face hat, instead of being entirely off,
had just been substantially tied down
by Mr.. Zilchbuilt Astor-M Moore, who
may be seen on her right. With a
stiff breeze blowing Mr.. Astorzilch
Moorebuilt was heard to remark, eff
that monstrosity blows off again, it
will be the last straw-until next
winter. Then maybe you can get a
felt one.
Just then the rain descended and the
parade turned into stampede.
Notwithstanding all this the Easter
Bunny kept his date and kept the hens
working overtime to supply all his
baskets. What a surprise the hens
would get if they could see the result
of some coloring. Would probably
ask their farmer owner to change their
brand of egg mash, or at least the
color of it.
The real meaning of Easter was not
lost sight of. Churches in Oakland
were we'll filled on Sunday, and num-
Der of people were received into mem
bership.
Nothing To Do With Easter
While this story has nothing to do
with Easter, it has lot of bearing on
eggs.
If one has even short memory, he
is able to recall that when Mrs. Roose-
welt succeeded in building up Arthur
dale, near Reedsville, w. Va, to house
a lot of miners who had lost their jobs,
she had huge factory building cree
ted. In it the miners would work. Mil
lions of dollars were squandered at
Arthurdale. The factory building it
self cost $4,000. Then the search be-
gan for something to manufacture.
No business man could be found who
would undertake to manufacture any
thing there, in spite of all that the
West Virginia politicians might have
promised.
They still promised that there would
be factory there.
Recently they have been using the
building as community chicken coop.
A $4,000 chicken coop might be the
envy of any farmer.
While we don't know the results yet
we are willing to bet that any hens
that grow up over there will lay New
Deal eggs. And, Judging from lot
of these New Deal eggs that have been
scattered all over the country, we are
also willing to bet that if this factory"
produces any New Deal eggs, that 80
percent Of them will be bad ones.
It's a good thing that hens can't
vote.
Commencement orators this year
had better be careful. They are going
to have hard time telling the young
graduates how the world ought to be
run in view of the mess that the adults
have made of the job.

Women in politics have taken charge
of two municipal strongholds in the

there is much to be said for the

HOUSE ACTION
is DUE TODAY
Debate to Be Limited to
Assure Vote on Bill
Before Night.

By Uhned Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The
Administration called for action to-
day upon the first part of a three
fold program to maintain peace and
build up the nations armed
strength by the greatest peace-time
appropriation in history.
The temporary neutrality law
passed last session, lacking but II
days of expiration, comes up in the
House with plans for stringent limi-
tation of debate designed to pre-
vent amendment and assure a vote
before night.
Closely linked with efforts toward
American neutrality were plans of
President Roosevelt for a conference
of all western hemisphere nations,
probably at Buenos Aires this sum-
mer, to consolidate peace machinery
of the two Americas.
The neutrality legislation is di-
rectly tied up with the proposed
conference through a provision that
the law shall not apply to any South
or Central America nation at war
with an outside power.
Simultaneously, Administration
leaders pushed forward toward early
enactment of the $1,100,000, 900
Army Navy appropriation meas
ures, establishing new peak of
peace-time expenditures for arma-
mentS.

CARNEGIE HEAD
HITS PENSIONS
Townsend and Legion
Plans Branded Dangerous
to Economic Order.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. II. - The
Townsend Plan and all proposals
for government pensions we're at
tackled today by the Carnegie Foun-
dalton for the Advancement OF
Teaching, which has studied pen
sion systems longer than any other
American institution. Pension plans
it said, are dangerous to civil liber-
ties and economic order.
DR.. Henry S. Pritchett, the foun-
dationS president-emeritus, wrote
in the organizations thirtieth an
nual report that the relation of
politics and pension plans developed
by Townsend clubs and the Ameri-
can Legion is menace to the
whole Democratic system
The Townsend Plan, he said, is
"the most hopeless and alluring of
the proposals that have been put
forward for old-age pensions" and
is lone of the most visionary and
impossible schemes ever presented
for public acceptance.
He SAID the selfish and agrees
sive lobby created by so-called vet
Grams" has caused decentralization"
of Congress and worked more seri-
Gus harm to the nation than any
other similar organization in its his
tory"
1T has made the name American
Legion synonym not for courage
and patriotism, but for selfishness
and greed" he added.
DR.. Pritchett's argument against
government pensions was made in
his report of the foundations ac-
tivities to obtain universal teacher
pensions. He cited unsuccessful
pension schemes of European coun-
tries and analysed proposed Ameri-
can plans as they might apply to
members OF his profession.

