S. Operation Will Be Given Special Session. By the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., January 21.— A broad, new power program took shape today in the conferences between President-elect Roosevelt and congres- sional leaders and power experts as he visited the idle Muscle Shoals, Ala., project. ‘The scheme, of which meager reports came from the private car of Mr. Roosevelt as he traveled over Alabama to the State Capital, calls for Govern- ment control of the $150,000,000 project and a reorganization of the powers and personnel of the Hoover Power Com- mission. Montgomery was reached after dark tonight and just in time for the Presi- dent-elect to get to the dinner table of Gov. Miller at the executive mansion. Later he made an address at the capitol. In stops en route here, Mr. Roose- velt assured cheering crowds which met his train at Decatur and Birming- ham that he intended to get the war- time Muscle Shoals power and nitrate plant in operation again with the help of Congress. Confers With McNinich. Among those with whom he con- ferred on the train was Frank Mc- Ninich of North Carolina, lone Demo- cratic member of the Power Commis- sion. His name is mentioned as a suc- ocessor to George Otis Smith, President Hoover’s appointee, as chairman. Devoting himself entirely to the vital power issue during the day, Mr. Roose- velt gave little more thought to the ‘war debts and economic conference pro- gram which he will initiate with Great Britain early in March. ‘There is no doubt, however, that i return for any debt concessions to Euro- pean nations, the Democratic presi- dent-elect is going to bargain for his world economic _program _of _money stabilization and reciprocal tariff agree- iments, Gov. Miller and Senators Black and Bankhead and Representative Hill, all Alabama Democrats, accompanied Mr. Roosevelt here. Given Rousing Reception. Reaching this city—the first capital of the Confederacy—President-elect Roosevelt was given a rousing reception as he drove to the State capitol amid erowds that lined the route. At the capitol Mr. Roosevelt stood al- most on the spot—*“this sacred spot,” he termed it—where Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, was in- augurated. Before a huge throng he spoke of his thopes for development of the Tennessee 'y through a broad scheme for pro- moting the Muscle Shoals plant. “T regard it as all important that this great plant, lying so many years in idle- ness, be put into operation for two rea- sons,” he said. “First, to provide work, and secondly, for making Muscle Shoals B of a greater development that will take in the entire Tennessee valley from the mountains of Virginia to the coast of the Gulf. “Muscle Shoals gives us an oppor- tuity to accomplish the great purpose, to set an example of planning. It offers opportunity for the generations to come of tylng in industry, forestry and flood revention, so that we can afford a bet- {’cr opportunity and place for the mil- lions to live heze in the years to come. A “Red Letter” Day. “Today is really a ‘red letter’ day. I am convinced by what was seen by the members - of Congress and your President-elect, that just as soon as we possibly can, up in Washngton, we are going to start something practica- ble and useful.” It is definitely understood that the Roosevelt plans for the development of the Tennessee Valley through Muscle Shoals contemplate the construction of the Cove Creek Dam in the Clinch River. This dam is provided for in the Norris bill vetoed by President Hoover. Power experts accompanying ’Mr. Roosevelt consider this dam an “eco- nomical necessity’—a proposition not only for flood control but essential to the vast development plan in the mind of_Mr. Roosevelt for this section. Ref to the days of the Civil War, the President-elect said that con- flict’ had done “more than anything else to bind the United States into & whole.” ) “Friends and neighbors of Alabama, he said, “I regard it a great privilege (Continued on Page 2, Column 3.)

