Acting on the staff increase al

Superintendent Roberts today was

with four additional inspectors.
Last winter Major Donovan en-
tered the picture. He read lecture
at an appropriations hearing on
how District Department heads
should economic and aid in keep

posing increases. AS Superintend-
ent Roberts good-naturedly put it:

me mad and told him and the
Commissioners so. I made up
my mind that was going to
get these inspectors then and

succeeded not only in having the

3-PoWer Conference
Seen in ETHIOPIAN Crisis

LONDON, July 20 Q.N.SO.
Possibility Of a three-power con-
ference to debate the Italo-Ethi
opian crisis grew today following
rejection by Premier Mussolini of
Britain's last desperate attempt
to effect a compromise"
II Duce, it was made clear, does
not want any kind of a compro-
mise solution, including even the
compromise" proposal to cut off
a large slice Of Eastern Abyssinia,
give it to Italy, and open up the
remainder of the African empire
to unrestricted Italian immigra-
ton. This plan represented Brit
aims final effort along this line.
With a League decision de-
layed, there was increased posi-
bility of a conference between
Britain, France and Italy, called
together on the basis of the 1906
treaty between the three powers,
which cancelled responsibility for
Ethiopia among them. The con-
ference would be held in Rome.
BRUSSELS, July 20 G.NSO.
Ethiopia today requested Belgium
to rescind a ban on shipment Of
arms to Ethiopia, imposed two
weeks ago.
The request pointed out that
large orders, now ready for de-
livery, were placed before the
Italo- Ethiopian conflict arose.

CHARGES
CONSPIRACY
TOUT|L|T|ES
Court Actions Reveal Concert
ed Drive by Big Companies
to Halt Work, Is Claim
international News Service

Public Works Administrator
Harold L. Ickes today charged
that Public utilities companies
whose lobbying activities are now
under investigation by a Senate
committee are making a con-
certed attack to prevent cons
struction of municipal power
projects through PWA loans and
grants.
In almost every one of % court
actions filed against PWA-muni-
cipal power projects, "the Ian
guage in the bills is similar" in
solar as questions of constitutions
atty are concerned, Henry T.
Hunt, general counsel for the
Public Works Administration,
said.
Mr.. Hunt, whose statement was
made at the request Of Ickes, as
serted the language is identical in
some instances.
OF the % cases filed, ten bills
have been dismissed on motion
of the Government, the latest
being the decision of the U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals at New
Orleans dismissing a previous Dis
trict Court Injunction against the
Tennessee valley Authority'S
agreements with IA Alabama
cities for power distribution.
In two cases motions to dis.
miss have been denied, nine mo-
lions to dismiss are pending, and
in one case, at Middleboro, KY,
the Kentucky Court Of Appeals al
lowed an injunction to stand on
the ground that the authorizing
bond ordinance was subject to a
referendum vote, Mr.. Hunt said:
Gin a number of the bills the
ALLEGATIONS of cOnStitutiOnality
are identical, indicating that
they are drafted on forms or
instructions emanating from
some central source"
The utilities companies, accord
ing to Mr.. Hunt, based their at
tacks chiefly on the grounds that
the Constitution does not en-
power Congress to appropriate ma
tional funds to finance local and
competitive facilities, and that the
power to select projects for fl
nancing, invested in the Presi-
dent by the recovery act Of 1888,
is an unconstitutional delegation
Of legislative authority.
