the amusements and building
shares, and toward noon there was
a furry in the rails.
Even American Telephone was
given some attention following
the statement of President Wal
ter Clifford that the company
was not afraid of the United
States probe. The weak spot last
week, the stock was up points
at one time and held well above
the previous close.
Commodities and bonds were
influenced by the strength in
stocks as the day wore on. Grains
turned higher and the sluggish
rail bonds showed flashes of
strength. United States bonds
were strong throughout, while
the sorely harassed gold cur
rencies improved following this
country's move to help Belgium
stay on gold.
President Roosevelt's demand
in his addresses in the South that
rates be lowered throughout the
country was the new unsettling
influence in the power shares.
Consolidated Gas fell a point to

DISTRICT CONTROL
OF BUDGET URGED
Dahlgren Terrace Citizens Would
Give Power to Com
missionerS.

A resolution asking Congress to re-
move the District budget from control
of the Federal Budget Bureau and to
empower the Commissioners to hold
hearings, instead of Congress, on the
annual appropriation, was passed last
night by the Dahlgren Terrace Citi-
zens' Association.
Members pointed out the Budget
Bureau has too great a control
over the money to be spent by
the District, and the resolution asked
for legislation that would permit the
Commissioners, after hearings are
held by them, to submit to Congress
simply the total sum needed for a
years operation. without making an
itemized account of how the money
would be spent.
Endorsement of The Stars Better
Homes Contest was voted by the as
sociatiOn and a committee of two
members, John H. Williams and w. j.
Weber, was appointed to give strong
support to The Star in the campaign
to improve Washington homes and
afford employment.
In another resolution, the associa-
ton Endorsed the Copeland pure food
and drugs bill. The body also voted
to sponsor neighborhood boys base
ball team, to be known as the Dahl
gren terrace base ball team.
The meeting, held in Crosby S.
Noyes School, Tenth and Franklin

ering until october and was desig-
mated as "past presidents night

L|[|ENTHAL AVOIDS
NEW POWER UNITS
Tells Banks He Will Not
Build Plants to Compete
With Utilities.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 17.-David E.
Lilienthal, director and general coun-
esl of the Tennessee Valley Authority,
said today the authority would not
construct any facilities competing
with existing utilities if it could be
avoided.
1.-THE authority is under duty to
acquire market for its power" d"
Lilienthal told the annual conference
of the National Association Of Mutual
Savings Banks. 1T is authorized to
compete with existing utilities and
for this purpose is expressly empow-
cred to erect duplicate facilities. But
no competing facilities have been con-
structed, and I am authorized to say
that, under its present board, none
will be constructed until every rea-
sonable alternative has been ex-
hauSted"
Iilienthal said avoidance of dupli-
cation of facilities and of territorial
competition and purchase of prep
erty at fair prices were cardinal poll
cies of the Tennessee Valley Author
ity. Our adherence to these policies
should reassure you OF the Authority's
determination TO respect prudent in
vestment in useful property" he said.
Outlines Valley Project.
The speaker outlined the project of
the Authority being launched next
week throughout the valley for in
creasing the use of electricity for do
mestic, rural and industrial purposes.
The project was created by order of
the President and is backed by
s1,000,o00 Of capital and $4,000, 900
of credit, he said.
Creation of an agency known as
the Electric Home and Farm Author
ity will make possible the sale of low
cost appliances to large portion OF
the population which hitherto could
not afford complete electric service in
the home. Lilienthal said.
The Authority is interested not
merely in the expansion of its own
electric sales," Lilienthal explained.
1T is interested in increasing the
consumption of electricity throughout
the South, in disregard of public or
private ownership"
Oppose New Construction.
The Committee on Public Utilities
of the National Association of Mutual
Savings Banks submitted report to
the conference opposing governmental
construction of utility plants which
duplicate those already in existence
and privately owned.
1T is not our function as savings
bankers to oppose governmental de-
velopment' leading toward public
ownership of public utilities" the re-
port said. 1T is, however, our right
and our duty to insist that such action
be accompanied by either the purchase
of existing facilities at fair price
or payment of just compensation for
the resulting loss to bona fide inves-
tors"

The snakes, apparently of
tropical variety and new to this

Agate fossil beds, Capt. John
Cook. owner of a museum here,
announced. They range from a
foot to 8 feet in length.
While Cook expressed no opinion
concerning their origin, other
persons acquainted with the fossil
beds suggested that the eggs had
been hidden deep in the ground
until they recently were brought
to the surface during excavations.
Cook said specimens would be
sent to the university in a few
days.

he attributed to business men and
clerks in the down town section.
A strict enforcement Of the law
results in only making matters
worse, he said, as cars constantly
pull in and out Of parking spaces,
thereby adding to the difficulty.
One double parked automobile, he
said, will delay 10 or 80 people.
It was not the aim of the Com
missioners to interfere with buSi-
ness in any way, the Inspector
said. Many of those protesting
recent restrictions already had
asked for no-parking signs in front
Of their business houses.
