KNOXVILLE, TENN.-Conviction
that there is no great merit in the
charges of David E. Lilienthal and
Harcourt A. Morgan that Arthur Z.
Morgan, deposed chairman of the
Tennessee Valley authority, attempt
ed to sabotage" the governments
case in lawsuit against the utilities,
or was "tampering" with witnesses
or seeking to bring about a decision
adverse to the government, is al
most general in the special congress
sional committee investigating the
IVA.
Conviction that Arthur E. Nor
gan's charges against Lilienthal and
Harcourt Morgan are not very hot
is also apparent from conversations
with committee members.
Specifically, the committee does
think the authority took very little
pains to protect the federal treasury
when it was paying $500, 900 for $50
acres of phosphate land which
had been bought a short time before
for $125,000 This was one of Nor
gan's points of attack.

At present. although the rules have
not yet been decided on, it seems
likely that this contest will be in the
form of a QUESTIONABLE based on

Booklets containing rules will be

When it comes to Morgan's
charge that Lilienthal and Harcourt
Mogan virtually ignored him,
sought to hamstring him in various
ways, and held meetings with pre-
arranged programs Of which he was
ignorant, the committee members
admit privately that Arthur E. Nor
gan himself is the best witness for
the other two directors on that.
After listening to A. E. Morgan at
length many of the committee men,
bers felt that they would have done
almost anything in reason to avoid
the long drawn-out discussions that
would inevitably have resulted had
no way been discovered to short cir
cult the chairman.
In fact, after listening to all three
directors at tedious length, most
committee members find it in their
hearts to sympathize with all of
them for having to put up with the
others, and to understand why the
simple solution of allocating the
functions so that there need be few
er discussions in the board itself
was adopted.
1t was this separation of the func-
tions of the IVA into three almost
water tight compartments, of
course, which led to much of the
trouble Arthur E. Morgan had
picked the other two directors. He
was the first named, he was the
chairman, and he had recommend
ed the other two to the President.
So he felt keen sense of respon-
sibility.
Further, he is very meticulous
person. He does not yes any
body who wants to agree with him.
He does not like to make decisions
until he has studied a question for
days, talked about it for weeks, and
called in three or four outside
groups OF experts. He is that sort
OF person. Magnificent for inquiry
on some question Of great impor-
lance but dubious soundness, A. e.
Morgan could easily become very
tiresome as an associate.
So the committee is inclined to
laugh off most of the charges, pro
and con.
"A strong disposition is developing
among members of the congression-
al investigating committee to rec
ommend that control Of the project,
in the future, be placed in the hands
of one man instead of three-man
board.
There is also a disposition to rec
ommend that in any future organi-
cations Of similar type which may
be set up the same idea of one-man
control be followed.
In recent questions Representa-
tive Charles A. Wolverton Of New
Jersey called the attention of Lilien-
thai to the success which attended
this idea when Gen. George w.
Goethals was building the Panama
canal. Until he was given supreme
command, made virtually a GEAR,
by Theodore Roosevelt, then Presi-
dent, the Panama job was a mess.

Lilienthal did not agree with this
suggestion-on the stand. But COM
mittee members took his answers
with grain of salt. Obviously it
would be in poor taste for Lilienthal

like his telling a congressional COM

| I have been wondering how could
ever get back to writing after the
great loss our family has suffered,
the loss OF our father. He wrote news
for the papers long before was born
and has kept writing ever since cali
remember. 1 particularly remember
some years ago when he wrote the
news of Route 5 under the heading of
ROUTE 5 ROUTINGS, think it was.
I am sure that some of you will re-
member reading news in that column.
Papa always liked to write. He
wrote to his friends as friend. He
wrote letters and cards OF comfort
and cheer to people in times OF trou-
BILE or sorrow. He wrote to people
he did not even know, when he learn
ed they were in trouble. Several years
ago when man near Oxford lost his
home, all his furniture, and two of
his children by fire, papa wrote
nice piece in the paper asking those
who could to help that man in finan
cial way. There was, a hearty re"
Spouse to his plea and request.
Some months ago young girl in
Virginia killed her own father. Papa
wrote her a letter. Among several
hundred cards he received last Christ
mas is one from that girl who was
at the time in one of the penal insti-
tutions in the State of Virginia. He
did not write such letters just for
curiosity, or just to be doing some
timing unusual, or just to be passing
away the time; but he wrote them all
for the good that he might do and
did do.
Looking down at his silent form the
other day, Mrs. Will Brummitt said.
HE wrote me such a sweet letter
when I was sick"
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Hester, of
Creedmoor, came by home the after
noon of the funeral If any man and
wife in the whole world have ever
suffered from sudden sorrow, they
have, as four of their daughters were
instantly killed by lightning over q.
year ago. So that afternoon Mrs,
Hester said to me, your father wrote
us such a comforting letter at the
time of our great sorrow"
Rev. w. D. Poe, pastor of the Hest
er and Enon Baptist churches, near
Oxford, said the following at the fun
crdl service:
st am here just to say word. just
to say this for lot of other people,
that he was a good man, and to ex-
press their warm appreciation of what
he meant to the public.
81 came to this county twelve years
ago. Mr.. Hunt was one of the first
to give me q warm welcome, and ii
was through him that I preached
several times in the Methodist church
(Oxford) and in this church (Salem).
So I have known him and have been
associated with him for a number of
years. have gone with him to jails
He was a religious man, a powerfully
religious man. He was religious with
all denominations and he was friend
~ with oil groups and races. He was
a regular attendant to our associa-
tions and he went around with all
groups and enjoyed that part of life.
We think of him in that way. He was
a good man, religious man in all
that way. So for myself, and all these
other friends, he was just good
man. ~

more eastern points defeated the plan

in which Negroes were involved the
