 O'Connor was charged with using an automobile without the permis- sion of the towner. The accused was said to have stolen a truck on the night of November 2. When ar- raigned yesterday he pleaded not guilty, but changed the plea when presented for trial today.
 Court Puzzled

. Thef' noted team of Corcoran and
Cohen Is hard at work trying to rescue
the administration from a power policy
snarl threatening to delay $56, ,78o. .026
worth Of p w. A. projects.
The job intrusted to the two young
Roosevelt advisers, Thomas G. Corco-
ran and Benjamin v. Cohen Is full of
political dynamite. It arises, accord
ing to inner circle informants, from a
recent fight in the Senate
Critics Of p. w. A. power policy tried
to write into the P. w. A. Act of 1898
a restriction against use of Federal
funds to build municipal power sys-
TENS which would compete with exist
ing private plants.
The attempt failed, but only after
Majority Leader Barkley had made a
promise. He said the administration
positively would not permit such use
OF funds unless the private plants re-
fused to accept fair and reasonable
offer to sell their properties to public
agencies. Senator Barkley indicated
this was gospel straight from head
quarters.
Would Punish Utilities.
After ne spoke. the act passed with
out sue hrestrictions. So far as the law
is concerned, P. w. A. may strike out
with a free hand in any direction
making loans and grants by the mil
lions for public power systems which
would parallel private utility property.
privately, some p w. A. officials
confide they want to do that yerv
thing. They still are angry at private
companies for blocking their first pub
lie power program for months through
lawsuits. They display urgent appli-
cations from municipalities for new
loans and grants. They have extern
slve legal and engineering STATS
primed for action.
But, directly across their path. lies
the Barkley statement of policy. p w.
A. officials express dissatisfaction with
1t, but in view Of it, they indicate they
nave delayed 40 public power projects
entailing expenditures of more than
$56, 900 900.

AT this point, the team of Corcoran
