Electric Utility Interests Get Cold Shoulder From the
Administration—Vast Program Reported by
National Resources Board.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD

IpLECTRIC utility companies of the
■*"'* United States, worried by the pow-
er program of the New Deal, appealed
to President Roosevelt to abandon the
movement toward pub-
lic ownership which
threatens, they say, to
deprive millions of se-
curity holders of their
savings. The plea
was presented to the
President personally
by Thomas N. Mc-
Carter, president of
the Edison Electric in-
stitute. That gentle-
man promised that
the utilities would ef-
fect the reforms in financing that Mr.
Roosevelt has called for, and then re-
quested that the government join with
the institute in a suit to test the con-
stitutionality of the Tennessee Valley
authority.
In the memorial he handed to the
President, Mr. McCarter gave it as his
own opinion that the government in
the TVA experiment is exceeding its
constitutional powers and infringing
the sovereign rights of the state. He
cited the joint opinion of Newton D.
Baker, Democrat, and Janies M. Beck.
Republican, that TVA is unconstitu-
tional and the “similar conclusion” of
United States Judge W. I. Grubb in a
recent decision.
Mr. Roosevelt turned the memorial
over to Frank R. McNinch, chairman
of the federal power commission, and
he and his aids speedily prepared a
sharp reply rejecting the proposal of
co-operation in carrying the matter to
the Supreme court.
“In all the history of the American
people,” it said, “no parallel for such a
proposal can be found. . . The call
is not for the government to halt, but
for the industry to catch step and move
forward along progressive lines.”
“The Edison Electric Institute has,
of course,” it continued, “a legal right
to promote litigation to test the act
creating the Tennessee Valley Author-
ity or any other statute, but it will
mhke no substantial progress toward
placing the industry on a sound and
permanent basis until it cleans its own
house, reduces excessive rates to con-
sumers and eliminates the malpractice
and abuses which are responsible for its
present condition.”
Attacking McCarter’s contention that
rates are reasonable. Mr. McNinch said
Canadians pay on an average 2 1-5
cents for a kilowatt hour, while Amer-
icans pay 5% cents. He said the Cana-
dian figures cover public and private
plants, the latter supplying “46 per
cent of the consumers.”
“It is the purpose of the adminis-
tration,” he set forth, “to narrow this
excessive gap between what the con-
sumer pays for electricity in this coun-
try and what Canada has proved it can
be generated and sold for. This pro-
gram does not involve either ‘destruc-
tive competition or strangulation’.”
T'vR. HUGH S. MAGILL, president of
the American Federation of Util-
ity Investors, entered the utility con-
troversy with a hot attack on the fed-
eral trade commission, charging that
it is throwing out a smoke screen to
befog the public mind in Its desire to
win approval for the entry of the fed-
eral government Into the electric light
and power business through such ef-
forts as the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority.
The smoke screen, he declared, was
the pronouncement of the commission
to the effect that public utility com-
panies had boosted pre-depression
prices in a market in which investors
afterward lost millions of dollars.
“The clamor for the government to
enter private enterprise," said Doctor
Magill, “enjoys the sponsorship first
of the Communists who have no re-
gard for private property, second of
those influenced by socialistic propa-
ganda to believe that the production of
electric power under government own-
ership would be in the interest of pub-
lic welfare, and lastly of the spoils-
men in politics who see the tremendous
opportunities such a system would
offer for added power and political
spoils.”
{SENATORIAL investigators of mu-
nitions and the War department
clashed when Clark of Missouri sug-
gested, in a committee hearing, that
the war mobilization plans of the de-
partment, long held secret, should be
laid before congress in peace time to
be debated at leisure. He held that,
under the army’s plan, the eight bills
embodying the scheme to mobilize the
nation’s resources would be rushed to
congress to “pass under whip and
spur” without proper consideration.
War department witnesses replied
that the war policies commission be-
lieved certain legislation might be held
unconstitutional in peace time but le-
gal In a war emergency.
