Anti Measure
Doomed AS House
Sticks TO It's Guns
Conqressmen From Ten
nessee VdlleY Denounce
The Amendments

Washington (FP)-The private feud
of Senator Kenneth Mckellar Cd,
Tenn against the Tennessee Valley
Authority and it's chairman, David +.
Lilienthal. was marked for a legisla-
tive death June ] when the House
voted to non-concur in the Senate's
amendments to the IVA appropriation
bill.
The House acted to maintain its
position against the Mcclellan amend
ments after it had voted down, 13S to
"a motion by Representative Richard
B. Wigglesworth OK, Mass.) to accept
them.
Each congressman from the Ten
nessee valley area took the floor to
denOunce the amendments and defend
IVA for its long and useful service TO
the nation, the ,wareffort and the
people of the south.
Under McKellar's plan, IVA would
have been required to place all of its
funds from all sources into the L. 5.
treasury each quarter. That would
mean that IVA would have to come to
congress to get money for repairs on
dams, electrical generators i'm its
power plants, lines, and equipment,
and ofrce the agency to come under
the political influence of congress.
The bill now goes back to the senate
where McKellar must give UP his
amendments or see the entire indie
pendent executive bureau, executive
Office and commission appropriation
bill fail Of passage and thus kill off a
great many agencies of the govern
ment, including the bureau of the bud
get, battle monuments commission,
civil service commission, federal com
municatiOns commission, public roads
commission, national housing agency.

of Naval and air warfare, with rela-
lively little serious ground action.
Quite naturally cur people have heard
much of naval and air forces.
Nevertheless" General McNair
continued, "our ground actions in every
theater have verified beyond doubt
that the Infantry still is the decisive
and indispensable arm. We must rule
the sea and air, but land victories
alone can bring peace, and only the
Infantry bears the brunt of war in
both hardships and losses
General McNair said that IF we
think this thing through, we all-bOth
at home and overseas-really are in
the fight to back up the Infantrymar.
We want him to advance and we want
to save him losses. There Is no other
sound formula for victory"
Turning to the contribution of Labor
and Industry to the Infantry General
McNair declared:
"rhe part of Labor and Industry in
this fight Is clear-weapOns, ammu
milton, signal equipment, transporta-
ton and many other vital items of
equipment and supplies t
"Our Infantry never has lacked
them and owes much to the home
front. May this fine support never
falter through the hard fighting yet
to come" s
General NJcNair said Infantry Day
should honor the Infantryman as "our
foremost man. He is our symbol 7Of
victory-our greatest war hero"

Labor And Industry Doing
Part To Produce Efficient
Fighting Force

Labor and industry have been doing
their part to make the American In
fantry highly efficient fighting force,
Lieutenant General Lesley J. McNair,
Commanding General of the Army
Ground Forces, said in connection with
nationwide Infantry Day observations
scheduled for June Is.
General McNair, i'm pointing out that
Labor and Industry are backing up
the Infantry by producing weapons,
equipment and upplies-declared that
the Infantry has never lacked these
items and "owes much to the home
front"
Phillip Murray, president of the
CIO, and William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
Joined in the tribute to the Infantry,
pledging the full support of their or
ganiza tiOns to see that the needed
equipment is turned out on time.
Il am glad to join with millions of
other Americans in paying tribute to
our hard-fghting Infantrymen who are
doing such a magnificent job in every
theater of war;" Mr.. Murray declared.
Mr. Green's statement follows:
Il am sure every member of the
American Federation of Labor joins
with me in paying well deserved
tribute to the Infantry on the occasion
of Infantry Day We are well aware
of the hardships and dangers which
the Infantrymen are facing on every
battlefront
II am proud that so many of these
men are members of the AFL and that
our members here at home had much
to do with producing the weapons,
munitions and other supplies which
our Infantrymcn are using so effec-
lively.
II want to assure them that every
thing possible will be done to see that
they get the materials they need dur
ing the grave days ahead"
Pointing out that the Continental
Army on June *, 1775-the date on
which General Washington assumed
cOmmand-was composed almost en-
tirely of Infantry, General McNair de-
clared that 80 far as the United
States is concerned, this war up to
now has been marked by long period
