BUSINESS EDITORS SEE TRADE GAINS Predict Bright Outlook for 1930 in Addresses Broad- cast to Nation. General recovery of business condi- tions from the recession that followed the period of deflation in the stock mar- ket last November gives basis ‘for the conviction that 1930 has a bright out- look, although its record should not be expected to equal that of 1929, editors of important business publications serv- ing basic industries told the country last night in addresses broadcast by the Columbia Brdadcasting System through a chain of 36 stations. Their reports were broadcast follow- ing conferences with President Hoovi Secretary of Commerce Lamont, Secri sary of Labor Davis, Julius Barnes, snairman of the board of the Cham- ber of Commerce and director of the National Business Survey Conference, and Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce. ‘The six spokesmen for the business press who were introduced by Paul ‘Wooton, Washington correspondent for | the McGraw-Hill publications and the New Orleans Times-Picayune, were G. D. Crain, jr, of Chicago, president of the National Conference of Business Paper Editors and editor and publisher of Class and Industrial Marketing; Paul 1. Aldrich, editor of the National Provisioner and publisher of the New Era in Food Distribution; W. W. Ma- con, editor of Iron Age: L.W. W. Morrow, editor of the Electrical World; Norman G. Shidle, Philadelphia, vice president of the National Conference of Business Paper Editors and directing editor of Chilton-Class " Journal Co., and_Dr. Virgil Jordan, economist of the Busi- ness Week. “Feels Pretty Optimistic.” ‘The editors voiced praise for the steps taken by President Hoover in mobilizing industries of the country to launch well considered plans for types of expansion for which there was a need. In answering the question “How's Business?” Mr. Crain declared that as a result of the conferences with the government leaders “we feel pretty optimistic. Employment is_improving.” Dr. Jordan declared: ‘“Business has not come back—if coming back means returning to the levels of this time last year, of even to fairly normal levels in most lines. Last year at this time we were near the peak of a boom, and there will be no more booms like that last one for a long time to come, thank Heaven. “We are now .entering a season of Spring’ expansion, and business will ‘undoubtedly feel some of the stimulus of this season, but probably not as much as usual. There will be probably an- other period of slackness in Midsummer, as there usually is. Food Sales Decline Checked. (Continued From First Page.) while in his opinion, dissenting from the views of all the other members of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Gen. Jadwin puts the possible value of the power project at $48,000,000, and this was understood to be based on Maj. Somervell’s report. So evidently the amount is somewhat elusive, somewhat like the arithmetic of the hurried husband who spoke crossly to his wife about the delay in breakfast: ‘I want my breakfast now. 1 have had nothing to eat since yester- gly‘md tomorrow will be the third ‘But there is no need to be so precise, and since the same elements must enter into any such calculation, let us take the $48,000,000 which is itemized in Gen. Jadwin's so often published state- ment. The same remarks as to these individual items will apply to them, however large the amounts, with the financial benefit of the people’ and about which an honest difference of opinion exists, as follows: “(a) Savings on production of hydro- power instead of steam power, capital- ized on a 6 per cent basis at $15,000,000; (b) saving by elimination of two bridges, $3,000,000; (c) savings in the form of income from taxes at the rate of 2 per cent, capitalized at $14,000,000; (d) sav- ings which the power structures would produce if navigation should be ex- tended up the Potomac River, amount- ing to $14,000,000; (e) savings on the preliminary treatment of the Washing- ton water supply and estimated value of flood protection, $2,000,000. Total, $48,000,000. Differential Is Cited. “Item (e) is evidently based, and can only be based on the computed differen- tial between the cost of steam and water power. Maj. Somervell's own f for the cost of waterpower vary for different methods cf treatment between 5.57 and 6.12 mills per kilowatt hour assuming full development and suffi- cient market to ul the completed final installation—pending such full de- velopment and using a combination of water and steam power he finds the unit cost would be 8.03 to 814 mills; but he uses 5.65 mills per killowatt hour for the comparison. “With this amount, he compares 6.95 mills as the unit cost for steam generat- ed power; although he believes it must be costing more than 8 mills here in spite of the Potomac Electric Power Co.'s figures, indicating a cost of 6.51 mills for 1929 and an anticipated 5.915 mills in 1933. The table of steam plant costs used in the report shows several below 6.78 mills and one down to 5.12 mills per kilowatt hour, while there is good reason to believe that some particularly favorably and recently built steam plants are producing power on a large scale at as low a cost as 4.5 mills, or even less. There has been & tremendous improvement in steam plant machinery within the last few years, and the differential between hydro and steam on which he bases his