Senator Clark also sought to learn
what degree of control was contem-
plated by the “censorship” plan of the
army. This culls for an administrator
of public relations who would mobilize
“nil existing mediums of publicity so
that they may be employed to the best
possible advantage.” He also would
be charged with co-ordinating public-,
ity, combating disaffection at home and1
enemy propaganda, “establishing rules
and regulations for censorship” and
“enlisting and supervising a voluntary
censorship of the newspaper and peri-
odical press.”
Lieutenant Colonel C. T. Harris of
the army said he never heard of a
plan to license the press, and Lieut.
E. E. Brannan said nothing more than
voluntary censorship was contem-
plated.
OUSINESS leaders of the country
who met in conference at White
Sulphur Springs, W. , Va., drew up a
long list of things they want the gov-
ernment to do or not to do, and then
created a "business conference com-
mittee” that will have headquarters in
Washington and maintain “liaison”
with the administration.
The conference's recommendations
to the government are phrased in in-
offensive language and the idea is con-
voyed that the business men earnestly
dosir* to co-operate rather than criti-
cise. The things they ask are substan-
tially the same as those sought by the
National Association of Manufacturers
and the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, previously summarized
in this column. The essence of it all
is that government should attend more
to its traditional functions and permit
business to put men and capital back
to work.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S na-
tional resources board, appointed
last June to devise “a plan for plan-
ning,” with Secretary of the Interior
Ickes as its chairman,
has submitted a long
report offering a pro-
gram. covering 20 to
30 years, for develop-
ment of land, water
and resources at an
expenditure of $105.-
000,000,000. It sur-
veys projects which
presumably include
the administration’s
relief and public
works program for the
immediate future,
1. Improvement of highways and the
elimination of grade crossings.
2. National housing, including slum
clearance, subsistence homestead, re-
habilitation, and low cost housing
projects.
3. Water projects, including water
supply, sewage treatment, flood con-
trol. irrigation, soil erosion prevention,
and hydro-electric power developments.
4 Rural electrification.
Secretary of Labor Perkins, a mem-
ber of the board, has said that if Its
recommendations are carried out, all
unemployment will be eliminated for the
next 25 years. These, she says, are
the results that might be expected:
1. Provide a much greater develop*
ment of water resources.
2. Stop menace of floods.
3. Stop soil erosion.
4. Remove all marginal or sub-
marginal lands from attempted produc-
tion.
5. Stop waste of mineral re-
sources and substitute a national policy
of conservation.
6. Create great new recreational
acres.
7. Assemble basic data for map-
ping, public finance and population,
necesary for national planning, with
a middecennial census in 1935.
8. Co-ordinate sociall.v-useful fed-
eral, state and municipal public works.
9. Provide for continuous long-
range planning of land, water and
mineral resources “In relation to each
other and to the larger background
of the social and economic life in
which they are set”
A RMY and navy officers are con-
** cerned by the attempts of Com-
munists to spread dissatisfaction, mu-
tiny and rebellion among the armed
forces of the nation, and have asked
the house committee on un-American
activities to approve a law permitting
punishment of those who urge any sol-
dier or sailor to violate his oath of al-
legiance.
Commander V. L. Kirkm..u of the
navy told the committee that the Com-
munists’ campaign was planned and
supervised from headquarters in New
York city, and he submitted a num-
ber of pamphlets and leaflets circu-
lated in the navy which, he said, “ac-
tually incite to mutiny, sabotage and
assassination.” He described how the
propaganda work is carried on, good
looking girls taking an active part.
¥ T MAY be the war in the Gran Ghaca
A must be fought to a finish, for
Paraguay has rejected the peace plan
of the League of Nations which had
been provisionally accepted by Bolivia.
The Paraguayans, at present victorious
in the jungle contest, said in their note
to the league that certain conditions
would make it impossible to discuss
urgent matters like the return of Bo-
livian prisoners, “which by number and
quality constitute an army very supe-
rior to that which Bolivia now has in
the Chaco.”
BRISBANE
i THIS WEEK
105 Billions. Be Calm
103 Eyes for an Eye
' The Unexpected Pleases
Fourth Place for Us
Secretary Ickes has a real plan, and
possesses what might be called vision
in spending. He has confidence in this
country and its wealth. As chairman
of the resources board, Mr. Ickes fa-
vors spending $105,000,000,000 In the
next 20 or 30 years on public works.
