And if he still is unable to take England by July, it more than likely seems that he will bite off the Uk- raine. This probability increases if the war in the Balkans disrupts the spring planting. For one reason why Hitler has been so patient with Yu- goslavia is because the crops of the Balkans are vital to Germany. All of which is not being lost upon Russia. POWER ‘KLEPTOMANIAC' l(}l{l‘:b'1 Inside the Inner Circle, New Deal- ers long have argued as to who shall administer the country’s giant new power projects. Secretary Harold Ickes, militant | public power advocate, wants them under his Interior Department. Bon- | neville Dam now is, but other New Dealers oppose this on the ground | that future Secretaries of the In- terior might not be as public-power- minded as Ickes. They favor admin- istration by independent boards, such as the TVA. Senator George Norris, venerable | father of TVA, discussed this with | the President recently in connection with the proposed Arkansas Valley power project. With a grin, Roosevelt interrupted. “You know, George” he said, “when it comes to power projects, Harold is a kleptomaniac.” COAL ACT BATTLE Insiders are keeping their buttoned, but there was a heated row in the House Ways and Means committee over extending the Guf- fey Bituminous Coal Act, due to ex- pire April 25. ‘The committee agreed to approve a bill prolonging the life of the Coal Act two more years; also to re- establish the office of Consumers’ {out that the buying public would be {the Consumers’ | ed in voting to extend the Act. | 'at prevailing rooming-house rates, |Chairman Bob Doughton, courtly lips ' - | threat” to democratic processes. “If we approve price cuntrols in the coal industry,” Robertson thun- dered, “it will probably spreac to other industries, and before we know | it the price of everything will be fixed by the government. Such a policy is extremely dangerous at this time when we're delegating so much power to the executive branch of the government. New Dealers inside the committee retorted that the present stabilized condition and prosperity of the coal industry was due chiefly to the Guffey Act. Its continuance, they |said, was desired by mine owuers |and labor alike.

Negotiations are under way for th purchase of an excursion boat to al- leviate a serious housing shortag at Portsmouth, Virginia, where a naval construction project is under way. If successful here, the plar |may be tried out at other seaboard defense centers. Palmer hopes eventually to have a number of these “floating hotels” which would eliminate the delay and expense of erecting stationary hous- ing units. The ships could be quick- ly connected to shore water and power lines and, once they have |served their purpose, be moved to some other point. The vessel Palmer is dickering for as a starter is the Berkshire, an old {New York-to-Albany nightliner that has been out of commission several years. After reconditioning, it will comfortably house about 600 work- ers. Present plans are to rent cabins $5 a week for single and 7 for double accommodations, However, the deal is still up in the air over price. The Maritime Com- mission, which is acting as Palmer’s agent and Samuel Rosoff, New York subway builder who owns the Berk- shire, haven't been able to get to- gether on a figure. Rosoff has turned a deaf ear to the Maritime Commis- sion's offer of $65,000. (Copyright, 1941, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
