As president of the institute, Nc
Carter declared war last month on
such public projects as the Tennessee
Valley Authority with its "yardstick"
of Federal power. He issued legal
opinion, written by Newton D. Baker
and James M Beck, in which T. v. A.
was called unconstitutional.
Rate Cuts Forecast.
McCarter follows a number of other
important power executives into the
White House. The President himself
was authority for the statement last
week that some private power officials
had agreed with the opinion that any
water found in companies capitali-
zation should be squeezed out and
rates lowered accordingly.
Though reports had been published
that the institute headed by McCarter
would drop a plan to test the consti-
tutionality of the T. v. A. in the
courts, they were described by Ber-
nard F. Weadock, vice president of
the group, as premature"

sent back to the House containing
that proposal, the House might very
well agree to 1t. The amendment
would be defended as an effort to
