•SHOALS SAVED FOR PEOPLE BY NORRIS BATTLE Big Improvement Project Possible Only Because of His Fight. (Continued from Page One) ation of Muscle Shoals, with federal production and sale of power there. That has been but one phase of his entire program. But the plan was built upon first saving Muscle Shoals for the people, who paid for it, and then improving the Tennessee and its valley. It is interesting in this connection that the Tennessee river improvement plan in Its latter phases was advocated by Claudius H. Huston of Tennessee, who worked for President Hoover's election, and who was appointed by him as chairman of the Republican national committee. Senator Norris chiefly was instrumental in having the Muscle Shoals lobby investigated by the senate, and in the inquiry Claudius Huston's operations were exposed. Thereafter, he last the G. O. P. chairmanship, but Mr. Hoover vetoed the last Norris Muscle Shoals bill. Huston and his Tennessee river improvement association, in cooperation with the American Farm Bureau Federation, wanted the river improved- but for the benefit of private interests. Senator Norris wanted the valley and the stream improved—for the benefit of public interest. And here, again, the senator has won. Starting in 1922, the army engineering corps, surveyed the Tennessee river under congress’ orders; and on March 24, 1930, it submitted what was described as the most complete and comprehensive survey of an American stream ever compiled. Cost to Be High The ultimate plan, as devised by the district engineer, and approved in part by his superiors, included the construction of about 200 dams in the Tennessee and its tributaries, about 150 power houses for the production of approximately 3,000,000 kilowatts of continuous power, and tlie canalization of 1,900 miles of waterway. "The estimated cost of the entire project is in excess of $1,200,000,000,” said the engineers’ report, which explained that it could be carried out in progressive steps over a fairly long period of years. 4 -Tt involved navigation, flood control and power production; but not the use of marginal lands, nor reforestation, as now advocated by Mr. Roosevelt. It did not include irrigation, for this is not needed in the Tennessee valley. Cut Expense for Tower Regarding the production of power at Muscle Shoals alone, the engineers’ report said; "With inter* est at 4 per cent on the investment, and proper charges for depreciation, amortization, maintenance and operation, but no taxes or insurance, the cost of production of this (power) is estimated at 1.36 mills per kilowatt hour” and that “this power could be transmitted . . . within a xadius of 350 miles ... at a cost 0™4.16 mills per kilowatt hour if it could be sold.” Roosevelt Is Pleased WARM SPRINGS, Ga„ Feb. 3. President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt today expressed satisfaction at .the country’s reaction to his outline of plans for using the Tennessee basin as a laboratory in which to co-ordinate the use of great natutral resources like forests, land, rivers and power sites. All day long press association correspondents received word from their central offices that thp west was "calling for more and more details” on the project. Mr. Roosevelt made light of oriti(dim that his plan would increase farm production too much.

GANGSTER FOES TRADE SHOTS IN DAYLIGHHLASH Machine Guns Crackle at Busy Intersection in Mid-Chicago. Bfi United I'rrsg CHICAGO. Feb. 3.—Machine guns crackled at a street intersection in mid-Chicago as gang rivalry again today reached the stage of open warfare. In an automobile cruising along Harlem avenue sat a figure in a woman's hat and stylish fur jacket. Police believe it was a gangster in disguise. Two companions, undisguised, accompanied the strange figure in women’s clothes. As the car approached the intersection of Harlem and North avenues, machine gun fire broke from a parked car. The bullets rattled harmlessly against the heavy armor and bullet-proof glass of the approaching sedan, but found vulner-

able targets in the tires and radiator of the machine. The armored gangsters returned the fire and one of three occupants of the parked car was believed wounded. After the exchange, which police attributed to rivalry over control of the liquor business, the occupants of the armored car were forced to abandon their crippled machine w’hich officers confiscated. The other gangsters fought their way through a police patrol and escaped in thencar. BATTLE FORJ.IFE FAILS Policeman Uses Inhalator Two Hours; Baby Dies of Pneumonia.
