Administration Rejoices Over Victory of TVA Extended Development ol Project Apparently Given Approval Decision Is Eight to One Power Sale and Reclaiming Of Land Recognized By Supreme Court WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—(UF)-The supreme court today upheld constitutionality of the New Deal’s vast Tennessee valley authority experiment on all points placed in issue in the present test. The court’s opinion was in term* general enough to Indicate it approved future development of the potential power of the Tennessee river as well as the sale of power already generated at Wilson dam, the only project directly involved in the case. The court upheld the right of the government to develop and sell power generated at Wilson dam, part of the original Muscle Shoals project and at the projected series of superdams at other points along the river. The vote of the supreme court to uphold the general constitutionality of the TVA was eight to one. Me Reynolds Lone Wolf The lone dissenter was Justice Jame McReynolds. Four justices, however, presented a concurring opinion in connection with the majority decision read by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes. In succinct fashion, Hughes upheld the following rights of the government: 1. The right to build Wilson dam. key structure of the TVA, under war powers and powers of aiding navigation. n 2. The right to sell power produced at such dams. 60 Day Consideration 3. The right to build transmission lines to transport such power to a reasonable market. The lon-awaited opinion, delivered on the 60th day since the case was argued before the court, was believed by administration leaders to clear the way to wide and scattered "Little TVA” developments. Victory on these three points was all the New Deal had contended for. It was all that the utility interests had fought and condemned before the court. Restriction Mentioned Only one restriction on TVA plans appeared possible. That would develop if the government were to transmit power to points beyond those nedded to find an adequate market for the power. That question was not decided one way or the other, however. It would have to be raised in a future case when and if the government should attempt to embark on such a program. The attempted retail sale of power by the government might raise this issue.

Ethiopian Dead Number 12,000
Battle of Enderta Results In Decisive Victory For Italian Force
ROME, Feb. 17—(UP)—The Tribuna correspondent in Asmara estimated tonight that 12.000 Ethiopians had been killed in the battle of Enderta at Amba Aradam, and several times that number wounded and captured.
Many Ethiopians were picked up on the field of battle by the Italians after the black warriors had feigned death, the dispatch said.
Today’s cleaning-up operations resulted in the capture of many Ethiopians sleeping in caverns that dot the mountain.
Ammunition Seized
Large quantities of ammunition and artillery were abandoned by defeated blacks. Including six batteries and a dozen machine guns.
Indicating the great haste with which Ras Mulu Getta was forced to leave Amba Aradam. an Italian scouting party found his insignia of command and hir military decorations. including the Royal Victoria cross of England, in his abon-doned quarters. The Ethiopian minister of war nad been living in a tent erected in a large cave, furnished only with a stool and a wooden cot.
Prisoners Fear Doctors
Ethiopian wounded prisoners were taken to a field hospital erected at the foot of “Priest's Hat” promontory. which this correspondent inspected. They refused to lie in bed. but crouched on the floor, native fashion. They growled at the Italian medical attendants trying to aid them, fearful they would be killed.
