AGAIN APPEALED
Duke Co. Makes Second Plea
to Supreme Court to Bar
P. w. Adult Plants.
BY the Associated Pres.

BY the Associated Press.
The Duke Power Co. appealed TO the
Supreme Court today for a second
time in an effort to prevent the Pub
lie Works Administration from making
loans and grants for publicly owned
hydroelectric plants.
1t asked the tribunal to review de-
cision by the Fourth Circuit Court Of
Appeals sustaining a s2,S52.000 P. w.
A. loan and grant TO Greenwood
County, s. C., for An electric plant at
Buzzard Roost,
The court already has agreed 10 re-
view similar litigation brought by the
Alabama Power Co. and the Iowa CITY
Light a. Power Co. to stop the Gov
eminent from supplying money for
projects in those two States.
Arguments in the latter cases prob
ably will be heard next month II
the court consents to review the Duke
power case, it likely will be argued
with the others.
Case Sent Back Before.
Last term the court agreed 10 pass
on the Duke case, but then ruled that
procedure in lower courts had been
improper. 1t sent the litigation back
for new trial.
In It's new petition the company
contended the loan and grant:
Was mot within any power dele
gated to Congress by the general well
fare clause (of the Constitution.
Violated the tenth amendment 10
the Constitution in that it invades
powers and governs and controls mat
ters reserved to the States"
"Unlawfully delegates legislative
power to the executive department
| of the Government"
"Deprives petitioners of their prop
erty without due process of law"
The petition said approxim7 tely so
other suits involving the same oues-
tions were pending in the lowe Fed
eral courts.
Losses Held Result.
Due to the Federal subsidy the
power company contended. "the rates
OF the proposed plant have been fixed
substantially below the rates of petit
| tioners.
Should the proposed plant be con-
structed and put into operation. the
effect of the lower rates would be- IN
force petitioners to make reductions
in their rates.
In the three counties of Greenwood,
Newoerry and Laurens alone, petition
ers would sustain net loss of approxi-
mately s25o,0o0 year"
The petition was signed by a aroup
of lawyers headed by Newton ID. Baker.

LOAN PLAN BACKED
BY SHAREHOLDERS
Mrs. N. C. Bulls, Chairman
OF Fidelity Group, One
of First to Sign.

Shareholders of the closed Fidelity
Building L. Loan Association were
pouring into the Office of the receiver,
James H. Nolan, at $40 Thirteenth
street today in response to the pro-
posal to reopen the Fidelity as the
First Federal Savings e. Loan Asso-
citation.
In addition to those calling in per-
son, many agreements to purchase
shares in the new association, with the
85 per cent allowed on holdings in the
old association, were coming in the
mail, Nolan said.
Among the early sieners of the
consent agreement to purchase shares
in the First Federal, was Mrs. Mark
G. Bulls, chairman of a shareholders
committee which has been working
for reorganization.
Mrs. Bulls expressed qualification
that the plan has reached the stage of
an Official offer to the shareholders.
1T is now up to the shareholders
themselves" she said, ito make the re-
organization proposal success"
She urged shareholders to sign the
consent agreements, to purchase shares
In the new association, with the IS
per cent allowed on their old accounts.
In order for the new institution to re-
open, she reminded shareholders, it
will be necessary for the receiver to
have in hand consent agreements
amounting TO three-fourths of the
total dollar value of the shareholders
claims against Fidelity.
Under the plan as outlined in let
ters sent to shareholders by the re-
ceiver, it is thus possible for the
shareholder to receive 85 cents on the
dollar from his old account, either in
shares in the new association, or in
cash.
Shareholders have until September
80 to make returns to the receiver.
