Actual construction work on the foundation of the Chickamauga dam project has confirmed suspicions of Hie engineers and geologists that it would be a tough job, C. A. Bock, assistant chief engineer of the Tennessee Valley Authority, said yesterday. The TVA engineer was accompanied here by members of his engineering staff and the authoritys board of consultants. They came to Chicka-mauga from the Hiwassee dam project, which was inspected yesterday morning The party i inspected the south bank, where foundation treatment operations are in progress.

Last night they dined at the Lookout Mountain hotel and will return 'to the Chickamauga project this morning to Inspect north bank operations. Never Saw Tougher Job. Mr. Bock said he has never been as tough a foundation job, either on private or public engineering projects. Despite the difficulties we are having, we are getting a good job here, Mr.

Bock commented. He said the project is well on schedule and he is satisfied with the progress. Members of the board of consultants here yesterday included O. N. Floyd, Dallas (Tex) engineer; Charles H.

Paul, Dayton, consulting engineer; Dr. L. C. Glenn, professor of geology at Vanderbilt university; L. S.

Harza, Chicago engineer; C. Loch-er, of Hancock, Md and L. Savage, of Denver, chief designing engineer for the bureau of reclamation, department of interior. TVA engineers who accompanied Mr Bock were Barton Jones, chief of designs; T. B.

Parker, general construction engineer, A J. Ackerman, construction plant engineer; Blee, project' engineer at Hiwassee dam project, and Lourgaard, construction engineer at Hiwassee. The inspecting officials watched operations on the south bank, where excavations are being made for the earth embankment. A huge shovel was busy digging through the overburden down to solid stone. The overburden on the south bank is extraordinarily deep.

Water seeping through the crevices could be seen in the bottom of the hole. Met By Engineers. Project Engineer Lee Warren, of the Chickamauga project, accompanied by his staff, met the TVA consultants on the south bank for the inspection tour. Mr. Warren was accompanied by Construction Engineer I.

KWing or rw; Get UP your borne, spruce up Committee Takes No Action on Report 5 Beer Gardens Inside Banned Area. Charges of possessing a gaming device against six roadhouse operators resulting from the confiscation of pinball machines by Sheriff Frank J. Bums last Monday were dismissed by Squire Hays Clark yesterday after Chief Deputy Claude Brown testified that he was informed the machines paid off across the counter.

The. deputy sheriff admitted that he had not seen any money change hands and that he did not see any one playing the machines. Squire Clark asserted the pinball machines were no more gamblmg devices than were decks of cards. "I think the sheriff was right in confiscating these machines, he said, but I dont believe you can make a test case unless you catch some one gambling on them. It seems to me you are trying to stretch the gambling laws too far.

People can gamble with a deck of cards, or almost anything else. Many business men put these machmes into their places to stimulate business and I dont see anything wrong with them. Conficated by Burns. The machmes were confiscated by the sheriff Monday when he toured the county to determine if beer gardens were selling beer within 1,000 feet of a church or school Deputy Sheriff Brown reported to the county court beer committee yesterday the names of five beer garden operators whose stands were found to be within the prohibited area, but the comnfittee took no action. There is nothing the beer committee can do about it, said Squire G.

Russell Biown. We can sign an application for a beer license, but we havent authority to revoke a license I think this beer law is all wrong anyhow, said Squire Mack Fryar, chairman of the committee. When a man invests $3,000 or $4,000 in his busmess, he is entitled to some protection Lets put this off until Monday, broke in Squire Luther Hamby, and find out what we are supposed to do The sheriffs office intends to carry out your last ruling, said Chief Brown. I. have always argued that where the bonehead was pulled was in granting these licenses Ed Gann, operator of a beer stand in Sale Creek, interrupted to say that he did not sell whisky at his place and never had any trouble there.

Squire JBrqwn said he had never heard of any complaint in connection with Gann's place. I wish you had fought that out before, said Chief Brown If you don't want the sheriff to close these places up, you ought not to pass such an ordinance. Lets pass this thing over to Monday, said Fryar, and get Pope Shepherd down here to tell us what to do The members of the committee agreed to pass the cases over to Monday, and the beer stand operators were dismissed with the problem still hanging fire Following adjournment, Murrell Phipps, operator of a beer stand near Hixson, charged that the county court modified the limit from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet after it was discovered that Pete Hines Rock Castle, on the Cummings highway, would have to- be closed under the former ordinance. After they passed that beer ordinance prohibiting the sale of beer within 2 000 feet of a church or school. he said, they found that Pete Hines place was about 1,600 feet from a school Then they decided to cut it down to 1 000 feet I think they ought to cut it down to 200 feet.

Could Padlock Place. In fact, they ought to allow beer to be sold any place, and if there is any trouble the sheriff could padlock the place The sheriff is authorized to padlock any place which is a nuisance to the neighbors Whenever any one in my place gets unruly and starts making a lot of noLse I take him out and put him in his car. I dont allow any fights or trouble to get started in my place Herchel Smith, who operates a beer stand near Hixson, objected in a letter to The Times yesterday to a statement made by Roy Eldridge. Hixson dairyman, that all the beer stands around Hixson sell whisky. Eldridge appeared before the county court a week or so ago and opposed modifying the ordinance.

