court house, which was burned by
angry mobsters Wednesday night after
their efforts to storm the building and
seize the prisoner, E. K. Harris, had
been repulsed by the guardsmen's fire.
Harris is accused of assaulting q young
white girl.
Sheriff T. z. Cant expressed the
opinion that if any further violence
occurs it will come some time tomor-
row, due to the Saturday shopping
crowds.
Fears Drinking.
"There may be some drinking" he
continued, and declared that If no
trouble occurs Saturday the situation
probably will be settled.
As a result of threats made against
the sheriff personally, he was assigned
protective guard of 80 guardsmen.
An investigation into the burning
of four National Guard trucks was
being pressed by militia officers. Col.
Bond said 1t was possible that Depart
ment of Justice agents would be called
in. The trucks were Federal property

two months that settled the matter.

80 PCT. POWER CUT
FOR ALL |SU.S. AIM
Federal Funds for City
Plants Seen Pushing
Rates Downward.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A cut of about so per cent in the
electricity bill of America was de-
scribed today as the ultimate goal Of
the Roosevelt power program.
Frank r. McNinch, chairman Of
the Federal Power Commission. made
this declaration, emphasizing that ac-
complishment of the aim cannot be
expected for several years.
After Secretary Ickes made known
he is considering an effort to find
public works funds for proposed
municipal plants in other cities besides
New York, McNinch declared rates
to be excessive "in most Of the larger
cities"
Negotiations already have been
started by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia
looking toward a grant for the erec-
ton Of power plant for the
metropolis.
Plant Project Approved.
Plans for public works financing of
a municipal plant at Columbus, Ohio,
have received approval. Others are
being discussed. If built, they would
be part of the "yardstick" system
whereby administration leaders say,
the rates of private concerns would
be measured and forced down where
they were considered too high.
McNinch based his statement about
long range rate reduction on the con-
tention that Canadians, on the aver
age, pay is cents for the same
amount Of electricity which costs
Americans 5h cents.
He said rate reductions through
loans to municipalities to build plants
is lone of the results hoped for"
Rates Held Too High.
He would not name the cities
where rates are regarded as too high,
but said:
"I think that analysis will show
that the rates In most Of the larger
cities are excessive"
Secretary Ickes said he was told
Mayor La Guardia would Immediately
begin rounding up his plans for mu-
nicipal plant for formal presentation
to P. w. A.
Senator Dickinson, Republican, of
Iowa asserted that If p. w. A. lent
money to New York for such a pur-
pose it would be exceeding its
function.
There Is q Public Service Commits
sion in New York." he said. eff the
rates are too high, why doesn't the
commission adjust them? Why did
not the Public Service Commission
act when President Roosevelt was
Governor?"

One personality in the New Deal,
whose influence seems to be expand
ing. is that Of your old friend. Gen.
Farley.
For a time there was considerable
resistance manifest in certain New
Deal quarters against some of Mr.
Farley's desires and activities. Since
the election, however, there seems to
be a new general appreciation of the
importance of his work.
His sphere is by no means confined
to the Post Office Department or the
Democratic National Committee.
Many Mourn Black.
The death Of former Chief Eugene
Black of Federal Reserve was mourned
by many in Washington. He was the
only philosopher developed by the New
Deal.

the Russian Embassy, where he ate
continuously from 8 pm. to 3 am.
He enjoyed hkening himself to
Andy Gump, but he must haze felt
more like Uncle BIN When he pas
head of Federal Reserpe. He iDas
conservative opponent of many Neu
Deal policies, but he co-operated.
A New Deal light that failed was
the one held by Rail Co-ordinator
Eastman. His friends no longer try
to make a secret of 1t. They ascribe
1t to a one-line amendment inserted
by Congress in the bill establishing
his agency. This amendment told him
he could economize rail expenses, but
he could not put any one of the pay
roll. That prevented him from being
doer Of deeds and made him q
prober Of possibilities.
His work along that line viii be
made public when his report goes to
Congress shortly, but the truth Is that.
since he took the job, he has issued
but one order.

