UNEMPLOYED RELIEF
GIANT REGIONAL PLAN
ROOSEVELT'S DREAM
WASHINGTON, February 9. An enineering dream for-the relief of unemployment emanates from the President-elect (Mr. Roosevelt). He would turn tho West Tennessee j watershed "into tho most interesting industrial reafforestation and farming experiment any Government, has ever undertaken" by using 200,000 unemployed during the coming three years on his magnificent plan. The project would extend into half a dozen States, besides Tennessee, and would eventually control the floods of the Mississippi River, and would increase the capacity of the Muscle Shoals (Alabama) power plant at the Tonnessee River rapids, by 3,000,000 horse-power.
