Certainly the Alabama Power Co, has no constitutional right to insist that 1t shall be the sole purchase Of the energy generated at the Wilson dan, that the energy shall be sold to St or to go to waste" he said.
 Hughes described the picture drawn by IVA opponents of the prospect that the government might use IVA power for factories that would compete with private indus- try.

 Tt is not using the energy geF- erated at the dam to manufacture commodities of any sort for the pub- lie.

 Government Had Conceded
 "The question here Is simply as to the disposal of that energy. And the government rightly conceded at the bar, in substance, that 1t was with out constitutional authority to &C., quire or dispose Of such energy ex- cept as 1t comes into being in the operation of works constructed in the exercise of some power delegated to the United States.
 "As VIC have said, these transmits sion lines lead directly from the dam, which has been lawfully constructed, and the question of the constitu- tionai right of the government to ac- quire or operate local or urban dis tribution systems is not involved"
