letters addressed to counsel by the
chairman.
Chairman Morgan" said the Pres
ident. Il should like to know if you
have any reply to make to the allega-
tions that have been made by Mr..
Lilienthal."
The statement he has made in
wolves striking and vital inaccuracies,
misrepresentation and omissions,
said the chairman. Il think that state
ment, and the large amount of matter
included, is very clear illustration
of the futility as fact-finding process
of such meetings as this was planned
to be-"
Spar on Statement.
"Of course" said the President,
that is general statement that you
have just made. Can you specify in
any way-give me a lead-as to just
what was left out, as to how it was
misrepresentation"
LAS said in the first statement" i"
the chairman answered, for a long
time hoped for an opportunity to do
that. I feel that that day is past.
and have nothing to add to my first
statement"
Would you be ready to give me that
an explanation of this statement of
yours-within a week."
II don't think I have anything to
add to that first statement?"
Gould you do it in two weeks9"
Il refer to my first statement"
an other words, doesn't it amount
to this" the President said, that you
decline to give any facts in support
Of the general allegation?"
II think my first statement covers
it,"
Il take judicial notice." the Presi-
dent said, that Chairman Morgan
has declined definitely to give any
reply to any of the questions of fact
that have been put"
Il have not declined to give replies
only under certain circumstances.
will you be ready to give the re-
plies within any reasonable time?"
Friday Meeting Arranged.
It was arranged finally that the
meeting would be reconvened next
Friday to permit the chairman and
the other members to submit written
statements.
After q discussion of further charges
against Chairman Morgan, the chair
man said:
Il should like to make just one
general statement, inasmuch as this
is all going to the press. The diff
culties have encountered began with
in a few weeks after the organization
Of the T. v. A. and they were very
critical, and they continued through
the years.
THE fact that for three years there
was not q dissent in the vote Of the
Authority, that there was apparent
harmony, represents three long pain
full, trying years and forebearance and
patience because thought that an
other solution would come out, and

which I asked him to send to the
T. v. A. board
This letter requested the board tc
make available to me the data and
assistance necessary for me to make
a report to the President concerning
the conditions had criticized. The
President did not grant that request
and made no alternative suggestions,
I am Of the opinion that this meeting
is not, and, in the nature of the case,
cannot be an effective or useful fact
finding occasion"
Response Cut Short.
The President cut this response
short with the assertion he wanted a
specific answer to his question with
reference to the Berry case. Il don't
want opinions" he stated.
Chairman Morgan previously had
intimated he thought his associates
had acted improperly by allegedly
calling in an outside expert to appraise
the Berry claims. He implied his be-
lief this was an attempt to give Sena-
tor Berry something for a worthless
claim.
The chairman, however, refused to
submit any facts in support of his
position, and DR.. Harcourt Morgan
and Mr.. Lilienthal submitted lengthy
statement, insisting they had acted for
what they considered to be the best
interests of r. v. A.
Pressed again for a direct answer bv
the President, Chairman Morgan re-
Piled
Il wish to complete my statement,
which will take about a minute
longer"
Insists on Facts.
Il don't want you in any state
ments to talk about opinions. want
you to conflne yourself to facts" said
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Il am giving my reasons for not
answering you directly, and I think
I must do it."
Are you planning to answer the
direct question:" the President per-
sisted.
MY statement" Chairman Morgan
answered, will indicate whether am
or not. = = To properly substantiate
the charges is not the work of morn
ing. Since the Congress has now
taken up the matter"
Mr.. Roosevelt cut him off again.
Have you any reason to believe this
will be confined to q morning3" he
asked.
Since the Congress has now taken
-" Mr.. Morgan ignored the inter-
ruption, but again the President cut in
Have you any reason to believe that
this hearing will be confined to q
morning."
Again Chairman Morgan ignored
the question.
Il should like to complete my state
ment, If I may, without interruption, !"
he said.
Since the Congress has now taken
up the matter, I believe that any re-
port by me should. under the terms
Of the T. v. A. Act, be filed with-the

