to prove its statement that although
undeveloped water power projects
are, with few exceptions, remote
from industrial centers, the current
they could produce would be eco
nomical
Interconnection of the country by
voltage lines has progressed,
the report said, primarily for the
economies effected through in
creased use of existing generating
facilities, and the interchange Of
power among water power plants
where low water conditions are not
coincident in time"
The committee recommended
study of the British grid" system
of energy transmission, a network
planned so practically, all general
ing and distributing interests in
that country can effect cOnnec-
ton. It's detectives, the report said,
ARE to provide all sections OF the
nation with as much present and
future power as they respectively
require, and to make it available at
the lowest cost"
The board suggested that the
transmission lines, so important to
American development, might be
controlled by a Federal board, and
stated that the Government should
finance from 80 to 100 per cent of
new power projects.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. I8.-De-
velopment of hydro-electric plants
on major waterways TO generate an
ample supply Of low-cOst current
for all American homes and fac
tories. was urged by the National
Resources Board.
The committee suggested a So
year Federal public works program,
increasing the present 10000, 0OO-
kilowatt production Of rivers and
lakes to around $1,000 900. and dis
tribution Of power to both city and
country over a network of high
power transmission lines by plans
similar to the Tennessee Valley
project.
The board foresaw Harvesting Of
all running water TO create a more
abundant life for the whole nation
new inland waterways for navi-
CATION, ending the s35,O00,000 an
nual damage from floods. stopping
the yearly s4OO.OOO,O 600 toll of soil
erosion, conserving moisture against
drought and TO irrigate arid lands,
improving health by publication of
polluted streams and providing
shoreline resorts for recreation.
Costs were not estimated.
The committee stressed power de-
velopment and distribution facili-
ties to decentralize industry, revive
agricultural life and culture, and
rejuvenate industry.
Expansion Is Visioned
1.-THE committee visions an ex-
panSiOn of rural electrification not
as yet generally believed possible"
the report said, pointing out only
10 per cent Of the nations 100000
farms now have electricity.
Extensions of rural identification
would raise agricultural operations
to more productive plane, and re-
create agricultural life and culture.
The indirect effects would be a
powerful stimulant for industry.
for it would create a huge demand
for durable producer and durable
consumer goods"
The board said the country's
major water districts-the north
and south Atlantic basins. the
Great Lakes and st. Lawrence
waterway, The upper, lower Missis-
sippi basins, the Red River, Mis-
souri,, Ohio and Colorado basins,
and the north and south Pacific
regions-now are operating gener-
ators producing 9,773,3O2 kilowatts
for public use.
Point to Waterway
Their potentlalities, the commit
tee estimated. were 100000 kilo-
watts, sufficient to carry out it's
program of power for all with dis
tributiOn facilities to make it avail
able. The report pointed to the st.
Lawrence waterway as an example.
The international rapids of the
st. Lawrence River affords an OPP
portunity for the largest single de-
velopment Of power in the United
StateS-over 100000 of kilowatts of
primary power would be available.
The proposed installed capacity is
825 900 kilowatts.
According to the New York
Power Authority. energy could be
produced at an extremely low cost,
so low. in fact, that the part al
located to this service could be
transmitted a distance of 300 miles
to New York City and sold in COM
petition with that from the exist
ing sources of supply"
The committee cited the trans
mission lines in eastern Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey capable of

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, September t.
The Midwestern League for Economic
Equality announced today it would go
to bat next month for the A. A. A. in
its court battle to retain the process
ing tax.
The league Is preparing brief of
intervention In the Hoosac Mills case,
in which the Boston Circuit Court of
Appeals held the A. A. AS processing
tax was unconstitutional July l6.
1t has until October Is in which to
file its plea being written now by Ver-
non Vrooman. Drake University law
professor.
o. L. Brownlee, league treasurer
said 1--WE want to set forth our con-
tention that the processing taxes and
the protective tariff must stand or
fall on the same provisions of the
Constitution.
Then, if the court fails to sustain
that contention, we will enjoin some
manufacturer from adding the tariff
to his cost price. We will thus drive
a wedge between the protective tariff
and the tariff for revenue only"
The league expects to bolster its
case with battery Of so law firms.
We're going to match the Liberty
Leagues famous legal counsel, ="

world markets today.
Canadian wheat producers, nor
mally competitors with United States

price. The minimum was higher than
most traders had expected.
Wheat here Jumped more than 2
cents and maintained this gain de-
spite occasional setbacks because Of

