MEXICO CITY, March l3.-The dis
covery and exploration Of . l2-century-
old capital Of the Mayan empire, whose
ruins were described as being fabulously
rich. were reported yesterday by En-
rique Juan Palacios, an Archeologist
in the department Of education.
Senor Palacios was sent to the ruins,
those of Calakmul, about q month ago
when scientists of the Carnegie In
stitute reported the discovery Of the
ancient city to the federal govern
ment.
One Of Oldest.
Calakmul, Palacios said, Is one Of the
Oldest and perhaps the largest Of the
ancient Mayan capitals found IN the
Mayan Peninsula.
Because dense jungle growth impedes
the work Of exploration, the archeolo-
g1st reported, 1t Is impossible to deter
mine the true extent Of the remains,
but he said he saw IS pyramids and
q large number of obelisks, together
with hundreds Of pillars and slabs Of
stone forming . labyrinth Of smaller
structures.
The date on one Of the larger pillars
was March IA. 731, A. D. when trans
lated into the modern system Of
reckoning time, Palacios asserted.
He said the carving on the pyramids
and obelisks was Of exquisite and ex-
pert design and workmanship.
South Of Campeche.
The ruins are about 231 miles south
Of the city Of Campeche, in an en-
tirely uninhabited region. and are ex-
tremely difncult to reach. Palacios ex-
pressed the opinion that the city was
one Of those reported by Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh when he made an ex-
ploration flight over that stretch of
jungle three years ago.
Leaders of the Carnegie expedition
who have been excavating at Chiche-
nitza, Yucatan, have sought Calakmul
as the site Of an older Mayan civih-
zation.
The Mayans were . wandering tribe,
and frequently abandoned well-built
cities when they wanted to move On
and lay out q new community In the

FLORENCE, Ala, March l3.-The
Tennessee Valley today beams In ex-
pectancy Of early congressional action
to transfer its fertile lowlands. potent
hills and historic waterway into the
proving ground of President Roosevelt's
offensive weapon in the war against
depression-economic planning.
Conceived by the President with the
stated purpose to remove forever the
scourge Of unemployment from America
through rebalancing of the national
population between cities and rural
sections. the gigantic attack on sd-
verse economic forces would deploy on
four major fronts-development of hy-
droelectric power, navigation, flood con-
troll and reforestation and reclamation.
intelligent Planning.
Mr.. Roosevelt's vision of providing
jobs for 100000 he described as an ex-
pertinent in intelligent planning FORE
running similar undertakings in other
sections Of the country.
At Warm Springs. Ga, early in Feb
ruary shortly after inspecting the $780,
100000 Government hydroelectric and
nitrate-making properties at Muscle
Shoals, the then President-elect revealed
his Tennessee plan, and scanned maps
OF the Ohio Valley, Arkansas Valley, the
Miami River in Ohio. and the Columbia
River Basin Of the Northwest, in the
light Of adaptability for like projects.
Reasons for Selection.
He said he selected the Tennessee
watershed, draining parts of Virginia,
West Virginia, Tennessee. North and
South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Kentucky. for many rea-
SONS. principally because Of its wide
range Of physical conditions, life and
climate. The climate Is relatively mild,
life flows with no great haste among
people who have q singular talent for
living. and in the physical properties
the President proposes to deal with an
area possessing fundamental natural re-
sources in such proximity as found in
few other regions Of the world.
Symbolism Of Power.
Hydro-electric potentiality naturally
Is the spine Of the proposed Government
The irascible old
river itself embodies q vivid symbolism
of dormant power as 1t weaves through
the heart Of the Southland.
Army engineers after extensive sur
veys have placed on their maps 10 huge
power units, capable Of more than s.

waters Of the river basin. including its
tributaries The ultimate system, as
shown In studies Of the Army engineers,
includes 149 hydroelectric develop
ments, all co-ordinated. Under the as
sumption the entire cost Of the COM
bined system for navigation, power de-
velopment and flood controls would be
charged to power, except the cost Of
locks, barge Lifts and channel work,
Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief Of Engi-
neers, In q report to the Secretary Of
War March Is, 1880, set forth that the
system could produce about 5000, 900
kilowAtts of firm power under q so per

posed experiment comes down to him
from the World War. In the giant

For . decade and more the wartime
project has been . battle ground Of
conflicting policies, as to whether the
Government or private capital should

other battle on the fringes Of the water
way-one against the besetting eco
nomic ills periodically occurring
wherever a people have offered their
labor for the material requirements Of

rage Of the Catholic Princess and
orthodox King, the Pope had exacted

mother who shares comedy honors
with Cagney. Other favorite players

Jimmy is the big noise behind the
exploitation of marathon dances,
eighteen day diets, treasure hunts
and reducing creams which furnish
the comedy material bearing the
trademark of Cagneys punch. That
the life of a press agent is not all
milk and honey Jimmy finds out in
the many exciting and funny in

by Mervyn Leroy, who achieved
success by his handling of Five
