an invitation to testify about Holly

"Ill bare everything-if the COM

roguishly remarked Miss Lee at the
State capital, where she is appear
ing at theater.
Representative Harold Mosier,
Democrat, of Ohio, member of the
committee investigating un-Ameri-

by telephone to come to Cleveland
by plane for an interview concern
ing a movie capital campaign for
funds for the Spanish government

Miss Lee recalled that another

WiI|kie Sees I. VA.
Policies as Threat {
To Utilities
Fears Conditions Will
Become as Bad as
In Rail Industry
p the Associated Press.

ey the Associated Press.
Wendell L. Willkie, president of
Commonwealth e. Southern Corp,
predicted today that the utilities
soon would be in "as bad shape as the
railroads" if present administration
power policies are continued.
The policies of T. V. A. and p.
w. A., he said, have destroyed the
market for utility financing, pre-
venting needed expansion.
Mr.. Willkie, whose company oper-
ates numerous utilities in the Ten
nessee Valley Authority area, pre-
dicted, too, that the utilities would
spend 100000 at most next year
on the expansion program proposed
as a part of the national defense
program.
Administration Spokesmen, who
conferred with utility leaders on the
program several weeks ago, re-
ported afterward that a $4,000, 900 900
expenditure was in prospect for the
next two years.
Creation of Board Urged.
In testimony yesterday before the
Congressional Committee Investi-
eating T. v. A., Mr.. Willkie sug-
gested that a permanent non-par-
tisan board be set up to fix a value
on properties of private utilities, If
the Governments present power
program is to be continued or ex-
tended.
Francis Biddle, committee coun-
sci, said Acting Controller General
Elliott would be the next witness
at hearings starting Monday.
There have been frequent clashes
between T. V. A. and the General
Accounting Office, under both Mr..
Elliott and former Controller Gen.
eral McCarl The investigating COM
mittee was instructed to determine
whether T. V. A. had interfered
with audits ordered by Congress.
Engineers to Be Called.
Mr.. Biddle said that when this
phase had been completed T. v. A.
engineers would be called.
Mr.. Willkie contended before the
committee yesterday it was impos-
sible to establish "yardstick" by
which the rates charged for T. V. A..
electric power could be compared
with those of privately owned utili-
ties.
Furthermore, he said, many Gov
ernment men" have arrived at that
opinion and some of them have told
him so.
Development of "yardstick" to
measure the fairness of private
utility rates has been one of the
principal announced purposes of the
T. V. A.
