F~Wendeu Willkie, president of
Commonwealth 4 Southern Corp,
the biggest utility operating In the
Tennessee Valley area, suggested to
President Roosevelt January IS
that the Government buy his firm
at a price to be fred BY three az
dter-one named BY the White

1Dhich has been upheld ds constt-

A clear-cut policy on purchase Of
private utility systems by the Tennes-
see Valley Authority appeared likely
to develop from 4 conference this
afternoon between President Roosevelt
and Gov. Gordon Browning Of Ten
nessee
Whether 1t will follow the line Of
Federal-State corporation advocated
by Gov. Browning was uncertain His
proposal already has brought some un-
favorable reaction here.
Senator Norris, Independent. of
Nebraska, congressional sponsor Of the
T. v. A., said he thought purchases
should Be handled by the agency with
out State participation, but he ex-
pressed willingness to consider the
Tennessee Governors proposal care
fully.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Of
Tennessee has opposed the Browning
plan. although emphasizing he had no
objection TO direct purchases BY the
7. v. A.
Any policy finally decided on by Mr.
Roosevelt and the +. v. A. directors is
almost certain to require some action
by Congress.
David z. Lilienthal, 4 T. v. A. direc-
tor. said after . conference with Presi-

for negotiations for purchase Of the
useful physical assets" Of some Of the
