COAL BODY BACKS
T.V. COMPETITOR
Will Support Petition of Firm to
Build Tennessee Power
Plant.

The National Coal Association an
nounced yesterday that it will sup
port the petition of the Tennessee
Electric Power Co. for permission to
erect S2,OO0,000 steam electric power
generating plant at Nashville
The Tennessee Electric Power Co.
is q competitor of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority. Both the company
and the Government agency will ap-
pear on May before the Tennessee
Railroad and Public Utilities Com
mission, which must give its approval
before the power company can under
take to construct the proposed new
power plant.
The National Coal Association,
through its executive secretary, J.
D. Battle, announced that it would
also appear before the Tennessee
commission to support the power
company's petition.
I'VE are not concerned with the
controversy between the T. v. A. and
the private power companies in Ten
nessee," Battle said. I'VE hold no
brief for the private power companies.
But the Nashville situation as it has
now developed presents a clear-cut
issue of steam power VS.. T. v. A.
hydro-power. 1t is striking illus
tration of the direct damage and
loss to the coal industry and to the
railroads which arises when Gov
ernment-subsidized hydro power seeks
to displace steam-generated power
regardless Of comparative cost"

BROOKINGS REPORTS
ON ECONOMIC STUDY
Sees Reasons for Optimism Bal
aneed by Unfavorable Threat
ening Factors

A pamphlet summarizing the find
ings of the Brookings Institution, fol-
lowing an extensive study of the recov-
cry problems facing the Nation, has
been published by the Public Affairs
Committee, which said it found reasons
for optimism regarding the future, but
that they were balanced by unfavor-
able factors which threaten to throw
us back into the depression"
The publication summarizes the re-
ouirementS for consistent program
for recovery as follows: Re-establish-
ment Of a balanced Federal budget;
continuation Of the administration S
present policy of maintaining fixed
price for gold and establishment of a
system of stable foreign exchanges;
extension of the reciprocal tariff policy
as the best means of reducing trade
barriers.
Also it lists a preservation Of exist
ing favorable ratio of prices and wages,
with an emphasis on the reduction of
prices as means of carrying the bene-
fits Of chronological progress to all
groups within the country; the main
tenance in general Of the prevailing
hours OF labor as the only means of
achieving the necessary increases in
production; elimination of all practices
and policies which tend to restrict pro-
duction, and shifting the emphasis of
agricultural policy from the restriction
of output to such expansion of pro-
duction as is needed to supply the raw
materials and foodstuffs required for
the larger markets of the future.
The committee said there is some
danger of an inflationary movement
generated by forces operating in the
field of private business and in the in
stability in the international sphere.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associatec Press.
Commonwealth President Manuel
Quezon, planning to adapt American
and European ideas on farm tenancy
and co-operatives to the Philippine
Islands, said yesterday he had engaged
Frederic c. Howe as an adviser.
Howe, former A. A. A. consumers
counsel, said he expected to obtain an
indefinite leave of absence as special
adviser to Secretary Wallace and go
to Manila in September.
The Filipino leader told of plans for
new attack" on the Philippines an
cient problem of tenancy as he left on
a months trip to Denmark and Ire
land. He halted temporarily negotia-
tions to revise Philippine American re-
lations and advanced the date for final
freedom of the Filipinos from 1946 to
either next year or 1889.
The problem of tenancy, particu-
larly on the main island of Luzon, has
plauged American and Filipino officials
since the United States wrested the
Philippines from Spain in 1898.
William Howard Taft. after serving
as Governor General negotiated
through the Vatican the sale of sew
eral large Spanish friar estates, which
were divided and sold to small plant
ers. Many large tracts remain, how
ever.
Quezon said he studied Mexico's
land difficulties on a trip there this
month, and expected to find methods
In Denmark and Ireland that might
be transplanted to the islands.
Howe disclosed the Filipino leader
also was interested in the American at.
tack on the problem embodied in the
farm tenancy bill now awaiting 4
doubtful fate in Congress.
The A. A. A. official has been cred
tied with helping draft that measure.
He is also the author of a book pic
turing Denmark as "the cooperative
commonwealth" and has studied Ire
lands difficulties with absentee land
lordism.

over the death of Senator Bachman

more than 20 years. He was American
delegate to the International None
tary and Economic Conference in Lon
don in June, 1888.

ATTRACTSB|DDERS
MidWeStern Interests Due
to Renew Quest for
Control.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fIeSS.
NEW YORK, April 24.-Midwestern
interests are expected to renew their
quest for control of G. A. Balls hold
ings Of Mid-America Corp. with re-
sumption of negotiations for sale of
the former Van SWeringen railroad en-
pire, it was said today in usually we'll
informed Wall Street circles.
The recent withdrawal of the bid
entered by the group headed by Dom
aldson Brown, General Motors execu-
tive, was believed to have cleared the
field of prospective buyers, but finan-
cial quarters regarded it as certain
that some new bidders would be
heard from in the near future.
A Midwest syndicate sought to make
q deal with Ball before the entry Of
the Brown faction, but each group
dropped negotiations because of threats
of Washington opposition to transfer
of control of the 28,OO0-mile rail sys-
tenn represented by Balls majority
holdings of Mid-America Corp. The
latter were recently vested in cha-it-
able foundation founded by Ball.
When the Midwestern group, in
which John A. Coakley, traffic manager
for United States Steel, was promi-
nent, terminated negotiations, it was
said it's action was based partly on
possible legal complications in con-
nection with the Van SWeringen
estate claims.
Belief was expressed that Frederick
H. Prince, Boston capitalist with large
Midwestern industrial and railroad
interests, would be an important figure
in any new negotiations. Prince was
believed to have been a member of the
original Midwestern party which nego-
tiated with Ball.

HALF BILLION INCREASE
IN FARM INCOME NOTED
First Quarter Total Reported ST.
e45,oOo,ooo in Upsurg. of

Business Activity.
BY the Associated Press.
Government estimates credited
farmers today with a cash income gain
Of nearly half billion dollars IN ths
first quarter of this year compared with
the similar 1886 period The respectiv.
totals were $l,945, 900 900 and $500
900 900.
The sharp climb, experts said, was
caused In part by the upward surge OF
general business activity and in part
by abnormal reactions from last sum
mer's drought.
High prices Of grains have put some
additional money in some farmers
pockets, the economists said, and have
forced others to sell of hogs and cattle.
Government benefit payment under
the 1886 Federal program also account
ed for some of the gain. More than
5000 100000 went to farmers from that
source in the first three months this
year, against sl6.O0o,0OO in the same
period Of 1885.