Doomed Trio Saved

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE SUI
preme Court in an opinion read by
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes
today saved three back-country Mis-
sissippi Negroes from the hang
mans moose.
The Negroes we're convicted and
sentenced to death chiefly on the
strength of confessions admittedly
forced from them under the lash.
The Court said that there was no
doubt that the alleged confessions
upon which they were convicted
were obtained by force of sheer
brutality"

iva started to build the dam prop
err. 1t is located Is miles above the
wartime built Wilson Dam. It's
purpose is to eliminate the last trace
of the historic shoals, which gave
Muscle Shoals its name. A start has
been made further downstream on
PickWick Landing Dam.
On Jan. 2 IVA announced that
construction would begin imme-
diately on another dam on the Ten
nessee River above Chattanooga
This will be 104 feet high and $685.
feet long. Its purpose will be to
create a 9-foot channel for.60 miles
upstream.
The fifth dam SO far under way is
at Guntersville, Ala. Tentative plans
call for dam 4075 feet long and
30 feet high. This too, is to have
a navigation lock giving the river
a 9-foot stage in that vicinity.
IVA has been attacked in Con-
gresS as fostering atheism in many
Of its model towns and camps,
though authority officials have con-
sistently denied the charges.
Norris Is Delighted
Senator George w. Norris Or,
Neb), who sponsored the IVA in
Congress, heard the news while
lunching in the Senate Restaurant
with Senators Hiram w. johnson
(R., Cal0, and Robert M. La Fol-
lette prog, Wis.,.
I'm delighted" Norris beamed.
I'D have been heart-broken if the
decision had gone the other way.
ut relieves me of a tremendous
tension. I've thought, though, that
if Congress ever passed a measure
that was surely constitutional this
was it."
Norris said he thought the deci-
sion would give great impetus to
other Federal power projects.

direct influence over seven states
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, y sippi and
Kentucky-with an are almost as
large as England and a populs ton
almost as great as Norway.
Foremost task of the authority
was to control waters of the Ten
neSSee and its tributaries. The
river was described as :rUnning
away with the soil" and consequent
ly damaging agriculture and con-
tributing to floods in the MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley.
Answer to Perennial Question.
TWA was the New Deals answer
to the perennial political question
of what to do with Muscle Shoals
the giant World War nitrate plant.
But there were still other and
more significant detectives, includ-
ing the controversial power produc-
ton issue.
AS outlined by IVA officials, OBJ
jectives of the development briefly
are:
l. Unified development and con-
troll of water resources on the Ten
neSSee and tributaries through con-
struction of dams to provide navl-
cation, control floods and generate
electricity.
Aid to National Defense.
2. Provide for national defense
through operation in standby
condition, Nitrate Plant 2 at Muscle
Shoals, operate laboratories and ex-
perimental plants to furnish chemi-
Gals for military purposes and agri-
cultural purposes in most econom-
ical manner.
3. Experimentation and demon
Stration to improve, increase and
cheaper distribution of the major
elements of plant food needed to
rehabilitate the soil.
4. Disposition of surplus power to
greatest number of people to assist
IN hquidating the cost of the au-
thority's projects.
Dams Are C0-0rdlnated
5. Planning for a complete river
watershed including demonstra-
tions of proper methods of erosion
control, afforestation and use of
marginal lands.
To control the river a system
of co-ordinated dams is being con-
structed. In addition to their flood
control feature, the dams are to
open new inland waterway some
$50 miles long between the Ohio
river at Paducah, KY, and Knox
vile, Tenn. IVA officials emphasize
that the authority will open the
mineral resources of the region to
development. They insist, however,
that hydro electric power is only a
secondary motive in the huge prof.
ect.
Two dams are to be completed
early this year. The first major
construction project, Norris dam,
named after Senator George w.
Norris, rises as high as an l8-story
building, on the Clinch River, trib-
utary of the Tennessee. This is so
miles northwest of Knoxville, Tenn.
The dam is to cost $34, 100000.
Wheeler Dam Near Completion
Also nearing completion is Wheel
er Dam, a s28,0o0,000 non-storage
type, so feet high and 5000 feet long.
Its navigation lock was completed
