Urges Action at Once
With the papers found, Major
Hodgson Immediately went to the
office of Secretary Of the Interior
Ickes, the public works admins
traitor, and urged that immediate
action be taken on the District
application.
First intimation that the Dis
trict papers were missing came
yesterday when Secretary Ickes
was asked why the public works
board had not noted on the Dis
trict request. He replied:
''The Commissioners have
not asked us for a cent, so
far as I know, for District Of
Columbia projects"
Col. Henry N. Waite, deputy
administrator, said that no re-
quest had been received by the
office from the District.
ThOwn Into Fur0re.
District officials were thrown
into a furore when informed Of
this. as several weeks had been
spent in making out the lengthy
list of projects included.
On June 27 the list was sent
to Col. D. H. Sawyer, then acting
administrator of public works.
The list was turned over to
Colonel Sawyer by Ross Haworth,
secretary to DR.. Luther .Reichel.
derfer, president of the Commis-
sioners.
On July IA the Commissioners
again submitted to the office Of
Secretary 1ckes a formal appli-
cation for funds on official blanks
issued for that purpose.
Forgot to Mention
On July 25 Secretary Ickes said
the District request "had not
been taken up" but at that time
made no mention of the papers
not having been received.
just how the papers so vital
to the District in the reconstruc.
tion program came to be buried
in the subcommittee file has not
yet been determined.

j. s. PLANS WAR
AGAINST ADDED
POWERPLANTS
Tennessee Valley Head Claims
Private Companies Tell
"ConfIiCting Stories"

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. II a..
N. SO.-With a power war"
between the U. S. Government
and private companies anticipated
in the Tennessee Valley, DR..
Arthur E. Morgan, chairman Of
the Tennessee Valley authority,
today had charged the private
companies with circulating "mis-
leading propaganda" intended to
defeat the success Of the Muscle
Shoals project.
Delivering an address while
here on a brief vacation, DR..
Morgan asserted that the private
companies are broadcasting "con-
flicting stories" He said:
"They are sending out prOpa-
ganda, which indicates that
there is so much water power
now in the Tennessee Valley
that no more is needed.
ASK FOR PERMITS
"At the same time, however,
various applications are being
received at Washington asking
the Federal Power Commission
for permission to build more
plants in direct contradiction Of
the first story"
Although refusing to comment
about the plans of the big com
panies to battle the Government
for business by matching the Gov
ernment rates, DR.. Morgan de
clared that the Tennessee Valley
Authority will continue it's fight
against opening up of other pri
vate plants. He said:
READY FOR TEST
eve have asked the Federal
Power Commission not to issue
any other grants to private COM
panies and we are determined
to carry out President ROose-
velt's admOnition to us to make
this test between pubIic-Owned
and privately owned power.
"The President wants a yard.

MINING BARONS
MAY QUIT NRA
HEARINGS
Threaten to Leave Session if
Company Union Plan
Meets Objection
BY 1nternatio0nl News Service


Spokesman for the coal barons
Of the great Appalachian and
Northern fields today threatened
to walk out Of the NRA hearings
on a bituminous coal code If their
demands for retention Of COM
pany unions are refused.
Charles O'Neill, who presented
the Appalachian and Northern
code, containing a company union
clause, declared:
"T intend to leave Washing
ton tonight and remain away
until a code satisfactory to our
association is agreed upon. I
will return, however, if the NRA
sends for me-"
O,Neill' defiant statement, made
to newspaper men, offsets per-
sistent reports that the coal baronS
in the vast area, stretching from
eastern Tennessee to northern
Pennsylvania, had agreed to yield
in their determined fight against
the labor provisions Of the Ma.
tional Recovery Act.
No Accord, Says Lewis
John L. Lewis, president Of
the United Mine Workers Of
America, asserted:
"These reports are highly in
teresting if true. I have heard
nothing, however, that would
tend to confirm them"
Gen. Hugh S. johnson, recov-
cry act administrator, told news
papermen that the coal industry
question cannot be solved so
long as O'Neill insists upon spe-
cific authority to deal exclusively
with company unions. johnson
said:
"While the Administration
can do nothing until q code
is signed, the industry must
deal with the representatives Of
the miners after it has signed
o code.
"O'Neill submitted an agree
ment which, if approved, means
that he will meet the devil
across the table if necessary"
SINGLE CODE GAINING
While the Eastern coal barops
fought desperately to retain their
feudal privileges and to ward off
effective Federal regulation Of
their industry, an increasingly
strong lineup of independent
operators and operating associ-
ations threw fresh support be-
hind the proposal for a single
national code to govern the en-
tire industry.
Labor and capital would be
equally represented on the control
board set-up under this code,
with the NRA holding a veto
power.
Leading operators sponsoring
the national code declared the
Appalachian and northern group
"have already virtually walked
out" They claimed that numer-
Gus operators in the northern and
Appalachian fields were prepar-
ing to desert O'Neill and throw
their forces with the national
code.
However, Forney Johnston, rep
resenting the Birmingham, Ala,
producers, started an extremely
bitter attack against the national
code, demanding a separate code
for the Alabama bituminous
fields.