Do not “stand and gaze,” or fall back-
ward ; that isn’t so much money for
Uncle Sam. Mr. F. H. Ecker, whose
Metropolitan Life Insurance company,
biggest in the world, has assets of $4,-
000.000,000, will tell you that in really
good times the United States’ income
was $90,000,000,000 a year, $60,000,000,-
000 for wages, $30,000,000,000 of other
income.
“An eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth” may suit old-fashioned “cap-
italistic” countries. It does not appeal
to Russia. There, to avenge the killing
of one man, Kirov, Stalin’s friend, 28
more have been shot, making a total
of 103.
“A hundred and three eyes for one
eye, a hundred and three teeth for one
tooth,” is a high price, and the number
killed may be increased.
The unexpected is interesting and
is the essence of humor. Two old gen-
tlemen, failing in their attempt to
strike oil, retired to the poorhouse.
In the poorhouse backyard they found,
first, a good coal deposit, then struck
oil.
Louis Mosenza of New Jersey went
Jiunting deer, walked 20 miles, found
nothing. At night he found a large
deer hanging in his kitchen. It walked
into the front yard, Mrs. Mosenza
shot it.
Charles Dana Gibson, able artist,
with friends went moose hunting, trav-
eled far, by bucktoard in the Maine
forest, found nothing, packed guns,
drove back to the station. A fine bull
moose and two cows walked across the
track. They could not get out their
guns in time.
An NRA report says the United
States comes fourth among nations in
the march toward recovery and is grati-
fied. There was a time when fourth
place did not particularly gratify
Americans, but “small mercies thank-
fully received.”
Interesting in the report is the state-
ment that countries still on the gold
basis—France, Italy, Belgium, Holland,
Switzerland—show the least progress.
Catholics and Protestants In Ger-
many unite in a pro-Deo (“For God”)
movement to counteract the “godless
Bolshevik propaganda.”
At the same time various religious
authorities in Germany quarrel among
themselves and the head government
seeks to “Germanize” the Christian
religion, annoyed perhaps by the idea
that the “one God” should have been
given to the world by the Jews.
Rumania’s parliament discussed a
young lady with red hair named Magda
Lupescu, for whom the Rumanian king,
Carol, has shown some partiality. It
was suggested in defense of King
Carol that “his critics are" too weak to
be Immoral.”
That new view of immorality would
surprise several well-known charac-
ters, including the good St. Anthony.
It. was not understood that the man
who said he could “resist anything ex-
cept temptation” was a person of un-
usual strength.
Mr. Joseph J. Fiske observes that
among the “one hundred and eighty-
one who had incomes of a million dol-
lars a year during the war, the Jews
may be counted on the fingers of one
hand.” He thinks this interferes with
Hitler’s theory that members of the
Jewish race control the world’s money
and own most of it.
That theory, of course, is nonsense.
There is no Jew among the richest men
in the United States, who are, or were
until recently, John D. Rockefeller, An-
drew W. Mellon, Henry Ford and
George F. Baker.
Wise King George cf England knows
which way the straws are blowing.
Friends wanted to give him, by sub-
scription, a new yacht costing $150,-
000. He thanked them, said he could
get along well with his old sailing
boat, and advised that the $150,000 “be
applied to people out of work.” That
kind of king stays on his throne.
The marquess of Donegal tells the
London Sunday Despatch that Chancel-
lor Hitler, flying over east Prussia, was
attacked with gunfire from another air-
plane, that lied at high speed after
missing.
Perhaps that did not happen, but it
might happen.
United States cotton growers decide
by a vote of 9 to 1 that they want an
extension of the Bankhead act, limit-
ing the production of cotton. Conse-
quently, production will be kept down
and prices forced up. So far so good.
Another result will be that foreign
countries will gratefully Increase their
cotton production, safe from compe-
tition of United States surplus cotton,
and this country’s cotton export trade
will gradually fade away. Perhaps
that is “all right.” Cotton growers
should know.

