and its able and
courageous editor. Accept my
hearty congratulations and sim
cere best wishes. May you and
your most excellent daily paper
ever remain with us.
Very truly,

AS a boy, Mr.. Pecora worked in
New York sweatshops. He studied
at st. Stephens college with the in
tention of becoming an Episcopalian
minister, but he had to quit to sup
port a large family. Later he earned
his way through New York univer-

senatorial critics, and the suisse
quent surprises tumbled out. There
was then no chance for killing the
inquiry.
With this dramatic quality, how
ever, Mr.. Pecora is thorough in
preparation. For weeks Messrs. Sill

assistants had discovered in the

Pecora, On the Spot Is in His Element;
New Bombs Ready for House of Morgan
Senators After His Scalp,
but SCrappy SiCiIian
Is Undaunted.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Ferdi-
nand Pecora-the man who put
J. P. Morgan on the spots on
the spot" himself.
AS the senate investigation re-
sumed today several senators had
in their possession innuendoes di-
rected against the record of the
man whose revelations have
/ shocked the nation. Mr.. Pecora de-
/ fies his foes to present the evidence
in the open, and standing along
side him are influential members
of the commlttee-the scrappy
Jim" Couzens of Michigan and
/ Chairman Duncan Fletcher.
With the backing of the White
House, they insist the investigation
go on, no matter VINO is hurt. And
Mr.. Pecora promises to pour forth
more sensational disclosures of how
the Morgans are alleged to have
won favor and influence in high
places through loans and stock
cut-inS.
The spectacular developments
have almost obscured one ironic
phase of the inquiry-the fact that
Mr. Pecora is New Yorker, and
once a Tammany Office holder. For
two years the committee declined
the services of ulustrious New York
lawyers because they feared to in
trust an Investigation of Manhat-
tan financiers to a hometown boy.
For the same period, with investi-
gators selected from other cities,
the inquiry got nowhere.
It was not until Mr.. Pecora dug
into the insult extravaganza, the
National City company's operations,
and the House of Morgan that days
as sensational as those of Teapot
Dome struck the capital.
Mr.. Pecora combines unusual
qualities. His mind works fast, and