Cash Benefits To Be Paid Wheat
Growing Farmers

Cash benefits will be paid this
fall to many of the $4,000 farmers
in Ohio who grow wheat, under the
plan with which the agricultural ad-
justment administration has decid-
ed to make the farm act effective
for wheat this year. Payments will
probably be made by September IS.
Ohio ranks tenth in wheat pro-
duction, the records of the United
States department of agriculture
show. In the five-year period,
192S-32, it produced on an av-
erage, 80 million bushels, and
planted on the average, 1881, 900
acres.
The wheat adjustment program
provides for paying cash benefits TO
farmers on the basis of the per
centage of their average wheat crop
for the past three years, which is
domestically consumed as food. up
on agreement of farmers to reduce
their acreages. Processing taxes
are to be levied to pay the costs.
To Determine Percentage
The plan will be to pay cash ben
efits each year on the allotments of
each farmer for 1888, 1884, and
1885, provided the farmer agrees
to reduce his planted acreages for
the 1884 and 1885 crops by per
centage that will subsequently be
determined by the secretary of ag-
riculture, but will not be more than
20 percent of the average acreage
planted by the farmer in the last
three years.
approximately million partic-
ipating wheat farmers should be af-
fected by the program. The admin
istration will be thoroughly decen-
tralized, with farmers organizing
their own county committees to take
charge of local details of admins
tration. These county groups will
be the key units in the whole
scheme, and the farmers will choose

Joshua. Joshua 1:1-9;23:1-2,14,
for Sunday, July 2:
Joshua first appears commanding
the Israelites against the Amalek-
ties. he was one of the explorers
sent out to view the land and one
of the immortal two that signed the
minority report favoring immediate
entrance.
v. 1. 'Now it came to pass after
the death of Moses, the servant OF
Jehovah, that Jehovah spake unto
Joshua the son Of Nun, Moses min
lister, saying" Moses was dead. but
the Lord was still alive, and He
chose another Immediately to put
in Moses place No human death
can cut a gap in Gods plans.
". 2. .Arise, go over this Jor-
dan, thou and all this people, unto
the land which I do give to them,
even to the children of Israel" In
stead of despair and paralysis after
the death of Moses, there was to be
action, conquest and victory; when
one passes through periods of dis
couragement and sorrow, extra eff
fort needs to be made to carry on
the work of God.
v. 8. every place that the sole
of your feet shall tread upon, to you
have I given it, as l spake to
Moses.' The Lords promises are
not means to Incidence, but mo-
tives to urgent action. Worthwhile
attainments, health, education, bus
mess success, character, are ours
when sealed by our footprints of
conquest and victory.
v. 5. "There shall not any man
be able to stand before thee all the
days of thy life: as I was with
Moses. so I shall be with thee;
will not fail thee nor forsake thee" !"
There is fighting to be done. The
strongholds of sin must be reduced.
The enemies of God must be rout-
ed.
v. 6. "Be strong and of good
courage; for thou shalt cause this
people to inherit the land which 1
sware unto their fathers to give
them God graciously gave the
promised land to them, but even
more graciously He let it cost them
something. Who values valueless
inheritance?
V. 7. "Only be strong and very
courageous, to observe to do all the
law which Moses my servant com
manded thee; turn not from it to
the right hand or to the left, that
thou mayest have good success
whithersoever thou goest.' Joshua
was not to be rash and reckless and
run wildly along any path, but he
was to keep in the narrow way of
righteousness. The way of right
eousness may be pretty we'll known
by studying carefully Gods word.

