This is a made.to-order fiction at

a Metropolitan Opera House finish
with a lavish dish of Puccini'S La
Boheme" for music lovers to

Interesting History

The Capital Screen Research
Service, a local organization which
looks up the historical facts for
movie companies and others, comes
to hand with some interesting
nuggets. For instance:
Nero far outdid Grace Moore,
Lily PonS, and other modern
prima donnas in the care he took
of his voice.

the Roman emperor would often

his songs and arias for a per.

where she is held in connection

ON
RATES BARRED
Court Holds IVA "Yard'
stick" Plan Inadmiss-
able In Case

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Ian. 81.
(UP)-Evidence concerning the
Tennessee Valley Authority
"yardstick" rates for electricity
yesterday was ruled irrelevant to
an injunction suit against the
IVA in federal court here.
Judge w. l. Grubb refused to
permit introduction of the evi.
dence by attorneys for group
of preferred stockholders of the
Alabama Power company who are
seeking to block the Twas power
program.
Forney Johnson, plaintiff coun-
sci, argued for permission to at
tempt to show that the low IVA
rates would be destructive to pri-
vately-owned power companies if
forced on them by competition.
The plaintiffs are seeking to
enjoin the IVA from purchasing
Alabama Power company proper
ties in Ia north Alabama towns
which the municipalities would
use to distribute IVA power
from Muscle Shoals to their citi-
zens at the "yardstick" rates.
In an attempt to show that the
iva is exceeding its constitution
al authority to sell electricity only
to dispose of surplus power Gre
ated in navigation and flood con-
troll operations, the plaintiffs put
Robert Isham Randolph, of Chi
cago, president of the Mississippi
Valley association, on the stand.
Randolph said that a series of
80 low dams and locks would pro-
vide a nine-foot navigation chan
mel on the Tennessee river from
its mouth to Knoxville, at an APP
proXimate cost of $4,000, 900.
The anti-TVA group charge that
the high power dams it is build
ing cost more than low dams but
are no better for navigation.
IVA attorneys brought out
that the ID stockholders who
brought the injunction suit own
only approximately 1000 shares
of stock in the Alabama Power
company. The stockholders claim,
however, that other stockholders
representing some 100000 of the
company's 100000 shares of pre-
ferred stock have agreed to the
action. ..

DELTA FLOOD
PERIL ABATES
Water Flows Off Into Low
er Basins; Damage
100000

CLARKSDALE, Miss, Jan. 81.
(UP).-Perils of the Mississippi
delta flood abated last night as
the waters drained into the Tai
lahatchie river valley which is pro-
tected by an extensive system Of
levees.
Citizens guarded the bikes with
guns, authorized to shoot any van
dale who tried to dynamite them.
1t was feared that persons wish
ing to divert the food waters
from their own areas, might de-
stroy the levees at some strategic
point.
An area for 25 miles along the
Tallahatchie river was menaced by
overflows last night, but the situa-
ton was not alarming. Hundreds
of men were at work piling sand
bags onto levees and it was be-
lieved the waters would be held in
check around the towns.
A gigantic rehabilitation prob
lem confronted Red Cross work
ers in the Coldwater river basin,
from which the water was drain
ing after ten days of devastation.
Thousands were still living in
refugee camps and many were ill.
George Myer, Red Cross repre-
sentative from Washington, said
many refugees had no inclination
to return to their water-logged
homes, many of which were
ruined. Conditions were said to
be "ripe" for an epidemic in the
crowded refugee camps.
The death toll in the flood area
remained at Fl. Property damage
was estimated as high as $1,000
900.