Washington.—It begins to appear
that the country as a whole may have
a chance to know
New Deal how many laws and
Publicity executive orders is-
sued thereunder have
come out of the New Deal in its twen-
ty-one months of life. President Roose-
velt has determined upon publication
In an official manner as the means of
Informing Mr. Average Man what he is
not supposed to do under the New
Deal. It has not been determined yet
whether there will be an official gov-
ernment newspaper for publication of
all of these laws, executive orders,
codes, regulations and other means of
official expression, but everything points
that way.
Courts have always said that igno-
rance of the law excuses no man. It
remained for the Supreme Court of the
United States, however, to say that
when the average man was deluged
with hundreds of orders of inhibition
and prohibition from Washington, he
was or is quite likely to be unable to
comprehend what it is all about.
It was almost unprecedented for
criticism to come from a member of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. But Associate Justice Bran-
deis. one of the outstanding liberals of
the highest tribunal, made no effort to
conceal his grievance when, in the
course of presentation of an NRA case
to the court, he learned to his amaze-
ment that there had been no publica-
tion of the numerous orders, regula-
tions or rules in a manner that could
conceivably reach the country as a
whole. Of course, the newspapers
have attempted to keep the couhtry
Informed but there seems to be no
doubt that the number of official pro-
nouncements was too great for any
newspaper, however large, to keep
track of and publish them all. Conse-
quently. the Associate Justice gave
voice to a feeling that has prevailed
among newspaper correspondents in
Washington for a long time, namely,
that the bulk of the citizens of this
country were uninformed concerning
the vast number of new regulations
forthcoming under the New Deal,
It is a regular practice for congress
to enact legislation and Include in such
laws a phrase to this effect:
"Authority to issue regulations car-
rying out the terms of this law is here-
by extended.”
That phrase whenever it is included,
as It is almost Invariably, gives to the
rules and regulations, proclamations
and pronouncements, the full force and
effect of the law itself so long as the
administrative promulgations are with-
in the terms of the law Itself and with-
in reason. In other words, these be-
come law and they can be sustained
by any court that can find the law it-
self constitutional.
* • *
The magnitude of the problem with
which the President has now deter-
mined to deal was
Weighty suggested recently by
Problem a committee of the
American Bar asso-
ciation which estimated that in the
first year of the NRA alone more than
ten thousand pages of such “law” were
written by executive authority with-
out adequate provision for notifying
tbe public.
“The total legislative output by or
In connection with this one adminis-
trative agency,” the committee de-
clared, “actually staggers the imagina-
tion.”
The committee added that any cal-
culation involved guess-work and it con-
cluded after something more than a
superficial Investigation that between
four thousand five hundred and five
thousand methods of business conduct
were prohibited by the codes and sup-
plemental amendments to codes pro-
mulgated by the National Recovery
Administration in its brief period
life.
The Brookljm institute in a study
of the situation has found that in the
federal government there are sixty dif- -
ferent administrative tribunals which,
as the Institute’s statement said, are
“making judicial decisions affecting
private rights.” The institute's state-
ment added that “these do not pro-
ceed according t« any single form, do
not follow any uniform procedure and
do not fit in as integral parts of a co-
herent or intelligent system.”
During the World war there was an
official publication issued by the com-
mittee on public information which
was designed to acquaint the general
public with the myriads of orders from
the White House, orders from the War
and Navy departments, orders from a
score of other places, in the hope that
public understanding would simplify
the administration’s problem. That is
the only time, as far as I have been
able to ascertain, when the produc-
tion of rules and regulations and ad-
ministration-made "law” was so great
that other than normal press channels
had to be used. Mr. Roosevelt said in
announcing his decision, that frankly
there never had been machinery of
government for the publication of such
decrees and laws. Obviously now that
the Supreme court has called atten-
tion to the lack of a central compila-
tion or publication of such orders,
something constructive is going to be
done about it.