Invitation Before End of Week Ap- pears Unlikely. By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 21.—The British government at a cabinet session Mon- day will consider the action to be taken on the Hoover-Roosevelt decision to in- augurate debts negotiations with Great Britain. If the discussions are held directly between members of the United States and British governments, some quarters in London already mention Austen Chamberlain, many times a cabinet member, as the logical man to head the mission to Washington. The importance of a conference at Washington such as envisaged by offi- cials here, embracing economic ques- tions as well &s the debts, will require careful and detailed consideration, and several days may elapse before Down- ing street’s official view of the situa- tion is known. With the cabinet al- ready summoned for almost daily meet- ings in the coming week, debt discus- sions will head the program of govern- ment business. Press Welcomes Discussion. The Sunday newspapers generally welcome the promised debts discussion income of $130,- |. with Washington. The Observer says the Hoover-Roosevelt conference “bore very practical fruit.” The Sunday Times declared, “The good news from Washington has not come too soon and does not, as it stands, take us very far.” London will await with greatest in- terest in the coming week further de- tails of the debts talk plans, and also any confirmation of a news dispatch from the Observer’s New York corre- spondent, Edward Marshall, who, writ- ing for London’s most influential Sun- day newspaper, indicates that American opinion on the debt situation has crys- talized much more definitely than hith- erto known this side of the Atlantic. Lump Sum Held Probable. Mr. Marshall cabled to the Observer today that “all Washington is buzzing with expressions of satisfaction at the prospect of closing the debts problem on a basis sure to be reasonable.” “Payment of a lump sum.,” his cable continued, “is regarded as the probable procedure, and American finance is be- lieved to be ready to assist in the event of this being inconvenient to Britain. It is held that this would be favorable both to the American and British bud- gets and would result in an immense stimulation of commerce in which re- | pudiating countries would not share.” ACCORD HAILED BY BORAH. Debt Agreement Called “Matter of Heartening Significancel” By the Associated Press. President-elect Roosevelt’s agree- ment to discuss war debts with Great Britain in connection with “world eco- nomic problems” was hailed yesterday by Chairman Borah of the Senate For- eign Relations Committee as “a matter | of very great and heartening signifi- cance.” While Borah was throwing his pow- erful support back of the incoming pol- icy in a formal statement, some of Mr. Roosevelt's friends on Capitol Hill in- terpreted his move as the first step to- ward joint consideration of the debt (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.)

FARMING SECTION ALSO TO BE PURGED IN DRIVE Whole Villages Moved in Cam- paign—Marriage and Divorce Halted Temporarily. | By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, January 21.—Embarking mercilessly on a systematic campaign comparable only to the “liquidation of the Kulaks as a class,” the Soviet gov- emment has launched a blow at ene- mies within the country in an effort to attain the principal political objective of the second five-year plan—the crea- tion of a completely classless society. Despite the fact that the violence characterizing that other sanguinary period of bolshevist history will be ab- sent in the main, the new drive is ex- pected to be none the less effective, be- cause of the methodical directness with which it 15 being applied. To bring complete extinction of “class- es"—in other words, the eradication of all but useful social elements—the gov- ernment has chosen two weapons. The first is the dread passport system, a relic of the Czarist days, under which only those engaged in socially useful work will be permitted to live in the larger cities. The second is a large-scale “purging” of rural Russia in an effort to strengthen collectivized agriculture. Shift Already Begun. Although the two methods actually are unrelated, combined they undoubt- |edly will have the effect of wholesale | forced shifting of populations within | the next few months. { In fact, this shift already has begun with the exile of the populations of ‘sorne whole villages to the north for sabotage in inadequate grain production. Under the passport system applicable now only in the chief cities, but in. tended ultimately to be applied to the whole of Russia, thousands of persons labeled as undesirable or unnecessary elements, including all whose records and backgrounds do not bear out their claims to eligibility for membership in the proletariat, will be refused ports, without which they will be forced to leave the cities as virtual outlaws.

Unemployed Must Go. In addition to these classes, numbers of persons who will be affected will be those deprived of jobs under recent orders to curtail the clerical staffs of all institutions but who otherwise could qualify to remain. In other words, not only the actual parasitic elements, but also those not employed in useful work, must go. For this reason the adoption of the passport system has thrown fear into the hearts of thousands who either are likely to come under the ban them- selves or have relatives relying on them for support who may be involved. Many of naosi‘;gmd now are citi- zens of good standing. Even if fortunate enough to estab- lish homes elsewhere after leaving the " (Continued on Page 2, Column 7.

Mr. De Hart, a forer newspaper man who had been in the service of the Interior Department for about 20 years, lived at 2551 Seventeenth street. Just before the fatal accident, he had left his home following dinner to go for a short walk. Immediately after the accident Arn- old placed the injured man in a taxicab and ordered him taken to the hospital. He then went to the tenth precinct sta- tion and reported the accident, saying Mr. De Hart had walked into his car just after he had started south on Six- teenth street following the switch to a green light.

