(AP) Pacific northwest senators are di vided on the value of a proposed plan of Senator George Norris of Neb raska to apply the principle of the Tennessee valley authority to the entire nation. The expected proposal looks to re gional planning In respect to the development of navigation, irrigation, flood control, erosion control and power. The country would be divided into seven or eight areas of which the Pacific northwest the Columbia river oasln would be one. Senator Frederick Steiwer of Ore gon asserted he would "give consid eration to the Norris plan, but as advised I am against application of the TV A principle to the Pacific northwest." Senator Charles McNary of Oregon declined to comment. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho said "leave Idaho out of it." "We want to own and manage our own natural resources they belong to us,' he asserted. Senator James P. Pope of the same state said the plan "would mean much to Idaho." Said Washington's Senator Homer T. Bone: "It would be an orderly approach to the flood, irrigation, navigation and power problems of the nation. There would be no log-rolling to get money. Projects would be developed on their merits." Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach, Bone's colleague, said: "I favor the plan. The chief bene fit will be to tie our reclamation and similar problems Into a general pro gram with the same standing and Importance as the problems of other regions."

A Berlin spokesman said the Al melra port was destroyed, after a hrlef volley from Spanish batteries there but that the Oerman men-of-war carefully refrained from endangering civilians, and that the attack was strictly a military reprisal. The Madrid -Valencia government however, reported the death of civil ians, announced that 55 persons were injured, that 39 houses were destroy M and eight others badly damaged More than 200 shells were pumped Into the city In the half-hour attack at early morning. One i.eavy Oerman war vessel and four destroyers participated, the pie bus (Spanish government) news agency reported. And as the attack added to the troubles ot Spain's republican govern ment war against insurgents of Gen eralissimo Franco, recognized as head of Spain by Germany and Italy, there were Insurgent reports that Dr. Juan Ne grin's "win the war" cabinet had resigned. Dr. Negrin. a socialist leader, form ed hla cabinet May 17 after Premier Francisco Largo Caballero encoun tered difficulty with anarchist adher ents to the republic. The German attack on AInieria found quick sympathy in Italy, atlll resentful over Spanish government attacks on an Italian war vessel. Italy would align .he ret If firmly with Oermany, an Italian spokesman said. (The two nations are linked In friendship accord on European prob lems and were the first major powers to recognize Generalissimo Franco, who would set up an authoritarian government In Spain on the Italian fMciat pattern.)

Not many people ever heard of Lieutenant Richard L. Perry. Unlike President McKin ley's other trusted confidant. Lieutenant Rowan, whose message to Garcia was Immortalized by Elbert Hubbard, Perry had no body to recount his story. Yet he waa an actual character, who render- Id his country a great service, whose fame until now has been confined to a gravestone in Arlington Park cemetery. His story, as told in "This la My Affair," la a graphic demon stration that undercover secret serv ice operatives and bandits in 1901 were of pretty much the same Ilk as their present day descendants. In that year a wave of bank rob beries sweeps the midwest. President McKlnley assigns Lieutenant Perry to desert the service, find the culprits, gain their confidence, become their partner and furnish the Information that will lead to their elimination. This Is Robert Taylor's role and he playa It very well Indeed, marking another rung in his ladder of fame. He falls In love with a cafe enter tainer, Barbara Stanwyck, sister of the "brains" of the gang, and thua becomes Involved in continual con flict with swaggering gorrllla "Jock Ramsay." perfectly portrayed by Vic tor Mc La e1 en. He helps them crack a bank but has tipped off the offi cers In advance. The leader la killed but Perry and Ramsey are captured. Before Perry can get a secret mes sage through to the president, Mc Klnley is assassinated, leaving a sit uation that would be spoiled to re veal the consequences. A $50,000 cinema, theater will be constructed In Ashland by Walter H. Leveret te for occupancy before the end of the year. Mr, Leverette's lea&e on the Ltthla theater which he operates, will ex pire in December. Harry B. Hurst, owner of the Lit hla theater, was quoted as saying that tentative ar rangement had been made for" use of hla theater but that he could not make them public at present. Recently articles of incorporation of the Ashland Amusement Co. were filed in the Jackson county clerk's office by a Portland law firm which Is said to represent a west coast the ater chain. Whether this baa any bearing on the Ashland theatrical situation could not be ascentalned. The Lit hla at present Is the only cinema theater In Ashland. Mr. Leverette will build his theater on land he bought last fall between Fortmiller's department store and Jordan's electric company. The prop- erty has a frontage of M feet and a depth of 150 feet. The theater will have a 50-foot frcntage, a depth of 140 feet and a seating capacity ot about 700, ac cording to present plans. The most modern of theater equipment and facilities will be combined with the latest architectural de&ign in play house construction, the plans show. Specifications call for a foyer ot 20 by 25 feet, the remainder ot the frontage to be devoted to stores. Ex act plans have not yet been complet ed but It la understood they will be worked out In time to permit the be ginning of construction within a fort night. Mr. Leverette said he plans to call his theater the New Llthla to associ ate it with the nearby Llthla Springs hotel which he" purchased recently. tertalnment honors at the Rlalto theatre on their double bill program which opened a three-day squabble yesterday.
