Though only two weeks ago, a plan of power interests to fight the Ten- nessee Valley authority and its pub- lic “yardstick” was in the headlines, the White House disclosed that cer- tain leaders of the industry have been aia with the president recent- The president said Friday that of- ficers of private power companies had expressed agreement that any water found in capital structure should be squeezed out and rates reduced ac- cordingly to yield a reasonable return on what was found to be fair capitali- zation. Peace Move Seen He did not name these officers and no statement was forthcoming immediately from any power men. The ‘Washington Post interpreted it as a peace move on their part. The paper said word had reached it that the Edison Electric Institute, an associa- tion of utilities, has now no intention of filing its proposed suit to test the constitutionality of the TVA. In his remarks on power, Mr. Roose- velt appeared to favor the “prudent in- vestment” policy of determining Proper capitalization, rather than the “reproduction cost” or other methods.

Over 500,000 Hit by Epidemic of Malaria London, Dec. 15.—(P)—A rapidly spreading epidemic of malaria in Ceylon was estimated Saturday to have affected 500,000 people, accord- thing to say about his ideas for the new NRA. After President William Green ofthe American Federation of Labor had carried to him recommen- dations that the government decline to relinquish its supervision over dealings between cmployers and em- ployes, Mr. Roosevelt stressed that the intention is to retain: 1, ‘The principles of collective bar- gaining. d 2. Minimum wage provisions. 3. The prohibition against child labor. ‘Though Green made clear the feder- ation would press its fight for a stat- utory 30-hour week, there was no pro- nouncement on this from the White House. High administration leaders have been cool to it. New indications that the president is hoping the housing drive will do much to hasten recovery were seen in letters he sent to the 48 governors. The letters proposed legislation de- signed to allow the public to make greater use of the program. Meanwhile the piahs for unemploy- ment insurance came again to the fore when Secretaiy Perkins, in a radio speech, urged the states to lose no time in framing their own legisla- tive programs to get in step with the federal government's.
