The Duke company challenged validity of a PWA loan and grant to Greenwood County, S. C, for construction of the Buzzard Roosl hydroelectric project on the Saluda river. The Alabama company attacked four proposed municipal power project* in small northern Alabama communities.

Norris, 1., Neb., today » introduced a joint resolution for a ’ fat-reaching investigation of the Tennessee Valley authority, i i Norris, father of the TVA, caught I I the senate off guard, introducing ' j his resolution immediately after It [convened. 1 j His action followed recent re- | ports of strife within the TVA 1 ' directorate. I The investigation under Norris' ! resolution would be conducted by i the federal trade* commission. The resolution called for a j sweeping inquiry, including: 1. Whether the TVA board is, | carrying out efficiently and eco-! nomlcally the work authorized! under the act. 2. Whether that work is handicapped by internal dissension i j among board members, and if so. 1 the cause of the dissension. 3. Whether any members of the hoard are holding their positions in violation of the regulations set forth in the act or whether they have given any aid to power companies which have fought the TVA. 4. What loss has been sustained by municipalities and farmers prevented by private companies' injunctions from obtaining TVA power. 5. What suits have been instituted in the courts by private companies and what have been their effects. 6. To what extent has public interest been affected by efforts of private utilities to prevent farmers and municipalities from obtaini ing TVA power. o PRES.

I duct ion within given Industries : and consequent recessions In production until such time as the surplus is consumed." 1 1 Use of patent laws by large cor- ■ porations to withhold from the public scientific advances. Unfair competitive practices which react against small producers. Intimidation of state or local governments to prevent enactment of laws to aid labor. Shifting of production from one region to another to lower labor costs. "The enumeration of these j abuses,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “does not mean that business as a whole is guilty of them ” The president also called atten--1 tlon to a factor cited in recent addresses by Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes and Assistant i Attorney General Robert Jackson. “Another group of problems affecting business," he said, "which cannot be termed specific abuses, gives us food for grave thought about the future. Generally, such problems arise out of the concentration of economic control to the j detriment of the body politic — | control of other people's money, j other people's labor, other people's lives. “The ownership of vast properties or the organization of thousands of workers creates a heavy obligation of public service. The power should not be sought or sanctioned unless the responsibility is accepted as well." Government, said Mr. Roosevelt “can be expected to cooperate in every way with the business of the nation provided the component parts of business abandon practices which do not belong to this day and age, and adopt price and production policies appropriate to the times. “In regard to the relationship of government to certain processes of business, to which I have referred, it seems clear to me that existing laws require reconstruction. I expect, therefore, to address the congress in a special message on this j subject and I hope to have the help of business in the efforts of government to help business." The president flatly abandoned hopes for a balanced budget for the 1939 fiscal year, beginning July 1. “The proposed budget for 1939,” he said, “which I shall shortly send to congress, will exhibit a further decrease in the deficit, ! though not a balance between inj come and outgo.” LEADERS PLAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Monroe better homes club.
