MAIL PLANE CLIPS TIME NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—A mail laden plane, catapulted from the Europa’s deck, 1275 miles from New York, landed here today ef- fecting a saving of approximately | 27 hours. The Europa will not dock until 11:30 o'clock tomorrow morning and the plane landed here at 7:50 o'clock this morning. The plane stopped at Bridgeport, Connecticut, to refuel, coming here. $18.50 the plan being tO‘eranon ' Reconsideration The commission reconsidered and announced that Cove creek will not be divorced from the shoals. Cove creek dam was conceived because at high water more than 40 times as much water goes over Muscle Shoals as can be used by present equipment. But in the summer time there is {not enough water to operate the |plant to even half of its present capacity. A storage basin of 81 square miles~and-shore lime of 1,000 miles would be treated by a dam at Cove creek 250 feet high. The dam, it is estimated, would almost double the primary, or low water power at Muscle Shoals, as well as materially increase the pow- er at other present and future plants. Build Many Dams | Thirty-two low dams to be built by the government for navigation only, or seven high dams to be built by power companies in coop- eration with the government as power, navigation and flood con- trol projects were recommended by army engineers in 1930. ‘They fixed the probable total of the Tennessee TH]\ HELPS MAKE NITRATES‘AND DEBATES HEMPHIS o BIRMINGHAM The Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals supplies power for the Govern- ment’s nitrate project.
