COIN FOR dam
Aerial Survey Was Fore
cast in Late Knoxville
Conference
CARL BOOK REVEALS
NATURE OF TASK

Information brought to Hem
Jacksonville on Thursday, May 8,
by a group Of city and county Of
ficials and citizens that an aerial
survey would soon be made Of
the French Broad river valley by
the Tennessee Valley Authority.
was borne out today when an
nouncement was made that the
survey is underway.
News dispatches today from
Washington also gave credence to
the belief of many persons that a
huge dam is to be constructed on
the French Broad river near
Asheville, thus creating a huge
storage basin for water to be util-
lied in the gigantic electric pow
err project Of the IVA. A total
of $48,000,000 for construction
Of two dams in Western North
Carolina was allotted yesterday by,
the national house Of representa-
tives in its passage Of the de-
ficiency appropriations bill, the
other dam to be constructed near
Murphy.
After a trip to Knoxville n
month ago, the local group quoted
DR.. A. E. Morgan, head Of TVAs
as saying that Henderson county
had nothing to fear with respect
to the construction of the French
Broad dam, but that an aerial
survey would soon be made in
line with announced plans for
preparing data on the possible de-
velopment Of the valley. Should
the dam eventually be construct
ed, he said, the IVA will work in
cooperation rather than in con-
f1ict with local interests.
In an article today, quoting
Carl Book, assistant chief engi-
neer and secretary to the board
of IVA, as saying that the aerial
survey had been started, the
Asheville Citizen points out that
the areas now being surveyed are
two of four included in the con-
tinuation Of the economic and So
cial planning project of the IVA.
The other areas are at the mouth
of Little Tennessee river and near
Muscle Shoals, Ala. The house
yesterday passed the deficiency
appropriations bill allowing new
allotment of millions for IVA de-
velopment, $124,000,000 Of which
will be expended on four dams, it
was explained. The bill yet must
face action in the senate.
These dams with their estimat-
ed ultimate cost were listed by
DR.. Arthur E. Morgan, IVA
chairman, as follows: Aurora,
mar the mouth of Little Tennes-
see river, S42,000,000; Pickwick.
near Muscle Shoals, Ala, $780,
100000; French Broad, in the
valley of the French Broad, be-
tween Asheville and the Murphy
area, $30,000,000; and Hiawas-
see, in the Murphy area, $13,000,-
900. It was explained that a part
of the funds probably will 60 also

Many Dogs Being
Poisoned In City
Mayor Calls Attention That
Act Is Illegal

Mayor A. V. Edwards this
morning declared that city au-
thorities had received numerous
complaints recently relative to
the poisoning of dogs in the city.
The mayor pointed out that it
is illegal for. persons to deliber-
ately put out poisoned food for
the purpose of destroying dogs
and he declared that he prefer
red to believe that the poisoning
of a number of dogs was uninten-
tional. He declared. however,
that he wished to caution people
about throwing out articles of
food that are liable to poison
dogs.
Many of the dogs poisoned
were valuable to their owners,
he said, both as blooded animals
and as favored pets.

Storm Skirts M anila Relief Rushed to Strick=
 en Areas

Manila, P. l., Nov 15.-lUP)-- A typhoon spread destruction and suffering over the southern part of the island of Luzon to-day, ievel- ing homes, flooding rice fields and driving shipping and fishing craft to shelter.
 Winds reached a velocity of 80 miles an hour as they ripped through Camarines Sur Province, which, with Tayabas, Samar, and Leyte provinces appeared to be hardest hit.
 The town of Naga in Camarines Sur was cut off from communica- tions. It was feared there was some loss of life from high wa ters there and elsewhere in the affected area.
 Manila was drenched as the storm moved toward the Philip pines metropolis. The typhoon, is expecetd to pass northward be- yond the city where the winC reached a maximum velocity of AS miles an hour.
 Giant waves smashed three piers and grounded a small ship al Legaspi, Albay province. The liner President Lincoln, advised by radio, took shelter in the lee oi Mariveles Island, where the French warship Primauguet also anchored.
 As reports of heavy damage trickled in over a crippled com. munications system, Governor General Frank Murphy hastily convened the special relief com mittee appointed after the October storms. Railroad service north and south of Manila was suspend cd.

 Another witness, Les Wright, or Sprague street, Waterville, Who could not be located by authorities this morning, is said to have seen Muir tinkering with the motor or his car when he drove by snortiy before the tragedy this morning.

BRITISH FASCIST LEADER ON TRIAL
 IN POLICE COURT
Sir Oswald M O. sley is Charged With 'RiOtous
 Assembly"

Worthing, England, Nov 15.-- (UP)-Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the black-shirt British fascists. and three followers were commit ted to trial in police court today on a charge of ''riotous assembly" after a fascist meeting at Worth ing on October 9.
 All four were allowed bail. They were also charged with assault.
 The case lasted four days, dur ing which 30 witnesses testified. The prosecution alleged that after the meeting "fascists, led by the four accused, walked up and down, violently assaulting inoffensive and law-abiding citizens"
 The prosecution also alleged that Mosley, referring to the crowd, said, "They haven't got the guts to stand up to us."
 An astonishing passage of arms occurred when --the prosecutor asked Mosley:
 DO you really suggest that this prosecution was brought about by the government"
 q believe it was brought about by political considerations" Sir Oswald replied.
 All four pleaded not guilty and testified they had merely defended themselves against an angry mob.
 Mosley's fascist movement, modelled somewhat on Hitler lines, has engrossed the English public for more than year and has re- suited in various riotous demon- strations, notably the recent one in Albert hall. London. A hand- some, towering aristocrat of six feet four inches, Mosley has a con- siderable following, although in- formed sources doubt the many thousands he claims. He is relat- ed by marriage to the Letter fam. lily of Chicago.

MUNITIONS MUST
 BE CONTROLLED
National Grange Also Urges $4l.34 Price For
 Gold at Convention

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 15-(UP) recommending gov- ernment control of munitions. rais- ing the price of gold to $41.34 an ounce and opposing reduction of agricultural appropriations, were among the scores stacked up at national grange convention head quarters today and prepared for presentation to the delegates earyl next wek.
 The convention, in it's second day settled into a routine nature today with exception of the scheduled address of M. L. Wilson, assistant secretary of agriculture, later in the day.
 At least five of the resolutions demanded "profits be taken out Of war; and passage of legislation for federal control of manufacture and the placing of an embargo on sales to other nations. They were submitted by Erwin King, Seattle, Washn.; George Sehlmeyer, Sac- ramento, Calif.; D. B. Anderson, Moore, s. A.; Raymond w. Gill, Portland, Ore; and George H. B. Bramble, Lansing, Mich.
 They were submitted within g few hours after National Master Louis J. Taber, in his keynote speech, declared i've should de- mand legislative steps that in case of another conflict, the profit shall be taken out of the manufacture of munitions and armaments and that members of congress, cabinet and high officials sould not hold their positions and at the same time hold stock in munitions com panies.'' .,
 The recommendation to further incerase the godl price to its le- gal limit was submitted as means of bringing continued increases Tn the prcies of basic commodities:
 In view of Taber's approval or both these suggestions it was an- ticipated the convention would take favorable action.
 It was also suggested the secrecy clauses in federal and state in- come tax laws be abolished; max imum development of natural re- sources; conscription of wealth in times of war and preservation of wild life.
 Grange reports were received from l.. c. Sloan. Arkansas; George Sehemeyer, California; Harry A. Caton, Ohio, and Fred Brenckman. Washington, D. C., was scheduled to report on the sixth degree to- night.
