Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated freSS.
Three Government auditors told
the Tennessee Valley Authority In
vestigating Committee today that
books of the Government power
agency failed to reflect all Govern
ment funds invested in T. v. A.
The trio. from the Office of the
controller general, answered a Sc
ries of questions. critical of T. v. A.
propounded by Representative VOL
verton, Republican. Of New Jersey.
Stuart B. Tulloss, who testified
yesterday that other Government
agencies had spent in the T. v. A.
area 10000 900 not listed on T. v.
AS books, vas aided by Francis
T. Matchett and william A. owen
in answering questions
Mr.. Owen said the War Depart
ment had turned over to T. v. A. In
1888 properties that cost some $780,
600 900. but no value was placed on
these on T. v. A. books until 1896.
The auditor said this gave T. v. A.
an advantage on computing its pow
er rates because it avoided expense
of depreciation on this property.
C. C. c. Work Not Listed.
When the auditors testified that
some OF the Government expense
not listed on T. V. A. books included
C. C. c. work. Francis Biddle. COM
mittee counsel. asked if planting
of trees should be included in T. V.
A. power costs?"
We'll, T. V. A. officials say plant
ed trees and grass keep silt from
reservoirs that produce power" Mr..
Matchett replied.
Mr.. Biddle contended the c. c. c.
and some other projects in the T.
v. A. area were part Of general pro-
grams that would have been car
ried out regardless of T. " A.
If they are going to compete
down there, they ought to reflect all
COSTS" Mr.. Owen said.
Mr.. Biddle agreed, but said 1t
would be difficult to separate the
cost of general programs Of other
agencies from direct or indirect
benefits to T. V. A.
Calls for Full Story.
Representative Mead, Democrat,
of New York, acting as chairman,
complained that a long series of
questions asked Mr.. Tulloss by Rep
resentative Wolverton had presented
only part of a picture"
LAS a member of this committee,
I'm not ready to decide that T. v. A.
reports are improper or agree there
was any jugglery OF accounts" Rep
resentative Mead said. In all hon.
esty we should 60 the full way and
hear all the facts"
Representative Wolverton said he
intended to prove that T. v. A. re-
ports to Congress varied from actual
figures on T. v. A.
Senator Schwartz, Democrat, of
Wyoming broke in to say Mr.. VOL
verton's question implied there had
been "jugglery of accounts and in
tent to deceive"
I'm glad the Senator used that
word-jugglery," Mr.. Wolverton re-
piled. Before I get through today
it's my intent to prove that has been
the very thing done-jugglery in
reports to Congress.
Senator Schwartz replied that a
member of the investigating COM

He issued a statement of greeting

"At this focal point of inter-
American communications by sea

be impressed by the natural oppor-

when we return from Lima I
am sure that all of us will have a
stronger faith in the development
of an international order in this

FormoIity
BY the Associated Press.

PRAGUE, Nov. 30.-Shrunken
Czechosolavakia today elected as
the republics third president DR..
Emil Hacha. 66-year-old president
of the Supreme Court Administra-
ton and a newcomer in politics.
He was the only candidate and
his election by the national as
sembly was merely a formality. His
term is seven years. He was given
272 votes of the 312 cast. Eight
members of the German National
party refused to participate in the
election. Communist deputies and
senators handed in blank ballots.
Rudolf Beren, a deputy and
Agrarian party leader who was for
mer President Eduard Benes' op-
ponent for 20 years, will be the new
premier. He was expected to pur-
sue completely pro-German
course.
Diplomats Present.
The entire diplomatic corps, with
the exception of the German min
lister, who was represented by his
legation counsellor, witnessed the
election. When the result was an
nounced the chairman interrupted
the session and asked Premier Jan
Syrovy to inform DR.. Hacha Of the
election.
When the session resumed, the
new president entered parliament
and took an oath of loyalty to the
constitution after Gen. Syrovy in
an address referred to recent de-
velopments the cession of parts
of Czechoslovakia to Germany
Hungary and Poland) which he said
overwhelmed the nation with a
force seldom encountered in the
history of any nation.
The late Thomas G. Masaryk was
first President of the republic. DR..
Eduard Benes, Masaryk's protege,
who succeeded him, resigned after
the Munich cession of Sudetenland
to Germany.
Little Known to Public.
The gray-haired jurist is virtually
unknown to the general public, for.
though he has high reputation
in Prague legal circles. he never
before has taken part in politics.
Hacha, who is Roman Catholic,
was born at Sviny, Bohemia, August
7, 1872.
He took an important part in
drafting the constitution for the
Legislature of the Czechoslovak re-
public when it emerged from the
World War. For many years he
has represented Czechoslovakia on
the World Court at The Hague.
The new chief executive will be
known as the president of the
Czecho-Slovak Republic" a phrase
which officially hyphenates the name
of the nation to indicate the equal
ity of the Czechs and Slovaks.