There is. however, a possibility of
danger in that course. Attention has
been directed here to the threat that,
unless careful supervision over such
a publication is maintained, some un-
scrupulous individuals may take ad-
vantage of this new avenue of public-
ity for selfish means. It is to be as-
sumed that Mr. Il<w>sevelt will, protect
against this potential danger, but I
find in many quarters expressions of
a fear that the thing may get out oi
hand unless the President is fully fore-
warned so that he can be forearmed.
• • *
Much significance attaches to the
President’s projected plan to take the
profits out of war.
President’s it is looked upon by
Shrewd Move those know as a
very shrewd move,af-
fecting both domestic and internation-
al politico It will be some time be-
fore its full import can be pieced to-
gether In one picture but when that
time comes, wiseacres tell me, among
the things to be seen will be:
1. Notice to congress that the Presi-
dent is not going to allow the legisla-
tive body to run away with things that
gain publicity, if the scheme is one la
which he desires to participate.
2. Notice to the world that the Unit-
ed States is not going to surrender
leadership in world affairs even though
the London naval conference has failed
and even though Japan has renounced
her signature to the Washington arms
limitation treaty of 1922.
It is too early to make a guess
whether the senators who militantly
fought back after Mr. Roosevelt’s pro-
nouncement will get anywhere. Those
senators were the leaders in the sen-
ate committee's munitions investiga-
tion. Senator Nye, the committee
chairman, with all of the breeze of his
North Dakota plains, accused the Pres-
ident in effect of trying to stop the
munitions Inquiry. Senator Vanden-
herg of Michigan challenged the Pres-
ident’s right to interfere. Each
thought, as did some of tbe other mem-
bers of the committee who did not be-
come vocal, that Mr. Roosevelt was
trying to steal the show because it is
a fact that the committee was on the
front pages day after day during the
investigation.
Some observers here are inclined to
the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt will be
able to lull the recalcitrant members
of congress into a kindly feeling to-
ward his program which is designed to
draft far-reaching legislation and that
they will eventually hush-up. At this
writing I am unwilling to agree fully
with tliat belief.
One must not be unmindful In dis-
cussing this little controversy that it
can become of great magnitude or it
can sink out of sight easily. My own
thought is that Mr. Roosevelt’s control j
of congress Is not going to be serious- j
ly disturbed by it. It is possible, how-
ever, that there are enough dissatisfied
members of the house and senate to
constitute a bloc which will speak Its
mind collectively as well as Individ- j
uall.v. If that should come about, there
will be fun.

Every once in a while some one dis- j
covers some new letters written by
George Washington.
Washington Such a circumstance
a Lobbyist? bas JMst developed.
The Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, preparing to celebrate
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of the original corporation from
which it cane, has found a letter
signed by General Washington which,
authorities tel] me, represents among
the first petitions ever filed with a leg-
islative body in behalf of private in-
terests in this country. In fact. If the
Washington letter in question were to
have been presented to the present-
day congress, undoubtedly those in
opposition to the general’s plan would
have described him as a lobbyist. H.
O. Bishop, a noted writer and historian
here, found In the Library of Congress
that General Washington bad sought
legislation In the general assembly of
Virginia In behalf of the Jamestown
company, a corporation which in later
years was to become the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad company. General
Washington interceded with the Vir-
ginia assembly on the ground that if
the United Slates ever were to become
of consequence as a nation in this
world there must be expansion west-
ward and if there were to be expan-
sion there had to be means of transpor-
tation.
The general, according to the Li-
brary of Congress records, personally
surveyed a westward route over which
the Jamestown company was to op-
erate. That is the route now followed
by the line of the present railroad.
Disclosure of the Washington letter
has brought again to the forefront the
question of what constitutes lobbying
before a legislative body. There are
those in this administration, the same
as there have been in numerous pre-
ceding administrations, who accuse
anyone attempting to present his side
of the story to a legislative body of
being a lobbyist. I believe, however,
that the bulk of the people look upon
that sort of thing as an exercise of the
right of petition.
It will be interesting to note how
when the efforts of Genera] Washing-
ton In behalf of the Jamestown com-
pany are generally known, his exercise
cf the right of petition will be accept-
ed. Surely even the most ardent re-
formers will not desire to call the
Father of our Country a lobbyist.

