Britain rushed yesterday to speed
up her huge rearmament program
by placing it on a wartime pro-

foreign policy to prevent war in
Europe.
Sir Thomas Inskip, defense CO.

Premier Leon Blum of France
yesterday completed agreements

A rebellious house yesterday over
rode appeals by it's leaders and re-
jected a $2,613,0OO appropriation
to begin construction of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority's project
ed $112,000,000 super-dam at Gil
bertsville, Ky.
The roll call vote was 1876 to
157.
The action came during consid-
Grafton of the conference report
on the 81, 22,OO0,O0O independent
offices appropriation bill for the
1889 fiscal year and represented a
sharp setback for the administra-
ton which wages a strong cam
raign for the dam.
A bipartisan group attacked the
wisdom of the project at this time
in view of sensational charges OF
scandal involving the three feud-
ing IVA directors.
The item had been inserted IN
the senate-approved appropriation
bill despite the fact that the house
had twice baked at accepting 1t.

WASHINGTON, Mar %. CUP
President Roosevelt today trans
mitted to congress a full report
of his removal of Arthur E. Nor
gan as director of the IVA and
emphasized that he had no objec-
ton to a full congressional inquiry
into the situation.
The presidents message was &C
companied by an advisory opinion,
written by Solicitor General Rob-
ert H. Jackson, acting attorney
general, upholding the presidents
legal right to remove Morgan
from office.
President Roosevelt's action was
expected to be followed shortly by
action by senate and house lead
ers to obtain full congressional in
quiry into the bitter IVA conflict.
The president did not specifical-
ly request such an inquiry but
Morgan himself was expected to
file court action challenging legal
ity of his removal by the presi-
dent.
at is clearly the right of con-
gress at any time to undertake
any fair inquiry into the admins
tration of the IVA or its policies
which congress may deem in the
public interest" the president said

withdrew from the cabinet and
merged with Henlein's Sudcten

The surprise move, hailed by

SUMMARY ACTION
UPHELD BY JACKSON

WASHINGTON, Mar. %. CUP
President Roosevelt yesterday
summarily discharged Chairman
Arthur E. Morgan of the Tennes-
see Valley authority, who defied
his private investigation of IVA
internal strife and challenged his
power to GUST him.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the custer
was effective today, at which
time he will transmit the whole
record of the dispute to congress
in a special message, along with
an opinion from Attorney Gen
eral Homer S. Cummings uphold
ing his action.
He said that Morgan would be
replaced as chairman by DR.. Har-
court A. Morgan. The latter and
Director David E. Lilienthal COM
pose the majority of the board
and have been bitterly opposed
by Arthur Morgan, who made
sensational charges against them.
The president fired the chair
man in accordance with an ulti-
matum served Monday. At that
time he gave Morgan until 2:3O
p. m. yesterday to recant the
charges, resign, or face suspen-
sion or custer.
Morgan told him he would not
resign, that he questioned his
power to discharge him, and
boarded train for his rural home
in Yellow Springs, o., where he
went into seclusion to await the
presidents decision.
He intimated he may challenge
the custer in the courts.
The chief executive based his
action on three reasons, as fol-
lows:

libelous charges of dishonesty ana
