TVA MAJORITY REJECTS VIEW OF CHAIRMAN

Magazine Story Is Basis of Letters Criticizing Utilities” Tactics.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—A new flareup of the old power policy row within the Tennessee Valley Authority ‘has resulted in the release for publication, by the two majority members of the TVA board, of correspondence with the editor of the Atlantic Monthly. The magazine recently printed an article giving the anti-TVA views of Wendell L. Willkie, president of the Commonwealth & Southern Corp. which has large operations in TVA territory, and another giving the views of TVA’s chairman, Dr. Arthur E. Morgan. The correspondence indicates the majority of the board thought Chairman Morgan’s answer to Mr. Willkie ineffective. Incidentally, for the first time, Dr. Morgan identified himself in his article as a ‘“minority” member of the board.

Majority Side Told

The TVA’s statement to The Atlantic was signed by W. L. Sturdevant, information director, but obviously this was only a device to get the views of the majority members— Dr. H. A. Morgan and David E. Lilienthal—before the public. The first Sturdevant letter charged that Mr. Willkie had quoted part of a paragraph from a statement by Mr. Lilienthal in such a way that the power man’s piece lacked “candor and fairness.” To this, Ellery Sedgwick, Atlantic editor, answered with a question: Will the TVA keep its books and publish its figures “in the manner of private (utility) corporations with which the public is familiar?” It was in reply to this that the Sturdevant letter, authorized by the board, took the slap at Dr. Morgan, saying: “In view of the fact that The Atlantic Monthly did not see fit to open its columns to both sides of a public issue, the board feels it has no alternative but to make public the correspondence in this matter.”

Bookkeeping Explained The specific reply to Editor Sedgwick’s question was that the Federal Trade Commission had investigated and concluded that in the books of 18 private utilities and their subsidiaries there were “write-ups, improperly capitalized intangibles and inflation” totaling $1,491,000,000, and that the public interest would not be served if TVA kept books that way. The letter pointed out that TVA bookkeeping is done according to regulations of the Federal Power Commission. . The intra-TVA row reached its height about a year ago with publication by Chairman Morgan of a

long statement giving his views on.

the public power question. He counseled a course of magderation, instead of fighting the utilities. One of his statements that the TVA ought to let the private power companies know its policies was picked up almost word for word by Mr. Willkie in his Atlantic article.

TWO ARE FREED. IN ROADHOUSE SLAYING

JEFFERSONVILLE, Oct. 1 (U. P.) —C. W. Jones and Edwin Walker, Louisville, Ky., who have been in custody since early in July, were free today after a Clark County Grand Jury refused to indict them in the murder of Clarence Amster, prominent New Albany business man, last July 2. Mr. Amster was slain by three men while seated in the roadhouse of Walter Maddox outside the city. The gunmen also severely wounded Mr, Maddox’ wife. The shooting was believed by authorities to have been the result of a gambling war between Ciark and Floyd County establishments.

DR. CRILE FINDS DATAIN ARCTIC ON ENDOCRINES

Cold-Climate Animal Has

Larger Brain and Glands, He Says.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 1 (U. P.) —Dr. George 'W. Crile, of the Cleveland Clinic, back from a trip to the Arctic, is confident he has found further evidence in support of his theory that cold-climate animals have larger brains, thyroids and adrenals in proportion to their bodies than do animals in warmer climes. He expects a study of the 400 specimens of wild life gathered on his expedition to the Hudson Bay region to bear out his belief. With Dr. Crile on the expedition were Mrs. Crile, Dr. Daniel P. Quiring, of the department of biology. at Western Reserve University and the clinic staff, and A. B. Fuller, of the staff of the CleveJand Museum of Natural History. Vegetable Growth Brisk “One thing that struck me forcefully was the vigor of life in the short growing season in the North,” Dr. Quiring said. “In from six weeks to two months, wild gooseberries, blueberries and other fruit would sprout leaves and bear fruit. “There is a tremendous amount of fruit and a tremendous number of animals and birds.” Dr. Crile said the party collected white whales, walruses, ring seal, square flippers, caribou, Arctic hares and lemmings. They also made ob-

| servations of the blood pressures,

metabolism and cranial measurements of the Indians and Eskimos. Insight Into Civilization One of Dr. Crile’s findings will deal with the effect of civilization on human life—the relation of the brain, thyroid and adrenals to each other and to the body. Base of operations for the scientists, who went into the Hudson Bay country, was the schooner Nascopie; owned by the Hudson Bay company. © Joint expeditions by the Cleveland Clinic and the Museum of Natural History have collected a total of 8000 specimens from all parts of the world, ranging from a 20,000-pound whale to a shrew weighing only a fraction of an ounce.
