Roosevelt expects this huge labora- tery experiment to provide employ- ment for 200,000 men in the Tennessee valley alone. Would Aid Other Sections But more than this, he hopes to carry the scheme into other sections of the nation from Alleghenies to the Pacific coast and through it to rees- tablish American life on a basis that will mean the end of unemployment; the decentralization of industry; anc &@ people protected by the watchful! eye of a government. The great Tennessee valley project involving half a dozen states is to include: 1—Reforestation. 2—Creation of flood control basins in the upper valleys, first at Cove creek in the Clinch river. 3—Water power development to be available for cities, states and farm homes. 4—Reclamation of the fertile bot- tom lands for agricultural use. 5—Elimination of the unprofitable marginal lands from farm pursuits. 6—Eventual flood control of the great Mississippi river. 7—Eventual improvement of navi- gation.

BY LAWMAKERS GIVE FARMERS NEW HOPE Arkansas Adopts Moratorium to Suspend Farm Mortgage Foreclousures (By The Associated Press) | Friendly state governments and suc- cessful demonstrations to prevent mortgage foreclosure sales were hail- ed with joy Thursday by farmers in widely scattered sections fighting to ‘save their homes and lands. In the south the Afkamsas legisia- ture prevented foreclosure measures courts. The situation has been recognized by the legislatures of Alabama and Georgia and sympathetic statements for farmers have come from the gov- ernors of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi. In Georgia moratoria on all farm mortgages were declared by 15 life insurance companies doing business in the state. From other states came reports of rage sales that did not succeed. At Cherokee, Okla., such a sale re- sulted in the organization of a farm- ers’ marketing association with the Rev. Claude R. Hill as the rT. He obtained a 60-day leave of ab- sence from his duties as pastor of the First Christian church.

And the newshawks turned angry faces toward the sun. If Old Sol had remained behind the clouds for the day, Mr. Ground Hog might have coaxed milder weather here in the near future, but his cow- ardice brings dismay to his many friends in Bismarck. Scoffing at the attention paid Mr. Ground Hog, however, U. 8S. weather Officials sald “Today is just another day to us, despite Mr. Ground Hog’s appearance and disappearance. We take no stock in him.

Wets and Drys Clash Before House Committee At Ses- sion Wednesday Night INTERRUPTIONS BARRED Chairman Rules Speakers May Not Be Questioned By Op- ponents Without Consent Heated debate over a bill to repeal all state prohibition laws featured a hearing on the measure before the house temperance committee here ‘Wednesday night. The committee laid down rules that Opponents and proponents of the pro- posal would not be allowed to ques- tion each other without being granted the privilege, after Thomas W. Gales, Fargo, head of the Anti-Saloon League in North Dakota, was inter- rupted by supporters of the bill when he arose to speak. The hearing attracted a large au- dience that heard C. P. Stone ef Mandan, who sponsored the initiated measure which the provision for) Prohibition in the state constitution ‘was repealed, explain the measure. Rep. W. E. Godwin of Mandan, au- thor of the bill, State’s Attorney C. P. Kelsch of Morton county, and Usher L. Burdick, former assistant U. 8. dis- trict attorney at Fargo, spoke in be- half of the repeal measure. Gales, strongly condemning the re- peal proposal, said prohibition in North Dakota is to prevent the “evils of the liquor traffic.” He said if the dry laws are the cause of liquor violations, then it could be said murder laws are the cause of murder. He warned the committee that if the Mquor laws of the state are re- moved the state will be “wide open,” providing s haven for bootleggers and moonshiners. He said if the officers in the state can not enforce the prohibition laws it is their duty to resign. Referring to a remark previously made that it cost half million dollars a year to en- force the dry laws in North Dakota, Gales said that cost was not exorbit- ant since it figures only about 75 cents per capita for all the residents of the stefe: Already Have 1 ‘We He called attention to hundreds of dry petitions sent to the legislature.

