WASHINGTON, June 14.—Nego-
tiations between the Tennessee val-
ley authority and the Common-
wealth and Southern corporation,
for sale of the latter’s properties in
the TV A area collapsed at least
temporarily Monday when officials
could not agree on a valuation fixed
by independent appraisers.
Announcement of the suspension
came after two conferences be-
tween TV A Director David E. Lili-
enthal and Wendell Willkie, C. & S.
chairman. It was their first meet-
ing since an appraisal of all C. &
S. properties in the southwest was
made by a private accounting firm.
SEARCHERS FINALLY
REACH WRECKED PLANE
FRESNO, Calif., June 14.—Trans-
continental and Western Air, Inc.,
last night reported that a search-
ing party had reached the wreck-
age of a TWA airliner on Buena
Vista peak in Yosemite National
park.
A T. W. A. plane, circling the
area, saw the party arrive and re-
turned here to report.
Short-wave radio communication
was to be established with the
searching party to bring in details
from the scene of the March 1
wreck in which nine persons were
killed. The wrecage was found yes-
terday by H. O. Collier, Fresno.

both sides of the international
boundary, with a corresponding in-
crease in population, also was
blamed in part for the water short-
age.
System Extended
In the past few years irrigation
systems have been greatly extend-
ed to serve the citrus fruit or-
chards on the United States side of
the river and cotton farms in the
United States and northeastern
Mexico.
On the Mexican side, especially,
engineers say, great amounts of wa-
iter are being drained from Rio
purposes.
Because of the international
character of the emergency, many
requests have been made to Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull for as-
sistance in obtaining a fair distri-
bution of available water.

day’s windup of a series of munici-

“Nowhere outside Germany and
Italy has any single party ever been
able to mass 90 per cent of the peo-
ple behind its policies the way we
have done," he said.
Plebiscite Can Wait
Asked about the prospects of a
demand for a formal plebiscite on
the question of complete autonomy,
or perhaps ultimate union with
Germany, the party spokesman
said:
"We are not considering it at
present and are hoping for the best

ernment but, naturally, if these ne-
gotiations fail we must consider

“Yet the dignity of the Presiden-
tial office is inconsistent with too
much political activity in primary
campaigns,” B u lk 1 e y continued,
"and the infinite variety of these
primary contests will afford a very
severe test of the President’s politi-
cal skill. In many cases there prob-
ably will be no indication of defi-
nite preference.”

Adding those to the reductions ef-
fective June 15, the net result is a
reduction of 20 per fcent in the cost
of fire insurance to home owners in
two years.
Furthermore, in March 1937, or-
ders were issued increasing good
fire record credits in various cities
and towns of Texas to produce
reduction in premium cost aggre-
gating $500,000, the commissioner
pointed out.
“It is often overlooked,” Hall said,
“that insurance rates depend en-
tirely on the losses sustained for
which the insurance is paid. When
losses are reduced it is possible to
reduce rates, but when losses are
high, rates must be increased ac-
cordingly.”
The present reductions, which
are a result of a public hearing re-
cently held, are based largely on
favorable fire loss records in. the
state during recent years. The work
is not complete, however, as many
other phases of the rate problem
are still being studied by the board.

A STATEMENT
ft
To Wheeler County Citizens
Let us say, in the first place, that the 40 families employed in the Beer
industry in Wheeler county, deeply appreciate the vote cast in Saturday’s
special election which on the basis of unofficial tabulations indicates the
return of Legal Beer to this county by a substantial rpajority. In presenting
our case to the voters, we endeavored to conduct a clean campaign, based
on the issues as we saw them, and it is gratifying indeed to witness the re-
sults, particularly in view of the fact that neither the brewers nor the beer
dealers spent any money publicizing their cause or otherwise seeking to in-
fluence the voters in this election.
The result of the election as we view it, indicates confidence on the part
of Wheeler county citizens that we as legal distributors and dealers will
support the duly constituted authorities and the public in the elimination of
any objectionable conditions which may have surrounded the sale of beer
in the past. It is not in beer, as we see it, that the gravest problem lies, but
in the conditions surrounding its sale.
Our underlying motive ... to perpetuate and promote our own business
... is of course quite obvious. But equally obvious, we hope, is the fact
that our interests coincide with the public interest.
Being practical men, we are not promising miracles. We realize we
cannot immediately eliminate all the undesirable features, but with your
help and cooperation we can soon bring about full compliance with social
as well as legal requirements. We pledge our efforts toward that end. How
far we can go, and how soon, depends much on ourselves... but partly also
on you. Restriction of your patronage only to legal, respectable retail out-
lets, for instance, will operate to raise the retailing standards. We invite
your cooperation, also, in reporting any complaints you may hear to local
and state officers.
This advertisement is, therefore, at once a statement of our objectives
and an appeal for your support, without which we must fall short of our
high hopes. We urgently invite your full and sympathetic cooperation.
