Aftermath!


From Hollywood some months
ago, we wrote about the string OF
beads which Boris Morros. gen.
eral music director Of Paramount
Pictures, always carries with him.
They were given to him, accord
ing to Boris, by the evil-eyed old
RaSputin himself many years ago

result, practically everyone Of
note, either in Hollywood or New
York, has at some time or other
requested Boris to permit them to
touch the beads. Once, Gloria
Swanson laughed at the idea
when she was playing the Para
mount Theater here-and laid
the worst egg in the history Of
the house. Russ Columbo spurned
the beads although he in,
sisted to friends it was because
he wanted to get Boris goat-and
met his violent death. All this
by way of prelude.
A week later we wrote that
war veteran living in Queens who
had read the piece wrote to Morros
asking him if it were possible co
send the beads to him to touch,
promising faithfully to return
them. He was blind-and soon
to undergo an operation. Boris,
who never leaves them out of his
possession, wrote back that it was
impossible but that he was touch
ing his letter of reply to the
beads-the magic would work
equally as well he was sure.
Morros has sent this depart
ment a note, inclOsing a letter
from the blind war veteran. 1t
reads, in part: "YOu touched
the letter you wrote me with
Rasputin'S beads. Content,
though of a creed different than
that prOfeSSed by RaSputin,
carried your letter into the
operating room along with me.

bandages from my eyes. The

my faith, has restored 2O-4O

giving the sacred privilege Of
once again walking and living

justices except Justice McReynolds.
He read a dissenting opinion.
Because of circumscribed limits the
decision was much narrower than
most of the New Deal findings of the
Supreme court. 1t was limited strict
Nv to the terms of the contract on
which the suit was brought, namely,
ACQUISITION by IVA of a transmission
line to convey power from the Wilson
dam.
Certain phases are still open for
possible legal contest in the future,
and only Wilson dam, not Norris dam
or any other dam constructed or pro-
jected on the Tennessee river was in
yolved in the courts finding.
The legal right of the federal gov
eminent to acquire and own transmits
sion lines to market for surplus en-
ergy-never before directly passed
upon by the United States Supreme
court-was ruled upon in the affirma-
tive. Unanswered is the question of
what constitutes surplus power.
Among the chief points in the ma
jority opinion were these:
Tie government had full authority
to build Wilson dam-keystone Of
IVA.
Congress has undisputed power to
order disposal of electricity developed
at the dam.
The government acted legally in
building or obtaining through purchase
from private companies certain trans
mission lines to transport power to a
wider market.
The government has the same right
to dispose of surplus power as it would
have to dispose Of copper, gold, and
minerals on public lands.
Justice McReynolds in answer to
this said:
"If under the thin mask Of dispos-
ing of property the United States can
enter the business of generating, trans
hitting and selling power, as, VIXEN
and wherever, some board may spe-
city, with the definite design to &C.
con1plish ends wholly beyond the
sphere marked out for them by the
Constitution, an easy way has been
found for breaking down the limita-
lions heretofore supposed to guaran-
tee protection against aggression"
Chairman Frank r. McNinch of the
federal power commission said the
IVA decision settles all questions Of
constitutionality of such federal prof.
ects as Grand Coulee, Bonneville and
Fort Peck"

to Investigate Clashes

A CCORDING to an official commu-

border.
The offer of the Japanese govern

House Passes the Huge
War Department Bill

TINE War department bill, appropri-
l. ating approximately 545 million dol
lars for national Defense" was passed
by the house. For purely military pur-
poses the sum of $376, 1868 is allot-
ted. The remainder, $16S, 359,9S goes
for rivers and harbors projects, gen.
orally classed as pork"
An attempt to put back into the bill
a $29,00O,0OO appropriation for carry
ing on such projects as the Passama-
quoddy tidal power experiment in
Maine and the Florida ship canal was
suppressed firmly. Not until congress
has authorized these projects will more
funds be provided them, the leaders
ruled. N
The military budget provided by the
bill will be sufficient to maintain an
average army of $4,000 men during
the coming year. BY 1889, according
to the War department, the maximum
of 10000 permitted by congress should
be reached. s' ,l
The most important amendment add
ed to the bill was one providing for
the employment each year of 1000 re-
serve officers on active duty for a r.
month period, of whom so will be an

Plan to Cash the Bonus
Without New Taxes

A CITING on behalf of the senate f.
4 \ nance committee, Senator Byrnes
consulted the executive department
and then introduced an amendment to
the independent offices appropriation
bill to provide $1,746.0O0.OOO to cash
the veterans bonus. He predicted that
1t would require no new taxes. The
sum mentioned will be sufficient,
Byrnes said, together with the 254 mil
lion dollars now In the adjusted service
certificate fund, to pay in full every
outstanding bonus certificate.
In addition to appropriating the cash,
the Byrnes amendment would transfer
507 million dollars In bonds to the
United States government life insur-
ance fund to repay loans on bonus
certificates.
