UTILITIES ARGUE
TWAS VALIDITY

!. WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. (UP)
Private utility interests carried
their fight against the Tennessee
Valley authority to the supreme
court yesterday in an attempt to
prove that the New Deals vast
experiment in public power is un-
constitutional.
! Raymond L. Jackson, Cleveland
attorney, began oral arguments
against the basic IVA program
shortly after the court convened.
Justice Stanley F. Reed, who
directed the governments litiga-
tion in it's early stages, left the
bench, indicating he would not
participate in consideration of the
case. Reed was u. S. solicitor-gen-
eral before his elevation to the
high court.
Il Meanwhile the joint congress
sSienal committee Investigating
IVA met in executive session to
prepare to reopen public hear
ings. The committee was named
by the seventy-ffth congress af-
ter DR.. Arthur E. Morgan, ousted
chairman of IVA, accused his col
leagues, David E. Lilienthal and
DR.. Harcourt A. Morgan, of NAL
administration.
In opening his argument, Jack
son related the history of the lit
igation and told how special
three-judge court in eastern Ten
nessee last spring had declared
the program constitutional. The
utility companies fighting the IVA
are appealing from this decision.
The Cleveland attorney, after
citing complex statistical tables
intended to show that the output
Of electrical energy by IVA was
larger than power sold by private
utilities within $50 miles Of IVA
dams, said that the "inevitable
result" of the program would be
to deprive the states OF their
right to regulate the electrical
industry. He further contended
that the federal government is
acting "illegally" by participating
in the power business. =,
Jackson said that flood control
and navigation, two of the prin-
cipal objectives of IVA, are mere
subterfuges. He argued that the
"unified grid" system established
hD TVA ;e en- constructed that
power can be drawn off at any
place, and integrates various dams
in such a way that IVA manifest
ly is primarily interested in pow
er production rather than flood
control and navigation.

channel in the Tennessee river
