TT follows that any schedule of

ton for reduction of 10 per cent on
the face of the bills to be rendered
should be calculated to yield 10 per

ice. excluding private branch exchange
service, than would be yielded in
like period by the present rates.
"No Compromise"
Il would object to any effort to dis
tribute the reduction fixed by the court
to any other class Of service than that
affected by the commissions initial
order. There is no possibility of ad-
justments or compromise on the
amounts heretofore accrued to the GUS
toners under order No. 1912 These
amounts should be distributed precisely
in the manner fixed in the decree of
the Supreme Court of the District Of
Columbia. Inasmuch as the amounts
involved can be determined by accurate
computation OF actual experience of
the company, there Is no occasion for
any adjustment. In this respect it
differs from the reductions under
future rates which should be de-
termined on the basis of prospective
earnings II there Is to be departure
from the 10 per cent of the bill method
used in order No. 1912 If any adjust
ments are made in the schedule of
rates for the future, the amount of
departure from 10 per cent of the
bill, as to each customer and class of
customers, should be as little as pos
sible and should be no more change
than is required to prostate the rates
of the company.
Urges Immediate Cut.
I'm view of the great amount of
work which will be required in the
future. it seems to me that the COM
pany should unqualifiedly dismiss its
appeal at once and proceed to the
distribution Of excess collections and
reduction of rates Immediately. If we
are required to complete the work of
bringing this appeal before the United
States Court Of Appeals. can see no
reason for not prosecuting our cross
appeal to the limit.
Furthermore, it Is to be assumed
that in the present investigation of the
rates for depreciation, full significance
will be attached to the decision of
the lower court holding rates of past
accruaS to be excessive"

PHILADELPHIA, November 21.-
Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler said to-
day the story Of purported plan to
set up a Fascist dictatorship in the
United States was brought into the
open by the congressional Committee
on Un-American Activities and not
by him.
Contrary to belief, I did not rush to
New York to create a rumpus. My
name had been linked with so many
rackets before that I considered them
as joke until this proposition came
to lead move for a dictatorship"
said the retired Marine Corps officer
at his home in nearby Newtown
| Square.
That gave the matter a serious
complexion, and then came the sub
poena from the House committee.
Il was subpoenaed last Sunday" he
said today. Prior to that time I did
not communicate with the committee
in any way, and the only persons I
ever spoke to about the matter were
, several newspaper men, intimate
friends.
Racket societies have been using
my name to raise money for supposed
great patriotic causes The commit
tee was tracing number of trails
that either led to me or had my
name linked with them.
"As result they subpoenaed me,
and, under oath, I told them all I
knew. I am not in position to re-
veal any of that testimony.
There are a number of witnesses
to follow me and the committee men,

to Hanford MacNider, former COM
mander of the American Legion. The
names of Louis johnson and Henry

WEISS ABDUCTION
SEARCH NARROWS
Authorities Fear He Was
Slain in Default of
100000 Ransom.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November al
Search for the kidnapers of William
Weiss, night life character whose dis
appearance was kept secret by his
family for "a days, narrowed down to
definite suspects today amid mounting
fear that he was slain in default of
100000 ransom.
While l6 ACE" investigators of the
United States Department of Justice
combed the underworld for clues. r.
George Harvey, Justice Department
head here disclosed he was following
definite trail.
Asked if he had any particular
suspects in mind, he replied:
Yes, but I would rather not answer
that question more fully at present"
Progress Is Made.

made and We have some general idea
as to whom we are looking for
AS to the growing belief that Weiss
was killed by his "snatchers." Harvey

Harvey answered the queries of

operation Of city detectives early to-
day. Two crack city men were as
signed to the case in which the
Federal men had been playing a
lone hand since the mystery kidnap-
ing was first made known Sunday
night
Yesterday j. Edgar Hoover, chief
OF the Bureau of Investigation, said
at Washington it was an under
world case and that he would take
personal charge of it. Fifty men were
reported ready to join the hunt if
Weiss was not found soon.
Denies Asking Jury Action.
After a conference with United
States Attorney Charles S. McAvoy,
Harvey denied he had asked grand
jury action. but said McAvoy prom
ised close cooperation.
Fears that Weiss. who vanished out
side his home on the night of October
26, had been slain by his abductors
arose from the fact that his family
had been without word from the kid
napers for two weeks.
The last contact was on November
when agents said a gruff-voiced
man called on the telephone and
asked Mrs. Weiss if she got the let
ter" He hung up when she answered
in the negative.
A letter, believed by the family to
have been writer by Weiss but mis-
addressed, arrived a week later. No.
vember 13. 1t contained instructions
on delivery of the ransom.
Abducted October rs.
Three men seized Weiss, Al, and
father of three, at his attractive home
III suburban Overlook Hills and
forced him into their automobile on
the night of October 26, the Federal
men quote his family as saying.
The abduction, they said. was wit
messed from an upper floor window
by Mrs. johnson, employed by
Weiss as child's nurse.
Just around the corner from the
Weiss home is the former residence
of Mickey Duffey, whose Staying in
an Atlantic City hotel four years ago
was said by detectives to be "un-
doubtedly &" result of attempt
ing to protect Weiss from other
shake downs"
Reports that Weiss was associated
with Max boo Boo) Hoff were dis
counted today. Hoff, now managing
boxers on the Pacific Coast, denied
knowledge of Weiss affairs and
scoffed at rumors he went West to
escape the fate later visited on Weiss.

