TWO SENATORS
SEE DISASTER.
IN COURT BILL.
Chairman Sumner, House
Judiciary Group Breaks
With F. R.
URGES WITHDRAWAL
OF COURT MEASURE

WASHINGTON, July If (UP)
Chairman hatton w. Summers
3D., TeX.,) Of the house judiciary
committee, openly broke with
President Roosevelt over the SUI
preme court issue yesterday urg-
ing him to abandon the "unneces-
sary" reorganization bill which,
ne said, is tearing the country
wide open.
Summers spoke his mind on the
court issue as two Democratic
senators sought to warn the pres
ident that disaster" lies ahead
for the party if tn chill is passed,
and one suggested that Mr.. Roose-
welt would have to become dicta-
tor Sin order to head off an
other"
81 want to appeal to the coun-
try and to it's officers" said Sum-
ners, "to consider whether in
view of what's happening it would
not be better to cease to attempt
to pass through an unnecessary
piece of legislation"
Summers, a house veteran and
wellliked, was cheered as he made
his first formal statement on the
issue which has produced the ses-
sion grcateZat- battle in the senate
with Democratic fighting Demo-
crat in seven successive days of
debate. He asked for quiet.
al want to talk plain and do
good for my country and for the
president" he said. 81 don't want
to discuss this bill but the havoc
it is working on the solidarity of
the nation. Don't let anyone be
so misunderstanding as to think
this country is safe from a dicta-
tor"
Dictatorship was the theme
stressed in the senate by Senator
Josiah w. Bailey 3D., MO- who
continued the opposition attack,
and who was followed by Sena-
tor Royal S. Copeland d., N.Y.
Copeland also urged that the
president withdraw the bill.
81 do not accuse the president
of seeking TO be dictator" said
Bailey, "but | do not hesitate to
say that if this legislation shall be
adopted the road to dictatorship
for him or some other will be
perfectly clear.
81 do not hesitate to say that
should we adopt this policy there
are those of us who might argue
that it would be better to make
him dictator in order to head off
another.
of we are to have a dictator,
probably he would be better one
than any other who would be die
tator. But we do not want die
tator."
Copeland who has been at outs
with the administration urged Mr..
Roosevelt to withdraw the court
bill.

INTEREST VETO
0VERRIDDEN IN
HOUSE.
Senate May Not Be Able
To Act Before Measure
Becomes Law

WASHINGTON, July ID. (UP)
The house late yesterday over
rode President Roosevelt's veto Of
a bill to extend low interest rates
on federal farm land bank loans
for another year despite a stern
White House warning that the
measure presents a $30,000,OOO
threat to balanced budget.
The vote was 260 TO 81.
Fate of the bill now lies in the
senate which also must override
before the measure can become
law. Early action is improbable
since it cannot be called up until
the controversial judiciary reor-
ganization bill is disposed Of.
The vote came after Majority
Leader Sam Rayburn 3D., Tex.)
appealed for support of the presi-
dent on the ground that the farm
emergency had passed and that
the loan bill set up a dangerous
precedent which other federal
agencies might be called upon to
follow.
His arguments were lost, how
ever, in the sharp struggle that
saw one Of Mr.. Roosevelt's ablest
house lieutenants. Chairman Mar
vim Jones d., Tex.), of the agri-
culture committee, join with Re-
publicans in pleading that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's veto be over
turned.
On June 2, the house and SEN
ate quickly voted to pass over Mr..

GEORGIA POWER co. HEAD
SAYS IVA ACTIVITIES EQUAL
INDUSTRIES PERSECUTION

ATLANTA, Ga, July II. (UP)
Arkwright, president
Of the Georgia Power compny,
said Yesterday the activities of the
Tennessee Valley Authority am
ountcd to federal persecution"
of private utilities.
Arkwright made the charge
when he appeared in answer to a
rule nisi by the Georgia Public
Service Commission, ordering the
power company to show cause why
its commercial rate structure
should not be revised downward.
"There is no doubt but that
activities Of IVA amounts to fed
cral persecution of private utili-
ties" Arkwright charged. "The
federal program has caused Geor-
gia's powers bonds to suffer be-
cause of a fear of what the IVA
will do to our business.
Because of inroads of IVA
the finincial position of our COM
pany is not good. Since 1928,
there has been 20 rate reductions,
together with an average expen-
diture of $6,500,00O a year for
expansion, both of which has con-
tributed to the poor financial con-
dition."
Arkwright said the threat of
iva competition has made it inn
possible for the power company
to sell more than $6,000,000
worth Of bonds at their par value.
He cited figures to show that 2S,-
OS7 commercial consumers in
1928 had been increased to 40,-
53l in 1886, while the average
cost per kilowatt hour to the con-
sumner had decreased from 4.52
cents in 1928 to 800 cents in
1886.
"But this progress in serving
the people cannot be continued
with the threat of IVA hanging
over our heads" he said.
Arkwright charged the Author
ity had refused to sell its power
to the Georgia company for dis
tribution in certain cities where
IVA has set aside funds for con-
'truction of transmission lines.
with the threat of IVA in
roads in these cities we would be
glad to buy power from the gov
,rnment and give our customers
he benefit of lower rates. The
IVA, however, is refusing to sell
power now and this threat makes
/ extremely difficult for the
to finance expansion it
elf"
The utility executive said most
ate reductions of recent years
rave resulted from complaints
rom customers.
"Today, however, we face a
contemplated reduction due en-
rely to the initiation of the pub
ic service commission.
There are no customers at
his hearing and in view Of their
'hsence it is reasonable to con-
Jude that the customers have no
Their income is high I
r now than in recent years and
other living and opera
ion costs have increased, power
ates have not"
The commission took no action
on ordering a rate re-
Iuction but was expected to rem
Ter decision in the near future.