their own men to handle the county
program. Each county group will
pay its own expenses, to be charged
to each farmer according to his al
lotment. The more economically
the local unit is operated, the less
1t will cost the farmers in that
county.
The average amount of wheat
that farmers have grown in the last
three years will determine the basis
of their allotments, says NJ L. Will
son, who is in charge Of the wheat
adjustment program. The govern
ment has official records on state
and county production. Averages
for the crop years 1928 % 1892 will
be computed, and upon this aver
age production and acreage the al
lotment for each county will be
made.
After the allotment is made to
each county, the county committee,
chosen by farmers themselves at
community meetings, will have each
farmer list his wheat acreage and
production for the last three years.
The committee will take an average
of this, and then allot to each farm
er his proportionate share CT the
amount allotted to the county.
To Pay 80 Cents
The farmer will receive an allot-
ment which is in the same propor-
tion to his average production as
the total wheat domestically con-
sumed in this county for food is to
the total wheat grown This al
lotment will be in bushels. On this
allotment number of bushels, he
will receive cash benefit from
funds raised by processing tax
levied on the basis of the relation
ship between present price and par
ity price of the pre-war period. 1t
is estimated that about 80 cents
per bushel will be paid, two-thirds
by about September Is and the re-
naming third in the spring of
1884.
The plan functions as crop insur-
ance up to the amount of the bene-
III oh Vic dilOIlSu HuUlU6I Ol DuS0-
els. To obtain the benefit the
farmer must plant his crop in the
ordinary manner, but if it is hailed
out, dried out, blown out, or 9TH
erwise destroyed by nature, he will
receive his benefit just the same.
AS matter of economy and eff
cheney, the administration will use
the agricultural extension services
in organizing farmers under the
plan. County agents will take an
active part in the organization
work, and are in position to give
information on the wheat plan.
The foregoing is from the Ohio
State university and the L. S. de-
partment of agriculture cooperating

Advertising Brings Results

How may we keep ourselves in
terested In our conquests for the
sake of moral values, and not for
conquest's sake?
TO what processes should we ex-
pose the youth of our church in Or
der to develop creative and dv-
namic leadership?
Glorious says: "To face an un-
friendly and scoffing world, to stand
up against goddess companions, to
do the right when the wrong seems
easier, to overcome temptation -
this is the battle that calls for
heroic courage"
Lesson prayer: Help us to enlist
in only worthy causes, displaying
moral courage; help us to fear God

that shows spiritual courage"

v. s. "The book of the law shall
not depart out of thy mouth, but
thou shalt mediate thereon day and
night, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written
therein; for then shalt thou make
thy way prosperous and then shalt
thou have good success" Medita-
ton is the secret Of mastering the
law; this is the mental and spirit
ual process by which we think our
selves into the depths of the Word
of God until we are seized with it's
thoughts and saturated with it's
spirit.
v. 9. "Have I not commanded
thee? Be strong and of good couT-
age; be not affrighted, neither be
thou dismayed; for Jehovah thy
God is with thee whithersoever thou
goest." Canaan had something else
besides milk and honey. The rosy
future must have it's thorns. Ex-
pect occasions for depression and
dismay, but be strong.
v. 1. "And it came to pass after
many days, when Jehovah had CIV
en- rest unto Israel from all their
enemies round about and Joshua
was old and we'll stricken in years.
The credit for victories is, rightly
assigned to the Lord who gave him
strength and courage.
v. IA. "And Joshua said, Behold,
this day I am going the way of all
the earth; and We know in all your
hearts and in all your souls, not
one thing hath failed of all the good
things which Jehovah your God
spake concerning you; all are come
to pass unto you, not one thing
hath failed thereof" Nothing glor-
ifies God more than the sacrifice
of strength for others.
