3 CITIES To GET
j. 8, POWER

Immediate action to supply
power from the giant Govern
ment hydroelectric plant at Mus
Gle Shoals to the Alabama cities
of Florence, Sheffield and Tus-
cumbia was ordered today by the
Tennessee Valley authority.
This is the first direct step to
make Government power avail
able to municipalities in the Mus
Gle Shoals area. All three cities
are close to Muscle Shoals.
Directors of the Tennessee Val
ley development also announced
a decision to begin immediate
preparation of plans for 22O-
mile transmission line from Will
son Dam at Muscle Shoals to
the proposed new dam at Cove
Creek.
With the linking Of these two
big hydroelectric projects, the
Federal Government will be in
position to furnish power to
cities over a wide area.

Boy Scout DrOlUned
TrYinq to See Races

HERALD .HARBOR, July 81.
Slipping from Camp Linstead
near here to watch the Tri-City
Regatta yesterday cost Samuel
Cinqueghani, 13, a Baltimore Boy
Scout, his life. The lad left the
camp during a rest period and
waded to a sandbar to view the
races. He stepped into deep water
and drowned despite heroic efforts
of his brother, Peter, IS, to rescue
him.

grees below zero.
"When the men in the ship
were ready to come back to
earth they could angle off,
using a little of their reserve
power. When they got back
close enough to earth they
would have to take to their
parachutes and jump.
MENTAL STRAIN, INDEED!
Beyond the earth's atmOs-
phere, the men would be
weightless. They would have
difficulty in moving about. Be-
sides, they were constructed to
Withstand the pull Of gravity
and, relieved Of that force, they
might suffer some peculiar ply
SiOlOgical damage.
"The men in the rocket
would a. feel as if they were
falling, falling, falling, and the
sensation could not be reasoned
away. The mental strain with
that going on not for just a
few ecOndS but for hours
would be terrific"
In speaking of the 100000,
900, Conrad explained it repre-
sented only the cost of two bat
Il hips, and said he believes the
trip to the moon would be worth
two battleships. However, he says
he believes it will be many years
before such a trip is undertaken

NEW YORK, July 81 GN.S).
"A ransom demand for only $500
was reported to have been made
today for the release of David
Kahan, once wealthy Brooklyn
real estate operator, believed to
have been kidnapped.
The small demand and the
crude fashion in which it was

While relatives insisted Kahan
was in the hands of kidnapers, de-
tectives today searched Van Cort-

Kahan disappeared Thursday.
Later his abandoned automobile

of Strange Accident Aboard
the Liner Bremen

BREMEN, Germany, July 81
(I.N.SD.-The possibility of sui
eide in connection with the
fatal shooting Of Karl Heye. Of
Rochester, N. Y, aboard the
liner Bremen at sea is being
investigated by local police, 1t
was said this afternoon.
NEW YORK, July 81 Q.N.S0.
Karl Werner Heye, Sd, 26-yearS
old Rochester (N.YJ broker and
heir, was shot and killed accf
dentally by his travelling COM
panion, Charles Manger, while
both were playing with a re-
volver" in a cabin aboard the
liner Bremen, according to the
cabled report of the tragedy re-
ceived at the offices here of the
North German Lloyd Line.
The radio m ssage received
from Capt. Leopold ziegenbein,
Of the liner, declared that al
though negligence was the cause
Of the shooting, "the matter
must be referred to the German
court"
Report of Accident
The radio report, freely trans
lated from the German, was as
follows:
"Karl Warner Heye, passen-
ger, first class, destination
Bremerhaven (Bremen), has
been shot by First Glass Pas
senger Manger on July 30,
through negligence.
Result of the investigation
revealed that passengers played
in first class cabin with re-
vOIver. However, matter must
be referred to German court.
Police in Bremen have been
informed.
(Signed) Captain Ziegenbein."
Charles Manger, friend and
travelling companion of young
Heye, is the son Of the partner
in national hotel chain. Ralph
Revillo, of New York city, friend
Of both youths, received a cable
from Manger which said: Y
"Will probably return with
Karl aboard this ship"
The MESSAGE gave no other in
formation about the shooting at
sea.
Known AS Good Friends
Revillo said there was no doubt
in the minds of the friends of
Heye and Manger that the shoot
ing was an accident. He de-
clared:
1--WE knew both men init
mately and they were the best =,
Of friends. AS soon as Charlie .
(Manger) gets home, the whole :.
affair will be cleared up"
Whether or not Manger will be
permitted to return on the
Bremen Immediately with the
body of his friend remained in
doubt. This was thought to be
responsible by his friends for the
uncertainty indicated by the
probably" in his cable.

HUNDREDS SIGN
NRA CARDS

The drive to sign up Wash
ington business firms and citizens
under the Blue Eagle is nearing
its climax, with the arrival today
at local MIRA headquarters Of
thousands of signed consumer
cards from several Government
departments, and the announce
ment that 900 additional women
volunteers are in the field can
vassing householders.
The Treasury Department to-
day turned over to NRA head
quarters in the Board of Trade
building cards bearing the sigma
lures of 10,989 employees. The
Navy Department sent in a first
batch of 4,200, and hundreds OF
others have arrived from the
Labor and War Departments.
The campaign among the Fed
eral agencies was instituted, it is
understood, by Charles F. Horner'
of the Bureau of Public Relations
of the NRA. He sent out the
cards to the various departments,
with instructions to return them
to local Blue Eagle officials.

