Canny Joe Martin, speaker of the
house, took the play away from the
White House when he argued John
Lewis into accepting Sen. Styles
Bridges (Rep., N. H.) as a third
member of his pension board and
ended the coal strike. And the
speaker is taking bows, thank you.
This column reminded you months
ago not to sell Joe Martin short as
a presidential candidate.
But with speaker Martin getting
the applause, it was the admins
tration's move to cite Lewis for
contempt that really made him
move. For Lewis actually got less
for his miners out of Senator Bridges
on the pension plan than was offered
by Thomas E. Murray, the neutral
member of the board who resigned.
He cost his miners four weeks
work at S75 a week, a total of 100
million dollars; he put them in debt
to company stores for six months;
he denuded the nations coal stock
piles, and he made thousands of
other workers jobless.

Many women say that it's not as

for little girls, but have you seen
how mannish clothing for the latter
can be made? It's fun to make,

If you have old corduroy drapes or

IN WASHINGTON S~
IVA Target Of Congress
IN WASHINGTON


~
TENNESSEE VALLEY authority,
= celebrating its 18th anniversary
this month as the successful model
for public power development along
with its other major accomplish
ments of flood control, navigation
and soil conservation, is facing for
the first time a fight for its very
life at the hands of hostile con-
gress.
Throughout the Is years of its
existence, while IVA has had many
powerful enemies in congress such as
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee, it
always has won its battles in a
friendly Democratic congress. The
present congress, however, has
definitely shown its hostility toward
IVA and its friendliness for the pri-
vate power lobby in numerous ways
and the senate bill now before that
body is being viewed with favor by
the senate public works committee.
The measure would cut the heart
out of the iva organic law by
eliminating its autonomous power,
placing it on the same basis as any
other governmental agency and
forcing it to come before congress
for direct appropriations. This
would eliminate the sO-called home
rule feature of IVA and make of it
just another governmental agency
with central authority here in
Washington.
The private power lobby has done
an about-face in its method of op-
position to IVA. Heretofore the
private power lobbyists have con-
tended that the whole idea of IVA
was socialistic and wrong, that the
entire conception of regional author
tiles was contrary to the American
way of life. Now, however, they
readily concede the beneficial job
IVA has done with flood control, soil
conservation, soil erosion and the
manufacture of fertilizer. They even
concede the advantages derived from
hydro-electric power as by-product
of flood control.
But they point out that when IVA
goes in for steam generating plants
to increase its electrical production,
it is in the steam generating bust
ness, an invasion of private enter
prise.
The cry is for more power from
iva. States in the iva region
are advertising fer more industry
and getting it because of cheap
power. The President has asked
iva to increase its electrical out
put for the national defense, and
so its board of directors has asked
for an appropriation to build
new steam generating plant and
the private utility lobbyists are
flocling here to stop it.
This congress has used the power
of appropriations before to cripple or
kill projects previously authorized
by congress. 1t has been a ruse
frequently employed by chairman
Taber of the house appropriations
committee. And the utility lobbyists,
not overlooking that fact, are count
ing on it to defeat the appropriation
for the new steam generating plant
proposed at New Johnsonville, Tenn.
If this congress slashes the heart
out of the IVA law and cripples its
operations through Withholding ap-
preparations, then IVA is virtually
dead.

Treasury's security lean drive
fer savings bonds has a twO-fold
aim: To draw off purchasing
power and to relieve the up
pressure on prices. Then again,
many people who made regular
bond purchases during the war
have gotten out of the thrift habit,
so treasury has brought back the
payroll savings plan to make
systematic bond purchases easier.

brick brac and keep them excess
sively simple.
Denim usually gets pretty hard
wear if Dad or older brother has
used it, so if you're making overalls
or pants from that material it's
good idea to buy it new.
You can, however, use old white
shirts or sheets or pillow cases for
making shirts. Use a pattern and
don't attempt to cut down to size
using the old shirt.
Woolens can be used for making
pants provided you refreshen the
material, clean and rip it open, then
recut, using pattern suitable TO the
child.

Clothes for TOddlers
Should Be Sturdy

Although you may sew very
fine seam by hand, it's good idea
to plan to use a sewing machine
when you make things for young
sters. Their clothing takes hard
wear and tear as well as frequent
laundering, and machine stitching is
the only means by which the cloth
ing can be made to stand up.
When making boys clothing, use
flat fell seams as this will enable
you to give it more tailored look.
It's a good idea to stitch pockets
twice on clothes that will receive
the really hard wear and launder-
ing, such as denim overalls.
Decorative patches are used for
overalls on both boys and girls
clothing, particularly at the knees.
Select something really decorative
such as bunny, dog or kitten face
and you'll find the knees will not
wear out so quickly.
Don't make clothing too large be-
cause children's growing discour-
ages you. They won't be comfort
able. You can, however, make big
hens on girls dresses and let out
cuffs for the pants and overalls.
The older the child and the more
strenuous his activity, the sturdier
the fabric selected for him or her
should be. If you have boy who
engages in sports or plays out of
doors great deal, choose the most
durable of materials for his cloth
ing.

free yesterday after lying aground
II hours near Sandy Point.
Five passengers who spent all

was injured, but ferry operations
were halted for about an hour and
a half late Saturday while flremens
hoses were strung across the ferry
slip.

Saturday night about 300 yards
north of the channel leading to
the Sandy Point ferry slip. 1t was
on the westbound trip across the
Chesapeake Bay from Matapeake.
The passengers were taken ashore
early yesterday by a tug OF the
Tidewater Construction Co., which
had been working on the ferry slip.
Several hours later, when the tide
rose, the ferry Herbert r. O'Conor
freed the grounded vessel.
The John M. Dennis ran aground
not far from where the Herbert r.
O'Conor was grounded overnight on
the coolest night of last winter with
125 passengers aboard.

The South Carolina Governor,

viously this is due to the greater
value of a popular vote in the
South since electoral votes are al
located chiefly on population and
not on the number of people who
exercise the franchise.
But if the new amendment led to
more voters in the South, then this
disparity would tend to disappear.
And the amendments supporters
feel it would lead to more voters
because the greatest number of
votes in relation to population now
are cast in States where the compe-
tition and rivalry is the greatest.
With such rivalry much the same in
each State under the new amend
ment, they feel the votes cast would
be pretty much in the same pro-
