HOUSE GIVES
IVA VICTORY
TOPRES|DENT

WASHINGTON, July IL Up) =
President Roosevelt's power program
advocates today scored a smashing
comeback, when a previously re-
bellious house approved the con-
troversial Tennessee Valley au-
thority amendments extending the
scope of the administration "elec-
trio rate yardstick" project.
The final vote came after the
house rejected q Republican motion
to recommit the bill to the military
affairs committee to insert pro-
vision which would have prevented
IVA from selling surplus power be-
low production cost after July l,
1898.
Baking Democrats swung into
line as administration leaders rip
ped up compromise" bill that had
squeezed out of a deadlock COM
mittee by 13 to II vote and in
serted amendments to make it con-
form closely to the senate approved
bill, which the house favors.
The bill now goes to the senate
for conference.
The house bill differs only in one
fundamental respect from the senate
measure and this will be settled in
conference.
The senate bill contains a pro-
vision that IVA can increase its
bond issuing capacity from $780,
100000 to $10O,0OO,OOO to purchase
private utility properties for resale
to states and municipalities.
Retains Money Limit
The house bill retains the $50
100000 limit and does not give
power to use funds for refinancing
the sale of private properties to
cities and utilities.
Powerful administration forces,
led by Rep. Lister Hill (Dem) Ala
bama, won on all four major at
temptS to amend the bill.
This was in sharp contrast to the
rebellious house of last week, which
beat the White House on demands
to insert a death sentence" on I'M

Wheeler Rayburn utilities bill.
The house bill as passed would
validate sales of surplus IVA power
and chemicals which have been at
tackled in a federal court decision.
The administration succeeded in
eliminating a provision which would
have authorized the comptroller
general to pass on all financial
transactions or accounts of IVA.
The bill now provides for an audit
of IVA accounts by the comptrol-
ler's office at least once a year. The
audit will be submitted to congress
after IVA officials had had oppor-
tunity to criticize it.
The house eliminated a provision
which would have forbade iva to
sell power below cost after July l,
1887.
1t restored a section empowering
IVA directors to pass on all private
dam construction on the Tennessee
river and tributaries affecting flood
control or navigation.
