POWER TRUST.
CHARGES TVA
ILLEGAL

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 GN.S).
Terming the Tennessee Valley
Authority and similar projects
unconstitutional, the electric
power interests Of the nation
today launched open, organized
warfare against President Roose-
velt's power program, featuring
construction Of vast power plants
to sell electricity at cheap rates
to consumers in large areas.
The Edison Electric Institute,
an association representing 80
per cent Of the country's electric
power interests, scored the Ad.
ministration's power programs as
unfair and threatened to appeal
to the courts. It's attack followed
the Presidents statement that in
every state in the Union, com
munities would follow the example
Of Tupelo, Miss, the first city to
contract for all its power from
iva.
Test Demanded
The Institutes opposition was
voiced by Thomas N. McCarter,
president of the Institute and
head of the Public Service Cor.
poration of New Jersey. Mr.. Nc
Carter said he had obtained from
Newton D. Baker, former Secre'
tary Of War, and James M. Beck,
former Solicitor General, joint
legal opinion declaring the iva
legislation to be "palpably un'
constitutional"
Mr.. McCarter said he had re-
tanned Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Beck
entirely on his own initiative be
cause he felt the Government &C
tivity in the utility field was
causing great public anxiety and
required immediate action" He
reported his actions to trustees
of the institute at their last meet
ing on November is and they i'm
mediately passed resolutions call
ing for a test in the courts Of the
legality of IVA and authorizing
officers of the institute to take
"any necessary steps" to bring
about a prompt adjudication and
settlement of the matters in con
troversy."
Hits Competition
A resolution adopted by the
board of trustees accused the Ad
ministration inferentially of using
public funds to destroy by com
petitive construction and opera
tion the existing investments OF
private capital in public utility
enterprises"
Mr.. McCarter said Mr.. Baker
and Mr.. Beck had found the TVA
particularly illegal in forcing
sales of property of private util
tiles under threats of gifts anc
loans to municipalities" He de
clared:

n { v DEALERS
SPL|T.OVER
POLICIES
BY FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

Frantic haste with which the
New Deal rushed into print to deny
there was any conflict between
Secretary of the Interior Harold
IckeS and Federal Housing Admin
istrator James A. Moffett is taken
by Washington observers as an
indication of the desire of the Ad-
ministration to prevent the coun-
try from getting the idea that
there is any serious difference Of
opinion among the President and
his advisers.
Despite that desire, and despite
the fact that Mr.. Ickes and Mr..
Moffett rushed out a joint state
ment from the White House to
the effect that they are as peace
full as two lambs, there is a gen
eral belief that "all Is not quiet
along the Potomac"
Other Clashes Loom
That doesn't mean that Secre-
tary Ickes and Mr.. Moffett may
not be getting along all right to-
gether; but, even if they are, they
are only two Of the many person
alities in the New Deal.
Other seekers Of the more
abundant life" are not by any
means united upon the best
method of attaining their OBJ
jective.
There are at least a half dozen
spots within the Administration
where personalities and policies
are clashing.
The first to show up was the
clash between Mr.. Moffett and
Mr.. Ickes. That may die down
for few days in the face Of the
urgent manner in which the
White House acted when the rift
was made public. (And no one
should get the idea that Assistant
Secretary to the President Early
was acting on his own initiative
in getting Mr.. Ickes and Mr..
Moffett together, because the
White House telephone bill Tor
Georgia calls would tell a differ
ent StoryO
Cabinet May Clash
There are, as a matter Of fact,
much more serious and much
more difficult situations brewing.
Mr.. Moffett is not member OF
the Cabinet and his thoughts on
MIR. Ickes and Mr.. 1ckes' thoughts
on Mr.. Moffett did not constitute
q dispute among the Presidents
official family"
The real trouble within the
New Deal, however, does lie within
the Presidents official family"
1t may not ever break out, or 1t
may break out when the newly
elected Congress convenes in Jaau'
ary. There isn't any question, in
the mind of official Washington,
that all is not well within the
ranks of the Cabinet.
There have been several differ
ent alignmentS. Some of them
have been on the basis Of prior
political alignmentS (for it should
be borne in mind that not all Of
the Presidents Cabinet are of the
same political inclinationS), some
Of the alignments have been be-
cause of inter-office jealousy, and
some of them have been based on
the purely human inability Of one
person to get along with another.
The White House has tried per-
sistently to convey the impression
that these differences did not ex.
ist. Never has it tried mo e per.
sistently than in the Ickes-Moffett
matter.
It will try harder in the future.
And it will not be so successful, &C
cording to the consensus of Wash.
ington opinion.

PROSPECTS ARE
GOOD FOR ROAD
UP THE RIVER
Connecting Link Presents No
Construction Difficulties; Ex-
pect to Lay Plans Before Gov.
and Highway Head f..

