 Concerning General Buffers charge he had been asked to lead a fascist army march on Washing ton, the committee reported it had received evidence showing that certain persons had made an at- tempt to establish a fascist organ ization in this country"
 "There is no question but that these attempts were discussed, were planned. and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial packers deemed 1t ex- pedient," the committee reported.
 Butler, the committee said, testi- fled as to conversations with Ger. ald c. MacGuire in which the lat ter is alleged to have suggested the formation of fascist army under the leadership of General Butler"
 Statements Verified
 MacGuire, the committee said, denied these allegations under oath "but your committee was able to verify all the pertinent statements made by General Butler, with ex- ception of the direct statement suggesting the creation of the or- ganization." This, however the committee said twas corroborated in the correspondence of MacGuire with his principal, Robert Sterling Clark. of New York city"
 The report charged the U. s. s. R. had failed to live up to the American recognition pledge of stopping communist propaganda. It said the committee had found both from documentary evidence and from frank admission of commu- mist leaders that the objective of communists was to overthrow by force and violence the republican form of government and substitute a soviet form of government based on class domination.
 "The specific purposes, by com- munist admission, are to be achieved" the report said, "by rev. olutionary upheavals, by forment- ing class hatred, by indictment of class warfare and by other Illegal methods"
 Under Moscow Direction The American communist party is definitely under the Jurisdiction of the third internationale at Mos- COW, the report asserted.
 While decrying the seriousness of the communist movement in America, the report said "its ac- tivities during the past year are plain evidence that, unless checked such activity will increase in scope and interferences so that they will inevitably constitute definite menace"

BOY STAR FEATURED
 IN DOG OF FLANDERS

Twelve-ye -old Frankie Thomas is featured in the RKO-Radio pie ture, "A Dog of Flanders" which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre. The charming, dramatic and sometimes pathetic story of Flemish peasant life was written by Louisa de la Rance under the pen name of "Ouida." In the sixty years since it's publication it has passed the million mark.
 Frankie is cast as the hero, little Nello. Lightning" who is Frankies faithful pal in the picture, is a grandson of "Strongheart,' the great dog star of the films. An excellent associate cast includes O. F. Heggie and Helen Parrish.
 The drama, pathos, childhood TO- nance and comedy of "A Dog of Flanders are said to form an in teresting vehicle for young Thom- ass precocious capabilities. He is an intelligent trouper, versed in the technique of legitimate acting and is said to be at his best as the little Flemish ragamuffin.

that its rural electrification activity Ia
one of the really substantial contribu-
tons to the agricultural welfare of
the Nation.
Fresh Viewpoint Needed.
The Government rural electrifca-
tion program Is based entirely on the
principle that the time has come to
abandon practices generally admitted
to be outworn and to adopt forward
looking policies made possible by the
favorable 1885 conditions. What we
need In this program, as In any other
new activity. is the inquiring mind and
a fresh and untrammeled point of
view. 1t would be a capital blunder
to spend millions of dollars for rural
electrification using standards which
have produced such unsatisfactory re-
suits in the past. and leave America
as it is today, a backward country in
| furnishing its rural population with
the comforts and necessities Of cleo
trical power.
We believe that the electricity from
the lines should be sold under en-
ttrely different conditions than are
now customary in rural areas. For
example, we feel that any sort of
service charge which does not ir-
clude some current should be avoided
in billing farm customers. Room and
area charges are not suitable to Or
dinary farm service and are out of
date.
We recommend simple system of
block rates. with promotional rate
schedule. Higher use is induced oy
having the price per kilowatt hour
drop sharply in the second and fol-
lowing blocks of the schedule.
The. minimum monthly bill for the
rural customer should not exceed SO
or $3.50, and this sum should include
enough current-40 or so kilowatt
hours-for ordinary lighting and
minor household appliances.
Customer contracts for rural serv-
ice which provide for a monthly mini
mum guarantee should have a def
mite termination for such guarantees,
normally in about three years.
Contracts Often Obscure.
In areas where farms average be-
tween three and four to the mile,
rural extensions should normally oe
built without customer contributions.
The rules governing extensions should
be rhraSed SO the prospective GUS
toner can understand them without
an interpreter. Some contracts in the
past haven't been understood even
by the companies themselves, think
Such principles as these. We feel. !
must be adopted before satisfactory
progress is made in rural electrical
ton in this country.
The most important requirement of !
present and future rural electrical |
tion in the United States is plan
ming. We must have a great ma
tional plan which is the sum of many
smaller local plans. Each group con-
cerned with rural electrifcation must
have its own plan. and each of these
must be co-ordinated into an inte-
grated whole. These plans may very
well be in the form of quotas. self
allotted goals reasonably capable Of
attainment. There must be a quota
for all of rural America. and a quota
for each State, and a quota for each
county, each community.
Each appliance maker must have
a quota, each public and private
utility organization must determine
its share in the rural electriflcation

electricity has been made available
to almost every resident. urban or
rural. But when We survey the
situation in our own great Nation
We find that only a little over 10
per cent of the farms in the United
States have been electrified, although
the electric light and power industry
recently celebrated its fiftieth ami
versary. During the depression years
and in the early stages of the re-
covery the business OF extending rural
lines had come almost to a standStill
AS matter of fact, the number of
unelectrified farms actually increased
by more than 350.000 in the five-year
period 1880 to 1884, because in that
period new farms we're added faster
than electrifcation was extended to
farms.
Charges Prohibitive.
Many factors delayed the extension
Of rural electrification. To overcome
them strong national effort was
required. Among these hampering
conditions were charges for energy In
rural areas that were prohibitive and
out of line with charges to urban
consumers. Then, too, burdensome
conditions were imposed upon the ex-
tension of rural lines which penalized
the hard pressed farmer and dis
couraged his efforts to become a Gus
toner. And then there was the lack
Of facilities to finance home and farm
electrical equipment which was
needed if rural consumption vas to
increase and the benefits of real rural
electrifcation we're to be available to
the farmers. In addition. some util-
tiles that desired to extend rural lines
were unable to borrow money pri-
vately on reasonable terms.
When to all this was added the
inertia of many units of the utility
industry. their traditional policy Of
extending their monopolistic fran