"I understand that he (Eldridge) Said that all the places near Hixson sell whisky, Smith stated. 1 want him to know he took in too much territory when he said that all the joints, as he called them, were selling whisky, I run a nice, clean, quiet place, and Sheriff Burns and his men have done their duty in helping me. A ordinance prohibiting the sale of beer withm 2,000 feet of a church or school was adopted by the See Page Fourteen, Column Two. ORIENTA Pearl Necklaces!

Blee Asserts Rock-Crushing Equipment at Chickamauga Will Be Sent to Site. Engineering and construction officials who will build Hiwassee dam will start operations on the huge storage dam project next week, Tennessee Valley Authority officials announced here yesterday. C.

E. Blee, project engineer at Hiwassee, and O. Lourgaard, construction engineer, were here yesterday with the TVA board of consultants to inspect the Chickamauga project. Both said Chattanooga will be the principal contact city for the project in view of its nearness and the good roads which connect the two places. On the construction staff with Mr.

Blee and Mr. Lourgaard will be J. L. Parkridge, assistant construction engineer, and F. L.

Weiss, field engineer. The project engineer will not move into the area until about July 1, as he is busy in Knoxville assisting with the preliminary plans, but Mr. Lourgaard will be on the job at Hiwassee next week Preliminary construction woik has been under way at Hiwassee for several months. The engineers reported yesterday that thirty-eight houses, four bunk houses, the administration building, machine shops, carpenter shop and warehouses have already been built. Excavating About Finished.

Also, work has been in progress on excavating the south abutment and this project is about finished. Engineer Blee said it will be next spring before concrete pouring will start. The foundation at Hiwassee, according to Mr. Lourgaard, is very satisfactory. We have a natural dam site there," the engineer commented.

Mr. Blee said the rock-crushing equipment at the Chickamauga project will be transferred to Hiwassee. The transfer will not be made, however, until next fall probably in October The engineer pointed out that the Chickamauga plant can produce stock faster than it can be used By October, he estimated, the stock for Chickamauga should be quarried and crushed The same plant was used at the Norris dam project One problem causing Hiwassee engineers concern is that of sand supply. Present plans are to crush sand out of the grey limestone in the area. The Chickamauga engineers tried to crush sand from the stone in quarry there, but found it unsuitable.

The Hiwassee project is a few miles across the Tennessee line in North Carolina Murphy, is the closest city to the project. Engineers say the reservoir will not affect the city The dam is being designed so that generators may be installed when the Tennessee Valley Authority decides to generate electric current there The structure will be more than 200 feet high. DAM DESIGN TO ALLOW BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION The Chickamauga dam has been designed so that if it is decided to build a bridge across it. one can be constructed, C. A.

Bock, assistant chief engineer for the Tennessee Valley Authority, said here yesterday. The TVA official was here with a board of consultants to inspect the Chickamauga project. The TVA lias not decided whether to build the bridge, Mr. Bock said. The authority has made it plain that it will not build the bridge unless a system of highways is, tied in with the dam.

The state highway department has been studying a proposed highway link with the view of connecting the Lee highway and the J. Lon Foust highway by way of the dam. POSSIBILITY OF TAKING HALES BAR IS PONDERED The Tennessee Valley Authority is making a study of the Hales Bar dam, now under the control of the Tennessee Electric Power company, with the view of determining whether the federal government should exercise its prerogative of taking it over, C. A. Bock, chief engineer for the TVA, declared here yesterday.

Mr. Bock said the federal government has the privilege to take the dam over, but thus far has not exercised it because of a leak underneath the dam. Engineers are Studying the leak to determine if it will be possible to atop it, the TVA official said. No negotiations have been started towards the acquisition of the property. The Tennessee Electric Power company, Mr.

Bock said, obtained the right to use the dam for ninety-nine years in the generation of electric current. The government retained the right to take over the dam proper, but has not accepted it thus far because of the leak. The engineer said it may be possible to stop the leak. The Power company has spent large sums of money in an effort to stop it. 0 THREi-tITK MODIl Theie iftht-Mviaf lamps come 'n nianr other table, floor, end t.ble, swivel, wall and totally indirect models WILL BE HIGHER Boned, Rolled Prime Rib 19c lb.

EDUCATOR SCORES ECONOMIC SYSTEM Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson Addresses Howard Class. High School Graduates Told Better Adjustment Needed for Negroes, Whites. An appeal to the Negro to join white residents of the south in building a new economic system that will permit the conservation and intelligent use of both our races was made last night by Dr.

Mordecai W. Johnson, in a talk to the graduatmg class of Howard High school ip Memorial auditorium. He predicted, however, that a new statesmanship would be needed to build the system. The time has come, he declared, "when we must think of politics a new way. And we must think economics as soon as we think of politics.

President of Howard university, Washington, D. Dr. Johnson is one of the leading Negro educators in the country, and was appointed by President Roosevelt to help study the problems brought before the national youth administration. Prof. W.

