DISMISSAL DENIED
|. AUTHORITY
Tennessee Judge UphoIds
Right of Utilities to At
tack Program.
By the Associated Press.

6y t1e AosOCldtco EicoSs
COOKEvILLE. Tenn, November Z.
The disputed right of 10 Southern
power companies to make q mass
attack on the whole Tennessee Valley
Authority power program won ap-
proval of Federal District Court to-
day.
Acting in a case brought by the
utilities to test the constitutionanty
of the program, Judge John j. Gore
overruled motion by T. v. A. counsel
for dismissal of the suit.
The T. v. A. claimed, among other
grounds for dismissal, that some OF
the 19 power companies have not been
affected by the authority's vast hydro
electric developments on the Tennes-
see River.
Those companies which have been
affected, attorneys for the Govern
ment agency argued in a hearing
yesterday, have been affected differ
emily and should file separate suits.
Same Relief Held Sought.
Judge Gore, however, held that
while the utilities may be interested
in the outcome of the case 'in vary
ing degrees" all are seeking the same
relief-a court order holding some
or all of the T. v. A. S power activities
to be either unconstitutional or In
excess of the T. v. A. act.
Counsel for the power companies
have asked a temporary injunction to
halt any expansion of the authority's
power program pending a final de-
cision in the suit, which will be car
ried to the Supreme Court. No date
for a hearing has been set, but the
temporary injunction plea probably
will be argued comparatively coon.
The court indicated the case would
be. brought to hearing on its merits
promptly.
In holding all phases of the vast
power program could be brought
under the scrutiny of the court in a
single suit, Judge Gore said the
pleadings of the power companies are
supported by charges the companies
make against the authority.
Constitutional Question.
Their claim, he said, is that the
T. v. A. act, the power program it
authorized and the power program
which is actually being developed "are
not authorized by the Constitution"
The utilities also properly contend,
he held, that the directors of the T.
v. A. are engaged in carrying out
a single program, plan or conspiracy.
the execution of which will irrepar-
ably injure, if it does not totally de-
stroy, the property and business Of
each of the complainants."
Contrary to the arguments by T. ".
A. counsel, he held that the bill filed
by the utilities charged many Spe-
cific acts, done and threatened to. be

to users of nearby park areas. They
charge that a great amount Of Slime"
will be dumped into the river. an
amount which Gardner said in reply
would be negligible"
Government officials also are con-
cerned with the problem Of blood
dust" which will be carried from the
casing plant, they claimed, to be
waited over the neighborhood. Gard
ner claimed that the equipment was
SUFFICIENT to qualm these fears.
The blood from the animals during
the processing is cooked" and dried
into cakes to be sold for fertilizing.
Onicials claimed that the Gobel plans
do not call for enough cookers and
that q quantity of blood will seep
into the river as it runs OF into the
cookers. Dust from the dried cakes.
they claim, would settle on window
frames in the neighborhood.

The only reason why more COM
