Williams is understood to have re-
suited from testimony made be-
fore the House Military Affairs
Committee in January, concern
ing dealings" between officials OF
the War Department, high-ranking
Army officers and lobbyists for
automobile manufacturing firms.
During these hearings it was teS-
titled that "loans" had been made
by agents for the motor firms to
"at least two War Department
officials in high positions"
In it's report, the committee said
of one officer, who was unnamed:
"This same officer, moreover,
is established to have given a
six-mOnth note for $4,000, pay
able to bearer, to one of the
most active lobbyists engaged
in the motor vehicle business.
There is considerable evidence,
based on sworn testimony Of
four witnesses, that the note
was given in return for cash
in that amount, and that the
said officer has at no time
offered to pay said note, either
when due or since, but on the
contrary has endeavOred to re-
possess himself of said note
without paying the same"
The testimony before the com
mittee and the identity of wit.
neSseS was not contained in the
report, but it is reported that the
agent making the "loan" was

disappearing witness who was
sought by Justice Department men
for a year in efforts to question
him concerning the purchase Of

ficer from that branch of the SER
vice.
The proceeding now under way
is the first court-martial of gen.
eral officer of the Army since the
trial of Gen. William Mitchell 10
years ago. The secrecy, however,
is considered unusual in that the
trial of General Mitchell was well
publicized.
In addition to the guard sur
rounding the Officers Club today,
a second guard is posted about the
second-floor banquet hall of the
building, where the trial is being
held.
The first session Of the court
was held yesterday, it was learned,
and that today convened shortly
before 9 o'clock. To add to the
secrecy, members of the court and
officer witnesses appeared in CT
william clothes.
It was said today that the pro-
ceedings may require several
weeks, because there are lot Of

several Army motor cars and
trucks.
Speicher, it is limited, will be
one of the many witnesses called
to testify during the court-martial
proceedings.
Charges in Report
In another section of the House
Military Affairs Committee re-
port, and speaking of the same
unnamed officer, it is stated:
"In the private home of this
high-ranking officer, there was
burned by said officer a paper
copy of specifications which had
been written in the office of
the Assistant Secretary Of War,
to eliminate from competition
one of the leading motor-vehicle
dealers. This copy of specifica-
tiOnS had come into the hands
of the officer in confidence and
he in turn, upon the testimony
of two witnesses who were pres
ent, is shown to have placed it
in the hands of the dealer af-
fected, in an irregular and I'M
authorized manner"
The testimony taken before the
committee is now in the hands
of Secretary of War George Dern.
It could not be learned today il
it will be presented at the court
martial trial of General Williams.
Major F.. G. MunSon, OF the Of
flee of the Judge Advocate Gen
eral, is presenting the evidence
against General Williams and is
said to be assisted by another Of

Infantry an injustice, which

General Croft also took a crack
at the special privileges granted
the Air Corps in time of war and
the fact their headquarters
usually are situated we'll behind
the firing line. His letter con-
tinued:
"In battle there is no ceiling
for the infantry. At no time is
its upper flank protected from
q hail of shot and shell. Neither
wind nor weather protects it.
There are no warm beds for in
fantry officers in back areas, no
nights of peaceful rest, no so

the World War, so in the next
war-the infantry will pay the
greatest share of victory.
intend by all proper means to
protect the careers of infantry
officers in time of peace"
The response of the Air Corps
men is that their duties are much
more hazardous than that of other
branches of the Army, both in
peace and war. They point to the
fact they lose an average of so
men per year in peace time and
that the great risks of their duties
should be recognized.

