WILL RUSH
POWER PROJECTS
ICkes Announces Policy of
Avoiding Duplication of
Private Business.

The Public Works Administration
prepared today to hasten action on -
municipal power projects following
formal announcement by Administra-
tor Ickes yesterday of a policy that
will prevent duplication of existing
private power facilities unless the
utility has refused q fair" purchase
offer.
The 40 power projects, involving an
outlay of about $4,000. 900, have been
held up pending adoption by the ad-
ministrator of the new power policy.
Mr.. Ickes' long-awaited statement
validates the assurance given the SEN
ate by Majority Leader Barkley that
no funds from the $1,000 ,000. 900 p.
w. A. appropriation in the last recov-
cry bill would be spent on needless
competition with private utilities.
Senator Barkley's statement was made
in what proved to be a successful
effort to defeat an amendment which
would have written such a prohibition
into the law.
Ickes to Be Arbitrator.
Mr.. Ickes asserted the purpose OF
the new policy was not Ito cause or
induce any privately-owned utility to
sell its facilities, but merely to provide
that no funds shall be advanced upon
any application unless the utility shall
have had an opportunity to sell, at a
fair and reasonable price, when the
utility would be otherwise SubStan-
TALLY duplicated by the municipality"
When negotiations between a mu-
nicipality and private concern occur,
Mr.. Ickes will be the arbitrator, hear
ing rival claims and deciding whether
the purchase offers are reasonable.
1t was reported the announcement
was made with the advice of Thomas
G. Corcoran, presidential adviser, and
Benjamin v. Cohen, general counsel
for the National Power Policy Commit
tee. However, officials denied Mr.. Cor
coran had any part in it, but said it
was only natural that Mr.. Cohen would
have been consulted because of his
position with the committee.
Several types of projects were exempt
from the new policy. 1t was indicated
1t would apply primarily to proposed
retail distribution systems.
The administrator said projects for
which allotments already had been
made would not be affected by the
new general policy.

Common Sense
About Constipation

# you knew that your constipa-
ton was caused by something
left out Of your food, wouldn't It
be just common sense to put that
something back?
Your trouble may be caused by
nothing more than this. For the
most common kind of constipa-
ton Is due to lack of bulk" in
the bowels need some food
that passes on through the
stomach without being digested.
Kellogg's All-Bran supplies this.
It gives the bowels the bulky
mass they need to work properly.
And All-Bran also gives them
the intestinal-tonic, vitamin b.,
which helps restore their tone.
Eat All-Bran a. q cereal or
baked To mufins. But however
you eat 1t, be sure you get some
epery day. And drink plenty of
water. A11-Bran is made by
Kellogg in Battle Greek. Sold by

AUTO JUNKINC
PLAN USELESS
Rearrangement of Dis
counts to Dealers May:
Take Its Place
BY DON PRYOR
,,.;,.d Press Staff Correspondent

DETROIT, May 6. (UP).-The
law of supply and demand ap'
neared today to have won We
tory which probably will conslgr
many used car junking plans tc
| the waste basket.
concensus of industry seems
to indicate that none Of the boot
strap lifting schemes widely her
aided as a means of breaking the
current used car jam will be
adopted, but that the final so!u'
, ton might lie in a simple rear
! rangement of manufacturer dis
counts to dealers.
The whole problem was turned
over by the recent convention OF
the National Automobile Dealers
association to the organizations
officers and executive committee.
4 spokesman close to this group
said that opinion is veering away
from plans to subsidize junking
through an industry Sterilization
board" or some other agency.
Such schemes gained wide sup
port before and during the con-
vention.
The United Press informant in
dictated that much Of the current
problem - millions of ancient
"ialopies" on the road, cluttcring
an already saturated" market
was caused by a manufacturer
policy of Substituting over-allow-
ances for used cars.
For about the last five years
manufacturers have given their
dealers an inflated discount to
cover the expense Of granting
customers inflated allowances on
used cars.
Average discounts to dealers
now are "a percent, or $40 on a
$1,000 automobile. Authorities
are beginning to argue that the
discounts should be cut to 20 per-
cent, making it possible to lover
the price to $500 and effectively
barring the dealer from allowing
$50 on $50 car when he takes
it in trade. They believe many "A
WORKOUT wreck then would be
nut on the junk heap where it be-
longs. .
One major manufacturer en-
ployed such a discount policy in
the early 20's. And it worked UNI
til one of his competitors, seeking
a larger share Of the trade in that
price-class, upped the discount so
it's dealers could make more at
tractive trade-in allowances.

plans" our. informant said, ARE

Dear me-" Evelyn sighed. "The
way you take on, darling, one
would think you weren't even en-

"Certainly we're engaged"
Roger threw Jackie a warning
glance. But you must give us Il

"Of course, dear boy. But you
must start right now and call me

Jackie did choke on her wine
this time. She was glad this ter
rible dinner was nearly over. III
her mother thought she would
ever call Mr.. Scott father, shc
would have to guess again!
and now" Evelyn said, as she
led the way from the dining room;
"of course you children would
like to be by yourselves. Why
don't you take another moonlight
ride? Maybe then you can decide
things definitely"
That's a swell idea," Roger
agreed.
Jackie thought anything would
be better than this third degree.
She slipped upstairs to get light
wrap.
Well" she said,. as soon as
they were settled in Rogers long,
low roadster, what do you think
of your hot idea now? If you
knew all I've been through" She
gave d tremendous sigh an dset-

darkly.
Roger glanced down at her. She
looked so sweet and lonely. He
had been driving at what was
practically a snail's pace since it
was his contention that four
wheeled conveyances were far
more dangerous than those with
wings, but now he drove even
more slowly.
I've got something to tell you"
he said. "Something terribly I'M

did not tell her right away. In
stead he did something he had
had no intention Of doing at all.
Maybe it was the fault of that
silver of a moon, or because
Jackie turned to look up at him:
He bent and kissed her-full on
her pretty fresh young lips. A
breathless sort of kiss, like test
dive like flight to the moon
itself.
But it only lasted for second.
Jackie swung q strong young
arm; a resounding slap struck him
squarely across his jaw.

she cried furiously. And then she
