Santee Project
Contract Approved
Wunhiugton, July 1&. ? Provident;
Roosevelt ha* approved?Lbe $37,600,000
Santee-Cooper power and navl J
gallon project, it wu? announced hero
late thin afternoon by Ben&lor James
F. Byrnes.
The president first gave a verbal
O. K. of the project to Bonutor Byrnes
and later in the day sent him an official
approval by letter.
"From my study of the Santee(
ooper project," the prealdent wrote
Senator Byrnes, "I am convinced that
ItH construction which can be speed
By put under way, will not aJone
aerve to overcome the distress caus
ed by unemployment In that section,
but will also permanently contribute
to the economic development of the
southeast." <
President Roosevelt's letter said
tbut before any funds are actually
advanced for the project, the public
workH administration must be furnished
satisfactory evidence of the
constitutionality of the act creating
the South Carolina Public Service uuthprlty,
its power to issue bonds and
i?a right to construct and operate the
project.
Senator Byrnes said he did not believe
the South Carolina Public Ser
vice authority would experience any
difficulty "in satisfying the public
works administrator as to the legal
points mentioned by the president.
This action means more and cheaper
power and lower transportation
cost for South Carolina and those
who have promoted the Santee-Cooper
river project are confident it will revolutionize
the industry and economic
life of the Palmetto state.
Under the finuncial set-up arranged
for financing the project, the PWA
will make a loan and grant of $37,600,000
to the South Carolina agency
authorized to construct and operate
the project. An allowance of $16,876,0'H)
1h made under the work relief
bill Hetting up $900,000,000 for
46 per cent grautrf to projects sponsored
by public bodies.
This leaves a balance of $20,626,000
which will be In the form of a
loan to the South Carolina Public
Service authority and will be repaid
by revenues from the sale of power.
The amount, however, to be paid
by the state authority will be reduced
by the amount hereafter allowed
as a credit on account of giving employment
to persons upon the relief
rolls who would otherwise be employed
upon other work projects.
Senator Byrnes' opinion as a result
of his many conferences with
officials on the project, is that this
reduction should amount to at least
$4,000-000 which would make the
amount to be repaid by the state authority
$16,626,000 and the annual payment
correspondingly reduced.
Senator Byrnes said that during
the first year of construction it. is
estimated the project will furnish direct
employment to 18,260 South Carolinians.
Under the terms of the act
creating the state authority, these employees
must, so far as possible, be
apportioned among the unemployed of
the various counties qf the state. He
pointed out that Indirectly, employment
will he furnished other thousands
by the purchase of materials,
and that the act requires that, so far
as practicable material will be purchased
within the state. ,
The letter of tile president followed
a series of conferences during the
last two weeks between the president,
Senator Byrnes. Secretary Ickes,
and Harry L. Hopkins. The South
Carolina senator, about two weeks
ami. look his itpjuuM.. far immediate,
action to President Roosevelt and
it was a personally written note from
the chief executive to Secretary of
the Interior Ickes which started the
hall rolling over at the KM PWA.
The senator saw the president two
or three times last week on this matter
and spent this morning at the
White House. Later he received the
letter of approval from the president.
Senator Byrnes has, during the last
tew weeks, been in almost daily conference
with the officials or the PWA
and will Immediately comply with
the president s request to confer with
Secretary Ickes as to the details of
tin- contract.

WOULD RISK LIVES
TO ASSIST SCIENCE
Scores Offer Selves for Tests
to Revive Dead
Berkeley, Cu.llf.?Scores *of men,
women Mini young people of America
are not afniltl to risk their Uvea In the
, cause of scientific research, nor to give
their Uvea should science fall.
Dr. Robert K. Cornish, young
Berkeley scientist, who achieved worldwide
fume In bringing back to life
'Ivuzurus IV," a terrier experimentally
put to death in a laboratory, roveuled
he has received such letters from nearly
every state In the Union.
The offers began to deluge him
shortly after he had attempted to
gain permission from the governors
of three western states to apply his
resuscitation methods to a criminal Immediately
after his execution by gas.
Permission Refused.
Permission was refused by the governors.
But If Doctor Cornish wishes
a human body for experimentation he
has only to pick and choose from
names in a bulging letter file.
Amuy.iug as these offers sound, sincerity
shines from most of them.
From a medical man In California:
"If you wish a subject for experimentation,
I will offer myself In any
way you suggest for science."
From a man In the Bronx, New
York:
"I have been reading in the papers
about your dead dog. ... I am willing
to take the dog's place, to let you
put me to death and bring me buck
to life again. If you fall It will be
my bard luck."
Nothing to Lose,
From u West Virginia youth of twenty-two
:
. "I was wondering If you could use
me to experiment with. I've got nothing
to l?>se and there Is nothing to
hold me."
From a former wealthy society woman
of California:
"If you can arrange to put In trust
$fi,000 for each of jVny children I will
submit to your experiment. I've got
to make good to m.v children."
From a girl In Brooklyn, N. Y.;
"I have always wanted to do something
good for humanity. I will offer
myself for your experiment, but I must
he assured my mother will be cared
for the rest of her life."
So went the letters?scores and
scores of them. They are still coming.
None of the offers have been accepted.
Teach Horses to Dance
in Real Pony Ballet
Boston.?This town has recently become
so enthusiastic about horses that
now certain favored Individuals of the
equine species are being sent to dancing
school. This, too, Is being done
without any thought of these nags
graduating Into a circus from the
everyday canters of life.
In brief, 10 horses of the mounted
patrol will do a "soft-shoe" dance for
the edification of the police commissioner.
The term Is easily explained.
These horses have been prancing and
keeping time to music at the head of
parades for years. "Why not teach
them some regular waltzes?" asked
SergL Edward B. Kane, In charge of
the mounted division.
Training of these animals for the
dance had not progressed far when
It was discovered, quite accidentally,
that horses dance better without shoes.
All 10 members of this genuine "ponyballet"
will complete their dance drills
without shoes, and thus qualify for
all the Intricacies of the art before
putting on their show for the police
commissioner.
Lots of Room Left for
Human Race on Earth
Eugene, Ore.?The earth Is a long
way from over-population yet, according
to Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor
of geography and geology nt the Unlverslty
of Oregon.
Doctor Smith says that science Is
now able to compute that the world
would support some .r>..r>00,o00,000 people,
more than twice as many as It
now supports. The estimate of 2,024,28fi,000
is generally accepted as a fairly
accurate total of the present population.
The five billion figure-Is possible,
however, he says, only with careful
planning and development of resources.
Among other findings in Doctor
Smith's recent survey are: That birth
control and birth selection nre imperative
if a high plane of civilization Is
to be maintained; that the tropics are
now the great goal of the whites; and
that brunette whites will probably
dominate the earth in time.

The colony wan founded by Hector

completely for them.
The colonists still have to do a certain
amount of trading with the outside
world, hut eventually hope to become
totally self-supporting.
Hector Compton declares the colony
Is the "antithesis of Communism."
