 Today, the former Wilson cabinet member will match his wits against the keen legal mind of John Lord CBrian, New York attorney, in what will perhaps be the final slirmish in advance of the actual hearing on the acts constitutional tty in the lower courts.
 Baker is chief of counsel for 19 major power companies that are seeking in 8 united effort, to over throw the New Deals power pro- gram by challenging its constitu- tionality. O'Brian was retained as a special counsel for IVA at the outset of the litigation.
 Suits Filed Months Ago
 Months ago, immediately after the Supreme Court ruling in the Ashwader case which partly up- held IVA, the 19 private power companies banded together and made a fresh assault on the entire triple purpose IVA program. They filed one suit in Knoxville chan cery court and an identical action in Northern Alabama district fed- eral court at Birmingham. The latter suit later was withdrawn and the Knoxville suit subsequent ly was transferred to the Eastern Tennessee federal district court.
 Meanwhile, ascomplications and Instructions impeded settlement of the involved litigation, the power companies became concerned over the rapidity with which IVA ex- pansion went forward. Hence, a petition was filed in Knoxville, seeking to halt all power general ing and transmission activities of the government agency pending settlement of the original suit. It is that injunction petition that is to ke herad by Judge Gore Friday.
 Seek to Enjoin TVT
 'sThe purpose of the dnjunc- tion) suit" the petitioners said at the time of filing, lis to enjoin the defendants from carrying on a proprietoyr business as a public utility or the generation, trans mission, distribution and sale of electric power.
 The voluminous briet pointed out that the issues presented therein "are urgent as well as im- portant."
 If the complainants are com- pelled to wait until all jurisdic- tional questions involving any the oretical doubt have been decided by @ court of last resort, the com plainants in the meantime will be completely at the mercy of the de- fendants' unlawful acts, which even now threaten the substantial if not complete destruction of the plaintiffs property before this can be heard upon it's merits" the bill declared.
 Legal Atmosphere Clearing
 Although almost as much water has flowed over the dam in a fig urative sense, as has sloshed over the half-dozen dams of the tre- nendous IVA systems, it now ap- pears that an end of the litigation is in sight. Motions, counter motions, postponements and an- Swers have been filed and argued since the suit was filed last May 19. Attorneys now agree that the long awaited action on the out right constitutionality question doubtless will be the next step af- ter the injunction suit is ended.
 Because of two semi-victories in recent skirmishes, power interests are more optimistic than any time since the 8-1 Ashwander de-

LOYAL WORKERS
 STARTED RIOT
One Dies, Thirty-six Are Injured Before Police
 Could Stop Clash

Chester, Pa, Dec. 11-(uP)-One man died and 36 injured today when loyal workers of the Sun Shipbuilding Company yards crash ed through heavy strike picket lines today.
 The victim was identified as John Young, 66, Chester, non-striking employe of the company. No marks were found on his body and it was believed he died either of shock or a heart attack brought on by the fighting.
 Peter Martain, 42, Camden, N. J., was injured critically and hospital attaches feared he might die.
 More than 1900 loyal workers, shouting we're going back to work, strike or no strike" found in mass formation on Chester's main thor oughfare and roared down on @ waiting line of about 500 picketS, many of them imported.
 Bricks Were Hurled
 Hurling bricks, clubs and fists, the workers made one futile charge on the picket lines, which failed to break.
 The loyal workers surged down toward the waterfront again. Fire engines roared out of an intersec- ton and into their path, heading towards the shipyards.
 The workers followed patch cut through the picket lines by fire engines.
 Ambulance crews picked up 37 victims of the rioting. They were unable to revive one of them, iden- tified only as by the name of Young. Hospital attaches said his skull had been crushed by a heavy club.
 Tickets asked State Police protec- ton and announced their determi- nation to prevent workers from en- tering the plant tomorrow morning.

Greenkeeping a Science.

REVIEWING the work of the past
IS years, DR.. Monteith writes in
the current issue Of Turf Culture: "As
you walk over a well-kept golf course
today it is hard to realize that until
well after the war our finest fairways
were glorif1ed meadows and our per-
feet putting greens were just patches
OF shorter grass. Yet it is no accident
that golf courses have improved more
in the last Is years than in the pre-
vious 100 In 1921 the first bulletin
Of the Greens Section of the United
States Golf Association was published.
Since then the 5000 pages of these
bulletins have lifted greenkeeping out
Of the realm of mysticism, quackery
and humbug and have revealed it as
science.
To-day there Is one right grass for
putting greens in each locality. In
1921 every greenkeeper had his pet.
Now we know what causes brown
patch and how to end it. In 1921
there were a dozen half-baked theories.
Today We spend less money on fer
tilizer and produce better turf than
We did in 1921. Now we can index
hundreds of articles, each Of which
ended arguments, overcame difficulties,
saved money and improved golf courses
in a very specific way.
