By the Associated Press.
At the invitation OF President
Roosevelt, private and Government
power experts converged on the White
House today to discuss the question of
pooling private and public electric
power.
The President arrived here from
Syracuse in mid-morning and drove
to the White House in q chill rain.
Besides the power talk, his engage
ments for the day include conferences
on the Peru-Ecuador boundary ques-
ton and with his newly-appointed
Maritime Commission. He will depart
again tonight for political speech
in Pittsburgh tomorrow night.
In calling the power meeting the
President had suggested that large
economies" would be effected by pool
ing power through joint use of exist
ing transmission networks.
A power exchange between Ten
nessee Valley Authority and the pri-
vate utilities of the Southeast was a
major proposal to come before the
meeting, but the White House indi-
Gated the talk would touch similar
possibilities for Bonneville Darn on
the Columbia River and other public
works projects.
A power pool. experts said, might
operate on the principle of taking
power from the cheapest available
source at any given time. Thus the
Government and a private utility sys-
tenn each could draw on the others
power supply.
Through the pool, they said, Gus
toners buying power from T. v. A.
might be served with private power
during certain periods, and, at other
times, the private utility's customers
might be served T. v. A. power.
David e. Lilienthal. a director of
the T. v. A., and one of the White
House conferees, revealed earlier he
had been working on such q grid"
system of power exchange for the
Southeast for the past two years.
