GOP In Tennessee Battle Over IVA Republicans At Odds Over New Chairman MEMPHIS, Tenn.. UP — Tennessee Republicans, who held hand* long enough In 1952 to carry '■ the state for President Eisenhower, are battling each other again—over the Tennessee Valley Authority, biggest business in the stat#. The center of the scrap, which eyen has (Republicans lined up with Democrats, is a mild-man-nered poultry-and-egg man from Chattanooga, Harry C. Carbaugh. The 58-year-old Carbaugh has been prominently mentioned as successor to Gordon Clapp as chairman of the TVA board. East Tennessee Republicans, who held the fort, during the lean years of Democratic administrations, want Carbaugh appointed by Mr. Eisenhower. West Tennessee Republicans, the so-called “new guard” party members who were among Mr. Eisenhower’s biggest boosters, don’t want Carbaugh. Business Methods Allan Redd of Memphis, leader of the westerners, is quick to point out that his group has “nothing personally against Mr. Carbaugh.’’ But his group “is unalterably opposed to initiating the operation

which may result in the TVA becoming the political grabbag of the Republican Party or any other administration.” .1 The state GOP chairman, Guy Smith of Knoxville, and U.S. Rap. B. CarrdlT Reece of Johnson City ara among Carbaugh's sponsors. The chairmanship of TVA pays 115.000 a year and the appointment would be for nine years. TVA actually covers parts of six other states, but in Tennessee it is a part of the economy of practically every section. The Democrats, led by Gov. Frank Clement, want to see Clapp kept on the job. The “new guard" Republicans haven't made any specific recommendations for a successor to Clapp. Carbaugh, whose poultry and egg business grosses better than 125,000,000 a year, said that if appointed, he’ll run TVA just as he would his business, 'considering his appointment non political. His views wuoldn't necessarily be those of Smith or anybody else, he added. GOP Fund-Raiser Some critics of Carbaugh’s possible appointment have pointed to the fact that he’s been an active GOP fund-raiser for 10 years, which would make his appointment "political." Carbaugh’s answer is that he’s always been just a volunteer worker, and “how are we going to have good government if citizens do not take an active part in politics’” “Any volunteer worker would be in my category,” he added, “the

I merely says he agrees with Mr. Eisenhower that TVA is an established business and disagrees with ‘ those who think it should be sold. Carbaugh began his poultry and egg biisiness in 1921 and is credited with pioneering an idea now used by many other firms. Under the plan, Carbaugh’s firm furnishes a farmer with baby chicks and feed. The farmer raises the chickens until they reach broiler size and is paid about 15 cents per broiler for his troubles. Carbaugh has such contracts with 300 north Georgia farm families, and the poultry industry in that section has become a 8100,000,000-a-year operation. This Is Promotion?