conclusion, even if it was acceptable today, will no longer be correct by the Discussing food distribution, Mr. Ald- rich reported that there had been evi- dences in the past two weeks of a check in the decline of commodity prices all along the line. The wheat price slide, he said, had been checked. He added that reports show sales be-. low normal in November and Decem- ber, substantially greater in January than a year ago, a falling off up to the first week In March, then a slow but steady pick-up to date. Mr. Macon, Iron Age editor, reported: “For the mthree :?onnu n:ndlm terday, the of iron and steel I Surprisingly g0d. Tt is not the quar- ter-year's performance that has caused concern. What has raised recent is the fact that the rebound In we have been having a decline in a period when the steel plants are ordinarily busiest. At the moment there are indications that the recession in production has been arrested, al- though none of the evidence at hand can be regarded as conclusive.” Mr. M , for the Electrical World, stated that at present business is “good” in this line. In electrical manu- facturing, the sales of products for the first quarter of this year were 10 per the record time any such extensive power project can be built. Indeed, this differential is so small in any case as to be within the margin of error of the basic figures. “Moreover, a careful reading of the above figures will show to what extent there being any saving at all depends upon the assumptions made, not only as to operating costs, but also as to market, character of load, etc. His own figures show that during the develop~ ment by successive mlgs the cost of hydro and steam will likely be greater than the present cost of steam alone! It seems hardly necessary to Jusfim any of the assumptions on which the unit costs .are based, they themselves do not justify any such conclusion &s he has reached. Flow of River Varies. “PFinally, the Potomac River is a very flashy stream yith a flow varying be- tween wide limits. Consequently, a dis- proportionately large reservoir capacity must be developed to equalize the flow for large scale power development so that the proposed power project has a disproportionately large first cost, $280 to $322 per kilowatt installed, whereas a good average would be $175 to $200. This alone justifies the belief that. unless unusually favorable conditions for generating and distributing the . | power exist, and no one has found that Prospects equally good for the re- mainder of the year, he added. Mr. Shidle said automobile produc- tion increased somewhat in March as compared with January and February, but that the total output for the first gunner of the year ran something like lg zger cent behind the same period of GEN.

PEOPLE OF BERLIN LOSE INTEREST IN PLAYGOING | & Oause Is Attributed to Imitations ° That Fall Short of the Original Success. BERLIN (N.AN.A.).—Those 524 tons of lipstick Germany is said to have im- g;rwd last year to make the lips of rman ladies carmine, terra cotta, magenta and “sealing wax” were not so they do exist, the water-power project will not be profitable. “(b) Ji ication for counting any saving for eliminating two bridges is doubtful. There is already evidence that these bridges can be built without cost to the Government as toll bridges if permitted. If the cost of the crossings is included in r project development it will be paid by the power consumers. It is hard to see any special benefit in shifting the burden to the latter. And then, if the bridges are built by the Government or by private toll bridge companies, they will be placed so as_to meet the best interests of traffic. If built as Prt of the power project they will be located to meet the best interests of the lat- ter and ignore traffic convenience as far as necessary. “(c) As to taxes, if the project is not fully developed or the market is sufficient to make the project pay there will be no such large amount of taxes paid, On the other hand, if the power is needed and is developed by new steam plants the .taxes will be paid any- way. . “(d). Navigation can be developed on the Potomac when needed, irrespective of power and should stand on its own feet—float on its own keel. As the principal freight for which a navigable channel would be advantageous is coal, and as one of the arguments for the hydro power development is that it will largely eliminate the use of coal, there will be little value in navigation when the power project gives this help. Water Saving Is Doubted. ““(e). The saving in treatment of the W n water supply is very doubt- ful. In fact, it would appear that the proposed pofier project actually will set up water rights inconsistent with the future needs of the region about the Slletloml Cl‘x;i‘tfl, I t.he"ponulxt"l&n An'g per capita consumption continue ‘increase as in recent years, the requirements of the area will exceed the total supply of the readily available sources, including the Potomac River, before the expiration of the power com- pany’s permit. Verbal conditions in- serted in the permit may be found not to help much to satisfy the water supply needs, because past experience shows clearly that water rights once estab- lished and put to beneficial use are hard to recover, and the people will be put to the great expense of constructing and operating pumping plants to lift the water- from the river below Chain Bridge.