By the Associated Press. A bold blue-penciling of the domes- tic allotment farm relief bill aimed at its “simplification” threatened last night to cut out five of the seven products it would benefit and possibly to eliminate entirely the acreage reduction feature. Poking critical pencils at various sec- tions of the big price-boosting measure passed by the House, members of the Senate Agriculture Committee talked of striking out peanuts, rice, dairy prod- ucts, tobacco and hogs, retaining only wheat and cotton. Committee senti- ment as interpreted by its leading mem- bers showed a drift toward this limita- tion. More indefinite was the committee line-up on the proposal—made for the first time—that the bill make no at- tempt to require curtallment of produc- tion on the part of the farmers re- celving its benefits, Reduction Feature Stressed. The acreage reduction feature has been regarded as one of the most vital features of the bill. Its sponsors feel that any effort to improve farm prices must attack the problem of the surplus. Under the bill, a tax would be levied on the miller, packer or other “proc- essor” to be paid to the farmer in an amount sufficient to bring to the pre- war level the price he receives for his share of the domestic consumption. But to collect the money he must agree to cut production 20 per cent. The hog Taiser is also required to curtail his corn acreage by 20 per cent. The argument against this provision is based on the contention that an army of inspectors would be required to check up on acreage cuts all over the country and it would be too easy to grow a “bootleg crop.” Telling newspaper men of the efforts of his committee, Chairman McNary fication of the acreage control in the House bill, whether to leave it in or strike it out, and the practicability of reducing it to cotton and wheat, which would add also to the administrative simplification of the act.” Benefit Certificate. Another change under discussion, McNary said, is to “simplify the plan for arriving at the value of the benefit certificate.” He added he thought this “could be done” and would result in the elimina- tion of whole pages of complicated di- rections given in the House bill for finding the pre-war ‘“parity” of agri- cultural products in relation to com- mercial commodities. d McNary proposed the amount (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.)

PROPOSAL OF BRATTON IS ACCEPTED, 52 T0 17 Permits National Banks to Set Up State-Wide Branches in States Authorizing This Method. By the Associated Press. The end of the Senate’s troubled road to enactment of the Glass banking bill was in sight last night—with com- promise smoothing the way—but the House's course was less clear cut. After both Democratic liberals and conservatives had yielded partly to put through a restricted branch banking proposal only one Senatdr—Thomas of Oklahoma—stood in the way of a final vote, and even he agreed that his vocal chords alone would not stand the pressure of a filibuster through night sessions planned for next week. Thomss described the compromise as the entering wedge for universal branch banking and asserted he would attempt to strike it out and do a lot more tzlk- ing against the bill to support his de- mand for greater expansion of the cur- rency. Threat Not Taken Seriously. Democratic Leader Robinson did not take the threat seriously, however, and it was generally agreed that without the support of Senator Long, Democrat, of Lo , Who led the more than a week’s filibuster, the Oklahoma Demo- crat could not prevent the legislation’s Apg‘r,%vtl by the Senate. inson predicted passage next week, but in the House Democratic members of the Banking Committee which they dominate voiced disapproval of some of the bill's provisions and said 1t would never get out of committee there. Chairman Steagall of the House com- mittee said branch barking “is a means of further centralizing control of cur- rency.” The compromise, approved by the Senate, 52 to 17, was proposed by Sen- ator Bratton, Democrat, of New Mexico. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon- tana, called it up and obtained unani- mous consent for the vote. It would Ppermit national banks to establish State- :gde branches in States au- orizing branch banking in their own ut'nema—?t which there are anly nine at present.

The vote found Senators Robinson of Arkansas, who tried unsuccessfully on Thursday to invoke cloture to break the filibuster; Long, and Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, author of the bill, lined-up for the com) and all expressing hope for a quick final vote. Other provisions of the bill face con- siderable opposition, especially that re- quiring banks to divorce themselves from security affiliates in three years, but a compromise on this also was pre- dicted by leaders. Glass said he would have preferred the amendment of Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, to permit branches in all States, but confining the practice to the taking over of ex- isting units and prohibiting establish: ment of new branches except in com- munities having no banking facilities. Never Came to Vote. This never came to a vote, however. said he was forced to vote for the Bratton amendment to save the remainder of the bill and to “test the sincerity and integrity of this alleged (debate-limiting) agreement.” Long interrupted to say “it seems to some extent that opposition to the Glass bill has faded.” He told Glass an “historical review” of the past few days would not help to bring about & final vote. Vandenberg said the Bratton amend- ment would prohibit branch banking in 39 States unless affirmative legislation action were taken by those States. His amendment, he said, would have been an “even more drastic” limitation with respect to “the realities of the menace of branch and would have permitted it only where there was an absolute public necessity.” -three Democrats, 18 Repub- licans and the Farmer-Laborite, Ship- stead of Minnesota, joined in voting for the Bratton compromise, Wwhich Senator Norbeck, Republican, of South Dakota, amended to lower the capitali- zation requirement in the less-populated Roll Call On Compromise.
