Committee-Debate Unlikely
for Ten Days.

By the Associated Press.
A bill to carry out President Roose-
velt's vast Tennessee Basin project, in
cluding Government operation of Muscle
Shoals for power, nitrate and fertilizer
prodution, was introduced today by
Senator Norris, Republican, Of Nebraska
Designed as the first step in a Nation
wide project Of power production, flood
control, reforestation, navigation and
irrigation on the principal waterways, 1t
was referred to the Agricultural Com
mittee. 1t probably will not reach the
floor for 10 days.
No Specified Fund Provided.
No specified appropriation was pro-
vided in the bill, 1t merely authorizing
AL necessary funds"
At the same time q similar bill was
introduced in the House by Chairman
McSwain Of the Military Affairs Com
mittee.
In a formal statement, McSwain
said that after very brief hearings
by both proponents and opponents of
the bills" the measure would be re-
ported for House action. He explained
that identical bills had been introduced
by himself, and Representatives Almon
and Hill Of Alabama, and that he
would ask the committee to report

For IL years Norris has contested
unsuccessfully for Government opera

Muscle Shoals, presidential vetoes meet
ing has bills passed by Congress.
His satisfaction on the opportunity
given in today's introduction of the

the subject yesterday.

three to be appointed by the Presi-
dent with approval of the Senate. to
supervise the project and authorizes
q bond issue to defray cost Of construc-
ton OF plants and dams for power pur-
poses. The bonds would be secured by
the income from the sale Of surplus
power.
Norris said some difaculty had arisen
over the proposed provision making all
CACStAN VI idLlSuIlSStOu lines common
carriers to be regulated by the inter
state Commerce Commission and until
this was studied further, he would
withhold it. He probably will offer it
as an amendment on the floor.
The Secretary of War would be
authorized to construct or contract
with private interests for construction
OF Cove Creek Dam on the Clinch
River in Tennessee primarily for flood
control and navigation purposes.
Calls for Transmission Line.
A transmission line to Muscle Shoals
and equipment for generation of at

Former Senator Hitchcock
Predicts Support After
Talk With President.
DISPUTE OVER MEASURE
CARRIED TO EXECUTIVE
Secretary Woodin and Senator
Glass Confer 20 Minutes on
State Institutions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Support by President Roosevelt of the
proposed insurance Of bank deposits
was predicted today by former Senator
Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, after
q talk with the President.
Hitchcock as a member of the Senate
helped draft the Federal Reserve act.
He talked today with Mr.. Roosevelt on
the impending bank legislation.
II Is understood Raymond Moley, As
sistant Secretary Of State and one of
the economic advisers of the President.
Is working with the congressional lead
ers In the draft Of the deposit insurance
feature.
The dispute over the State banking
provisions of the impending banking
reform measure was taken to the Pres
1dent today by Secretary of the Treas
ury Woodin and Senator Glass, Demo-
crat, OF Virginia, author of the legis-
lation.
Confer 20 Minutes.
The Secretary and Senator Glass
conferred for 20 minutes with the Pres
ident and departed for Capitol Hill
where Secretary Woodin was to con-
fer with the Senate banking subcom-
mfttee in charge Of the legislation.
The conference was to be in executive
session. What Secretary Woodin says
probably represents the administration's
stand on the question and will deter
mine the fate Of the bill.
Neither Woodin or Glass would dis
cuss the results of the White House
parley.
Each was smiling broadly as he left
and an early solution Of the problem
appeared IN prospect.
The controversy over the State bank
ing provisions has come to q head In
the bill being framed by the subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Glass.
The Glass group has drafted a bill
designed to strengthen the Federal Re-
serve system and make 1t attractive to
State banks. Critics of the measure
contend it would force State banks into
the Federal system.
Glass and his committee have agreed
on the creation of q 81, 900 900 900 fund
70 insure deposits IN Federal Reserve
member banks. State banks would he

Piled for membership In the systsln.
Wants State Banks Allowed.
Chairman Steagall Of the House
Banking Committee wants to permit
State banks to join the insurance fund
by paying the required share of its
cost without joining the Federal Re-
serve system.
Glass also wants to incorporate In
the bill the branch bank provision
which the Senate approved In his bin
last session under which national banks
could have branches In States which
permitted their own State institutions
to have them.
1t was this feature of the bill that
brought the controversy at the last
session, with Senator Long, Democrat,
of Louisiana, leading the opposition to
branch banking.
The bill was killed in the House
after passing the Senate, when Steagall
failed to bring it up in his committee,
taking Longs side of the controversy.

If able to respond at ALL he has

CT game contracts, with no alternative
of signing off short of game.
That is why he must not raise at all
unless strong enough to welcome game
contract. Having raised. he has neither
the means nor the right to pass less
than-game bid by the opener. The lee
way principle is now involved. since a
Sims no-trumper always contains the
intrinsic justification for a rebid once
the partner has made response.
Here a Minimum Rebid Is a Command
to Bid. Not to Pass.
If your partner bids a no trump,
you bid two spades, and he bids two
no trumps, that is no signoff. On the
contrary. it is an entreaty to you to
make another bid-either to bid hearts
secondarily if you have a biddable
heart suit, or to rebid your spades if
you have more than four OF them and
at the moment prefer a spade contract
for game to three no trumpS. Other
wise YOU must take it to three no
trumps but you should not pass.
though you may have had only just
enough to keep you from passing on
the first round
The opener is asking fer further in
formation regarding the type OF your
hand; he is not asking whether you
have a rebid. The rebid was implicit
in your first raise or takeout, just as
a rebid was implicit in his opening bid.
That is why I insist on one and half
to two tricks as a justification for keep
ing the bidding open with hand lack
ing a five-card suit, and shade that
only slightly when there are the added
chances provided by two biddable four