tions that Harcourt Morgan and Mr.
Lilienthal had indulged in evasion
intrigue and sharp strategy with re-
markable skill"
Aluminium Contract Taken Up.
Next came an accusation by the
chairman that the T. V. AS contract
with the Aluminium Co. of America
failed to protect the public interest y
Mr.. Lilienthal responded that the
accusation was based upon the fact
that the board majority turned down
contract submitted by the chair
man on the ground it was against the
public interest"
The seventh and last of Chairman
Morgan's accusations, an imputation
that there was dishonesty in the board
OF directors, was passed over by Mr.
Lilienthal and Harcourt Morgan as
unansWerable without statement
by Chairman Morgan"
The latter'S statements disposed of,
the hearing turned to allegations made
about the chairman by Harcourt Nor
gan and Mr.. Lilienthal. The latter
have asserted the chairman used i'm
proper methods in carrying on the
controversy; that he employed his
craftsmanship to "obstruct" policies
agreed upon by the majority and that
opposition and obstruction" had "oc-
cupied virtually his entire time, to the
exclusion of attendance upon board
meetings.
Evidence Submitted.
They submitted oral and documen-
tary evidence which, they contended,
supported their accusations.
They made point of the fact that
an article by Chairman Morgan, in
terpreted as attacking Mr.. Lilienthal
and Harcourt Morgan. appeared in the
Atlantic monthly Of last September
with an accompanying article by Wen
dell L. Willkie. president of Common
wealth & Southern Corp.
Chairman Morgan denied the allie
CATION that his attendance at meet
ings had suffered unduly.
AT various times members Of the
board have been absent from meetings
for considerable periods" he said. "on
one occasion one of the other members
was absent five months in the year.
If and one other member are
present at Knoxville, very often 1t is
not feasible to get meeting; If the
two other members are present 1t Is
feasible to get meeting"
Illness Data Given.
Harcourt Morgan asked to whom
the chairman referred when he spoke
Of five-month absence from board
meetings. The chairman said he re-
ferred to Harcourt Morgan and the
latter told of long illness, giving the
dates Of entering and leaving the hos
pital, and accounts of meetings In
his home when he was indisposed.
The majority directors also charged
that the chairman "harassed" counsel
for the T. v. A. at q time when the
life Of that agency was at stake in
court proceedings brought by private
utilities. They submitted In evidence

an inquiry into the T. v. A. by the
Federal Trade Commission. If this
is made, he said, he then might pro-
pose resolution requiring Chairman
Morgan's resignation.
The T. V. A. controversy, originally
rooted in a fundamental difference
OF opinion between Chairman Nor
gan and his associates on ,mpor.aut
questions of power policy, developed
IN recent months into an acrimonious
personal quarrel. This led to mutual
accusations and several demands tor
q congressional investigation of the
power agency.
President Roosevelt, however, an
parently was opposed to a congress
sional inquiry and called the direC-
tors to the White House in what was
described as a t-finding" inquiry
designed to eliminate the dissension.
Attainment of this objective was
made impossible when Chairman Nor
gan, despite insistent requests from
the President, refused to submit any
evidence in support of his charges
Declaring he was IAN observer and
not a participant" at the conference,
the chairman described the PRESIDENT S
inquiry as IAN alleged process Of fact
finding" and announced he would
withhold all facts at his command
until given an opportunity to submit
them at "an impartial, comprehensive
and complete" investigation by Con-
gress.
He accused the President of not
giving full cooperation in correcting
what he considered grave conditions
within T. v. A., and contended the
other directors were given adequate
advance information Of what yester-
days hearing would involve, while he
was kept uninformed.
Both of these charges were denied
by Mr.. Roosevelt, who submitted cor
respondence between the chairman
and himself in support of his position
Quizzed on Berry Case.
The President then noted that
Chairman Morgan had referred to the

