I dropped in the other day on a
young friend who makes the most
complicated and delicate machin-
cry that I know anything about.
That is the machinery which pro-

Ted. II don't know of anything
more complicated than a wheelbar-

I got to thinking about the null
tiplication of machines of all kinds
and wondered if the time might
not come when the problem Of
finding men able to run the ma
chimes would be an even more diff

machines.

baking
When I was a boy the test Of 4
good housewife was her ability te
bake a toothsome loaf of bread
Nowadays, it seems to me, almost
everybody buys bread at the store,
The big baking companies are
talking about putting up the price
of bread because of the increased
cost of wheat and other materials.
Secretary Wallace says that they
had better reduce the size of the
loaf than raise the price. 1t seems
to me that there isn't much diff
ference between reducing by max
ing the loaf smaller and charging
more for the standard loaf. Either
way, the consumer gets less bread
for his money.
In the old days of large families
when practically everybody lived
on the land, the idea of paying cash
money for bread or any otheA
cooked food seemed like wasteful
extravaganza. These days, with
smaller families, mostly living in
cities and towns, it just doesn't
pay to bake home bread. My wife
can still make as good bread as I
ever tasted, and about once
a year she bakes a batch just to
keep her hand in. But she figures
in the long run it costs about
twice as much as if she bought it.
CREDIT-to ability
The other day l met the Very
Rev. Hewlett Johnson, Dean of
Canterbury Cathedral, England.
He is over here to explain the plan
of Social Credit, which is about
to be tried out on a large scale in
Alberta, Canada. As nearly as I
can make out, the idea is that all
credit should be controlled by gov
eminent and granted to those who
need it on the basis of their pro-
ductive ability. without the many
restrictions which prevent most of
us from getting the credit we need.
"Where is the weak spot in the
plan?" I asked the visitor from
overseas.
LACK of trained, intelligent
manpower to administer it," he re-
Piled frankly. THAT is the weak
spot in every human plan"
It seemed to me hat the emin-
emit cleric had put his finger on
the weak spot of every plan of So
cial and economic regeneration. 1
find myself completely in sympa-
thy with the aims of most social
reformers, but increasingly skepti-
cal, as the years go on, of ~society's
ability to bring about important
reforms without first developing a
great body of honest intelligent,
administrators.

iva BEGINS FIGHT FOR LIFE
OF ELECTRIC POWER PROGRAM
Prosecution Charges This
Phase Overt Act'' and
Unconstitutional

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 90.
(UP).-The Tennessee Valley Au-
thority began a fight for the life
of it's "yardstick" electric program
in U. S. district court here yester-
day.
The hearing opened yesterday
and rapidly developed far more
significance than the immediate
question at issue-whether or not
the iva may buy properties of
the Alabama Power company.
A group of Alabama Power
company preferred stockholders
are seeking a federal injunction
to ban the transfer of some ST.
100000 worth of the utility's prop
critics to the IVA. The sale would
include transmission lines and dis
tribution plants in ID North Ala
bama towns, which plan to OPP
crate municipal systems with cleo
tricity from Muscle Shoals at the
Twas low "yardstick" rates.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs
served notice of an attack on the
constitutionality of the entire
IVA program. Federal Judge w.
I. Grub established the compre-
hensive nature of the case when
he overruled motion after motion
by iva attorneys to limit the
hearing to Alabama aspects OF
the program.
Over protest of IVA counsel,
Judge Grub ordered all minutes
of the authority's board meetings
brought into court. Proceedings
relating to the iva program in
Tennessee, Mississippi and North
Carolina as we'll as Alabama were
read into the record.
To pleas of IVA counsel that
the hearing be limited to "this one
transaction" - purchase of the
Alabama Power company proper
ties-Forney Johnston, attorney
for the stockholders, replied:
"We'll show that the IVA has
a program for an integrated de-
velopment of the entire Tennessee
river that is unconstitutional and
that this is only one part of it.
1t is an overt act"
The hearing is expected to con-
tinue for weeks.
Judge Grub held a few weeks
ago, in denying a petition for dis
missal of the injunction suit, that
the Twas power program could
be constitutional only if limited to
disposing of surplus electricity
generated under it's constitutional
powers of navigation and flooa
control. He indicated that in his
opinion the contemplated program
far exceeded this authority.