The relief head defended his right

the time being at least, McCarl's

The McCarl ruling was placed in
the hands of Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman today by Commits
sioner Allen with instructions to see
If there is any foundation in facts in
the case on which to ask McCarl for a
reconsideration.
Allen also indicated he has in mind
an appeal to Congress for special
act authorizing use of the money
should he fail of success in another
move to get the fund clear of the Nc
Carl legal barricade He would make
| no definite statement on this today
| however.
Allen. after receiving the approval
of Hopkins for his housing plan. had
specifications prepared for 146 hous-
| ing units, and had obtained verbal
agreements for the sites, said to be
| in the northeast section of the Dis
| trict.
Unit Cost S2,695.
Each unit of the three-room and
bath dwellings were calculated to
cost $2,69510. Allen figured the cost
would be -liqUidating, to be amor
tized over a period OF so years.
! McCarl, in rendering an adverse
decision on the use of the money for
the housing plan, quoted from the
District law of 1877 to show the Dis
trict could acquire real estate only
for school and municipal purposes. u
District officials perused this old
| law today to find that the law was
| enacted a year before the present
and permanent form of District gov
ernment was established. They stated
| further that the 1877 law was a tax
measure and not legislation of lasting
| nature.
The complete section of the law
quoted by McCarl, they said, reads:
THAT the corporation of the District
of Columbia is continued for all the
purposes of this act and other acts
for the collection of taxes, for suing
| and being sued, for causes arising
prior to June 20, 1874, and for acquir-
ing and holding real estate for school
and municipal purposes.
To show this was not permanent
legislation" District officials quoted
the enacting clause of the 1877 law

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, November 81.
The Tennessee Valley Authority to-
day authorized construction of a
$22, ,000, 900 navigation and flood con-
troll dam on the Tennessee River near
Pickwick Landing in Southwestern
Tennessee.
Provision will be made for later pow
er installation. which will consist of
six units of kilowatt capacity,
or total Of 204 900 kilowatts.
The Pickwick' Dam site is located
about 8 miles upstream from Shiloh
Battlefield and about 10 miles north
Of the State line juncture of Missis-
sippi. Alabama and Tennessee.
1t is the third dam to be built by
the Authority in its program for a
unified development of the Tennessee
Basins water resources.
Two Under Construction.
Two power dams are now under con-
Struction-the $34,000.000 Norris Dam
on the Clinch River in East Tennessee
and the $38 900 600 Joe Wheeler Dam
on the Tennessee River in Alabama, Is
miles above Muscle Shoals
Pickwick Dam, Carl A. Book. assist
ant chief engineer, announced. will
have an overall length of 7.7l0 feet
nearly IL miles. This includes two
earth dam sections, one on the north
bank 1,035 feet long and one on the
south bank 1850 feet long. The middle
section will be of concrete. The height
Of the concrete dam from foundation
to top will be 103 feet
Lock Lift Sets Record.
The navigation lock, 900 feet long
by 1l0 feet wide, will have the highest
single lift in the world, namely, 81
feet. and will provide a minimum nav
igable depth of feet. Designs for the
lock are being prepared by the Nash
vile district Office of the United States
Army Engineers.
The dam will form a lake approx
imately So miles long, backing up to
the foot Of Wilson Dam. The storage
reservoir will cover an area of about
rs square miles and have a maximum
capacity of 1,035 900 acre feet.
Without a power house. the dam is
estimated to cost $4,000 900 and prob
ably will be completed within three
years
THE Pickwick project is of great
Importance to navigation" Book said
With Norris and Wheeler Dams in
operation and the completion of Pick
wick. 7foot navigation channel will
be available from the mouth of the
Tennessee River at Paducah, KY. tc
Guntersville, Ala. a distance of 35S
miles. The Pickwick Dam will elm
mate the interruption to navigation
at Sheffield and Colbert Shoals in
Alabama, where a 9-foot channel will
be provided.
The Pickwick reservoir also will
provide a measure of flood control.
the T. V. A. engineer added. "A To-
foot depth in the reservoir at the spill
way elevation gives a storage capacity
which could be used to advantage fol-
reducing food crests along the lower
river"
The T. " A. pointed out that while
the dam is not now needed for power
production, it will be constructed sc
power installation can be made when
needed.
