IVA ARMS FACTORIES
CALLED FOR BY PLAN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. . April Is.
CUP)-Proponents of a Strong ma

the Tennessee Valley the greatest
center Of munitions manufacture in
u. S. history and to protect it with
an elaborate defense system, the
United Press learned tonight.
Army authorities have perfected
plans for defense of the valley, in
the center of eastern United States,
with a series Of Well-equipped
strategically-located airports, and
through reorganization and mod
ernizati0n of army posts, it was
revealed.
Rep. Dick Atkinson, D., Tenn,
believed a congressional inVestiga-
ton of Tennessee Valley authority
would result in President Roose-
velt and congress asking The au-
thority to proceed along military
lines, and predicted IVA would
begin manufacture of munitions
after the probe.
This region was selected for manu-
facture of munitions because of the
vast amount OF cheap electrical
power which IVA dams can gen.
crate and the abundance of raw
materials needed for making high
explosives, poison gases. smoke, and
other war weapons. These raw
materials are phosphate, limestone,
coal, and copper sulphate ores.
Government officials, who pre-
ferred that their identity not be
disclosed, said the army had con-
sidered many factors in plans for
Transforming the valley into a NUM-
tions manufacturing center and de
