O Spanish composer were both
heard on the program Of the U. s.

who has a penchant for Spanish
music, conducted Rimsky-KorSar
kow's "Capriccio ESpagnol," and
Enesco's "Rumanian Rhapsody
No. l." so as to capture the faSci-
mating folk and gypsy dance
rhythms.
In addition to these gypsy
rhythms, Lieutenant Benter pre-
scented another Spanish work, "In-
termezzo" from "GoyeScas," by

IVA Completes
Norris Dam Plant
Begin Generating Electricity at
POwerhOuse in Northeastern
Part of Tennessee

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. THE
Tennessee Valley Authority an
nounced today the Norris dam pow
erhouse in northeastern Tennessee
has been placed in operation.
Hydro-power generated by the
dams two $4,000 horsepower gener-
ators is being sent over 220-mile,
154, 900 volt transmission line to Will
son dam on the Tennessee river in
Alabama.
The authority said it had notified
Commonwealth and Southern corpor-
alton and it's subsidiaries-the Ala
bama Power company, Tennessee
Electric Power company, Georgia
company, and the Mississippi Power
company-of the completion of the
plant and given notice that con-
tract between the authority and
these companies would expire in
three months.
The contract was executed Janu-
airy 4, 1884, to remain in force until
three months after completion of
Norris dam power plant or until
December 81, 1888, whichever date
was earlier.
Forrest Allen, assistant co-ordina-
tor of the IVA, explained that expi-
ration of the contract will end re-
strictions by which the authority
agreed not to serve certain territory
now served by Commonwealth and
Southern. Also, he said, it will end
provision of the contract permit
ting the four subsidiary power COM
panies to demand 10000 kilowatts
over the above the amount of power
interchanged between the companies
and the authority.
However, under the contract, in
ter change arrangements for the au-
thority's customers and it's own uses
can be continued for an additional
period not to exceed 18 months.
The first Norris power was gener-
ated and transmitted to Wilson dam
last Tuesday night in test run.
Sluice gates to the 253-foot high
dam were closed last March 4. The
reservoir behind the dam now covers
about $4,000 acres of the $4,000 it
eventually will inundate.

Mcdonald, a resident of Jackson

South's Largest
Tree Planting
Program Ends

The largest annual tree-planting
program ever undertaken in the
South has been completed by the
United States Forest Service, accord
ing to Joseph G. Kircher of Atlanta,
Georgia, Southern Regional Forester
for the United States.
Mr.. Kircher said that his organi-
cation had used 100000 seedlings,
most of them longleaf pine and slash
pine, for reforestation from Decem-
Der /, 1885, to May l, 1886. The ma
jority of these trees were grown
from cones gathered by CCC boys
throughout the South and shipped to
the nursery for the extraction and
planting of the seed. There was a
bumper crop of pine cones last year,
and the Forest Service took full adj
vantage of it. Six or seven years
may elapse before Nature again pro-
vides such a bountiful supply of
seed. Approximately 100000 gall
Ions of water are used annually to
irrigate the seed beds at the Stuart
Nursery, one of the largest tree
nurseries in the world.
All of the tree planting work was
carried on with CCC labor on ma
tional-forest land, Mr.. Kircher said.
Louisiana was the largest benefactor
from the Federal reforestation pro-
gram. A total of 21,66l,5 500 trees
were planted in that state on the
cut over lands of the Kisatchie Ma
tional Forest.

The Useful Auks

When Newfoundland was colonized,
the great birds, the auks. were used
as food for these early settlers who
visited their breeding grounds to kill
and salt them for winter use. Later.
their feathers were in demand for use
in making feather beds. When wood
was scarce on Funk island, where
hunters were trapping and killing the
birds for their feathers, the bodies of
the bird, being covered with a thick
layer of fat, were said to have been
used as fuel to feed the fires needed
there. ...