In fact, his advisers are proving
themselves to be a flock Of the rug
gedest individualists in captivity. Each
one is trying to pull him a different
way. They do 1t more or less Subtly
and in varying degrees. but they are
not able to agree on very much of
anything.
There seems to be nothing in the
stories going around that q cabinet

Cures In Conflict.
The trouble Is that every man in
Government is ambitious for his own
views, If not tor himself personally.
Overlapping and conflicting bureaus
are making conflicting reports. Each
one has the only possible plan for cur
ing the depression.
Loyalty is only q relative matter.
1t becomes secondary where principle
is concerned, and all these New Deal
ers have principles on everything from
peanuts to politics. Too many are
worrying about their political future.
1t is not important, but just to
give you an ided-one cabinet Of
fcer sidled up to another cabinet
officer q tew days ago and promised
support to keep third cabinet
officer from getting bureau atooy
from the second one.
The result of such tactics Is an
undercurrent of friction which forces
the boss to weigh all the evidence
and make all the decisions. That may
be best for the long run, but it does
not permit speed.
Reads Everything.
Mr.. Roosevelt's simplified process
for handling his array Of all-star
halfbacks is to read. He reads every
thing in sight.
The other day some one sent to the
White House the 10 best essays writ
ten by boys in the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps. They were addressed to
Mrs. Roosevelt because she happened
to be particularly interested in that
subject, but somehow they fell on the
Presidents desk; and he read
them all.
What he demands from the team Is
full report in writing every two
weeks by each of the ga members of
the National Emergency Council. On
this council are all cabinet members
and heads of the principal emergency
agencies. They gather at super-cabi-
net meetings in the White House and
each one reads his report, listing what
he has done since the previous meet
ing. Such session was held yester-
day.
One Million Lost.
This makes a formidable array Of
data to listen to, but the President
listens. Once, several months ago,
cabinet officer came across an item
Of a million dollars. Whats that
for?" Mr.. Roosevelt asked. The cabi-
neteer had to confess with embarrass-
ment he did not know. That incident
has not been repeated since.
In addition, the President has q
secretary Dho reads all the news-
papers and magazines she can de-
pour and marks copies of the most
important items. She places them
each day on the Presidents desk.

The elements of the new General
Headquarters Air Force will be grouped
in three great territorial subcommands,
or wings. These will be the lst Wing,
on the Pacific Coast. with headquar-
tiers at Hamilton Field, Calf; the I'd
Wing, on the Atlantic Coast, with
headquarters at Langley Field, Va,
and the Sd Wing, in the Central and
Southern United States, with head
quarters initially at Fort Crockett. GAL
weston, Tex, and later at Barksdale
Field, La.
The new organization will relieve
the chief Of Air Corps, Maj. Gen.
Benjamin D. Foulois, of responsibility
for command over the troops Of the
Air Corps and permit him to devote
full time to his duties in matters Of
procurement, technical training and
development, the Army Aviation
School system and the evolving Of
sound National Guard and Reserve
units, the War Department said.
This will place the chief OF the
Air Corps in a position comparable to
those Of other chiefs of arms and
services, who are free from response
bility for command over the troops
and elements Of their arms and serv-
ices," it was explained.
Revisions May Be Made.
The War Department announced
that after year Of tests of the new
air force plan revisions might be
made If found desirable on the basis
of actual experience.
although several years may be
necessary to achieve a final solution
it was said, "it may be said that the
initial step, alone, constitutes by far
the most important and evolutionary
step toward modernization of the
forces of the United States that has
been taken since the World War. The
principles involved in this step are
transcendental in their full imphca-
tions and will doubtless influence the
development of other arms as well as
of the Air Corps. The effect on
all military organization is likely to
be marked"
The plan calls for the basing at
Langley Field, which becomes the
air defense center for the whole At
lantic Coast, of headquarters of the
| G. H. @. Air Force, the headquarters
squadron; the headquarters of the
End Wing, headquarters of the End
Bombardment Group, composed o.
the goth. 49th. 96th and 54th Bonn
! bardment Squadrons; the 9th Pursuit
Group headquarters and the 33d,
35th and seth Pursuit Squadrons and
37th Attack Squadron (attachedD; the
41st Observation Squadron, the 10th
Airship Squadron and the 58th and
| seth Service Squadrons.
No date has been set for the crea-
ton Of the 14th Bombardment Squad
ron and the 21st Observation Squadron
at Boiling Field. The bombardment
squadron is to be part Of the 9th
Bombardment Group, which will have
headquarters at Mitchell Field, New
York.
! The various elements fthe air
force will remain at posts throughout
the country, but will be subject entirely
to orders of the commander at Langley
Field, and in an emergency or for
training will be prepared to concen-
trate at any point Immediately. Col.
Andrews, however, will be given full
authority to reorganize the units Of
his command 50 far as may be neces-
| sary.
