OF ELECTRICITY
Report Says It Has
Blazed Way For
Mass Production
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.— m —
The Tenessee Valley Authority said
■ today In its annual report that it
had biased a trail for a new econ
omic era based on electricity.
This possible key to the future,
it said, was found by applying the
principle that has become the badge
of success for many American in
dustries — ‘ mass production and
mass consumption."
A financial statement disclosed
the cost of the whole program
amounted at the end of the last
fiscal year to about $100,000,000 in
congressional appropriations, after
deducting "appropriations .not ad
vances" on June 30 of $17,126,924.11.
“Within the space of three years
the (TVA) mass consumption pro
gram has gone far enough to have
important meaning not merely for
the Tennessee region, but for the
entire United States," the report
said. “These results are based not
upon the experience of the autho
rity alone, but on that of privately
owned utilities which have cut their
rates and entered upon a program
of wider use. x x x “Other regions
have other and varying problems.
Yet it may be said that the prin
ciples established here an appli
cable everywhere ine mar* prodt
lion and t is consumption eg eier
*rioty. here still in its experimental
stage, may open a new economic
era*

WANT TO STOP ~~
EXPORT OF ARMS
Congress May Pass
Amendment To
The Act
WASHINGTON, Dec. 39— (VP) —
Congressional demands tor swilt
amendment of the neutrality act
were prompted today by a state de
partment grant of licenses to ex
port $2,777,000 of second hand air
planes and engines to the Madrid
government.
Senator Duffy, member of the
senate foreign relations committee
forecast action immediately after
congress convenes Tuesday to "plug
the loophole” which compels the
licensing of arms shipments for use
in civil conflicts.
Simultaneously, the legislative
aspects of the problems were dis
cussed at a conference between R.
Walton Moore, acting secretary of
state, and chairman McReynolds of
the house foreign affairs commit
tee. No announcement was forth
coming immediately as to results of
their talk.
Other state department quarters
voiced apprehension that the gov
ernment’s action in granting the
export license might lead to de
mands for similar permission from
other sources.

JACKSON, Ky., Dec. 29.—(JP)
—Before a court room crowd,
Mrs. Viola Wickline today shot
and critically wounded Johnny
Shepherd, 18, accused of the

son, Harvey Gabbard, 17.
The woman, pale and with
eyes bulging, fired three times
at Shepherd, a cripple, who had
just taken the witness stand to
testify at his examining trial on
a charge of murdering Abbard.
Moss Noble, an attorney, and
a bystander named Moora were
wounded by the shots which
terrorized the crowd that party

present to bar shipments from the
civil war since the neutrality act
did not recognize such domestic
conflict.
They did indicate, however, new
legislation to expand the existing
neutrality act would be welcomed
by the British.
Officials meanwhile considered
details of a proposed six-power
naval patrol to blockade arms ship
ments from the Iberian peninsula.
The British blockade plan would
work through a patrol made of war
ships of England, Prance, Germany,
Italy, Portugal and Russia and
would replace all other neutrality
efforts.
FRENCH MINISTERS
IN IMPORTANT MEET
PARIS, Dec. 39.—<JP>—The coun
cil of ministers was called today to
consider French action in the face
of what was believed would be an
evasive German answer to Franco
British demands for non-interven
tion in Spain.
Sources close to the foreign of
fice said the first reaction in fascist
capitals to the warning to stop vol
unteers from aiding the Spanish
insurgents was “scarcely encourag
ing.”
Foreign office officials had said no
“stalling” by Chancellor Adolf Hit
ler on their demand would be ac
cepted.
France and England, they said,
would consult on “necesoary” steps
to assure German neutrality in the
civil war if an answer to their note
of Sunday were not forthcoming
“in a very few days.”
The belief was current Germany’s
answer likely would'evade the issue
by demanding guarantee Russia
withdraw support from the Spanish
socialist government before fascist
nations could promise to withdraw
their helping hand from the insur
gents.
NO LAW IN V. S.
FORBIDS THE SALE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—(/P)—A
threat to European efforts against
intervention in the Spanish civil
war was seen today by diplomatic
quarters in the state department’s
granting of licenses to export $2,
777,000 of second hand airplanes
and engines to the Madrid loyalist
government.
The licenses were issued yester
day to Robert Cuse, president of
the Vimalert company, Ltd., oi Jer
sey City, N. J., after he insisted on
his right under the neutrality law
to make such shipments.
Because the munitions embargo
provisions of the neutrality act do
not apply to civil conflicts like that
in Spain, the state department has
sought to prevent by moral suasion
alone the dispatch of war imple
ments to either side.
It had no choice, however, but to
grant the licenses when Cuse ap
plied.