Hopkins, Federal relief administrator
commented that as far as his investi-
CATION had progressed "I find no basis
for disciplinary action against any
one"
1t Is hard to arrive at a conclusion
as to whether any branch of the Fed
eral Government can be blamed for
the Key disaster" said Williams. The
F. E. r. A. spent approximately $3.50
900 in construction and maintenance
Of the three Veterans Rehabilitation
Corps camps since the first veterans
were sent last December to build a
bridge across one water gap in the
overseas highway from the Florida
mainland to Key West.
Williams, after questioning witnesses
concerning weather reports and the
special train which was caught in the
hurricane. said:
II am forced to the conclusion as far
as my investigation has gone that the
people Of Miami do not take hurricane
warnings seriously. I presume 1t is
because Of the cry Of 'wolf-wof' that
has been raised here so often"
Legion Investigating.
Williams said he would not attempt
to fix responsibility. but to place the
facts on record for transmission TO
President Roosevelt.
The American Legion. on behalf Of
its members in the key camps, also is
investigating.
Ernest Carson, in charge of the
Miami Weather Bureau, has been
questioned by both Worley and Will
liams. Other witnesses have been
trainmen and veterans.
Worley said his inquiry would con-
tinue into next week, when officers Of
the Inflated camps would be called 10
testify.
Fingerprint records Of many Of the
veterans reached here from Washing
ton for checking against prints taken
by identifications officers before the
cremations.
Sheriff Coleman sent word 1S bodies
held in cofiins at Snake Greek had
been sent to Lower Matecumbe and
with II others would be buried in the
tiny seaside cemetery there.
Conrad van Hyning, Florida emer-
gency relief administrator, issued in
structions that full military honors
were to be paid the dead at each Mate
cumbe burial. Graves are to be so
marked that later removal of the cof-
fms will be possible If relatives desire.
Sheriff Coleman said every possible
Identification means was being en-
ployed. A card index system giving
physical measurements, dental Pc
culiarities and identifying marks Is
being kept.
John L. Teets, field representative Of
the American Red Cross, said many
thousands Of dollars for storm rehabil-
itation work is needed by that organ
ization and must be raised by public
subscription. He said the Government
has made no grant Of money to the
Red Cross, which has set tentative
goal of $4,000 for rehabilitation.
Mayor w. H. Malone of Key West
telegraphed the Red Cross at Wash
ington immediate assistance" was
needed at Key West by $500 persons.
Many refugees from the storm stricken
keys have been taken to Key West.
Mayor Malone advised the local Red
Cross chapter now had the situation
under control, but said supplies were
limited and replenishments would be
required soon.
The Red Cross said information at
Washington showed that at least 1000
families were dependent at Key West
upon the Red Cross for relief over an
indefinite period.

Story to Hopkins.
Escaped Disaster by
Jumping on Running
Board of Passing Car.

A sun-tanned war veteran, who
barely escaped the death-dealing
Florida hurricane, rode into Washing
ton yesterday after five days hitch
hiking to assure Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins the F. e. r. A. was
blameless in the rehabilitation camp
debacle that took the lives of 300
ex-soldiers.
H. z. Hawkins, stationed since July
at camp No. 3, Islamorada, Fla,
Monday afternoon rode 66 miles from
the edge of Mangrove Swamp to Miami
on the running board of a car packed
with is other refugees hurrying to
escape the big blow. He is believed
the first veteran to reach Washington
from the camps.
Nobody Was to Blame.
''It's horrible to read about what
happened" he said yesterday before
he left for Rockville to spend the
week end with his sister, Mrs. Marie
Donvan. But there wasn't much that
could be done about 1t. Nobody was
to blame for those poor fellows dying.
1--WE used to talk over a lot what
we would do if a hurricane did come.
Wed been told that no matter how
bad the storms got the water never
ran over the railroad tracks, which
are about IL feet above the highway.
So we decided we'd tie ourselves to
these tracks. But 1t didn't work. The
water came over them and washed
them out In q good many places.
I'm going to try Monday to see
Mr.. Hopkins and tell him how I feel
about 1t. ! think he might be re-
ueved."

strong. Hawkins decided to return to
Miami, but his companion headed for
his camp.
II reckon maybe he's been killed
now" Hawkins said, although I
don't know"
Jumped on Running Board.
Hawkins saw q car jammed with
passengers starting northward from
Taviner. He asked for ride, but the
driver said the automobile was
already too crowded. But Hawkins
jumped ON the running board and
held on tight while the wind whipped
him with fury.
