MUNITIONS SHIP
OFF To CUBA
International News Service


Evidencing the determination Of
President Roosevelt to keep war
ships in Cuban waters until there
is reasonable assurance American
lives will not be endangered, the
naval supply and ammunition
ship Nitro today was en- route
from Hampton Roads to the is
land republic.
Naval officials asserted the
Nitro carried mostly" supplies
for the 16 vessels now in Cuban
waters. However, it was learned
the ship also had a considerable
quantity of ammunition aboard
in case of an emergency.
Maintenance of a large naval
force in Cuban waters is due to
the conviction of this govern
ment that their presence is pre-
venting attack on American ma
tionals, Secretary of State Hull
said today. About 80 warships
are in or near Cuban waters.
Hull said the government was
maintaining the warships there
to avoid any charges of gross
negligence in event Americans
were attacked.

POOR OLD UNIVERSE JUGGLED AROUND
AS SCIENTISTS PROBE RELATIVELY
ImPasse Develops in
Einstein's Theory
OF Earth

LEICESTER, England, Sept. IA.
Strange things happened to the
universe when the physicists of
the British Association for the
Advancement of Science gathered
here to hear such celebrities as
Able Georges Lemaitre, Prof. Will
liam de Sitter and Sir Arthur
Eddington discuss the new cos
mogony.
The universe was pushed in and
pulled out, blown up like bubble
and reduced to a mathematical
point.
Complicated equations chalked
on blackboards were evidently
beautiful harmonies which these
sensitively attuned mathemati-
clans heard as a modernistic
music of the spheres.
The reason for this mathe-
matical juggling is to be found in
the strange impasse to which
development of the Einstein
theory of relativity has brought
science. This development would
make the earth, sun and stars a
thousand times older than the
universe itself. To extricate them
selves from this uncomfortable
position, relativists at Leicester
wrote another chapter in the new
mathematical book of Genesis.
Able Lemaitre is especially in
terested in the problem present
: ed. He is the original inventor
of the closed and expanding uni
verse. He explained his latest

A $63, 100000 tentative allot-

difficulties which may necessitate
legislative action by Congress.

So he created an entirely new
universe. We start with a cloud
OF matter. It expands as a
whole, slows down to pass over
what Able Lemaitre calls the
equilibrium radius, and then con.

faster and faster rate.
But while the universe as a

In this new theory stars and

ters that lie far beyond, are
under this theory all a result of
the collapseS of matter IN a

Able Lemaitre finds some con-

Of the Mt. Wilson Observatory
in California, but wants more.

LEASING
CLAUSES Of

Independent Movie Theaters
Hold They Are Barred From
Spending Millions
BY International News Service

The current hearings on a code
for the motion picture industry
provide the spectacle of men with
millions to spend pleading for the
right to buy" it was charged by
independent exhibitors today.
The Independents concentrated
their efforts on attempts to block
retention IN the proposed code Of
provisions which allow continu-
ance of the practice of selling ex-
elusive first run" rights to pic
lures in given territories.
Row Develops
When the subject was opened
for discussion by Deputy Admins
traitor Sol A. Rosenblatt, disorder
developed, independent exhibitors
jumping up from their chairs in
the auditorium to demand a right
to be heard.
The independents declared that
producers would get more income
from their product if all types of
theater owners were permitted to
bid for first-run pictures.
Rap Chain Theaters
They said many of the major
producing companies, saddled with
Improbable chains of theaters,
were forced to support these thea
ters by throwing away" part of
the profits they might otherwise
obtain.
Klupt charged that most of the
producer affiliated theaters were
not so well managed as a large
majority Of the independent thea
ters. He said:
Last night in New York, q
great demonstration occurred in

ing people to buy. But here in

A Government contract for

eral Division of Supply trouble

failed to notice the phrase MADE

letters on the gadget.
When bids for the contracts
were opened, a New York concern
submitted an offer which was
lowest and a sample which ap-
peared suitable. This firm got
the order.
Two months or so later, after
the first consignment had come
in, a clerk in the division noticed

on the letter opener on his desk.
He reported it to officials. The

POWER
RATES To Be
VERY LOW
Typical General Consumer to
Pay 2 Cents Per XVIII and
Wholesalers 7 Mills
BY International News Service


