PONERBOARDOK'S S3U010 PROELT Decision Indicates Intentionl of U. S. to Probe Carefully Developments. In a decision indicative of an inten- tion to scan carefully the economic as- pects of proposed hydroelectric projects, the Federal Power Commission has paved the way for a development in South Carolina that is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $34,000,000. ‘The commission decision, given out for publication yesterday, covers & license granted the Columbia Railway & Navigation Co. on the Santee and Cooper Rivers for a project that was first conceived some 10 years ago and on which construction started in 1928. It was necessitated by the application of the company to increase the invest- ment of $20,000.000 originally contem- plated, to $34,000,000, under enlarge- ment of the first plans. Views of Commission. In giving assent, the commission #aid: “The substantial increase in the cost of and output of the project contem- plated by the amendment makes rele- Vant the questions as to the economic deasibility of the proposed plan and the available market for the power. The evidence before the commission, includ- ing the results of careful engineering surveys, of the costs of the power to be generated, and of the available markets Icr such power, establishes to the sati: faction of the commission that it is not unreasonable to expect that the normal increase in power consumption in the region to be served with absorb the power to be produced, accuming, as we have a right to assume, that this project will be economically constructed and effi- ciently managed, to the end that over a ‘wide expanse of territory, to the limits ©of economic transmission, power will be available for industry, commerce, agri- culture and the home at rates which ‘will not only encourage consumption by Eotemial users now within such areas, ut will likewise encourage the location there of new industry, commerce and domestic consumers. The amended plans are also justified by provisions for the better use and more complete conserva- tion and development of the water re- #ources of the region affected.” At the same time, ‘rointed out that commission’s opinion as to the feasi- bility of the amended project is not to be taken as implying any indorsement of the securities which may be issued :zy the licensee in financing construc- ion.” The commission also used the de- :li:;on to read a lesson to pubiic utili- A group of sportsmen who have shooting preserves on the Cooper and Santee had opposed the development on the grounds that it would prevent the ! alternate flooding and drainage of rice fields which serve as feeding grounas ! for wild fowl, to the detriment of their | hunting grounds. Law Recourse Available. Taking cognizance of this complaint, the commission said if this injury re- sulted, recourse could be had by Iaw, setting out, however, its policy in this Tegard: “The commission is not unmindful of the inconvenience and damage which may result from the taking of private property for this public purpose, but private interests must be subordinated to the paramount public good. This principle, which justifies devotion of private property and public resources i ice. is one of the con- which invest a public util-| the character of a public trust, to te administered primarly for the social and economic well-being of the community at the lowest iates con- sistent with a fair return on invest- ment.” The decision was written by Frank R. McNinch, vice chairman, and con- curred in by George Otis Smith, chair- iman, and Claude R.

NEW YORK, April 29.—The national commander of the American Legion, Louis Johnson, tonight called on his fellow ex-service men to join in a “gigantic offensive” against the Nation's economic ills, and outlined four policies he said should underlie future veterans’ legislation: He denounced “Communistic agita- tors” in telling of their attempt to or- ganize a veterans’ march on Washing- ton next month. He criticized the “pseudo economists™ of an economy organization which he did not mention by name. In calling for wide slashing of gov- ernmental expenses, he said $1,000,000,- 600 annually could be saved by the Federal Government without hurting its functions. He concluded with a declaration thal “In all sincerity and honesty we have pledged our support to the President of the United States and we shall keep that pledge.” Outlines Principles. ‘The Legion chief spoke at the an- nual national commander’s dinner given by the American Legion Department of New York. The “general principles” which he said he hoped would “guide the Legion in_its newest service to the Nation,” Johnson outlined as: “1. A governmental policy of equal treatment for the veterans and widows and orphans of veterans of all wars, thus bringing all the Nation's veteran wards on a common footing. That Is not_true at present. * ¢ * “2. A permanent classification and fixed determination of benefits for all classes of veterans of all wars and their dependents, to the end that both Gov- ernment and the veteran shall know what the benefits shall be, and to re- duce to a minimum the discontent from maladministration and misadmin- istration of law. “3. A Government policy of entirely adequate provision, in periods of normal | economic conditions, for all veterans | with war service connected disabili- ties without regard to their financial status or other means of support. . A Governmental policy Tecog- nizing that all incapacitated veterans are, when without means of suppp: charges and wards of the Federal Go ernment, and not of State and local governments or public or private char- ity.” Admits Abuses in Old Laws. “We of the Legion were not unmind- Lieut.

Fusselman of | an Associated Press dispatch Thursday | as under arrest in Munich, Germany, in connection with an alleged plot on the life of Chancellor Hitler, is not a son, but a nephew of Sir Rabindranath Tagore, famous Indian poet, according to Mrs. Mayadevi Gangulee, a friend here of the latter. In a letter to The Star Mrs. Gangulee pointed out that the article referred to the suspect as the son of the poet. The poet’s only son is named Rathindra Nath Tagore and is “more in his forties than twenties,” she said. The arrested man was described as being 21 yem‘si old. “Being a friend of the family,” she ' wrote, “I feel it my duty to clear the poet’s and his son's fair names from the stigma that would attach itsclf to them, if your statement were to bz left unrepuciated Mrs. Gangulee sent copies of the let- ter to the German and British embas- sies. | An Associated Press dispatch today reported that Tagore was cleared of | any suspicion and has been released.

GAS MERGER BILL REPORT DUE SOON Black Will Urge Approval With Amendment Proposed by Keech. Representative Black, Democrat of New York, chairman of the Public Utilities Subcommittee of the House District Committee, announced yester- day he would complete this week a report on the bill to authorize a cor- porate merger of the Washington and Georgetown Gas Light Companies. Black said he would recommend ap- proval of the bill without the amend- ment proposed by Richmond B. Keech, people’s counsel before the Public Utili- ties Commission, to eliminate “going concern” as an element of value in any future revaluation of the gas prop- erties. Keech has insisted that unless | the amendment is written into the biil, the public would get no direct benefit from the merger. Efforts will be made by Black to get indorsement of the bill by the full com- mittee in time to have it placed on the House calendar before the end of the week. He does not expect any serious opposition to the measure in the House, which passed it in the last Congress without debate. The attitude of the Senate is not known, however. It was there the bill died in the Seventy-sec- ond Congress, due principally to the op. position of the late Senator Howell of | Nebraska. DR. COULTER SPEAKS Dr. A.

The talk was made in connection with the Early Diagnosis Campaign of the Tubercu- losis Association which is now in prog- Tess. Dr. C. A. Tignor, medical examiner of the public schools and a director of the Tuberculosis Association, also de- livered a campaign health talk Friday at a general assembly of the Brown Junior High School. Other speakers last week were Dr. Stuart F:ster, at | Hine Junior High, and Dr. M. M. Mc- | Lain, at Langley Junior High.
