able for charges than in the CORE
spending 1888 period.
Under the roads plan, total capi-
talization would be S455, ,613 1888,

'leftist' Attack on
Private Utilities
Muy Refers to Cormody
Blost os Strangely
Like LiIienthuI's
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative May, Democrat, of
Kentucky said in a statement last
night that "leftist" administration
offcials were preparing a new at
tack against private electric utilities
Referring to an address by John
M. Carmody, Federal works admins
traitor, at the start of work yesterday
on the Santee-Cooper project in
South Carolina, Representative May
said:
"Mr. Carmody's blast against pri-
vate enterprise in the utility indus
try. coming on Monday after q
strangely similar attack on the same
industry by David e. Lilienthal, T.
v. A. power director, on Saturday
sounds Like renewal of the Socialist
warfare on this industry.
Without doubt, it is the opening
gun of a propaganda barrage to
pave the way for the real attack:
Promotion of the proposed National
Power Policy Committee grid sys-
tenn"
Carmody Urges Cheap Power.
In his address at Pinopolis, S. c.,
Mr.. Carmody told his audience to be
on guard against efforts to scuttle
the 100000 Santee Cooper power
and navigation project.
The fight, he said, would be
brought to you in every shape and
form-in the name of the wild
birds and the hardwood trees; In
the name of conservation, States
rights and constitutional law. But
be not deceived. The central pur-
pose is to deprive South Carolina OF
cheap power"
Representative May said Mr.. Car
modys dedication to the cause OF
cheap power = omitted from the
list OF opponents of this fantastic
power scheme the millions of Amer
ican coal miners and other workers
now dependent upon a dwindling
and stranded coal and railroad in
dustry for their bread"
Hits Conservation Disguise"
He added that advocates of such
projects conducted their campaigns
under the shabby disguise" of con-
servation Of natural resources and
national defense.
ITO hide behind the Stars and
Stripes as disguise to accomplish
a wholly un-American objective" he
continued, "is travesty on the de-
mocracy to which these leftists give
such loud lip service"
Calling Mr.. Carmody and Mr.
Lilienthal the leaders of "a wreckine
gang" Representative May said he
wanted to know when the Govern
ment "in control of my party" was
going to replace them with a con
struction crew"
However, he said, Mr.. Carmody
had most likely made a valuable
contribution to the public welfare
by coming out in the open in ad.

Frederick, Md, to sing in a special
broadcast from Station WIND.
"You see, I'm too young to sing
on the radio in Washington" Cath
crime explained, 80 I persuaded
mother to take me to Frederick for
an addition. The manager of the
station not only put me on the
Mothers Day program, but invited
me to broadcast once a week.
For while my program was on
Sundays, at 6:15 pm, but now it's
on Fridays, at Ills am. It's more
than 100 miles for the round trip
over so miles each way-and I don't
get paid for my singing, but the
opportunity is well worth the
trouble"
When school reopens in Septem-
Der, Catherine will be in the second
year of high school at st. Marys
Academy, Alexandria. She has been
studying voice for three years at ST.
Mary's under Sister Rose Anthony
Previously, she took private lessons
and she also has studied dramatics
when I was in the fifth grade"
Catherine said, mother promised
me could take singing lessons if I
passed. I take piano lessons, too,
and I want to get harp next. I
love music in all forms, but my am
bition is to become a professional
singer-a dramatic soprano"
