Senate Passes Water Power Bill in Senate Vote
Senate approved the water power development bill by almost three to one with 56 in favor and 5 Republicans plus 13 Democrats opposing. It creates a Federal Water Power Commission to license projects for fifty years and limits government charges to 25 cents per horsepower. The measure backs state and municipal projects, exempts small industrial plants, and allows U S takeover after licenses expire. Berlin offered two candidates for the vacant Washington embassy post Dr W S Solf and Dr Seigfried Heckscher with a decision expected soon.
