BROOKINGS OFFICER
SPEAKS ON PRICES
DR.. Nourse Says Business Must
Supply Goods at Figures That
People Can Pay.

Conceeding that freedom of eco
nomic enterprise" is essential to the
Nations well-being. DR.. E. G. Nourse,
director of economic research, told
guests at the annual dinner of trustees
of the Brookings Institution last night
that such a freedom implies RESPONSE
bility as we'll as opportunity.
Business, he said, must serve the
people of America in the fullest way
permitted by our great resources. This
means finding ways of supplying
goods at prices people can pay and
even accepting business at loss in
the short run for the sake of enlarged
and sustained productivity in the long
run" Business must show such skill
in the finesse of pricing as to approach
reasonably close to capacity operation. y
As contrast to the virtues of the
"finesse stage" of operating the price
system. DR.. Nourse warned against
the exploitation stage"
THE man who today tries to fence
an industrial highway and exact an
exorbitant toll from those who would
travel the road to consumer salts
faction is in danger Of defeating him.
SELF" he said. Under modern con-
ditions of technology, applied science
is likely to find other methods of
progress. The chemist will build a
detour around him, the PHYSICIST will
drive a tunnel under him, or q biologi-
cal overpass will be devised"
The address took the form of q
preliminary report on . study of in
dustrial price policy just completed
by DR.. Nourse and DR.. H. B. Dr,lry.

Secretary Ickes and John Collier,
head of the Indian Bureau Of the
Interior Department, were charged
with using the magazine Indians at

ito spread propaganda, to perpetuate
the administration in power. to WIN
the favor of the voters and to un-
lawfully influence Congress on pend
ing legislation"
He says that the defendants filed
claims against the Government for
100000 to cover the cost of the publl-
cation and that since it was not au-
thorized they are liable under the law
for double that amount.

Secretary Ickes and Mr.. Collier un-
lawfully used Government funds TO

suit of an article published in the
magazine. Mr.. Pelley also claimed the
defendants were liable for 100000 in
that connection.

Will Take Custer Fight

BACKGROUND

Development OF Tennessee VAL
ley ,oaS one OF first and greatest of
NelD Deal experiments. Several
months ago success of project iDus
jeopardized By bitter dispute uhtch
arose among three members Of dd-
miristrGtirc board. Finally Chair
man A. E. Morgan wds renoued
from office by President. Situation
resulted in decision By Congress to
conduct inquiry into all phases OF
project.
By tie Associated Press.
Senators Norris, independent, Of
Nebraska and King, Democrat, OF
Utah disagreed today on whether
the statement given a congressional
investigation committee by DR.. Arthur
E. Morgan, ousted chairman of the
Tennessee Valley Authority, warranted
further inquiry into the agency.
Senator Norris said he had studied
the statement and found nothing
surprising or new" or worthy Of.
further investigation. He added that
while this was his viewpoint in the
light of an intimate knowledge Of
the T. V. A. organization, he was
not suggesting that the committee
abandon its investigation.
The members ought to- satisfy
themselves" he said
On the other hand, Senator King
said he thought Mr.. Morgan's state
ment lent credence to the view that
the policy back of T. " A. had been
one of laying the foundation for the
absorption by the Federal Govern
ment of all utilities"
Mr.. Morgan accused T. V. A. Di-
rectors Harcourt A. Morgan and David
E. Lilienthal of mismanagement, con-
spiracy and making false and mis-
leading reports. They, in turn,
charged him with efforts to sabotage
and obstruct the T v. A. program.
The ousted former chairman lndi-
Gated yesterday that he would chal.
lenge in .re courts the right of Pres!-

said, though refusing to commit him.
self
Friends of Harcourt Morgan and
Mr.. Lilienthal said they probably
would not reply to Arthur Morgan's
letter defending some of his proposals
which they had termed Impractical
and highly visionary"
In the letter, Mr.. Morgan said his
proposal to inquire into ethics of real
estate men operating in the vicinity
of Muscle Shoals had stopped a ma
tional campaign to exploit prospective
investors in land there. ,
He said his proposal to establish
Government cement plant, called
visionary" by Harcourt Morgan. had
saved the T. V. A. over 81 100000 on