Italy Drafts Plan
for Colonization
of African Land
Thousands Said to Be Applying
for Emigration; Experts
Will Help Settlers

vVAAA 4AGAp 0CtSACIS
q ROME, Aug. 4.-Italy is planning
to make good colonists of her peas
ants and unemployed who want to
go to Ethiopia.
Schools to prepare these modern
pioneers are being organized by a
committee of agricultural experts
and workers organizers.
Propaganda by pamphlets, bulle-
tins, and radio is planned to fanili-
arize the country at large with the
opportunities to be created in Africa.
Meanwhile clerks of the internal
migration commission, which handl-
ed the populating of such regions as
Italy's reclaimed Pontine marshes,
are busy classifying the requests for
chances to settle in Ethiopia. A high
ranking official says these requests
are pouring into his Office "by the
thousands"
81 think all the unemployed in
Italy want to go to Ethiopia" he
says. SIN addition, we have many
workers now in Africa as soldiers
and laborers who are anxious to re-
main and take up land"
Call Is Withheld
Pending completion of plans for
parceling out land to the swarms of
colonists expected, the commission is
withholding general call for emf,
grants.
The first civilian work to be done
in Africa is road building, this Off
cial says. For that purpose the work
ers are already there, taken down
to help the armies on their way to
Harrar and Adds Ababa 1t is likely
that most of the workers now in
Ethiopia will remain for the road
work, and that their numbers will be
augmented by demobilized soldiers.
II Duce recently indicated 100000
of the half-million men sent to Afri-
ca for the campaign against the
Negus would remain as workers and
guards. Many are expected to carry
on as colonists.
An Office is being set up in Ethio-
pia to study land opportunities and
arrange the distribution of new set
tiers.
Classify Immigrants
Already the Ministry of Colonies
has drafted plan IN which natives
and Italian newcomers fall into one
of five classes:
l. Italian farm laborers placed on
land which later they will be per-
mitted and helped to buy.
2. Small landholders with a bit
of money of their own able to start
themselves with little government
help.
3. Industrial colonists sent to reg
ions not suited to farming but utiliz-
able for complementary jobs as ma
chinists, artisans, railroaders, me-
chanics, and trucksters.
f. Shareholders who will cult
vate land with native help in regions
unfavorable to white labor.
S. Native farmers working under
the technical direction of Italian ex-
perts.
To place this somewhat complex
scheme into effect, the ministry has
annuonced commencement of a pre-
liminary examination of the judicial
situation to avoid friction between
colonists and native landowners. The
indications are that colonization will
begin near Adds Ababa, where the
juridical situation is best defined.
The agricultural scouts to be sent
abroad to study crop possibilities are
to be named as representatives of the
ministries of colonies and agriculture
and forestry, together with technical
men from the various Fascist con-
declarations involved.

time associates who were missing on
this trip. Mrs. Jarrett might not have
been tempted to flout authority. Critics
Of the Olympic management hold that
closer contacts and better UNDER
standing of the problems of personnel
would have produced better all-around
discipline.
Mrs. Jarrett's appeal for a final
chance was rejected for at least three
reasons: CD They considered the
Judgment sound. CD they did not
want to appear inconsistent under
pressure. and 90 they feared disci-
pline would break down on the entire
team if the verdict was changed or
Softened.
What most Olympic officials. includ-
ing Brundage, did not realize, was
that they automatically aroused Ma
tion-wide reaction at home. This re-
action was by no means all pro-
Jarrett or anti -Brundage. Both sides
OF the case were aired thoroughly.
Criticism was not confined to the
forces who had fought Brundage in
last years A. A. U. convention.
Brundage himself expressed surprise
that he had as much favorable re-
action or support for the committees
action as he received, to offset oppo-
site views.
A fight for the A. A. U. presidency.
from which Brundage is retiring after
seven terms Of Office, looms at Houston
to top of whatever echoes of the
Olympic trip develop in open meeting.