TUBERCULOSIS.
AID URGED

A plea that the Director OF Pub
lie Works expedite the grant OF
$1,OO0,OOO for construction here
of tuberculosis hospital Tor
adults was contained in a resolu'
ton passed today by the execu-
tive officers of the tuberculosis
Association.
The municipal tuberculosis hos
pital is overcrowded and has a
long waiting list, Mrs. Ernest r.
Grant, president of the assocla-
ton, pointed out.
The hospital has only 200 beds,
while a survey shows that there
should be at least 600, she said.
Children coming in contact with
persons who should have hospital
ization but cannot are subject TO
infection.
More than 1900 washington
children are now suffering from
the disease, she said, and this is
largely due to the inadequacy OF
adult care.
The new hospital project Is
contained in the 100000 Dis
trict program now before the
Public Works Administration for
consideration.

'My country, 'tis Of thee"


Grey bearded men, lads not yet
out of their teens, mothers with
children clinging to their skirts,
pink checked youngsters, and
every eye glued to the slip of
paper bearing the magic word,
America"
The morning assembly Of the
Americanization School at the
Webster Tenth and H SITS. N. w.,
is dismissed and the strangely
assorted group of students scatter
to their various classes.
Every Nationality
They are of every nationality
last year 81 different nations
were represented on the school
rolD, of every age and of almost
every degree of literacy.
There is a grey bearded man.
a Hebrew scholar, who is learn
ing to write his name in Eng
1ish; the Georgetown economies
professor studying for his final
cltlzenSh1p paper eXamlnaClOn' ,
the pretty black-eyed Italian
housewife, who reads and writes
in neither her own language or
the language of the land of her
adoption, and the little slant eyed
Chinese boys for whom a special
class must be arranged.
Mothers bring their babies to
be left in the school nursery while
they attend class. Dozens of
little ones are tumbling over each
other in play or mapping in little
white cribs. Glasses in sewing
and child care are conducted in
the nursery where the mothers
may keep an eye on their Off
springs but many must leave
them in charge of the nursery at
tendants while they pore over

kindergarten Crowded
The Americanization S hool
conducts not only nursery school,
but a kindergarten for children
of the mothers attending other
classes. Both are crowded.
Miss Maude E. Alton, principal
of the school, tells amazing stories
of strides made by her pupils
She recalls an Italian boy, now a
scientist in a Government depart
ment, who came to her at 18
unable to read or write in any
language. In ten years he had at
tained a doctors degree in a scien
tific subject.
Illiteracy, says Miss Alton, does
not mean lack of intelligence al
ways but of opportunity.
Gives Them Confidence
The illiterate classes are not
confined to foreigners. Glasses
are open to anyone desiring to
read or write and many of the
students are native-b born Ameri-
cans. Miss Alton finds the great
est difficulty in handling this
group of students is breaking
down their sense of inferiority.
She says:
"They are ashamed to admit
that they can neither read or
write. In building up their con-
fidence in themselves, we make
as much over their writing their
names as you would over a
college degree. And, in a sense,
it is as important. 1t means
their defense attitude has been
broken down. And with the
average adult student, that is
all they need to 60 on"

SUIT To CLIMAX
VACCINE TIFF

Suit will be started against
teachers, principals, and OF h er
school officials for their stand
on the vaccination of his chill
dren, Howard H. Entz, embattled
government worker, announced
today.
Entz declared on this course Of
action after her had taken his
two children, Barbara, 8, and
David, 7, to the Gage School for
the second day.
Regarded AS Guests
No attempt was made to bar
the children, but Miss Frances P.
Fernald, principal, informed the
father that they would be con-
sidered as guests" and not as
students.
They might be admitted to the
class rooms, Miss Fernald told
Entz, but they would not be given
any instruction until the District
vaccination law has been COM
piled with.
Told this, Entz asserted he
would start civil action and left
the school to confer with his
attorney.
Entz contends that his children
were vaccinated last June and
that because it did not take he
refuses to have another innocula
ton of poison" as he terms it
administered to them.
Entz confronted S. M. Ely,
supervising principal of the Fifth
District, with the query:
"If these children are a peril
to the health of others here,
why are they even admitted to
the classrOOmS as visitors. That
is a bit inconsistent, isn't it?"
To which Ely replied:
1--WE are between two fires
and are doing what we think
best for the children until this
can be strengthened out"

FARM OFFICES
ON THE MOVE

The NRA has nothing on the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration when it comes to moving
officials around from one office
to another.
Today a citizen tried to find
the comptroller of the agricul-
tural outfit. He first tried the
penthouse on the roof of the
main building, where the office
had been last week. He was told
to go to Room 5047 in the South
Building.
Inquiry there revealed that the
comptroller had just moved to a
suite on another corridor. When
visited, this suite was found to
be decidedly empty of furniture,
much less human beings.