To BIC AREA

(The Tennessee Valley author
ity, President RooSeUelt'S dream
of neU order OF lining in rural
America, 1Uith q mammoth elec-
trio poUer generated for the pub
lie good, waS created ttDo gears
ago. In the first OF series OF
three articles, an International
News Service correspondent sur
veys the progress of the TVAJ
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May II
G.N.SO. Two years old, the
Tennessee Valley Authority in its
brief existence has spent $40,-
600, 900 in constructing dams for
hydro-electric power, and is rapid
ly ushering in a new social,
economic and industrial era for
the seven southern States in the
valley area.
Two great dams are more than
half finished, another is well
under way, and surveys are being
made for early construction OF
two others.
In addition to the $4,000, 900
already expended, the Authority
has contracted for materials cost
ing $40, O00, 900, and has at it's dis
posal many more millions for
making the cherished dream of
President Roosevelt and Senator
Norris come true.
Reality Now Near
That dream, approaching reality
in less than "a months, is the
complete identification of the val
ley, which includes most of Ten
nessee, and parts of Virginia, Ken
lucky, North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi.
When the IVA began May 10,
1888, the vast area affected was
in the throes of the depression
and bordering on economic dis
aSter.
Today, better business condi-
tons are reported in the territory
than in any other part of the
United States. New industries are
moving in, taking advantage OF
the abundant, cheap electricity.
Social life is being transformed,
with a backward mountain folk
awaking to a great opportunity.
It was the initial objective OF
the Norris act creating the Au-
thority that not only power would
be generated but new life given
the communities served.
Developments to Date
Developments to date include:
the Norris Dam, located on the
Clinch River near here. which will
cost $4,000, 1000; Joe Wheeler
Dam. on the Tennessee River in
Alabama, to cost $22,OOO,OOO, and
more than half completed; Pick
wick Dam, on the Tennessee
River, near Savannah. Tenn, to
cost another $22,0OO,O0O, is well
under way.
In addition, the model town Of
Norris has been built and a broad
and effective program of soil
erosion and reforestation has been
undertaken.
Power Rates SIashed
Already, many cities are get
ting power at approximately so
per cent less than the average
public utility rate, and use Of
electricity has increased more
than 100 per cent, O. survey
showed. Numerous other cities
have voted use Of the power only
to be baked by court decisions.
Many years will be required to
complete the gigantic scheme,
ultimately costing $2OO,00O,0 900
and providing the worlds great
est power development, but &C.
complishments of the past two
years, completed today, indicate
the tremendous possibilities which
may be achieved in the next
decade.

Farmers Claim MiIIers in

Holding Price Low.

BY the Associated Press. t
FREDERICKSBURG Va, July
27.-Two Government agents are in
this section investigating what they
termed reports of q combination of
millers which fixed the price of wheat
paid to farmers in Tidewater and
Maryland in possible violation of Fed
eral antitrust laws.
The agents told citizens here the in
vestigation was begun after letters had
been written President Roosevelt by
farmers protesting against low prices.
George w. Koiner, Virginia COM
missioner Of agriculture. late last
month condemned the action Of the
Richmond Grain Exchange In setting
the price of Old Dominion wheat
some Is to 20 cents below Chicago
quotations and advised growers to
store their grain until they could get
a better price.
Koiner also conferred with United
States Department of Agriculture Of
ficials and said they had promised
their aid.
In q statement June %, the COM
missioner secuted the idea that flour
from the Pacific Northwest was seri-
ously injuring Virginia millers and
said the millers could afford to pay
Chicago prices In Richmond as they
had done formerly.
The lower quotation on the Rich
mond exchange was preceded by COM
plants Of speakers before the annual
convention of the Piedmont Millers'
Association in Richmond June IL,
when a warning was sounded that
Virginia farmers would receive
smaller price for wheat unless Con-
gress took steps to prevent what pro-
cessors said was dumping of Pacific
Coast wheat on Eastern markets.
No. 2 red Winter wheat was quoted
in Chicago today at 81 cents a bushel.
The Richmond quotation was rs cents.

Jchn H. Fahey, chairman Of the
Home Owners Loan Corp, said yes
terday, 1T is inevitable that some
thousands of homes must be &C.
quired by the corporation in the nor
NAL course Of its business"
Up until July IS, the corporation
had started foreclosure proceedings
against 712 homes whose owners had
defaulted on H. o. L. C. loan pay
ments, and officials estimated that
such actions were being instituted at
the rate of about 40 week.
Most Paying Regularly.
Acquisition of properties by the
corporation cannot be prevented"
Fahey said, adding:
The vast ajority Of borrowers are
making their payments regularly md
are in no danger of foreclosure, but
the very fact that the corporation
has become the largest real estate
lending organization in tie world
means that it will have more proper
ties to dispose of than any other single
MISUNDERSTANDING institution.
1.-The corporation now holds mort
cages on more than 1885, 900 homes.
Soon it will have over million. Out
of so large a number, some thousands
are inevitably represented by feople
who prove irresponsible. and who DO
not respect their obligations. Even
in normal times, the large lending
institutions have to deal with thou
sands of pieces of property on which
they are obliged to foreclose in the
course of a year. The Home Owners
Loan Corp. cannot expect to escape
similar experiences.
Won't dump Hastily"
Fahey said the corporation, which
has created a property management
division to handle forecloSed proper
ties, would encounter no serious diff
Guilty in disposing of them because of
the rise in real estate values. He
added that it did not propose to dump
hastily" on the market those homes
it is compelled to take over and sell
or rent.
ITO imply that the H. o. L. c.
is a 'Shylock' in foreclosing against
persons who refuse to pay when they
can pay" Fahey said. lis to argue
that dishonest people should be given
free ownership of their hores on the
Federal credit, at heavy cost to every
one else"
