Soviet Hat Vast Navy Units Going MOSCOW, Oct. 7.—To the brist ling might of Russia’s giant land and air forces—the Kremlin today revealed the addition of a vast naval construction program calcu lated to make the societ union one of the world's greatest sea powers. Already well-advanced, the pro gram calls for "a huge fleet de signed for specific needs and con ditions in different seas in which we may be compelled to act" said the communist newspaper Pravda. Separate and independent fleets will be established for the Baltic and the Pacific, it was said, and lesser units for the Black, Caspian i and White seas. The far-flung coastline is also being heavily refortlfled. and a na val air force of terrific potential striking power has been established The announcement, which came with the dramatic surprise of one of Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's "falts accomplis", disclosed that the soviet has quietly been building up its sea strength at the same time that negotiations have been going on in London for a treaty Which would restrict the tonnage of Kua slaa Baltic fleet. The bulslievUts, however, have consistently refused to be bound by any limitations In the Pacific un less the Japanese join in the treaty, Power Pool For Southeast Looms As Difficult Task Interconnection Of Power Syste.m Already A Fact; Too, “Political Bookkeeping” Must Be Thought About NEW YORK.—The problem of I getting up a power pool in the ^ southeastern stateg, to be faced by | the White Houge conference, will > be a difficult one. Interconnection of power systems in the United States Is already a widespread fact, power being re layed on from one system to an other, as well as from one part of a system to another, In accordance with operating cost* and peak load requirements In different areas. A conspicuous example of the bene fits of such interconnection was given this spring when power was sent into the flooded area from out side to make up for the flooding of many generating plants. The so called 'grid’ in England was set up after preliminary studies of Amer ican practice. Power Interchange between pri vate companies and the TV A how ever, Involves a problem not pre sent In the existing arrangements. The latter's production costs, at present bookkeeping, are substan tially lower than those of private companies. These differences In cost are due chiefly, If not entirely, to differences in bookkeeping. Such a pool would be half slave to stand ardized accounting methods, half free from them. The private com panies are subject to the account ing provisions In Title II of the Utility Act of 1935, while the TV A is entirely free from them. This difference in large part explains the obvious ability of the TVA to undersell the private companies whenever and wherever It wishes. The difference will also make for an embarrassing set of problems in discussion of power Interchange. Political Bookkeeping. Were the TV A to enter such a! pool as one power corqpany with j another, in arms length bargain- j lng, it would sell its power on a i straight wholesale basis, with no restrictions, resale price require ments, or other strings attached. The fact that the President, in calling the conference, used only the word "wholesale” in referring to the rates to be discussed, might lead to the conclusion that TVA was prepared to do this. However, such a course would have serious consequences for the yardstick principle. The latter ap plies to retail rates. If the TVA power were sold straight out to the private companies, who now have practically all theoutlets, such power would be useless for yard stick purposes. In dealings with private com panies, moreover, TVA’s rates, which are primarily based on poli tical bookkeeping, might prove po litically embarrassing whichever way they were adjusted. In selling to domestic consumers, a public body is praised for low' rates. But low rates to a private company, for resale, without resale provisions, might incur severe political cen sure. The low price of Muscle Shoals power before TVA was so criticized. The yardstick principle is essen tially that of laying down an eco nomical retail price. It is not need ed for the measure of generating or transmission costs, for these are known engineering facts. It de pends, therefore on distribution costs, but these differ in every case for locality, climate, type of service and other factors. Finds Roosevelt Farmer’s Friend In Actual Record Comparative Figure* of OOP And Democratic Rule* Are Given. When Franklin D. Roosevelt be came President of the United States he knew that there could be no na tional prosperity that was not bas ed upon a prosperous agriculture. One of his first