T.V. A. RULING LEAVES
3 MAJOR QUESTIONS
Right of P. W. A. to Loan Money
to Cities to Build Power Plants
Is One Issue.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The r. v. A. decision, ending one
round in the New Deals court fight
with utilities, leaves at least three
major questions still awaiting Supreme
Court decision.
None of these is yet before the high
court, and Government lawyers be-
1ieve they will not be decided there
before next Fall
The three issues are:
P. w. A. loans to municipalities to
build their own power plants-More
than 80 suits have been started in the
District of Columbia courts alone.
challenging these loans. A suit against
the $2,000,0 900 loan for project at
Greenwood, S. c., is already in the
Circuit Court Of Appeals. Either that
case or a Hominy. Okla, suit in the
District of Columbia courts is ex-
pected to carry the question before
the nine Supreme justices.
Federal Power Commission-In the
"new river case" the Allegheny Power
Co. has challenged the commissions
right to require companies leasing
Government dam sites to submit to
Federal regulation of rates, accounts
and business practices.
Public utilities holding companies
The power of the Securities Commits
sion to require these companies to
register with it has been challenged
in more than so injunction suits.
Such registration is the first step in
the administration of the new utilities
law, which aims at eliminating some
holding companies, splitting up others
and regulating the remainder.

ARTICLE CAUSING
SUIT CALLED TRUE
Newspaper Counsel Cites
Laws Guaranteeing
Press Liberty.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Pa, February 10.
Attorney Ralph B. Evans told
Jury today he proposes to show the
truth OF an article published by the
Philadelphia Inquirer last September
20, which Attorney General Charles
j. Margioth has made the basis OF
libel charges against the newspaper.
Outlining the defense case in Q
brief opening argument, the 1nquirer's
counsel said:
"I propose by convincing testimony
to satisfy you that In the publication
of this article the Inquirer acted In
perfect good faith and every state
ment In that article Is absolutely
true"
The article was headed "MargioEti's
law partners plan big tax fee grab"
and referred to o new State law con-
cerning the method OF collecting
personal property taxes.
Attorney Evans said: Fortunately
we still have Constitution In both
the United States and in Pennsylvania
guaranteeing the freedom OF the
press"
Evans also quoted this Pennsylvania
legislative measure, passed to support
the constitutional provision:
In all criminal prosecutions or
indictments for libel. no conviction
shall be allowed If the subject matter
related to candidates for public
ONCE or the official conduct of public
officers, Is found to the satisfaction of
the jury to be proper for public in
formation or investigation and not to
have been maliciously or negligently
made"

TEXT BOOK STUDY
WILL Be RESUMED
DR.. BaIIou's Committee Re.
ceives Challenge From
Editor of Publication.

The special committee set up by
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools, to study magazines and
textbooks used by pupils, today had
before it q challenge from Maurice
r. Robinson of Pittsburgh, editor of
Scholastic" to prove the paper is
either "red" or subversive.
The committee which has sub
mitted several partial reports to the
Board of Education expects to have
another ready when the board meets
tomorrow. Because each publication
must have a stated reason either for
its continuance in the schools or its
cancellation as student aid, men,
bers of the committee have been
forced to delay their complete re-
port to study files of the various
publications.
No final action was taken on
Scholastic" yesterday. That paper
has been cited by foes of Communism
as having allegedly treated Russia
in a biased light. The editor has
denied the charge and has insisted
that the committee pass on the
paper from a point of view without
permitting other factors to deter
mine whether or not the publication
should be continued.
The paper heretofore has been sub
scribed to by the students themselves
and has not been purchased with
public funds. Its use is optional and
has been confined to studies of cur
rent events and history.
Although a number of publications
already have been dropped on recon-
mendation Of the special committee,
none so far has been found to be
Communistic or subversive.