Publicly owned Muscle Shoals
will sell power to municipality
owned distribution systems, as
suming half-time use, for Z mills
per kilowatt-hour when opera
ton is begun, the Tennessee Val
ley Authority announced today.
These rates apply only to the
municipalities within the area
which it is planned to serve
initially. The boundaries of this
area were not outlined.
Consumers Rates Fixed
A statement by David E. Lilien-
thai, a member Of the board Of
directors of the Authority and in
charge of it's power program, an
nounced the rate and prescribed
in detail what rates the Author
ity expects the distribution sys-
TENS to charge consumers.
Even lower rates will be possible
in the future, the Authority said.
Lilienthal said:
1--WE propose that our munich
pal wholesale customers charge
the individual residence con-
sumner in the towns and cities
thus served a maximum gross
rate of 3 cents a kilOwatt hour
for the first block, and for sub
Sequent blocks 2 cents, cent
and 4 mills.
"FOr the typical general con-
sumner this is an average Of
about 2 cents a kilOwatt hour,
and for the typical limited user
an average of about 2A cents.
For a fully electrified home
which is our objective-the rate
would average Z mills per kiIO-
watt hour.
MINIMUM USE PRESCRIBED
The farm user, we propose,
should pay the same rate for
energy as the town and city
householder. These schedules,
both for town and farm, carry
with them a requirement that
the customer use a reasonable
amount per month as a mini.
mum. These minimum require
ments vary, both in urban and
farm territory, with the size Of
the customers meter. Farm
users will have a large minimum
requirement wherever the
greater distances between
customers result in increased
costs Of service.
1--WE believe that these low
rates will mean that the people
Of the valley will greatly in
crease their use Of electricity
which is one of the Objectives
Of the President and Congress.
IF this occurs, even lower
rates can be planned for the
future"

N:N.so o.-Virginia, one of the
original 13 States of the Union,
IS again, for the first time since
the Civil War, in the midst of a
tremendous transition.
To ride through its highways,
TO walk in the streets of its cities
and towns, is to feel something
new in the air. The new deal,
whether for good or ill, has taken
hold here in a manner that might
surprise and even mystify those
who are pulling the fresh, un-
tried strings of hoped-for pros
perity at washington.
Peanut King Joins
Consider Amedeo Obici, for
instance. Obici is unquestionably
the dictator of the peanut indus
try in America. Even the new
deal can't entirely wipe out
rugged individualism" from his
soul. Yet today he is in the van
guard of those who are conform
ing with the Governments de-
mand for shorter hours and
higher wages.
True enough, Obici is not pre-
cisely Virginian. His fore
fathers had only the vaguest
knowledge of the Civil War. He
was born in Italy and came to
America with the idea Of making
money.
He conceived the idea that peo-
pie like peanuts, properly salted,
done up in nice little bags. He
sold them for 5 cents. He is now
the biggest dealer in scent pea
nut bags in America. Later he
began manufacturing peanut oil.
He Increased Force
Well, without waiting for the
Government to do anything about
it, Obici proceeded to increase
wages, take on more men and
shorten hours. The result is that
if you come to Virginia these days
looking for a job. some one is very
apt to say:
'LoOk up AmedeO Obici."

SUPPLY Bills
THREATENED
,s
BY T|E-UP

The big appropriation bills
which provide funds to run the
Government were imperilled to-
day by the continued legislative
tie-up Of the Lame Duck" Con-
gress.
Democratic leaders in both Sen
ate and House were alarmed over
the possibility Of the failure Of
many of these measures, which
would complicate the work Of the
proposed special session.
With less than six weeks Of the
Lame Duck" session remaining,
not a single big supply bill has
been signed by the President.
The House has passed seven Of
the II bills, but the Senate has
acted upon only one, the first de-
ficiency bill, which was vetoed by
President Hoover yesterday.
Unless the measures become
law, Democratic plans to limit the
expected special session to the
major proposals of the national
platform would be tossed over
board.
Passage Of the supply bills,
which make up the "a 900 ,O0O, 900
budget, would require at least two
months, it is estimated. Other
legislation would be excluded.
In the measures which have
been reported to the House, the
Appropriations Committee claims
q saving Of $3.50, ,000, 900 under ap-
preparations Of last year.
