might do, and told the railroad that
would be all right with him.
A great dither arose Immediately.
Would the President of the United
States be safe. travelling in such close
proximity to the public? Would not
there be danger Of some crank getting
into the same car and causing trouble? !?
That possibility did not trouble
Mr. Coolidge, and the reason was soon
evident. The railroad was soon en-
quilted with demands for tickets on
the same train he was taking Secret
service men, newsmen, photographers
and politicians all wanted to get on
the train. and all had the same right
to buy tickets as any other citizen.
What it really amounted to was that
Mr. Coolidge got his special train
without asking for 1t. 1t raised hob
with the railroads-once was enough.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
decided, at the railroads request. to
waive the special 60-ticket regulation
and ruled that for the protection Of
the President" a special train could
be assigned at the regular fare.
Most Of S25,o0o Usually Spent.
Presidents who have not spent their
expense allowance on travelling, have
spent it on entertainment. They are
given s25,000 year for these pur-
poses jointly and all Of them have
spent virtually all of 1t.
Theodore Roosevelt put through the
appropriation, though he spent only
s6 900 in the first year of the money
that was voted, less than $4,000 the
second and only slightly more than
that the third year. He ended the
custom Of the railroads in providing
free presidential trains.
william Howard Taft. his jovial
successor. loved to travel. Mr.. Taft
was known among the veteran attaches
Of the White House and Treasury as
the greatest travelling President
until the second Roosevelt came along.
Whether Taft or Franklin Roose-
welt has covered more miles has been
kept a close secret. Total mileage
figures are available-but not to the
public.
President Hoover overran his ex-
pense account by $4,000 in 1880 and
by nearly $4,000 in 1929 and had to
dig down in his pocket both years to
make up the difference. The only
other instances of this kind were in
the last year of President Harding s
term, when he spent s33, 500. and the
last year of Taft's term, when he
spent $28,600.

.ARGUMENTSHEARD
IN |. Y. A. FIGHT
Dismissal Motion Under Ad.
visement of Tennessee
Federal Judge.
Nv the Associated Press.

nv INC ASooCIhteu &AScc'
NASHVILLE. Tenn. October 10.-A
legal fight between the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority and private utility In
terests over the Governments vast
Tennessee River power program moved
nearer to the Supreme Court today
with completion of q hearing on
T. v. A. motion for dismissal.
At the conclusion Of arguments In
which former Secretary Of War New
ton d. Baker presented the power
companies case and John Lord
O'Brian Of the T. v. A. legal STAN up
held the Authority's motion, Federal
District Judge John j. Gore declared
he would lose no time in giving his
decision.
IT appreciate the importance Of an
early decision in this case" he said,
"for we never know what the law Is
until the Supreme Court tells u.s."
There was some belief the opinion
would be ready in about two weeks.
Several Results Possible.
Attorneys said any Of several results
were possible:
The court could uphold the motion
to dismiss the suit, in which event
the l9 complainant power companies
would appeal.
The court could overrule the motion
and the case would continue to fur
ther hearings, the next one possibly
being on a utilities plea for tempor-
ary Injunction against expansion OF
T. v. A. power activities.
The court could decide the ques-
ton of constitutionality as a means
of ruling on the issue Of jurisdiction
and this would throw the case imme-
diately into a higher tribunal. since
in such an instance, attorneys said
whichever side lost no doubt would
appeal Immediately.
In hearing on the motion month
ago Judge Gore said he tentatively
held the belief that the question OF
constitutionality would have to be set
tied as a means of deciding the juris-
dictional issue.
Constitutionality Issue.
II the T. v. A. act is constitutional
he said. it was his opinion the suit
could be heard only in the northern
district of Alabama. as the motion
contends. II the act is unconstitu.
tional. he continued. then the Au.
thority could be sued anywhere.
Section ga of the act sets out the
legal domicle of the T. v. A. is the
northern district Of Alabama.
O'Brian told the court today "tht
main question is whether the Ten.
nessee Valley Authority is valid ant
constitutional agency and whether tn,
Tennessee Valley Authority act is &
valid enactment"
The other question. he said, wa,
the question Of jurisdiction.
The bill of allegations flied by the
utilities, OBrian said, does not allegt
the act to be unconstitutional in it,
entirety" but Is confined to a single
field Of activity. namely, the genera.
ton and transmission and sale o.
electricity"
This statement was not challenged
in subsequent arguments made b.
Baker. who described the T. v. A
"a free booting agency" A spokes.
man for the utilities counsel said tha
contrary to a widespread impression
the bill challenged only certain sec
tions of the act. This left open I,
question whether the validity of sec
ton ga was involved at all.
