Names Committee to Ob.

Rates in United States
By HARRY w. SHARPE

WASHINGTON, July 16. CUP
President Roosevelt moved last
night to obtain cheaper electricity
for every person in the United
States and simultaneously notiE.nr
the big power companies their
rates were going to be equalizeo
under new federal power regula.
tons.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was en-
route to Hawaii, the White House
made public an executive letter,
creating a national power policy
committee" headed by Secretary
of the Interior Harold lckeS
which said:
"The committees duty will be
to develop a plan for closer CO.
operation of the several factorS
of our electrical power supply
both public and private-whereby
national policy in power matters
may be unified and electricity be
made more broadly available at
cheaper rates to industry, to do
nestle and, particularly, to agri-
cultural consumers"
The committee will function
under the public works admins
tration which Ickes, as interior
secretary, heads. Members, in ad-
dition to Ickes, include Frank K.
McNinch of the federal power
commission.
Creation of the committee was
the presidents second major step
in a program for unifying all the
nations power resources. His trst
was a nationwide survey of wa
terways and their relation to n.y.
dro-electric development and Hood
control, a project he outlined IN
a message to the last congress. In
this connection Mr.. Roosevelt, on
his return to the Pacific coast
from his Caribbean cruise, will
visit several huge federal power
projects under construction IN
Washington and Montana.
Mr.. Roosevelt since his inaugu-
ration has been demanding cheap
err electricity as a part of his
"more abundant life" program
for the people. The Tennessee
Valley Authority was created and
it put the government in the pow
er business, brought sharp reduc-
tions in power rates and virtually
eliminated competition in the vast
southern area.
Upon the success of the IVA
program the president based his
plane for the entire nation, but
pointed out that the government
would not infringe on state rights.

Our fanciful dreams of a con-
crete dam having crumbled into
dust and the dust having floated
down stream, it is time that we
turn our best thoughts to con-
structive measures in connection
with anything the Tennessee Val.
ley Authority might have in mind
in the French Broad valley.
We must remember that we cre-
ated and fehearsed our own ghost
stories until We became frighten-
ed at our own creations. The IVA
has talked cooperation for each
community in which it proposes
to make developments.
Why has not the psychological
moment arrived, while we are
worked up on the subject, to talk
in terms of agricultural and in
dustrial development, for which
the French Broad Valley is well
adapted?
The IVA is talking of potteries
in various sections. Could not our
fine clay deposits be used to adj
vantage?
Could We not more fully real
ize on our fine limestone deposits
and by a more liberal use of the
same increase production on our
fertile but somewhat sour acres?
Why not a small creamery or
cheese plant in the French Broad
valley?
Since our farmers have already
resorted to vegetables more than
in former years, why could we not
to advantage establish a pickle
plant in the valley?

She refused, however, to pose with her arm around him. The impasse was solved by the simple expedient of having Jessel put his arm around the former screen star.
 Miss Talmadge did not explain just what was the difference.
 q don't know when. or where we will be married" she told the press assembled in her hotel suite.
 .'I may leave in day or two for my home in Florida. I don't expect MT. Jessel to- come down. would like to be married in Flor ida, or if we go abroad, in Rome"
 ''Is 1t an engagement ring?"@ said an interviewer pointing to the massive diamond. X

MILITIA READY
 TOSTOP RIOTS
Three Companies to Be Rushed Into Fields
 of Alabama

Birmingham, April 19-(UP)-- Seven companies of militia were held under arms ready for instant action today as authorities antici- pated further trouble in the Ala bama coal fields where 21,000 mi ners are on strike in an effort to force operators to abide by an MIRA wage increase order.
 Southern industralists departed for their homes after mapping a campaign to maintain wage differ entials"-lower wages in the south than those paid in the north in any given industry.
 Mine operators awaited anxiously for action which they hope will re- lieve them of the obligation to to obey the MIRA order.
 The strike closed down all but four of the states 65 mines when operators obtained temporary federal injunction restraining au- thorities from prosecuting them for failure to effect the wage in- creases.
 Hearing on the finality of the in- Junction will be held in federal court today.
 Y More than 250 leaders. in south ern industry assembled here yes- terday at a meeting of the south ern industrial council. Plans for a campaign to preserve the principle of a wage differential were mapped. First bloodshed in the strike was recorded yesterday when. ne- gro was wounded as he attempted to enter mine of Red Diamond Coal Co.,. near Leeds. Shortly af- terward, another negro, was killed by police when he allegedly re- sisted them. One bullet from the police volley struck Gordy Bice, unemployed miner, in the abdomen.

BISHOP CANNON
 TOOK THE STAND
Begins to Tell Story of How He Fought
 Al Smith

Washington, April 19-(UP)- The story of how he raised a pri- vate war chest to combat the pres- idential candidacy of Alfred E. Smith was told to a jury today by Bishop James Cannon, Jr, on trial on charges of conspiring to violate the corrupt practices act.
 Brushing aside questions of his lawyer, Cannon testified in his own fashion. Frequently he was warned by the court to confine himself to pertinent facts. Cannon said he at tended every convention of the two major political parties from 1920 to 1892.
 q fought the candidacy of Gov ernor Smith in 1924" Cannon said. After he failed to get the nom- ination that year I realized that he probably would get it in 1928. I made a speed in Washington in which I predicted the nomination of Governor Smith in 1928 and told of the necessity to organize to fight a wet cocktail president.
 1T also realized that the church. es would have to lead this fight and as churchman realized that much of the personal leadership would devolve upon me. The thing we would need. I realized, was money. Accordingly went to the Bank of Crew, Va, and borrowed $5,000. Then, on a house which l owned here in Washington, bor- rowed $4,000 more."

TROTzKY SEEKS
 HOME IN TURKEY
Will Be Escorted to the Border, When He Starts
 on Journey

Paris, April 19.-(UP)-Leon Trotzky, exiled Russian war lord, has asked permission to return to Turkey and is awaiting visa to comply with the French govern ment's expulsion order against him, his entourage announced to- day. Trotzky. 1t was added, was ready to start as soon as a visa was granted. There seemed some fear in the minds of Trotzky's aides whether Turkey would con- sent to his return. It was from little Prinkipo island off the Turk ish coast that Trotzky went to France, obtaining permission by saying he needed medical attention.
 Trotzky's black limousine was hidden behind shrubbery in the villa garden, ready for a fast get away. It was planned that the secret police should escort Trot- zky to whatever frontier he de- parted for. TrotEky is charged with indulging in revolutionary propaganda which included the fomenting of world wide disorders. His one regret, his aides said, was that in Barbizon he was complet- ing a book on Lenin, his co-dic- tator In the early days of Soviet Russia, which he. will have to give up for a while.
