Ickes Denies
Shift on Dam
Hits Reports He Abandons
Power-for-All Policy at
Bonneville Dam
WASHINGTON. Aug, 31--Secretary
Ickes denied west eoast
reports today that he Is abandon
in his policy of promoting the
fullest public use of Bonneville
dam's power and seeking a mar
ket through private utility sys
tems.
Ickes said Dr. Paul Raver, new
ly appointed Bonneville adminis
trator, would encourage public
bodies and cooperatives seeking
energy irom me Dig pian:t on me
Columbia river. ,., i.
"My own policy," Ickes said,
'is to give all the help consistent
ly and legitimately possible to pub
lic utility districts. My interest is
in selling as much cheap! power as
possible over as wide an area as
possible. There will be no depart
ure from this policy." j
Ickes said that if private utility
companies seek to thwart1 efforts
of public bodies wishing to take
advantage ot Bonneville power,
there nvjght be 8ome j delay in
working-out a distribution pro
gram and that at ' the j start the
market might be limited. '
"There is a potential market
for a great deal of power in the
Pacific northwest, he said.
Sees Trouble -Ahead
Private utilities, he isaid, will
probably confront local people
who want cheap public power with
law suits "and all sorts of - ob
structive practices." I
The Bonneville authority prob
ably will encounter many troubles
experienced by the Tennessee val
ley authority in working out Its
public power program, Ickes said.
"It took a long time to work
things out at TVA, you know, and
TVA had a great deal of help from
the public works administration
which provided funds for the
purchase and construction of pub
lic power plants and distribution
systems, Ickes said. j
"Now, we haven't got that situ
ation in the Pacific northwest. No
public agencies, so far as I know.
can make loans and grants as
PWA did to the Tennessee valley
authority territory which made it
possible forAhe authority to work
out its plans." . !
Dr. Raver expects toibe at Bon
neville September 14, to relieve
Acting Administrator Frank A.
Banks, Ickes said. Banks has been
acting administrator I since the
death of J. D. Ross. Banks will
return to his post as federal sup
erintendent of construction at
Grand Coulee dam. !

Northern Italy Field
Of Battle, Is Belief
Writer Sees French Armies Sweeping Over Pass
to Cripple Italian Munitions Industry;
Strike at Germany From South
By DREW MIDDLETON
LONDON. Aujr.'Sl. (AP) Northern Italy, cockpit of
Europe since the days of the Roman empire, may be the scene
of some of the earliest decisive fighting of the next European
war if it comes with a French-British army striking
through the Alpine passes against the heart of industrial
Italy.
This is the opinion of neutral military observers and
some retired British and French officers in London. ' They
base it on four conditions :
1. Italy will not remain neutral, O
but will enter the fight on the
side of Germany.
2. Germany's Siegfried line and
France's Maginot line will stale
mate each other along the old
western front for at least a year,
perhaps longer.
3. Germany, fearing a wave ot
hostile world feeling if the rights
of the small nations are disregard
ed, will not invade France through
Belgium or Holland.
4. Polish resistance will re
quire the attention of at least half
the German army six months or
more.
"Under these conditions it is
easy to see. why the theater of war
should shift to northern Italy,"
one officer said. ''That is the in
dustrial region; the munitions In
dustry is centered in Turin. A
break through with the subse
quent destruction of these plants
would force Italy to call on Ger
many's none too extensive mili
tary stores, cripple Italy's fighting
forces."
It is no secret that the French
general staff has considered two
possibilities: an Italian - German
invasion of southern France and a
French invasion of northern It
aly. The former, reputedly the
plan of some blackshlrt strate
gists, has received scant encour
agements from experienced Mar
shal Pietro Badoglio, Italy's first
soldier, officers here report.

Says Nazi Line as
ft
of the United States was the way
France a hazardous undertaking,
favors the French. The passes
through the Alps at Mont Cenis
and Mont Genevre converge as
they near the French frontier.
"With sufficient artillery the
French could hold that road for
ever," said, one expert.
The possibility of secondary op
erations even more dangerous to
the axis armies was advanced by
one observer.
"It Is altogether possible the
French could march across Italy,
swing northward and feint at Aus
tria. Such a maneuver would draw
a considerable number of German
divisions away from their eastern
and western fronts, Poland and
the Siegefried line.
"I am convinced the latter will
be smashed only when' the French
and British boast an overwhelm
ing preponderance of men and
guns, which they w o n 1 d then
have."
Italy, extending Into the Medl
terranean and with the Tyrrhen
ian and Adriatic seas on either
side, is considered by naval ex
perts to foe vulnerable, by reason
of her geographic situation to at
tack from the combined British

Should her fleet be swept out of

British Fleet Alone Enough
The British navy alone is con
sidered stronger in : most respects
than the' combined Italian and
German fleets. On completion of
current construction programs.
Britain and France will be able to
muster 33 capital ships, 130 cruis
ers, 14 aircraft carriers, 230 de
stroyers and torpedo boats, 160
submarines and a swarm- of pa
trol and anti-submarine craft. The
combined German and Italian na
vies, it is estimated, could pro
vide 20 capital ships, 42 cruisers.
2 aircraft carriers, 195 destroy
ers and torpedo boats and 175
submarines.
Military men admit British and
French aid to Poland will be
tremendous task; the annihilation
of Poland's army the primary Ger
man objective.
"The Germans cannot allow the
Poles to remain unconquered for
long," said one. "Such an army,
highly mobile, familiar with the
ground it is fighting on and of
high morale Is always dangerous
doubly so to a highly mechanized
force.
"The only aid I can see Brit
ain and France giving to Poland
is continuous bombing by plane of
German munition dumps, rail
heads and communication lines in
Germany. The 'shuttle plan of
British and French ; bombers fly
ing across Germany, 'laying their
eggs,' refuelling and reloading in
Poland and repeating the proce
dure on the way back is far from
being a military daydream."