The court also refused their request
for a declaratory judgment, which
would have enjoined the Government

built.
Majority Opinion.
In delivering the majority opinion
Chief Justice Hughes said: I'VE limit
our decision to the case before us, as
we have defined it.
THE argument is earnestly pre-
sented that the Government by virtue
of its ownership of the (Wilson) dam
and power plant could not establish
a steel mill and make and sell steel
products, or a factory to manufacture
clothing or shoes for the public, and
thus attempt to make its ownership
of energy, generated at its dam, a
means of carrying on competitive
commercial enterprises and thus
drawing to the Federal Government
the conduct and management of busi-
ness having no relation to the pur-
poses for which the Federal Govern
ment was established.
THE picture is eloquently drawn,
but We deem it to be irrelevant to
the issue here. The Government Is
not using the water power at the
Wilson Dam to establish any indus
try or business.
Not Regarded Manufacture.
"It is not using the energy gener-
ated at the dam to manufacture COM
modities of any sort for the public.
THE Government is disposing of
the energy itself. which simply is the
mechanical energy. incidental to fall
ing water at the dam, converted into
the electric energy which Is suscepti-
BILE of Transmission.
"The question here is simply as to
the acquisition of the transmission
lines as a facility for the disposal of
that energy.
And the Government rightly con-
ceded at the bar, in substance, that 1t
was without constitutional authority
to acquire or dispose of such energy
except as it comes into being in the
operation Of works constructed in the
exercise Of some power delegated to
the United States.
"As we have said, these transmission
lines lead directly from the dam, which
has been lawfully constructed, and the
question of the constitutional right of
the Government to acquire and operate
local or urban distribution systems is
not involved"

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, February
ia public appeal was made today
by the Free Lance Star, local news
paper, for acceptances to the 20-to-1
bet offered by Representative Sol
Bloom that Walter johnson would not
succeed in his attempt to initiate the
supposed feat of George Washington
in throwing silver dollar across the
Rappahannock River.
The newspaper opened the list with
bet of $50, with provision that the
stakes be given to fund for the pur-
chase as public shrine of the Ferry
Farm, Washington's boyhood home
and scene of the alleged dollar-throw-
ing stunt.
A quick response was expected from
Fredericksburg people, who not only
have confidence that the famous
pitcher can duplicate the feat. but who
also are anxious to have the Washing
ton farm preserved as a national
shrine.
The width of the river at the point
of the ollar-throwing incident is
about 375 feet. Records disclose that
the longest throw of base ball is
426 feet.
Representative Bloom doubts the
authenticity of the prowess of young
George Washington, and declares it is
impossible to throw dollar across the
river at that point. He offers to bet
20 to / to back his judgment and it
is expected that goodly sized purse
will be subscribed here in acceptance
of his challenge.
Walter Johnson's throw will be part
of the exercises here on February %
when a memorial boulevard from
Fredericksburg to the Washington
Peery, the General Assembly of Vir-
ginia and many other guests in at
tendance.
At his Germantown, Nd, farm
Johnson, former speed ball king OF
big league base ball, began practicing
with a dollar against his barn door.
Maybe I can't throw that far" he
drawled, but there's one thing GER
tain-if George Washington did it, ]

Commission, few into high dudgeon
over the myth" that the first Presi-
dent performed the feat.
why, it's preposterous," he said,
'it's ridiculous. Not only is it physi-
cally impossible, but if you boil down
the fable, you'll find that Washington
was about 10 years old when the
miracle was supposed to have hap
pened."
With the snow a foot deep, john
son commenced his practice with a
silver dollar borrowed in Washington
by a newspaper man and carried to
Germantown.
The former pitcher stepped OF SO
yards. = He faced a yellow barn door
and drew back his right arm. 1t
came down in that same sweeping
way that won him lasting base ball
fame. and the coin whizzed through
the air.
"Ping!" 1t went against the door.
A hired hand stuck his head out of
the loft.
Whats that?" he asked.
"Silver dollar" said johnson, I'm
throwing it."
The man shook his head at such
antics and withdrew.