Preliminary survey, together with
an estimate of the cost of construction
were promised by Duke Simpson, dis
trict highway engineer, when a conn
mittee from the Sam B. Hill every
day in the year highway association
interviewed him this week. The COM
mittee, under the craftsmanship of n
S.Hughes of the local chamber of COM
merce, and consisting of Geo. Chase,
of White Bluffs, Mark Austin, of
Sunnyside and Robert Mcdonald iof
Hanford, were appointed at the or
ganization meeting held at Wenatchee
Wednesday of this week.
Road enthusiasts who have cover
ed the proposed route, are of the
opinion that the connecting link on
this side of the river from White
Bluffs to Vantage would be shorter
and of much less expense in con-
struction than one built on the east
side of the river and are in high hope
of having the highway department
approve of the project.
Arrangements are being made to
interview the governor and Lacy
Murrow, chief engineer of the states
highway department, when they come
into the valley this week end. The
advantages and necessity for the con-
struction of this connecting link will
be urged and it is hoped to secure an
emergency appropriation which will
permit the early construction of the
road.
The matter was presented to the To-
cal chamber of commerce this noon by
H. S. Hughes, chairman Of the cham
ber's roads committee.

The new permamant registration
law went into effect in incorporated
communities last fall. Under the new
law the books do not close until fif-
teen days before an election. Outside
the city limits, the new law does not
take effect until Jan. 1, 1886 and so
the registration books for these pre-
cincts are now closed until after the

No Ban on Kids Attending
Big Fair at Yakima Now

There is no reason, says DIR. Lloyd
Moffitt, city-county health officer,
and Ralph Shirley, president of the
Yakima county medical society, tina.
the Yakima fair, dated Thursday 10
Sunday of this week, should be aband-
oned, if reasonable precautions are
taken against spread of infantile
paralysis.
Health authorities believe the grad
ual decreas in the number of cases in
dictates the epidemic has been reach
ed. Cooler weather, too, has helped
curb the disease. Persons attending
the fair, they maintain, will be TAX
ing no. greater chance than strolling
the crowds of city or town.
Drs. Moffitt and Shirley point out
that streets and roadways at the fair
grounds should be well sprinkled to
quell dust. This will be thoroughly
done. The fair crowds of the open air,
on-the-move type, will seldom con-
gregate in groups for any length OF
time. There is no wish on the part
of the fair management to urge juve-
nile attendance with emphasis. For
those who do attend, however, every
possible effort will Be exerted' for
their best welfare.

COUNTY SCHOOLS
CUT OPERATING
TO Low POINT
Five Districts to Run Next Year
Under Ten Mill Limit; Two to
Call Special Elections; Dis
tricts in Good Shape

Five Benton county school districts
will operate on tax levies lower than
10 mills in the 1934-1935 term and
two will call for special elections for
additional millages, Olaf Stradwold,
superintendent announced this week.
A small district east of Kennewick
will have the lowest, three mills, but
no school will be held there and all
pupils will be transported to Kenne-
wick. The three mills will be levied to
pay the cost of hauling the children.
Kennewick's proposed expenditures
cannot be raised without levy of IL
mills and the directors will call for
the voters authority to assess an adj
ditional two mills in an election to
be held September %. On the same
date, Hanford patrons will vote on
AN additional five mill proposal. If
the levies are approved Kennewick
will have $53,67S for the term and
Hanford will have $9000.66.
Richland is the only high school
district which will operate on fewer
than ten mills, as the directors pre-
pared a budget calling for only nine
mills. Others having low millages are
Horse Heaven, six mills; Plymouth,
eight mills and Rattlesnake, five mills.
Districts in Benton county which
do not have high schools will be re-
quired to devote one and half mills
to the high school fund. The budget
review committee, headed by Strand
void and containing Mrs. B. E. Nc
Gregor Of Prosser, E. C. Smith Of
Kennewick and Fred Gilhuly Of White
Bluffs, met today to go over the pro-
posed expenditures in the 20 districts.

PREDICTS OCEAN
BOATS DOCKING
AT KENNEWICK
Alderdale Man Says North Bank
Highway Completion is Inn
pOrtant Step in Development
of Inland Area

That Kennewick is destined to be-
come seaport, with oceangoing ves-
sells loading at the local docks is the
prediction made by E. S. Warren of
Alderdale this noon at the chamber
of commerce luncheon. Mr.. Warren
came here to urge a more active cam
paign in the matter of securing the
completion of the North Bank High
way.
Mr.. Warren said that word had
been received this morning that sea-
locks had been decided upon at the
Bonneville dam and that similar locks
were assured at The Dalles when the
development of the river had pro-
crossed to that point. In the lat
ter case, he said, the improvement
would permit oceangoing vessels to
load at the Kennewick docks and in
effect this would become world sea-
port:
Acre for acre, Mr.. Warren pointed
out, this Inland Empire was the big
gest producing secion in the whole
world and would one day become i'm
mensely prosperous. With water level
transportation, the matter of getting
our produce to the world markets
would become greatly simplified and
the advantages offered in this local
ity would attract settlers from all
parts of the globe.
In the meantime, however, he said,
the completion of the North Bank
highway was one of the important de-
tails looking toward the development
of our portion of the state. That the
state is losing tremendous amount
of traffic which would naturally stay
within the state boundaries were the
road competed is his assertion. Traf-
fic which is now going to the Oregon
side would daily add in gas tax tolls
an amount which would Justify the
state in the immediate expenditure
of the amount necessary to complete
the road to its intersection with the
translate highway at this point.
Mr.. Warren suggested the forma-
tion of an organization to push the
claims of the towns along the Column
bia river for highway which would
open up this vast rich territory, and
promised the wholehearted support
Of the people in the lower valley.