J. Davenport, principal of Howard High school, said Dr. Johnson was the first Negro ever to speak at a Harvard commencement exercise. Hits Economic System. The university president vigorously assailed the economic system in vogue in the south, declaring that it is a holdover from the days of slavery.

He said the south continues to be the poorest section of the country because slavery has not disappeared here. And our condition is not going to improve, he said, as long as of the 30,000,000 persons in the south remain wrapped around this awful system of cotton culture. Dr. Johnson explained at the beginning of his talk that he spoke as "one of the south, because he was bom and reared at Pans, Tenn and received the mapor portion of his education in Tennessee and Georgia. Fdllowing his talk.

Commissioner T. H. McMillan presented diplomas to the 104 graduates of the school. Flossie Mary McGuire, the class salutatonan, spoke on economic problems facing colored youth of the south. The class valedictorian, Ophelia Elizabeth Robinson, spoke on Social Aspects of Crime and Health.

Both speakers stressed the need for a better adjustment of economic conditions to the needs of the time. The high school chorus opened the program by singing the spiritual, Steal Away. They later sang another spiritual, Bye and Bye, and Shellys Hark! Hark! My Soul The girls' glee club and mixed glee club of the school also sang. Dr. Johnson, noting that boys made up only about one-third of the class, said he regretted the fact, and expressed the hope that within a few years the school's graduating class would contain as many boys as girls.

Says Negro Men Needed. The south today needs vigorous and intelligent Negro men more than ever before, he declared. He told his audience that if they were going to continue to live in the south they should think in terms not of themselves alone, but of the entire population of this section. Lets dont expect the solution of our problems to be brought to us by the whites on a silver platter, he said. Lets use our minds to solve concrete human problems that confront us in the south.

He said the south had done much to recover from the effects of the See Page Nine, Column Seven. FATHER TAKES SON OUT; SPURNS HOSPITAL RULE In what hospital attaches termed critical condition, W. R. Brown, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

W. R. Brown, of Route 4, St, Elmq, who received severe electricity bums two weeks ago when a wire fell on him while he was climbing a tree, was taken home from Erlanger hospital yesterday afternoon. Although the boy had been suffering from severe bums on his head, arms, legs and chest, his -condition was not regarded as critical until he contracted tetanus several days ago. Hospital authorities refused to authorize his removal and the father had to sign.

a release absolving the hospital and doctors before the child was allowed to leave. Attaches last night declared he had only a small chance to survive. Organization of an independent committee of school patrons and teachers to campaign for approval of the proposed new city school tax the referendum July 8 will be sought at a meeting at 10 ojclock this morning in Dickinson Junior High school auditorium, called by Stanton E. Smith, president of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Teachers federation. The new act passed by the recent legislature, which provides for creation of a separate school fund, maintained by a new school levy of 4 to 7 mills per $1 of property valuation, and establishment of a teachers salary schedule law, must be approved by a referendum vote of citizens on July 8 before it can take effect.

Accordingly, the Teachers union, which sponsored the bill, plans to campaign for its ratification the referendum. President Smith stated that the federation is seeking the aid of teachers who are not members of the federation, school patrons. Parent-Teacher association members, and civic leaders In. the drive. Poll Tax Must Be Paid.

Citizens who plan to vote the referendum must pay their poll taxes by July 1, the law provides. Smith yesterday addressed a letter to school principals, Parent-Teacher association presidents and about thirty leaders of civic groups and individuals, asking co-operation. Unlike most cities, he wrote, Chattanooga does not have earmarked school funds nor any definite, specific means of providing school revenues. This condition has led to long controversy. Under the old system of appropriations from general funds it has not been possible' to secure adequate financial support for the schools without the charge of threatening serious impairment of the operation of other departments.

The mmimum 4-mill levy (proposed in the Jaw to be ratified by referendum), which will replace the former appropriations, will produce approximately $250,000 more than the appropriation for 1936-37. Furthermore, this levy will be considerably less than the school levy of most cities It does represent, however, a step forward toward the general improvement of school conditions and the rendering of a more adequate social service by the public schools.

"The real nurse is the one who has that quiet confidence, Dr. Charles W. Sheerin, rector of St. Pauls Episcopal church, told the graduating class at the Baroness Erlanger Hospital Nursing school commencement exercises last night. Twenty-five nurses who completed the three-year course with high honors heard Dr.

Sheerin review the history of nursing since the War Between the States. There were no women in the nursing profession years ago, the minister said. The first scientifically trained group of nurses were graduated in 1872. Dr. Sheerm urged the graduates to look upon the life of Florence Nightingale, whom he called the greatest nurse ever known, as a standard by which to guide themselves.

"These girls on this platform merit the trust and confidence of the general public, Dr. Sheerin asserted. They play secondary roles to the physician, yet they are close to the The annual award given by Dr. Charles R. Thomas to the student nurse of the junior class who achieved the highest scholastic record in medical nursing was won this year by Miss Thelma Gresham.