SYNOPSIS

In Spanish-governed California of 1888 a
conflict between Church and State is repre-
scented by two friendly enemies. frail old
Fray Junipero Sierra, Franciscan mission.
AIRY. and Don Pedro FACES. civil governor.
After telling Sierra he is sending to Mexico
for his wife and son. whom he has not seen
for eight years, he refuses his aid toward
founding the Santa Barbara Mission, Dona
Euialia agrees to 60 to California, accom-
panied by her duenna, Angustias. Don Pc
dro sends for Sierra, telling him that two
priests are on their way from Mexico with
Eulalia and young Pedro and that he Is
leaving to meet them. FACES engages a
young Indian girl. Indizuela, as maid for
Eulalia. Eulalia sails from San Bias. It is
a desolate trip. From the port of Loreto, a
large cavalcade loaded with Eulalia's party
starts out for the long overland trip. Eula-
ha, accustomed to luxury and comfort, Bit
terly regrets having been persuaded to
come. The two priests. Fray Mariana and
Fray Bartolomeo, call on her and arouse
her suspicious as to their genuineness. AS
the cavalcade stops at various missions.
Eulalia hears rumors of the approach of
her husband. While Don Pedro plans a
great fiesta to welcome his wife. Eulalia
plans her costume. Don Pedro welcomes
his beautiful wife and young son. Eulalia
is toasted as the Queen of the CALIFORNIA;.
On the long journey to Monterey, the re-
united couple are royalty entertained at the
Preside at San Diego. Eulalia disapproves
of the democratic relations of Don Pedro
and his people. Pleading WEAKNESS in the
midst of the feast she goes to bed where
Angustias tells her she knows Eulalia is
again TO become a mother. Don Pedro is
disturbed by the developments in the char
acter of the priests and breads Serra's dis
appointment in them. Limping from mis-.
sion to mission. Father Sierra has vision of
st. Francis and tells his sanity master that
he will be ready to join him when Santa
Barbara Mission is founded. Meanwhile
Eulalia finds there is conflict between
Sierra and Don Pedro and plans to use the
priest as an ally. After a fattering well
come at Monterey, Eulalia is bitterly dis
appointed in the preside. Going to Father
Serra's mission for mass, Don Pedro has an
argument with the priest. who accuses him
of betraying a trust because of the rascally
caliber of the two priests. Sierra calls in
response to a message from Eulalia.

and wished to speak to me about it.
I was worried, and hard put to wait
patiently. So I stepped outside the
cell, and met an Indian. You know
him, Estevarico."
Fray Mariana stretched himself
on his cot.
Indeed I do. He is the sweet ne
ophyte from whom I won this nice
blanket at gambling. Go on"
''The very one. So I whispered
to him, and plotted little plot. He
was to steal the fathers spectacles.
Steal them, you understand, so that
Fray Junipero could see to write
no more letters! Wasn't that beau
tiful plot?"
The other grunted a grudging adj
miration. "But what is he to get
for doing that" he asked suspi-
ciously.
"Oh, am to give his blanket back
to him, the one you won. But
then :"
"You are! Just try :"
"Ah, be quiet. I said I would.
That is all. So in a moment he
slipped into the cell and watched
the father writing. Now of course
you understand the father treats all
those louse-ridden Indians like ia
vorite sons, SO when he saw this
one standing there, he took off his
spectacles and asked him what he
wished"
"The Indian expressed a great
curiosity about the spectacles. What
are they?' he asked, and do you
see God through them?' And then

"Well, the father said yes, I sup
pose. Continue"
eyes, he said he saw God every
where, with the glasses or without"
He stopped a moment thoughtfully.
what if he does see God?" he
asked abruptly with little shiver.
Don't be a superstitious baby"
the other snarled. "Get on with
your story"
"Then the Indian said, I want to
see God! Oh, it was wonderful,
Brother, so cute, so sly, just like a
spoiled child! So he snatched up
the spectacles and put them over
his nose. He began to leap and
Dance" The friar began illustrating
his story. Cup and down. thus,
with the spectacles hanging from
his greasy ears, fiinging his hands
about and shouting, I see God! I
see God!' He circled around and
around until he reached the door,
then he scrambled out, still shout
ing, and was gone in a trice!"
"And what did the father do?''
"He ran to the door in a panic,
calling Estevanico back. And when
he saw he had gone, he shook his
head and said, Poor little one, he
doesn't know he has taken his IA
theirs eyes,
