AGREE ON QUIZ

BY International News service
Senator William E. Borah
reached an agreement today with
Dallas w. bort, chief investigator
of the Federal Relief Administra-
ton, on the course of procedure
for an investigation of the Sena-
tors charges of shameful waste"
in the expenditure of Federal re-
lief funds.
Senator Borah laid his charges
before Mr.. bort, stating where he
believed the waste existed. He re-
tanned possession of a mass of
evidence submitted to him from
various States, and said he would
study it further before turning it
over to the Federal investigators.
When their conference ended
Snator Borah told newspapermen:
"There will be no differences
between Mr.. bort, Mr.. Hopkins
and myself in this matter"

New York Report to White
House Finds Sliding Scale
Aids Local Consumers
By EARL GOODWIN

By EARL GOODWIN
Washington's electric light rates
are held up as among the lowest
in the country in report by the
New York Power Authority, COW
ering the st. Lawrence Water
Way Area, and made public at the
White House late yesterday.
The subject is one in which
President Roosevelt is interested,
as it relates not only to the dis
tribution of cheaper power in the
vast area of the st. Lawrence
waterway, but also to such projects
as those in the Tennessee Valley
which the President will inspect
later this week.
Rate Shows Economies
Washington's electric light rate
of 3.9 cents per kilowatt hour is
used to show that the average g.
cents rate in the New York area
surveyed is nearly twice as high
as it would be if certain econo-
mics we're to be effected. Wash
ington is mentioned as a city
where such economies have been
put into effect.
The New York Authority finds
that electricity could be distrib'
uted in their area for 3.5 cents
per kilowatt hour for the first
so hours. Washington's rate is
reported as 3.9 cents, while Chair
man Elgen, in reply to an inquiry,
stated that the average rate for
this city in September was even
loWer-2.42 cents.
count of a sliding scale giving re-
The report made public at the
White House speaks of possible
savings that could be made by
private electric companies which
would make a reduction in the
users bills and then holds up
Washington as a city where such
savings have been effected.
Other cities mentioned are st.
Louis, Portland and Buffalo, the
average monthly bills in these
cities ranging from $1.95 in Wash.
ington and st. Louis to $2.03 in
the other two cities.
Distribution Cost
There has been a strong claim
by the opponents of government
owned power plants that the real
cost of electric power to the homes
is not in the generation of power
by such big dams as the Muscle
Shoals affair, but in the distrib-
uting systems.
The New York Power report
tends to break down that argu-
ment in that it states that private
companies are charging too much
for the distribution of electricity
and that savings can be made.
The savings in the area sur
veyed would amount to reductions
of average monthly bills from SO
to $1.65. Larger savings would
follow increased use; and the re-
port takes great pains to illustrate
the contention that private COM
panies gain by reduced rates
through the great increase in the
use of electricity in the homes
and on the farms.
While the immediate object Of
The report was the electric rates
of New York State, the wording
of the report and the statement
issued at the White House plainly
indicates that the theories are for
national field and that they
will be utilized in the arguments
for an extension of the Tennessee
Valley authority power projects.

This theory was upset when
DR.. Minom found that station

than 80 miles from Boston and
across a small mountain range,

ton. This seems to bear out the
theory that short waves may not

ing good music to Indianapolis,
the Indianapolis Symphony orches-
ira will give its annual spring popu-
lar concert at the Murat theater
May 8, under the direction Of Fer
dinand Schaefer, organizer and

this type given by the organization
and it follows the regular winter

festival concert was free to the pub

A large part of the money intend
ed to pay members of the orchestra,

their years service, is tied up by
banking restrictions. Sponsors OF
the orchestra hope to make up this
deficit in part by the nominal
charge for the spring concert.

partment stores. at the Viking
Music Company, 100 East Ohio; at
Gladys Alwes Music Shop in the
Circle and at the Kirshbaum Center

REDUCE BONDS,
RAILWAYS TOLD
BY ROOSEVELT
Federal Ownership Threat
Renewed as Cabinet
Probe Looms.
ny RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Rail-
roads need no crystal ball to tell
them what lies just ahead now that
the President has decided to take
hand in their affairs.
They need only the Salt Lake City
speech which Mr. Roosevelt deliv-
cred in September, 1882, when he
was campaigning for the presidency.
There he set forth his views on
railroads at great length and
warned railroad arrangements just
what to expect if they didn't set
about housekeeping of their own at
once
Joseph Eastman, federal co-or-
dinator of transportation, who
seems to be moving into the back
ground of the picture with ap-
pointment of a cabinet committee
to survey the problem, did not adj
here closely to the lines of the
Salt Lake City speech in making
his recent report on transportation
The thing Mr.. Roosevelt en-
phasized in his campaign speech
and to which Mr. Eastman devoted
little attention in his report, was
the need for scaling down fixed
charges-in other words, reduction
of interest payments on bonds.
The President proposed that rail-
roads begin this task at once. He
pointed out that more than $11 ,000,-
100000 of railroad bonds are out
standing, nearly $5,000,000,000 of
which are owned by banks and in
surance companies.
Railroad securities in general
must not be allowed to drift into de-
fault" Mr.. Roosevelt said. The dam
age done to savings banks, insur-
ance companies and fiduciary in
situations generally would be toe
great"
He proposed that government
credit be withheld from railroads
which refused to scale down their
fixed charges. Now that railroads
almost have stopped borrowing from
the RFC, he has had to provide him.
self with another weapon, and he
has found it in the threat of gov
eminent ownership. The President
has made it clear, however, that he
looks to this only as a last resort.
A heavy percentage of railroad
