Development of
Water Power at
.? Highest Level
More Project Under Way at
Present Than in Any Previ
ous Period in Nation's
History.
Washington, July 21. There i
more water power development un
der way at the present time than at
any previous period in the nation's
history, the federal power commis
sion reported today in reviewing the
results ot its two years ot adminis
tration under the water power act,
Applications for development total
4i, . i -k
o.i ana involve approximately -w,-000,000-horsepower,
or more than
twice the existing power installations
ol the country.
Flood ot Applications.
In the last year, after the first flood
of applications- had come on, aggre
Bated 6.000.000-horsepower of pro
posed installation. Up to June 30
last, the report said, the commission
had authorized a total of 60 pre
liminary or survey permits, and 49
licenses, Is of the latter tor transmis
sion lines, the permits involving an
estimated installation of 2,386,000
horsepower, and the 31 licenses for
power projects, 1,932.000-horsepower.
Although it has been able to take
final action on more than half of the
applications for permits and licenses
filed, the commission, the report said,
has been forced to delay action on
many important projects due to what
was said to have proved to be a
wholly inadequate personnel to han
dle the great amount of administra
tive detail and supervisibn required
in the. legislation.
Duties Omitted.
For this reason also, the report
said, the commission "has been
forced to omit altogether, the per
formance of important duties, this
being particularly true of valuations
qf which, it was said, cases "involv
ing approximately SIOU.UUU.OUO are
now awaiting action. Forced by in
ability to complete valuations, to de
cide between suspending licenses
where valuations were involved or to
provide for these in the future, the
commission, it was said, had "taken
the latter course in order that much
needed valuation might proceed."
Such a course, however, the com
mission said, is almost certain to re
sult in prolonged litigation and in ex
penses many times greater than
would have been required had the
commission been given in the be
ginning the means for carrying out
this requirement of the law."

German's $100,000
HangsjnBalance
Kinsler Disputes Judge's Rul
ing That Man Still U. S.
Citizen.
Potetion of Heinrich Sinjen'
$100,000 hangs in the balance.
Sinjen is the N'aponce, Neb., farm
er, a German in birth, to whom Fed
eral Judge Woodrough, on May 31,
restored that amount to Franklin
county land and property, held since
the war by the alien property cuito
dian. ,
Yesterday J. C. Kinsler, United
States district attorney, appealed the
case to circuit court on grounds that
the judge's collateral finding that
Sinien u-as still a citizen of the
United States, is erroneous.
Sinjen went to Germany in 1913,
When war broke out he was no:
permitted to return to this country,
he asserts. Lnited States law de
prives him of citizenship after two
years, if he does not renew his pass
ports.
Immigration authorities contend he
entered this country illegally through
the Mexican border, this serine.
Counsel for Sinjen argued that was
the only way he could get back.
If the higher court holds Sinien
forfeited his citizenship the $100.-
000 reverts to the United States gov
ernment.
