TV A EXTENSIN T0 OV BLOCKED Chattanooga to Be Denied Municipal Power at Present. By the Associated Press. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 13. —Although eitizens of Chattanooga voted decisively for Tennessee Valley Authority power, at least two obstacles were described today as blocking early distribution of current through their own municipal electric system. These were the announced inten- tion of the Tennessee Electric Power Co. not to leave the field and the re- cent decision of District Federal Judge W. 1. Grubb of Birniingham holding unconstitutional certain phases of the Authority's power program. By a vote which unofficial tabula- tions placed at 19.056 to 8,096, Chat- tanooga expressed its approval of is- suing $8,000,000 in bonds to acquire the proposed municipal system. Proponents of public power halled their victory as a notable indorsement by the people of the T. V. A. program. “It gives President Roosevelt a big | stick to use on Congress.” declared L. | 3 Wilhoite, one of the leaders in the | fight for the bond issue. “They can | see from this vote how the people in | the valley feel about the T.

DETROIT, March 13—Prof. Z Clark Dickinson, University of Michi- gan labor economist, declared yester- day there had been “great improve- ment” in industrial relations in the automabile field under the Automobile Labor Board Prof. Dickinson is conducting a sur- vey here for the board. For more than | a month he has been studying com- | plaints of automobile workers. | * “The companies seem to be doing i their part and real progress is near,’ he said He said further that “It seems cer- tain that higher managements will have less opportunity than they pre- viously had to cofnbat legitimate labor organization.” Referring to the future development of the new bargaining groups, he pre- dicted specialists in various phases of employer-employe relations would de- velop among the workers. RATE ADJUSTMENT ON WATER SOUGHT | Commissioners Receive Peitition From Roberts on Behalf of Hillcrest Group. The Ccmmissioners had _before them today a petition by People’s Counsel William A. Roberts that water | rates charged to residents of the Hill- crest section be adjusted to elimi- nate “discrimination.” Acting for the Hillcrest Citizens' Association, Roberts sasserted that residents of the section were being | charged at a higher rate for water | usage than other consumers who do not have water meters. Residents there whose homes were built in the past two years are charged on a property front-foot basis and in some instances are paying two or three times as much as the mini- mum charge of $8.75 a year assessed against other users not having meters, | he said. Water Department officials because of insufficiency of appropria- tions for meter installations. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.

WASHINGTON, .D. ¢. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 13, 1935. Events an IN REMINISCENT VEIN, Howard of Nebraska—he of | locks, Napoleon cloak, black square-topped hat—was in reminiscent mood apropos of his golden wedding anni- versary. Democrats must have been looked | upon as horned vipers in Iowa 50 years ago, for Representative Howard | recalled that on his way to Clarinda, | Iowa, to claim his bride he overheard | two of her girl friends chatting about | the approaching nuptials. One of them said: “And do you know Elizabeth Burtch is going to marry & Demo- | crat?” | Mr. Howard recalls that when he hesitatingly asked the bride how much she thought he should give the preacher she suggested “$50.” He had only a small fraction of the amount, but with characteristic re- sourcefulness he slipped a $10 bill | into an envelope with a note that | this be “credited on account.” | Mrs. Howard's brother was a rail- | road official and supplied a private car on the branch line train. A number of guests rode over with the silvery them to Omaha. But there was a charge of 50 cents for each passenger crossing the Missouri River Bridge. The young husband felt it incumbent upon him to pay this bridge toll as e« matter of courtesy—but he didn’t have the money. In desperation he furtively purloined the bride’s purse and in it found sufficient to meet the | emergency. Ever after that day he was a pro- nounced advocate of public owner- ship. * SPARROW APARTMENTS, AKE a second look the next time you pass that bronze tablet on | the Avenue side of the Willard Hotel. See that piece of white string hanging from the lower left side? Sparrow hospitality! Their latch- string is always out. In the narrow brick ledge behind the tablet is what certainly is one of the most exclusive | sparrow apartments in Washington. Or take a look at the ornamental iron-wrought lamp which swings from the corner of the house on Euclid and Sixteenth streets. The bottom of the | lamp terminates in a clawlike design. | Snug within its prongs is another ele- gant, tailor-made nest of a sparrow family. Speaking of nests . . . A recent popular magazine carried the story | and picture of a side-tracked baggage | car. In some freight yard the car had been quiet for a time. A robin and | his mate took advantage and built a | nest on the rods. Eggs were laid. So, too, came orders for the car’s removal. Hundreds of miles away,-some brake- man’s eye caught the nest. He made his discovery known. Officials side- | tracked the car again to let the robins | raise their family. * k% * TALE OF TWO HATS. 'D LIKE a pound of butter,"” the old I gentleman said, laying his brown hat on the grocery counter and feeling for his wallet. The jangle of | the cash register was almost drowned | out by the mumble of the many people | in the store. Then, when the old gentleman reached for his hat—it was gone. In {its place was another, newer, and, | oddly enough, of the same size. He | took it after explaining to the clerk who he was in case the owner of the “new” hat returned for it It was three months later. In a neighborhood cafe about a mile from the grocery the old gentleman fin- ished his dinner and prepared to leave. He reached for “his” hat on the cafe hat-rack. It was gone. In its place was the old brown hat taken from him by mistake in the grocery.

RECKENRIDGE LONG, American Ambassador to Italy, tells of the time when he escorted the King | of Belgium back home in 1919 after | a visit to the United States. “The chef aboard the George Wash- ington,” says Mr. Long, who was then an Assistant Secretary of State, “was anxious to please the royal palate. So the American chef cooked every | |7 @D dish he could think of—from pheasant to terrapin. Breakfast, dinner and supper, for six days, brought out a cujsine never before known on an American liner. “Finally, King Alfred grew weary of it all. He took me for a walk on deck the seventh morning and, plead- ingly, asked if he could have a plate of ham and eggs for breakfast.” EE I KNOW YOUR CITY? >OU'LL have to believe it: From Twenty-seventh to Twen- ty-ninth street northwest, on Pennsylvania avenue, or, to put it a littie more accurately, from the cen- runs into Pennsyivania ave- nue, Pennsylvania avenue is not | Pennsylvania avenue.
