NATURAL LAKE The federal government," he declared, "baa been damming up two-bit streams to make lakes, when the Lord gave us one of the best hunting and fishing lakes in the country. We want them to spend some money on Reelfoot." The lake is silting up badly," he said. "One of the problems Is what is called which Is growing rapidly. As result of this silting and grass growth, it appears that Reelfoot Lake will become, after some years, a swamp, not a bike, and may even eventually disappear." To meet this condition, ths commissioner plana to seek federal aid in Improving the area, and re-establishment of a CCC camp there.

He said he had learned authoritatively that "The CCC pulled out before 'because of lack of cooperation."

POSITION TO DEAL For the first time a French government was in a position to negotiate with, a on the dictator's own ground of complete' secrecy. The way reservista were moving into France's armed forces with a minimum of publicity showed how the nation had been changed by the unprecedented powers which Parliament gave Daladier over the week end. Hubert LaGardelle, French resident of Rome and an old friend of Mussolini, came to Paris today on a mission he sought to keep secret and conferred with Public Works Minister Anatole Da Monsia.

Friends of both said LaGardelle told De Monsie the time was ripe for France te seek Italian friendship. De Monsie, close friend of Daladier aa well as holder of a cabinet post, reported in turn to the premier. SEES-COLONY SAVED LaGardelle was said to have urged early overtures by France toward Rome. Friends of LaGardelle, a writer who knew Mussolini when both were Socialists, indicated he might take back to Rome proposals for settling the quarrel dating back to the League of Nations economic penalties which failed to stop Italy's 1935-1939 Ethiopian campaign. Former Premier Pierre Laval, who maintains close communications with friends la Italy, told a number ef senators hs believed ltalo-French friendship now could be sealed without the cost of French colonies.

BY CONGRESS APPEARS SURE House Rules Committee Approves Probe Resolution GEORGIAN'S IDEA Rep, Cox, Author, Says There 'Won't Be 40 Votes Against It1 WASHINGTON, March 23-OV- The likelihood that there would be a congressional investigation of the WPA Increased today when the house rules committee approved, by a vote of 7 to 4, a resolution ordering such an inquiry. If the resolution is approved la ter by the house, the inquiry will be made by the house appropriations committee. That group al ready is wrestling with the issue of whether to give the relief agency an additional 1160,000,000 for its expenses through June SO, or to pare the amount down to 000. Mr. Roosevelt has asked the larger sum.

Rep. Cox (D, author of the resolution for ths investigation, said it probably would be brought Before the house next week and predicted "there won't be 40 votes against it." The action of the rules committee followed criticism of the WPA by many congressmen and repeated demands for an investigation which could form the basis for overhauling the relief set-up. VOTE TUESDAY Speaker Bankhead commented that he had "no objection to the investigation if a majority of the house wants it" He added, however, that the appropriations committee already was intending to scrutinize WPA activities thoroughly before granting the agency more money for expenses In the year beginning July 1. And he pointed out that extensive hearings had been conducted during the past week on the President's request for an additional $150,000,000 to carry on relief through June 30. Members of a subcommittee considering the latter item decided to vote on it next Tuesday.

A majority seemed to think $100,000,000 was enough, but there was a chance the full appropriations committee would raise this amount Talk continued of a compromise on The Cox' resolution instructs the appropriations committee to "report to the house as soon sa prac ticable during the present Con gress" the results of its Inquiry, and to make any recommendations it sees fit for legislation. No action by the senate or President is required to authorise the inquiry. Cox has another measure pending to provide 130,000 for expenses of the investigation.

He had been chairman of the commission since 1928.

In 1917, Mr. Dorris was appointed to the legislative committee of the county court on which he performed signal civic service In re vamping the entire financial structure of the county.