BEVERLY HILLS.—Well all I know
Is just what I read in the papers, or
what I am fortunate enough to get
in the mail. Well,
this week we a.r&
doubly fortunate,
for I don’t believe I
am betraying any
breach of etiquette
when I reprint a let-
ter that I just re-
ceived from the
worlds most re-
markable woman.
Miss Helen Keller.
We often exchange
some word.
“Dear Will: Here
I corns. This time all I want is the loan,
of your voice. The American Foundation
for the Blind has produced and per-
fected what is called the talking-book.
These books are reproduced on a ma-
chine which is a combination radio and
phonograph. A book of about ninety
thousand words can be recorded on a
dozen dies, thus bringing to the blind
the pleasure and satisfaction of reading
by ear any time they choose. Instead of
having to use the tedious method of fin-
ger reading or wait upon the conve-
nience of others to read aloud to them.
In addition to the talking book they will
have a radio.
“These machines are sold to the
sightless at actual cost. The Library of
Congress is having a number of records
made which it will loan through its
various branch libraries for the blind,
but unfortunately the vast majority of
the blind cant afford the machines.
During the last few years the British
Broadcasting Company has on Xmas
afternoon each year made the appeal
for funds to purchase radios for the
blind in Great Britain, and over the
period more than twenty thousand
radios have been furnished. It has been
suggested that a similar appeal in this
Country around Xmas time be made
and might secure equally as good re-
sults for talking-book machines.
“The Columbia Broadcasting Com-
pany has been approached in this mat-
ter, and will be glad to co-operate and
give us time over their system. My job
is to get some radio personalities to
make the appeal. Rest assured that no
precedent will be established, in regam
to doing something outside your con-
tractual radio obligations, since th*
blind are recognized as a class apart
from all other handicapped groups. Be
it said to the credit of humanity that
no one would begrudge the blind a
special service.
“I am writing this letter from the
Doctors Hospital where I am staying
near my dear teacher who is ill. She
who has for almost fifty years been my
eyes and ears and is now quite in the
dark herself, but her physician is hope-
ful of being able to give her back a little
sight.
“I am making a similar request to
Edwin C. Hill, Alexander Wollcott, and
yourself. Day and time will be arranged
if my three friends, or even one, will
grant the request. With good wishes
yours sincerely, Helen Keller.”
Now aint that a wonderful letter, and
what a wonderful thing that is for the
blind, and in a telegram I just today
received, the date has been set for
January 16th, nine thirty to ten. (I
imagine she means Eastern Time) and
John McCormack is to sing. I have such
fine and broad minded sponsors in my
radio work, the Gulf Oil Company, that
1 dont even ask them permission in a
case like this. They wouldent even ex-
pect it. Now what I am trying to do is
to get this letter to you before Xmas
(in most places it 'will be printed on
the Sunday before Xmas, so that will
still give you a day to act.) Your radio
stores will know about it. The most i
know of it is from this letter, and its
called a "Talking Book,” a combination
radio and phonograph. So you still have
time to do a good deed, one of the most
gratifying I know of.
Isnt that an odd thing about that
marvelous teacher of hers being sight-
less? She is a remarkable woman, the
combination of those two women, the
tedious work, and devotion on both
sides, I doubt if its paralell is in history.
If any of you younger folks, or kids
are not familiar with the case of this
yronderful woman,
Helen Keller, and
her remarkable
teacher, make your
folks tell you about
her, make your
teacher give you a
whole class hour’s
lecture on her, get
one of her own
books “The Story
of My Life” that de-
scribes her almost
miracle life. It will
be one of the leg-
ends of our Country. People by the
million are out of work, and millions of
more are out of things they are used to,
but when you think you can still see,
you can hear, you can talk. Yet this
wonderful letter was written by some-
one who was denied all these, and yet
she was trying to use her talents to help
ones whom she felt were more un-
fortunate than her. Remember get the
radio for Xma3 for some blind one, aud
then tune in on her programme on
January sixteenth. Thank you.
