AUTHORITY URGED
FOR MISSISSIPPI
Gigantic Program Projected
Along Lines Of 7. v. A.
by Senator Norris.
BY the Associated Press.


Senator Norris, Republican, Of
Nebraska, father of the Tennessee
Valley Authority act and other new
departures in Government, will soon
offer Congress q proposal vaster than
all the rest.
He said today he would introduce
at the coming session a bill for q
Mississippi Valley Authority-along
the lines of the T. v. A.
It would embrace considerably
more than half the continental United
States. Its territory would include all
the broad plain between the Ale
gheny foothills and the Western Con-
tinental Divide.
1t would reach from the rivllets
that feed the Mississippi from near
the Canadian border to the delta
where the huge river pours into the
Gulf of Mexico
In this far-flung area, only the
Tennessee Valley, which has its own
T. V. A., would be omitted from the
plan for developing the great water
shed.
Norris said 1t was an expansion OF
his former plan for a Missouri Valley
Authority. Flood control would be its
chief goal, he disclosed, but it also
would direct the development Of navi-
cation, irrigation, hydroelectric power,
soil conservation and reforestation.
In its flood control and navigation
programs it would take over the pres
ent work Of Army engineers.
Like T. v. A., it would be managed
by three-man directorate. The cost
is not stated. Congress would vote
funds from year to year as the work
progressed.
The 74-year-old Senator was asked
the relation Of his plan to talk Of his
retirement from the Senate when his
present term expires year hence.
Did he think 1t would get through
Congress at the approaching session?
Perhaps not, was his thought on that.
Then how about another term?
"Some one else might see 1t
through" he answered cagily.

Settlement Necessary to
Receive Aid.

BY the Associated Press.
South Carolina was warned yester-
day its road controversy must be set
tied permanently or the State again
may find itself barred from partici-
patton in Federal aid highway funds.
A spokesman said the Federal Roads
Bureau would cooperate with a tenn.
porary board of control, created by a
special session of the legislature after
Gov. Olin D. Johnston ousted a po-
litically hostile commission with
troops, but he added:
1--WE may shut down any time un-
less the controversy is permanently
settled"
The Federal bureau Withdrew its
cooperation, tying up approximately
$8,000,000 in Federal funds appor-
toned to the State, shortly after john
ston's military coup last october 28.

raised her and held her TO his breast,
chiding her family and kissing her
cheeks. OF all his retinue and his

best. He was her lord, and she strained

Milord unleashed his burnoose and
slowly unwound q good so pounds Of
cartridges from his middle, which
was thick with aging strength. He
refused to look from the window Of
the train. Outside, running like a
gazelle. her long skirts flying, the
woman with the ointment ran a half
mile among the bitches and high grass,
at last standing and locking long at
our disappearing cars. Inside among
his munitions the Kenjasmaj sat in
his corner, singing family a thin,
high song, plaintive but fanciful. A
brigadier of the Aurussi Gallas was
gone to the wars.

was never any doubt Of the mans be-

into the train at Adds Ababa, fol-
lowed by his suite, in q storm Of emo
tional display. He was, with myself,
the trains complement Of first-class
passengers.
1t was troop train we were board
ing, one carrying the last of the
Aurussi reserves into the faraway
Ogaden. Ten dingy, slate-blue boxes
and a tiny coupe-wagon, painted
white, made up the cars to be dragged
by the most ancient Of engines.
At first, one had been forbidden to
ride the train-white men are not
wanted aboard them-but it was
known that the day before the Ameri-
can had been with the Emperor; it
was certain that he could not be a
suspicious character. Accordingly, one
was sold f1rst-class ticket and ush-
cred aboard, being warned to keep out
of the slate-blue cars, where 800 war
riors, sacks of millet on their heads
rations for a Winters campaign
fought among themselves to keep
family groups intact in various pre-
empted corners.
Because that one was lying low in
the far corner Of the coupe, it was
some time before Milford, the Ken
jasmaj, Moulou Guetah, knew of the
presence Of white man in his quar-
tiers. Milford had come aboard dressed
in loose tan khaki. a gray whipcord
burA@ose and sandals which cruelty
bound his large, chubby feet. He had
been followed by the best of his
bondsmen, and as each attempted to
fall and kiss these bound feet he had
shown marks Of favor by raising them.

kissing them on both cheeks. He
had scarcely got this over with when
he had to do with his women.
Many Wives Bid Farewell.
There were many of these. Obvi-
ously the eldest was his old wife, the
woman of his youth and the mother
of the future Kenjasmaj Of the Aurussi
Gallas, general of brigade. She had
made only the slightest inclination
toward his feet; he raised her lightly,
kissing her upon the lips.

counting with cartridges, was around

There were no tears from MiIady
Moulou Guetah. They kissed, and
then she pulled her big. gray double
brimmed Ethiopian hat closely over
her head and swept painfully in her
European shoes from the coach, be-
ing joined by bondswomen sweeping
from the vulgar stares Of the station
folk.
There came then youngish woman
Anhara or Shoa, with nothing Ne
groid about her. She had the oval
Semitic face, the curling hauteur at
eyes and lips, the cafe-au-lait skin of
the high caste. She fell upon her
knees in the coupe and the Kenjas-
maj forebore placing the big black
hand upon the china chin. He raised
her by her armpits and kissed her
large, slanting black eyes. She would
have wept then, but the brigadier of
Ethiopian infantry, the Lord Moulou
Guetah, commander of 5000 Aurussi
irregulars, cried chidingly. "Toh-

1t accomplished nothing, for she
wept anyway and was led instantly
from mis- presence by two ragged bare
foots from among his men.
Then there came a half dozen
women folk, who had come many
miles with these troops to Adds. They
came in and went out rapidly, always
with the same formality. They did
kiss his feet. after which, to show
he bore them the most paternal good

She was probably 40. She was of no

burst into tears. This one sprawled
