expensive duplication of transmission facil-
tiles, help to coordinate the entire power
supply Of each region, and assure its wild
est possible use at the lowest practical
rates.
) Any savings made possible by this
plan should be passed along to the users
of electricity, under regulation by State
Commissions or other properly constituted
regulatory bodies. This will assure all the
benefits of river development and hydro
power without the added expense of
government going into business and
competing with its own citizens.
q Government in any business endan-
gers all business. Government in business
escapes many normal business obligations,
enjoys free mail, pays no federal taxes,
and few, if any, other taxes, little or no
interest. If government can sell electricity
on this basis, it can sell shoes, groceries,
automobiles, or anything else the same
way. Government may properly regulate
business in the public interest but should
not operate business. It should not play
in the game for which it makes the rules.
In other words, government should not
try to be umpire and pitcher at the
same time!

hIvER development and food control
rank high on the list of Americas post
war plans. Many of these projects call
for dams which may also produce cleo
trio power.
This involves issues that should be dis
cussed and settled now-rivers to cross
in advance.
Many of us in the power business have
had long experience with riverside
plants, in the production of both steam
generated and hydro-electric power. In
fairness to all taxpayers and in the inter
est of the many million users of electric
ity, we think we ought to outline our
convictions and suggestions on river
development and food control.
l When dam is proposed, all of its
purposes should be clearly defined in the
legislation-hood control, navigation, ir-
rigation or power. And just as clearly,
the benefit to the people affected should
justify the cost.
4 If power is produced at government
built dams, it should be sold to existing
power systems, without special privilege
or discrimination. This will save the

 CoroIines Caution
 Against Landings

Guam, Aug. 28-(UP)-The hold out Japanese garrisons on the Car oline and Palau islands have opened surrender negotiations, but have threatened to die fighting if the Americans attempt a premature landing, it was disclosed today.
 Pacific fleet headquarters revealed that Japanese delegation met with American military commanders aboard the U. s. destroyer escort Amick Aug. 23-25 to arrange the surrender of the islands, including the great naval base of Truk.
 Defiant
 Still defiant, the enemy envoys declared that the 44,OOO Japanese soldiers and 5000 civilians under their command would not lay down their arms until they received an official" order from Emperor Hiro- hito.
 (That indicated that the imperial envoy sent to convey Hirohito,s ceaSe-fire order to the island com manders might not have reached the Carolines and Palaus up to Aug. 25.)
 The island garrisons, the Japanese warned, Twill resist any attempt at premature American landing to the point of hara-kari."

Washington, Aug. 2S-(UP)-The trial of Rep. James M. Curley, D.. Mass, on mail fraud charges has been postponed from October 8 to November 20 to prevent an inter- ruption in Curley's campaign for mayor of Boston.
 William E. Leahy, attorney for Curley, won the postponement yes- terday from S. District Court Justice Bolitha Laws on the ground that it would be unfair to make Curley come here from Boston in the middle of his political cam- paign.
 The trial of the Massachusetts congressman and five other defend ants in the war contracts brokerage case originally wqas slated for last spring, but had been delayed until October because of Curley's poor health.

 ber of EmpIoyes

The Connecticut Department of Labor and Factory Inspection, of which John J. Egan is the head. has recently published al booklet con- taining . mass of information on Connecticut industries. It is called the Directory of Connecticut Manufacturing and Mechanical Establishments"
 It includes statistics, broken down by county and city, as to the num- Der of manufacturing and mechan- ical plants in the state and the number of employees which are employed therein, further divided into male and female groups.
 Encouraging
 The current issue of this directory is the first since 1943 and hence includes comparisons with statistics compiled two years ago. While the end of the war has doubtless brought many changes in the fig ures furnished, the 1945 figures cover the last half of April and the first half of May and accordingly are based on a period when the re- conversion changes had begun to be discounted.
 Specific encouragement for Wa terbury is to be derived from the following figures which show that this city has now passed New
