KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 9-James
L. Fly, general counsel for the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, said yesterday
DR.. Arthur E. Morgan's lawsuit to re-
gain his post Of T. v. A. chairman
director was q direct attack on the
President"
while the suit technically is for

rector" the attorney said, "still the
underlying and controlling point is the
scope Of the Presidents power"
DR.. Morgan challenged the Presi-
dents power to remove him. The de-
tense will contend, Mr.. Fly said. that
the President had the power of re-
moval and that DR.. Morgan is not en-
titled to back salary or recognition as
T. v. A. director-chairman.
Since the President cannot be sued,
Dr.. Morgan sued the T. v. A. for back
salary Of $2,916.66 and then asked a
decree voiding the Presidents removal
order, among other things.
The Tennessee Valley Authority and
the United States Department of JUS
tice will join to defend President
Roosevelt's custer. Mr.. Fly said, adding
he would meet United States Solicitor

ton Monday to discuss the case. An
