Then, if we have unusually large crops which creats a surplus and prevent these two measures from ‘ achieving their objectives, there will be marketing quotas, subject to the approval of two-thirds of the farmers voting in a referendum."

TVA EXPENSES ARE CHALLENGED |, ! Comptroller General’s Office Challenges Legality Washington, March B—(U.R) — Rep. Donald McLean, R., of New Jersey, today introduced a concurrent resolution to remove all three directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The demand for removal of the three-man directory further complicated the controversy around the new deal power project. — Washington, March 8 — (U.R) — Troubles of the Tennessee Valley | authority were further complicated I today by revelation that the comptroller general’s office has chai-1 lenged legality of expenditures ' aggregating $4,748,505 disbursed by TVA over a period of three years., Comptroller general assountants said they had challenged expenditures aggregating $2,013,326 for the fiscal year 1934. Their examinations of 1935 and 1936 fiscal year 1 accounts increased the disputed figure to almost $5,000,000. These reports have not yet been submitted to congress. TVA is assured statutory right to reply to the challenges before any formal report is made. Dispute among the board of directors which has split TVA wide open seems to be headed toward , investigation either by congress or the federal trade commission. But there were hints today from new . deal sources that some formula i might enable the administration to escape an inquiry which scarcely could fail to be embarrassing. Senate majority leader Albeit W Barkley, D.. Ky., told questioners that something might be worked out to avoid an inquiry. “I don’t know whether I will favor the Norris proposal, although I I prefer it to a congressional in- 1 vestigation,” Barkley said. "It may , not be necessary to have any investigation.” Sen. George W. Norris, 1.. Neb., wants a federal trade commission I investigation of TVA whose directors have been publicly exchanging i serious charges reflecting upon I conduct of the irrigation, flood control. fertilizer and water power? experiment in the Tennessee Valley. Norris plans to discuss the ’ TVA situation in a senate address today. Sens H. Styles Bridges, R., N il. i ? and William H. King. D., Utah. I have proposed a senate investiga- i , tion of TVA operations. There I were reports today of rising senti inent for a joint congressional in- I vestigation of TVA although there is no assurance that a senate ? majority could be persuaded to I vote for a congressional inquiry | rather than inquiry by the federal trade commission. Rep. Maury Maverick, D.. Tex.. has pending three investigation proposals, one by a joint committee, one by a house committee and such as the trade commission. Norris added to the contusion i surrounding TVA affairs today with the charge that the current dispute in which chairman Arthur K. Morgan brought TVA internal difficulties before the public was designed to defeat the Gilbertsville. Ky.. dam item in the independent 1 offices bill Norris says the $112,000,000 Gilbertsville project is essential to the TVA program. The bill carried a preliminary $2,700,000 appropriation. Unless some settlement of TVA affairs has been agreed upon before the house again considers the appropriation it may be stricken finally from the bill in congressional protest against the squabble now embroiling TVA. Chairman Morgan has made serious charges against his two colleagues, Dr. Harcourt A Morgan and David E. Lilienthal, including the unqualified statement that they: had made “false" reports to Mr. Roosevelt on TVA affairs. Mr. Roosevelt last week sided with Harcourt Morgan and Lilienthal by making public at the White House a letter in which they said Chairman Morgan sought to rule or ruin" TVA and suggested that he resign. Over the weekend i the chairman announced he intended to remain on the job. POISON LABORATORY (CON TINUED FROM FAQS, ONB) most incredible method used to assassinate Gorky’s son, Maxitn Peshkov.

INDIANA SEEKS BEER BAN TRUCE Indiana Importers Agree To Waive Extra Fees On Michigan Beer Indianapolis. March 8 — (U.R) — Indiana liquor officials today awaited word that the Michigan liquor | control commission has raised an embargo on Hoosier beer, schedul- ’ ed to become effective March 14. Hugh A. Barnhart, Indiana exi else director, said the Michigan commission was to meet this tnorning and that he expected to have : \ word from Ijmslng today. He pre-: dieted that a truce would be de-j dared in the Indiana-Michigan beer j and liquor war. Indiana importers opened the I way for peace negotiations by] agreeing to waive all extra fees for handling Michigan beer. The Michigan comtnisison had claimed the Hoosier port-of-entry system was “discriminatory.” By waiving the fees, importers would place the Michigan product on the same competitive basis with’ domestic beer. Barnhart explained that the fees would not be waived unless the Michigan commission agreed to rei scind its ban on Indiana beer. If I Michigan persists. Indiana will ' place a retaliatory ban against i Michigan beer, wine and liquor in- ! to effect March 14. Some observers believed that the waiving of fees on Michigan imports would be the opening wedge in an ultimate disentigration of Indiana's port-of-entry system. It was pointed out that if Michigan were successful in evading the adi ded fees other states might also protest to the Indiana excise commission. The importer system has been under fire for some time and it DR. S. M. FRIEDLEY VETERINARIAN Large and Small Animal Practice. Office and Residence 1133 N. 2nd St. Phone 9434.

Ohio struck at the Indiana importers by placing an additional $1,500 annual tax on all wholesalers handling Indiana brew. The case is pending in the courts. Await Opinion Lansing, Mich., March 8--(U.R) — The state liquor control commission today awaited an opinion of j Indiana's attorney general and expressions from Michigan brewers before declaring an armistice — or sticking to its guns — in the state's beer embargo war. The Indiana opinion, which will in effect, void a legislative act and let down the tariff bars on Michigan beer, was expected to be telegraphed to the commission today. A verbal ruling was brought to the coinmisison late yesterday by , Attorney J. Adrian Rosenburg. Jackson, and four Michigan beer i distributors who conferred at Indi-' anapolis with Gov. M. Clifford

Ilosenbut'g said Indiana’s 14 importers had "individually and voluntarily" agreed to waive handling charges on Michigan beer, their agreement to be upheld by the opinion. Under the excise commission's proposal Michigan brewers no longer will be required to pay port of entry fees, which could total six cents on each bottle of beer if all fees were applied and which the Michigan commission has termed “discriminatory."