acts was to call in farm leaders to develop a national farm program that has oeen admin istered by farmers themselves. This program, together with other recov ery measures, has placed the farmer on the road to prosperity. To wit: Farm cash income In 1633, under Hoover, was $4,337,000,000. Farm cash Income In 1935. under Roosevelt, was $6,300,000,000 and for 1936 is estimated at $7,400,000, 000. Farm value of wheat In 1933, un der Hoover, was $383,000,000. Farm value of wheat In 1935, un der Roosevelt, was $505,000,000. Farm value of cotton In 1933, un der Hoover, was $434,000,000. Farm value of cotton In 1935, un der Roosevelt, was $593,000,000. Farm value of hogs in 1933, under Hoover, was $361,000,000. Farm value of hogs In 1935, under Roosevelt was $539*180,000. Farm mortgage Interest rates In 1933 averaged 6 per cent—today they are approximately 4 per cent. During the last year of Republi can rule the average price of farm commodities dropped from 45 per oent above pre-war level to 45 per cent below that level. During the Roosevelt administra tion the average price of farm com modities advanced to above 100 per cent compared to the pre-war level. At the end of the Hoover admin istration the farmer was receiving nothing for his toll and was sinking deeper Into debt. Today he Is In a position to discharge many of his old obligations and may look for ward to a future in which he can support himself and his family at a level consistent with American standards. Democratic policies and accomplishments have restored to him his property and his self-re spect. As Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of l Agriculture, said not long ago: I "At last the farmers have a man in the White House who not only understands their problems, but who has the courage to act.” HOLC In Slate Has Loaned $32,000,000 GREENSBORO, Oct. 7—Loans made by the Home Owners' Loan corporation in North Carolina num ber 12.442. tile monetary total belli* in excess or I32.UUU.UUU. stale Man ager Thomas C.

Preston Grover explains in the following article. For vivid ex amples, see the picture series, “Two j Americans,” now running in The I Cleveland 8tar.i By PRESTON GROVER WASHINGTON — Regardless of how far apart their politics and background may be, Governor Lan don and President Roosevelt are found by photographers to be very much alike in their conduct before the camera. Photographers who have flashed pictures of the two candidates dur ing the past three months say they both dislike being photographed while eating and ban "surprise” pic tures such as are taken 'f: the can did camera. When on the platform preparing to speak, both will pose in smiling and obliging silence while dozens of flash bulbs flare In their faces. Harvard Eased Ban. Roosevelt's conduct at the Har vard tercentennial celebration and at the Ruth Bryan Owen-Rohde wedding was described as about typ ical of the two under special cir cumstances. At Cambridge photog raphers found many signs saying ! "No cameras.” They raced to Mar gin McIntyre, one of the President’s j secretaries, for an assist. "It's their party,” was McIntyre's response. Harvard relaxed the rules and even prepared a special stand for the photographers where they might snap the President at will. At the Owen-Rohde wedding at Hyde Park photographers wanted desperately to get the President with the wedding party. But again said McIntyre. "It's their party.’* Mrs. Owen was willing, and the President indicated he would pose if asked by the bride but somehow the cameramen could not get the two groups together. Deliberate Poses Out. Landon evidently did not like the reaction to the pictures taken of him snowballing with his daughter, Peggy Anne, in Estes Park. Since then, photographers have found him balking at deliberate poses. Likewise. President Roosevelt, ^ ter completing the recent corner", stone laying at Syracuse, N Y.. de dined to return to the Job for a r»' pose when the protographers dl*. covered, too late, that from a angle the lettering on the stone would show up and tell the whole | story of the event. | In spite of the "cautionary" re 'quest not to photograph the preSi! Ident eating, photographers used a long range lens at Campobello and : snapped Mr. Roosevelt biting hun. ’grily into a hot-dog. That. ■ Presi ident-bites-dog" picture didn't, bnng • any protests. He’s still "friends" with the photo men. | So Is Landon. On a recent cam paign trip he got caught short, of change and borrowed a half dollar from a photographer. Thinking such a trifle soon would be forgotten bv |the candidate, the photographer was surprised a couple of days later when Landon called to him: j “Hi. Jack, here’s that fifty cents.” !
