amazing progress in expanding the
USE of power in this country has
been almost entirely the work of
private industry. Government power
producing agencies have, in the past,
been extremely minor factors.
Today about 40 mechanical horse
power is available in this country
for each family the equivalent of
400 human slaves. The bulk OF this
power is electrical. That is a record
OF achievement unparalleled any
where else In the world-and is to
a great extent responsible for the
fact that American wages and the
American standard of living are the
highest on earth. The only reason
able deduction that can be made is
that our past power policy, under
which private Initiative has develop
ed the nations power resources, sub
ject to fair public regulation, has
been a magnificent success.

United States Leads
Electrically

The United States not only leads
the entire world in production and
use of power, but the electric gen.
Grating capacity in this country is
nearly one-third greater than that OF
Great Britain and Canada. Germany,
France, Russia, italy and Japan
combined, according to the report of
the Science Committee of the Nation
al Resources Committee.
Mechanical power, in the short
interval of little more than a CEN
tury," the report says by transfer
ring reliance from animate to inani-
mate energy, has revolutionized the
whole environment of human life by
enabling man to utilize the energy
and materials of his environment
more effectively. Past civilizations
rested upon human slavery; our
times are dependent upon mechani-
cal power and energy resources. :.
''In order that humanity at large
may gain the greatest benefit from
the age of mechanical power, sus-
tanned and clear thinking of many
minds will be needed. The future
power policy of this country must
be considered upon a fact-finding
basis, without prejudice or passion.
and action must be taken slowly and
deliberately so as not to hinder pro-
gress."
During the last few years, discus
sions of power policy have been
largely dominated by prejudice and
passion which the committee de-
plores. There has been determined
campaign. largely of po-
itical origin. to persuade the public

Red Cross Looks Ahead
To Flood in Mississippi
International News service


Driving ahead on a 24-hour
schedule for their eighth conSecu-
tive day, the disaster relief direc-
tors of the Red Cross today cen
tered their attention to mobiliza-
tion of forces far in advance Of
the crest of the disastrous flood
sweeping down the Ohio River into
the Mississippi.
Coordinated forces Of the Gov
ernment and local volunteers had
the relief situation under control
in the inundated areas. All per-
sons in danger had been or were
being removed to points of safety.
Food was being distributed and
housing and clothing provided for
all needy.
SerumS and toxins to prevent
spread of disease were being sped
by train. airplane, truck and boat
to the flooded towns, cities and
farm communities in PennSyl-
vania, West Virginia, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Indiana and Illinois.
But looking ahead, just as they
had been looking ahead since the
first of last week, the Red Cross
officials were concentrating prep
arations to meet the flood as it
sweeps into the Mississippi.
A total of 1900 river boats have
been concentrated near Memphis,
Tenn, to meet emergencies if the
flood does not recede. Sites for
concentration camps for refugees
have been selected as far south as
Louisiana. All details have been
arranged for shipment of tents,
bedding, food, supplies to those
camps if needed.

Faithful Workers
All the women in this depart
ment are veteran and faithful Red
Cross workers. Miss Maude Lewis
sits at her desk, and answers queS.
tions from nearby States as to the
fate of brother or mother or child
in the deep countries. AS soon as
she can get any information from
the welfare center nearest to the
town mentioned, she calls back
Mrs. Blank, of Bethesda, or some
where, and tells her all she can.
Mrs. Anne Crowell is answering
questions and sending messages
about Kentucky alone.
Women are handling most Of
the work-and handling it well.
In the annex are 100 girls per
forming clerical work, of which
about IS are emergency workers,
assigned to the tabulation and as
sortment Of the money and mail
which is pouring in.

weather Man G. Harold Noyes TO
day had a scientific explanation
as to why the East has been liter
ally sweltering, the Midwest has
been floating and the Far West
shivering.
In the East, said NoyeS, an
aerial gulf stream" of warm equa-
torial currents has been hanging
around with no competition from
cold air streams.
In the Midwest, the warm air
currents and the cold air currents
have been waging battle for su-
premacy, which caused the floods.
And in the Far West, the Arctic
air has been holding sway.

ChaSte Government buildings
which hitherto served as public
models of orderliness almost over
night have become emergency
camps because of the flood as
generals moved Army cots into
council rooms and telephones and
typewriters. 40 deep. stood in as.
Sembly halls once devoted to ele-
CANT chairs and sofas.
At the switchboard in the pala-
tial Red Cross building Mrs. B.
Newby and her emergency assist
ant were receiving and re-routing
long-diStance calls at the rate Of
three a minute. They estimated
that in less than two days they had
received more calls than in an
ordinary month, and they had
worked more than Is hours at
stretch. Three operators take the
day tour, and two serve at night.
Nurses Sent Out
About so per cent of the calls are
inquiries for friends and relatives
in the flood-Stricken areas, and
the other so offers of aid from all
over the United States. These
calls are swiftly transferred to the
corps of nurses, welfare workers
and other specialists in an emer-
gency workshop in the assembly
hall below.
Under the able generalship of
Miss Malinde Havey, Red Cross di-
rector Of public health, and Miss
Ida F. Butler, director of Red Cross
nursing, nurses are being deS-
patched to all parts of the flooded
area and transferred to others, as
greater needs arise with greater
waters.
Many nurses in the stricken
areas are finding it impossible to
get through, and are told to move
on to a more needy point, or to
wait until boats are available. AL
Of these orders are issued either

TRAIN SERVICE

Train service out of washington
has been badly curtailed by floods
in the Ohio Valley, with many
trains cancelled and others re-
routed.
All service on the Chesapeake
and Ohio lines, including the crack
George washington Limited, are
being halted at st. Albans, w. Va.
Efforts were made to extend the
service to Huntington, w. Va, but
engineers found this to be impoS-
Sible.
The National Limited of the
Baltimore and Ohio, which nor
maIly passes through Cincinnati
and Louisville en- route to st. Louis,
is being rerouted through Pitts
burgh and Chicago. Train No. 3
on the st. Louis run, over the same
route, has been cancelled.
The Pennsylvania has cancelled
all trains between Indianapolis
and Louisville. Trains scheduled
for Cincinnati are halted at Nor
wood, and trains for Wheeling,
w. Va, are halted at Weirton
Junction.
The Pennsylvania announced
today that food, clothing and
other supplies consigned to the
Red Cross in the stricken areas
will be carried free of charge. The
free movement of relief supplies
will be continued for 18 days.
