Beer VIOLATION
DRIVE TO BEGIN
Marion County Permits to
Be Checked First,
Declares Fry.

Marion county has been chosen by
Paul Fry, state excise director, for
the first drive against beer permit
violators.
Fry announced today that he will
begin this week to cover the county
with undercover men to force places
where beer licenses have been OBJ
tanned under false pretense to
clean up or close up"
Lake county will be next and then
Vigo and Vanderburg counties, he
said.
There will be no political favors
shown" Fry said. If a restaurant
permit has been granted to a place
where twenty five persons can not
be seated it will be revoked. We do
not intend to be hard boiled about
it and will give the holder of a per-
nit a chance to come within the
law.
But all must obey both the law
and the rules"
More than 1900 applications have
been received for positions as in
vestigators for his department, Fry
said. At first, a large staff will be
placed in the more populous coun-
ties for the checkup, but later only
about six will be retained perma-
nently, Fry said.
Two retail permits thus far have
been revoked, upon information
from citizens. They we're at Alex
andria and Huntington.

Silver reconciliation proposals
played significant part today in
the drive for senate passage of the
administrations imitation program
and the international currency sta
bilization phase of the Washington
economic conversations between
President Roosevelt and distin-
guished statesmen of foreign ma
lions.
The gold and silver question,
swept to a climax by America s
abandonment of the gold standard,
was discussed in talks between Mr..
Roosevelt, former Premier Herriot
of France and Prime Minister Mac
Donald of Great Britain.
The three statesmen, who were to
meet together again today, have
agreed, it was learned, that the
London economic conference should
consider limited bi-metaliSm.
France it was believed, would ac-
quiesce to silver figuring in an in
ternational monetary standard.
A strange alliance of Democratic
silver proponents and Republican
antagonists of the administrations
imitation bill was developing in the
senate. The measure is due to be
voted on before Wednesday night.
The coalition would substitute a
mandatory silver reconciliation
proposal for the provision allowing
President Roosevelt to lower the
dollars gold ratio.

WASHINGTON, April 25.
The Roosevelt program for
development of the Tennessee

plant, was swept to house pas

The bill with its provisions for
government ownership and opera
ton Of Muscle Shoals, now goes to
a friendly senate, which in the past
twice has approved similar bills only
to have them meet presidential
Vetoes.
According to terms Of the house
draft, a $50,000000 federal bond
issue coupled with a $l0,000,000
direct appropriation would provide
a newly created Tennessee Valley
authority" with funds to begin
planned development of the rich
southern area.

Two new power dams would be
constructed Immediately by the gov

The cheap power, expected to
draw new industry to the region
would be matched by cheap nitrates
for fertilizer produced at the exist
ing plants, either by privately
owned limited dividend corporation
or by the government authority
In addition, plans are contem-
plated for flood control, reforestra-
ton and navigation Improvements,
all leading to definite development
of the region and improved employ
ment conditions.

II is understood to be the admin
iStration intention to apply similar
methods to other under developed
areas, providing the Tennessee val
ley experiment proves successful.
Sale of power and other revenue
is expected to more than repay the
federal investment.
Before passing the bill, the house
voted down motion to recommit
the measure to committee and sub
stitute for it the senate bill spon-
sored by Senator George W. Norris
(Rep, Neb) The senate measure
is slightly more drastic in its pro-
visions for power regulation.
