River Power Projects
Similar 10 IVA Called
Rein on Bureaucracy

Leland Olds, chairman of the
Federal Power Commission, said
yesterday that river development
projects. patterned after the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, would stem
bureaucracy and monopoly by en-
couraging autonomous regional
economies.
At a conference Of the People s
Lobby, Inc, In the YWCA, the FPC
head disclosed that the Federal
Governments program for develop
ing river basins would provide twice
as much electric power as the
Nation used last year. The utilities
industry is lobbying for the author
ity to distribute this power in an
effort to maintain high rates which
already are proving a barrier to the
development of local industries, Mr..
Olds charged.
The Potomac River area was one
Of many the speaker said would
gain industrially by the proposed
flood control, navigation, irrigation
and power projects. The people in
each area should have the right
to decide how the power is mar
keted, he said.
By promoting industrial decen-
tralization, the river projects would
reverse the present trend toward
an all-powerful corporate bureauc-
racy and monopolistic business, ;"
Mf. Olds declared.
AS the only alternative to a pow
erful Government required to con-
troll big business, Mr.. Olds advocated
the development of regional indus
tries and markets rather than ma
tional markets. He envisoned the
mushrooming of local industries
benefited by the availability oi
cheap power and revival in re-
gional cultures.
DR. Donald DuShane, secretary OF

Education, told the conference that

FirstCarabao 'WaIIow
Since 1941 Amused
By Series Of Skifs

At the first annual "wallow" of
the Military Order of the. Carabao
TO be held since 1s41, officers who
have served in the Philippines and
their guests last night made merry
and were amused by series of skits
depicting current political and eco
nonic problems. The affair took
place at the Willard Hotel.
Keynote of the skits was the idea
that conditions following all wars
are very much the, same-anxiety
among soldiers to return home, dras-
tic reductions In the armed services
and disturbed economic conditions.
This theme found universal appeal
tnasmuch as the Carabao, founded
by American officers who went to
the Philippines during and i'm
mediately after the Spanish -Ameri-
can War, recently opened its ranks
to Pacific veterans of this war.
One play, Stripping the Serv-
Ices" was laid in the White House
and depicted the President as tell
Ing the heads Of the armed services
that now that the war was over
there. was little need for uniforms
or medals. A group of diplomats
then arrived and left in violent
disorder. Suddenly an atomic bomb
exploded and q presidential secre-
tary rushed in, madly pursuing the
retiring Army, Navy and Marine
officers.
Skit Portrays Pacific Isle.
Another skit showed a discon-
solate soldier on a Pacific island
outpost, bemoaning his fate and
longing to 60 home. But when he
received letter telling him of
strikes and shortages here, he de-
cided that his life was not so bad
after all.
At last nights dinner, Brig. Gen.
Charles r. Sanderson, u. S. M. C.
(retired), was inaugurated as grand
paramount Carabao, succeeding Gen.
Kenzie w. Walker, U. s. A. (re-
tired. Music was furnished by the

Meat Counters Bare +
After Shopping Rush.;
No Deliveries Today

Saturday shoppers today faced
meat counters as bare as in the
most rigid days of rationing.
Pickets of the meat cutters union
left their posts in front of the three
big packing houses here over the
week end, while the plants are nor
mally closed. A spokesman for Local
1893, Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen's Union (AFL),
said no effort was being made by
any of the big three to deliver sup
plies today and that picket lines had
been withdrawn until Monday.
Meat supplies continued to come
into the District yesterday, but they
were not reaching retail counters.
A buying rush precipitated by the
threat of a shortage has all but de-
pleted supplies in most retail out
let's.
Some butchers still had meat for
sale today. but they were doing it
out carefully among their custom
Iers. In most stores emphasis al
ready had switched to fish and poul-
try, which were reported in plentiful
supply.
Independent operators were still
furnishing meat, but less than half
of the Districts normal supply
comes from this source. Whether
the independents can step up their
deliveries to Washington, it was
said, depends largely on the de-
mands made upon them in other
cities. The likelihood was that
these packers would be able to send
in no more than their usual amount
of meat during the Nationwide
meat packers strike.
The three major packing plants
which have been picketed here in
what union officials say is a 100
per cent walkout are Cudahy, Swift
and Armour Spokesman for Lo-
cal 555 of the Meat Cutters Union,
made up of retail butchers, said
they had received assurances from
cooperative and chain stores that
no meat from the big packing
plants would be handled after to-
day, even if deliveries were made.

pany would refuse to open its books

Ivan Bowen, counsel for the Grey

the company would refuse to permit

gested that the board return a find
ing similar to the one made by Pres
