IVA PROBE SUGGESTED

In view of the long-standing feud
which has existed among directors of the
Tennessee Valley Authority, particularly
between Chairman Morgan and Director
Lilienthal, the idea that there should be a
thorough investigation of the whole set-up
is being expressed by several members of
Congress.
Pat There is no doubt that the continual
Iwfangling within The iva has been high
sIy detrimental to. the interests of the pub
lie. An agency of the government to be
entrusted with the ultimate spending of
some 500 million dollars from the national
treasury, in an experiment of doubtful
value at best, should certainly be in the
hands of men who would work together in
some semblance of harmony
This does not mean that in such an
undertaking there could. always be agree
ment without discussion and the ironing
out of differences. But when members of
the board clash to the extent that bitter
personal antagonisms become chronic, and
they issue public statements denouncing
one another, as the IVA directors have
been doing, Congress might, well look into
the situation.
Aside from the matter of personal
differences among its directors, which
have tended to create copfusioIAs and a
lack of confidence on the part of the pub
lie, there are ample grounds For THE be-
lief that the whole IVA program is un-
sound in principle and is resulting in an
enormous waste of public funds.

Father ONeill had his picture

named in his honor. It is Of the
species known as ''hatpin plant"
and will bear the sonorous, but

"Syngonanthus ONeill Moldenke. I"
It was so named by DR.. Harold N.

climes.
A banana tree thrived, but was