Somervell to justify his probable power use. ¢ Flood Protection Problematical. “The value of flood tection is problematical and probably more than much for adornment during the ladies’ attendance at theaters, as hereto- fore—at any rate, not so far as Berlin is concerned. ‘There is a decline in play-going.

THE EVENING COL. GRANT SCORES SOMERVELL FOR STAND ON POWER AT FALLS putations for costs in Washington, D. C. If the market for the power is not found here, but must-be sought else- ‘where, then the cost of water power must be materially increased by the cost of distribution ut a considerable distance, including heavy lines, expen- sive to build and maintain, inev- itably increasing leakage losses, whereas steam plants can be built where the market is and this added cost saved. “From the foregoing it should be evi- dent that the $100,000,00, or $48,000.- 000, or whatever the sum may be, is not as sure as the spokesman for the ower company would make it appear. hile it is not desired to suggest any doubt of the applicant’s altruism and patriotic motives in seeking this permit, the question naturally arises why does this company want to put its money into such a doubtful venture? The answer is, perhaps, in the search for new worlds to conquer or in some con- dition that makes this last missing link in the Eastern superpower net particularly tempting to a Western firm. Certainly there is no great eco- nomic advantage per se since the Po tomac Electric Power Co., a very pro- gressive company, furnishing excellent service at a very reasonable cost to the | ti consumer, has owned some critical property at Great Falls for a long pe- riod of years with the desire to be in a favorable position when waterpower should prove worth while, To its of- ficlals this time does not yet seem to have arrived Concludes Somervell Mistaken. “The foregoing considerations have forced me to conclude that Maj. Somer- | vell is mistaken in his estimate of the | value of the power development, even though he is as sincere and as con- vinced himself as a prospector with newly discovered gold mine; but what- ever weight may be given by individual opinfon to his estimates on power values, he is certainly not an authority on parks, and on this subject the Gov- ernment has the matured opinion of the Nation’s most experienced minds, backed up and indorsed by an array of educated opinion and public-spirited organizations that have never before been unanimously back of any measure relating to the National Capital. The way of true conservation would evi- 3 be for the Government to secure and in the public interest and then use it in whatever way may be found best. “After attending the hearing on the Capper-Cramton bill (H.R. 26) on Fri- day eafternoon, March 21, 1930, the National Capital Park and Planning Commission decided upon the following statement, which it is hoped will be %n- sidered by the committee on the - trict of Columbia in connection with the statements of the applicants for a power permit. and the United States District Engineer office: Effect Is Outlined. “The effect on the status of the Po- tomac Gorge region of passing the Cap- per-Cramton bill with the Dempsey amendment would be to make possible the acquirement by the Government of complete control of the land, post- poning until Congress acts on the mat- ter further any decision as to the precise combination of uses, in addition to park uses, to be provided for therein % the precise method of combining uses. “Wide differences of opinion have been expressed in various quarters as to what will be the most expedient combination and manner of combina- tion of such uses, including improve- ment of water supply, development of ‘navigation, development of power, de- velopment of highway crossings and de- velopment of park uses. But whatever combination may be decided on, it is obvious that the aggregate values can- nét be attained from any combination unless the intricate details of the bination are worked out by some one consolidated agency so constituted that it will not be under temptation to sac- rifice values of one kind for the sake of values of another kind. To intrust the details of such a complex combina- tion to a private power company, even subject to a measure of supervision by Government bureaus, would obviously put a premium on sacrificing park v:}ues and navigation values to power values. Explains Company's . Purpose. ‘The power company, naturally enough, would much prefer to have a decision made now by Congress that the area is to be devoted primarily to power development, that the power com- pany may acquire the land and that it shall decide, subject to some measure of approval of details of its plans by governmental "agencies, what conces- slons it shall make toward providing for incidental use of the area for water supply. for park purposes and for fu- ture improvement of navigation.

