TVA UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT

Court Holds Government Has Righ To Build Dams and To Sell Eleetric Current

The supreme court Monday upheld constitutionality of the New Deal’s vast Tennessee Valley authority experiment on all points placed in issue in the present test. ' The vote of the supreme court to uphold the general constitutionality of the TVA was eight to one. The lone dissenter was Justice James McReynolds. Four justices however, presented a concurring opinion in connection with the majority decisjon readg by Chiet Jugtice Charles Evans Hughes. The opinion of the court was sd sweeping that New Deal power and legal experts immediately asserted it had given the right-of-way to the New Deal’s other vast power experiments, such as Grand Coulee, Bonnevills and Fort Peck. “The ruling” according to Edward J. Tooley, Jr., chief PWA counsel, “upheld the hight of the government to imiprove streams for navigation by dam projects. “Tt geclared constitutional the govvernment’s program o sell the power the projects created by water stor-a-ge‘!’ 5 "In succinct fashion, Hughes upheld the following rights of the government: : 1. The right to build Wilson dam, key structure of the TVA, under war powers and powers of aiding navigation. 2. The right to sell power produced at such dams. : 3. The right to build transmission lines to transport such power to a reasonable market. Victory on these three points was all the Wew Deal had contended for. It was all that the utility interest had fought and condemned before the court. ' Only one restriction on TVA plans appeared possible. That would develop if -the government were to tranémit power to points beyond those mneeded to find an adequate market for the power. That question was not decided one way or the other, however. It would have to be raised in a future case when and if the government should attempt t; embark on such a prograim. G R AT
