IVA:
Control Sought

Carrying his bitter feud with
Tennessee Valley Authority Chair
man David E. Lilienthal to the SEN
ate floor, Sen. Kenneth Mcclellan
(Tenn.) led in the move to amend
the 8l2 billion dollar appropriation
bill for independent offices so as to
compel IVA to TURF all Of its reve-
nues over to the treasury and op-
crate only on monies allocated to it
by congress.
Showing that IVA netted almost
81 million dollars from power opera
tons for the l0-year period ended
June 80. l943, Mcclellan claimed that
IVA had favored the Aluminium
Company Of America with lower
rates than the Reynolds Metal COM
pany. and Lilienthal had used IVA
funds for advertising.
Taking another slap at govern
ment bureaus. Senator Russell (Ga.)
introduced legislation under which
all semipermanent federal agencies
created by the President would have
to go directly to congress for funds
if remaining in existence after n

GREAT BRITAIN:
Coal Strikes

! Laying oJwn their tools in dissat-
isfaction over recent national wage
adjustments which failed to take ac-
count of their work in excessive dust
and water, an estimated $1,000
Welsh coal miners walked out Of 156
pits and were joined by thousands
in other English and Scottish fields
as the government pondered taking
owe the properties.
Formerly, the Welsh were paid
a weekly bonus of ST. or more in
addition to their regular wage of
$18.07 for working under unfavor-
able conditions, but when the gov
eminent recently raised the mini
mum pay of all the nations miners
to $40, no adjustment was made in
their compensation.
With war industries, railroads and
special overseas shipping threat
ened, the government insisted the
men return to their jobs before it
moved to meet the Welshmen's de-
mands, and also strove to iron out
complaints of piece-workers that
the new minimum wages gave
straight-time miners producing less
equal compensation.