RN Tenth Trichinosis Victim Dies. STAR, WASHINGTON, NEW YORK SOCIETY ROWS AT ELECTION Representative Bloom, De- feated, Declares He Was Not Candidate. An election storm that upset the New ‘York State Society in its annual meet- ing last night at the Willard Hotel, to- day reverberated in many places throughout the Capital. Charges and countercharges flew thick and fast. Several members of Congress were in- volved. On Capitol Hill, Representative Sol Bloom, Democrat of New York, thor- oughly up in arms, indignantly denied that he was a candidate for president of the society at the election last night, where the ticket with his name at the head was defeated by a vote of 76 to 59. The records show that Representa. dency by Dr. Willlam J. Davis, a de) . Bloom was not present at the election. Davis, also indignant, declared today that attempts had been made to force Bloom on the society as president, ‘vith the support of several members of Con- gress. At least seven members of Con- gress, including Senator Copeland of New York, were aligned behind the movement to put Bloom in, according to Davis. But the “independents” took the dght to the floor, Davis said, and pre- vented what he declared were attempts of the presiding officer, H. J. McClure of the Department of Justice, to force a vote on the Bloom ticket without al- lowing a vote on the Davis independ- ents. Petition Is Read. McClure, retiring president of the so- ciety, insisted today that Representative Bloom, whom he had supported, had been prevailed upon to run. McClure read a petition to the meeting signed by several New York members of Con- gress asking for votes for Bloom. Among the names on this petition were Senator Robert Wagner and Repre- sentatives Hamilton Fish, jr.; Frederick M. Davenport, Edmund F. Cooke, Samuel Dickstein and James S. Parker. Senator Copeland appeared in person and in a _speech asked the election of Bloom. Representative Fish attended the meeting but did not speak. Bloom himself was not present. McClure, in supporting Bloom, in- sisted today that the defeated candidate had not campaigned in person, but that his friends had put up the fight for him. ‘' McClure understood, he said, that at one time Bloom had tried to withdraw, but had been prevailed upon by another member of Congress to g’onunue to run and accept the elec- on. Representative Bloom, plainly indig- nant, was somewhat disturbed over the whole affair. He made public a letter which he had written, he said, on March 14, to Mrs. Grace E. Strait, sec- retary of the society, residing at 2551 Seventeenth street. In this letter he said, “I regret very much that I find it necessary to ask that my name be withdrawn as a candidate for presi- dent of the New York State Society of ‘Washington, D. C.” Asked Removal of Name. Following the dispatch of this letter, Bloom said he had personally tele- phoned McClure, then president of the society, asking McClure that the name of Bloom be removed from the ballot. Bloom said today that in the tele- phone conversation with McClure he said, “Under no circumstances will I run for office. I'm not getting into any of your family fights.” Bloom said today he knew that there had been two factions in the society for a long time. “When first asked if he would head the organization he said he flatly declined. Later he agreed that if both factions would agree to put him in to compose differences he might accept, he said, provided there were no election, and no person to run against him—no fight between the the two factions. ‘When he learned that there was an- other ticket in the field he said he took definite action, writing to the secretary, phoning the president of the society, and entirely taking himself out of the matter. “Why, I never attended a single meeting of the society,” he protested, “I was only elected a member last year. I was not present last night, and the first I knew that I had been ‘defeated’ was when I read it in\the paper this morning. I didn’t even know where the meeting was to be and I don't yet know ‘where it was held.” Representative John Taber of New York, who was elected one of the trus- tees at the meeting last night was pres- ent at the election. He pleaded with the factions to cease fighting and do what they could to work for the society. He asked the society to vote on the tickets, and to accept whoever was elected as the head, without feeling. ‘Taber said today he was a candidate for trustee on both tickets. Representa- tive Daniel A. Reed was one of the trustees elected. He was present last night, but did not speak. ‘The nominating committee which brought in the Bloom ticket was headed by FP. W. Krichelt, chairman. McClure, who campaigned for Bloom, was one of the trustees elected. Davis, the newly-elected president, claimed that the only reason McClure was elect- ed a trustee was because the man on the independent ticket had withdrawn without knowledge of the independent leaders, and under the by-laws another independent candidate could not be put forward last night. Several Meetings Planned. President Davis announced that sev- eral meetings are planned for the near future, the next one to be an enter- tainment at the home of Mrs. Henry " Dimock, well known society leader. Six entertainments and dances will also be held, Davis said. ‘The complete ticket elected last night in addition to Davis, president, is as follows: M. F. Driscoll, first vice president; Mrs. W. A. Carr, second vice president; Mrs. C. F. Ham- merly, third vick president; Leon E. A. Chagnon, secretary; Grant R. Dennis- | ton, rer, and Miss Helen M. Brown, historian.