The vote on the emergency was 32 to 16. Sen. A. F. Bonzer, Jr., Richland county, author of the bill, outlined the development of the highway de- partment from a five-man commis- sion to the present three-man com- mission. which includes a chief high- way commissioner. Wednesday's action marked the first step in the apparently success- ful conclusion of a battle which was begun by the Richland senator in 1929. At that session of the legisla- ture he first proposed the bill but it was defeated. Returning to the attack in 1931, Bonzer forced revision of the then existing law to provide for a chief commissioner, but the three-man board was retained, although the re- vision eliminated the governor as ex- officio chairman. Watt Offers Amendment Senator William Watt, Cass coun- ty, offered an amendment to the bill to reduce the salary of the commis- sioner from $5,000 a year to “not to exceed $4,000” a year. The amend- ment was adopted. Senators J. E. Eastgate and Wil- Mam Watt voted against the meas- ure. Senator Bonzer passed his vote. The 16 members voting against adoption of the emergency clause were: Atkins, Brunsdale, Cain. Drew, Eastgate, Field, Fowler, Gronvold, Lynch, Magnuson. Murphy, Plath, Porter, Trovatten, Watt and Whit- man. Others voted in the affirmative, except Miklethun who was absent. Previously passed by the house, a measure to give the state’s consent to the federal government for acquir- ing lands if needed for national forests was unanimously approved by the senate. A bill originating in the senate and! passed by that assembly included Proposals to permit examination of jurors by either party before exercis- ing either peremptory challenges or challenges for cause: To require a chattel mortgage or bill of sale of|se, Okla., 3 and 1. household goods to be signed by both husband and wife; inserting among questions to be listed on Joins Inflationists HENRY T. RAINEY Washington, Feb. 2—(%)—Silver inflationists Thursday added to their ranks @ new ally, one who may be speaker of the next house. As the house coinage committee re- sumed its hearings on various bills to re-monetize silver, Rainey of Il- linois, now the Democratic leader and ®@ candidate for the speakership, said to newspapermen: “If we've got to have some kind of inflation—and it seems inevitable that we will have in the new congress silver will be the best way to do it. If you start the usual paper inflation you can't stop it. Expansion through the purchase of silver and the is- suance of silver certificates can be controlled.” Rainey said that if he were elected speaker he would not only be “de- lighted” to help silver inflationists get a vote on their plan but would! “vote with them.” a ee | Late Bulletins {| iG ESET AEE gee ants REPORT BIG DEFICIT Washington—The government end- ed the first seven months of its 1933 fiscal year with a deficiz of $1,271,721,- 031.

PRICE FIVE CENTS, Will Probe Fraser Accounts Roosevelt Plans Experiment to End Poverty RESOLUTION ASKING SPECIAL INQUIRY IS ADOPTED BY HOUSE Report Asserts Former Adjutant General Duplicated Travel Vouchers TESTIMONY IS REVIEWED Demands ‘Proper Audit’ of. Funds From Which Former, Official Drew Money (By The Associated Press) Recommendation that the gover- nor, attorney general, auditor and other proper state officials make an audit of the affairs of G. Angus Fra- ser, North Dakota adjutant general until a few weeks ago, was made by the state house of representatives Thursday. Action was taken on motion of Rep. W. J. Flannigan, Stutsman county, seconded by L. L. Twichell, Cass, fol- lowing presentation of a resolution by the joint legislative committee in- vestigating the capitol commission. The vote on the motion was unani- mous. Shortly after the house adopted the resolution, the senate took similar ac- tion by unanimous vote. “The resolution called on the presid- ing officers of the North Dakota house and senate to bring to the at- tention “of the proper officials of this state without delay” evidence offered before the committee that G. A. Fra- ser, member of the commission, duplicated items of travel expense. An audit of the expense vouchers is urged. The resolution, announced by Sen- ator Charles G. Bangert, Ransom county, member of the investigating committee, will be placed before the legislature this afternoon. The mo- tion for its adoption carried unanim- ously. After calling attention to testimony that Fraser, while adjutant general and also a member of the Missouri river commision, drew vouchers on the National Guard fund, on the Mis- souri river commission, and the eap- itol commission for trips between No- vember 19 and December 12, the reso- lution says: “It is the sense of this committee ‘@|that by reason of the appearing upon the face of these sev- eral vouchers, it appears to the mem- bers of the committee that the state Officials will be justified, if not under Obligation, to have the various ac- counts upon which the said Fraser has drawn funds during his tenure in office, properly audited.” The resolution urges the legislative ofticers to Place the matter before Governor William Langer, Attorney General A. J. Gronna, and State Au- itor Berta E. Baker. Text of Resolution The resolution, as it will be placed before the legislature, reads: “Senator Bangert offered the fol- lowing resolution: “Resolved that whereas, there was introduced in evidence during the Public hearing of this committee, held on February Ist, 1933, three separate vouchers, number 144 drawn on the board of state capitol commissioners for the sum of $198.73, payable to G.
