IVA To Face Major Test
Before Hostile CONGRESS

TENNESSEE VALLEY authority,
4 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 a 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 it's battles in
friendly Democratic congress. The
present congress, however, has
definitely shown it's 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 it's 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
manufa cture of fertilizer. They even
concede the advantag es 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 it's 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 for 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 it's board of directors has asked
for an appropriation to build a
new steam generating plant and
the private utility lobbyists are
flocking here to stop it.
This congress has used the power
Of appropriations before to cripple or
kill projects previously authorized

some days ago in these columns,
that this offensive will be press
ed. For there is increasing evil
dence that Moscow sees little fur
Their profit in the cold war. Thus,
while the offers so far made have
had a distinct odorof propa-
ganda. there is reason to believe
that behind them lies som e
readiness of the X r e m i n to
change policy.
How far that readiness goes it
would be dangerous to predict.
Certainly, the American people
should not assume such a reversal
of Russian policy as would cause
them to demobilize their own eco
nomic, military, and political
measures to resist the expansion
of tyranny, Any appearance of a
new softness in Moscow-such as
the discontinuance of outrageous
radio attacks on America-may
only be designed to produce soft
ness in the democracies. And
plainly there are limits to bilat-
eral discussions.
Manifestly, it will take a high
er peace" bid out of Moscow to
win much response in Washing
ton. But sooner or la t er the
State Department must deal with
the impression that Russia is off
ering peace and the Unit e d
States is refusing even to talk.
Positive action is called for. Why
not seize the initiative with an in
vitation to Mr.. Stain to come to
Washing? Or why not at least
ask Moscow to name h e things

Decline in Wool

Domestic shorn wool production
reached a peak of 1888 million pounds
in 1912 Since then, wool production
and the numbers of stock sheep on
farms and ranches have declined
continuously to a level now "a per
cent below 1912. The number of
stock sheep at the first of this year
was the lowest in a record that goes
back to 1867. Declines have occurred
in all parts of the country.

PEACE OFFENSIVE

Moscow's campaign for peace
with the United States IS really
rolling. Marshal Stalin's state
ment on Henry Wallace's open
letter p u Russia's ostensible
effort to end the cold war into
high gear.
We say "ostensible" because
so far this peace offensive h a s
been carried on by the Kremlin
with more attention to its propa-
ganda effects than to its peace
effects. Foreign Minister Molo-
TOYS use of his correspondence
with Ambassador S m h was
more than diplomatic bad man.
ners: it was a trick designed to
put the S a e Department in a
hole. Now Mr.. Stain has made
a m o5lique approach to a
settlement by p c k ing up the
Communist-supported Mr.. Wal
lace's highly unofficial proposals
as "a good and fruitful basis"
for agreement.
This is not the way to come
effectively to grips with Russian
American differences. There are
plenty of ways to do that. One
would be to approach the United
States directly and frankly with
a proposition for a general settle
ment. In case that seems to sur
render too much of the Russian
bargaining position, an approach
could be made through a third
power. Still another method
would be to begin to compromise
specific issues n o W in contro-
versy. Russia has done none Of
these things.
To the h in that Moscow is
ready to talk of a general settle
ment, Washington so far simply
says, NO" There could be a
number Of reasons for this. One
is Russia's apparent greater in
terest in propaganda t h n in
peace. Another must be the un-
happy experience that democratic
diplomats have had in trying to
reach agreements wi t h the
Russians in the last three years,
plus the failure to k p agree
ments once reached. Another
reason oul d be a conviction in
Washington that until a better
balance of actual power is re-
stored, particularly in Europe,
any negotiations with Russia will
merely end in crystallizing Sow
let advantages.
But manifestly mo" will not
suffice long as an answer to
Russia's peace offensive. And it
now appears, as was predicted

General Chairman James A.

area yachtsmen to join the regatta
association under q new member
ship setup and thus assure financial
success Of the big marine show next
month.
The association is offering q
special yachting membership for
$40 q year, open to members Of
yacht clubs and other boating
groups.
1.-THE backbone Of the regatta is
financing" the 35-year-old regatta
ofiicial declared. "The regatta Is a
civic activity and one OF its primary
functions is to encourage interest
In recreational boating and i'm
provement of the water front.
Your membership viii help US
reach these objectives."
The association will continue its
regular membership costing $25 a
year, Councillor said.
The regatta will cover nearly four
weeks, starting with rowing races
September 6 and winding up the
week end of September 25-26 with
outboard and inboard races, includ-
ing three or more heats for Gold
Cup boats competing for the Presi-
dents Cup.

having seen a contest of this sort
would feel the same way, it is a
gruelling sort of affair. Not only
are these big fish wary and hard to
get to take the bait, but when one
does hook one of them, 1t is like
tieing onto the Congressional Linz
tied headed for New York. Far more
fish are lost than boated, and broken
tackle is common. Camp lost a
beautiful fish which broke a new
line, and the same happened to
McDonough. We witnessed both mis-
haps. 1t is a man's-sized sport, re-
quiring strength, skill, patience and
tenacity-also strong stomach. 1t
Is two days since we came ashore
and we can still feel the roll of the

This has been a fine experience
for your landlubber scribe. The
companionship and friendly rivalry
and the sportsmanship evinced by
these big-game fishermen give one
a great lift. We never will forget
the mornings when we laid off the
Cuckolds, rolling and tossing in the
ground swells and tide rips, with
the tuna fishing feet around us,
dimly visible in the fog, waiting our
signal.
We always will remember the
crossfire of repartee and friendly
sarcasm traded between anglers
many Of whom We could not even
see for fog but whose voices were
easily recognizable. Nor will we for
get the sight of the feet offshore
in the Outer Gulley-the sight OF
the big fish as they surfaced-the
thrill of seeing the angler set the
hook, and the desperate activity
during the first few minutes of the
struggle. Also we always will re-
member the kindly hospitality of
these good Maine folks who enter
tanned us so royalty. We'd like to
pay tribute here to Dick Reed and
Wayne Buxton of Names Sea and
Shore Fisheries Commission and b
Marshall Campbell and the members
Of the Boothbay Harbor Tuna Club.

Special Dispofeh TO The Stor

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-With the
handsome Harwood's Trophy and
more than $4,000 in cash prizes at
stake. from so to rs motorboat speed
merchants are expected to match
their wits and tempt their fate in
the annual 28-mile Race Around
Manhattan Island on September IL.
Entries received to date by the
American Inboard Association, spon-
sor Of the race, indicate that a pre-
ponderance Of hydroplanes will make
the field even more solid than last
year. According to Lesion w. Cloak,
president Of the ALA, owners of 10
boats in the 1856 and 225-cubic- inch
classes and the Seven Litre class
are among the dozen contestants
heard from to date.
First entry received at racing
headquarters was that of David
Gerli, gentleman farmer from
Smithtown, L. l., who campaigned
with racing runabouts before the
war. Geri still holds one-mile and
competition records in Glass K rae
ing runabouts and this year will
pilot a Glass r service runabout.
Lou Fageol, the engine builder
from Kent, Ohio, has entered his
Seven Litre class So Long, which at
this stage is the most potent threat
in the race. So Long has competed
in Gold Cup class races at Red
Bank and Detroit, as well as In
Canada, and has been one of the
most consistent performers in the
sport.
The four 135-cubic-inch class
craft entered will be raced by Lou
Eppel, Montclair, N. j.; Walter
Haberman, Riverhead, L. l.; Albert
Stolte, Ferndale, Mich; and Bill
Luby, Troy, N. Y. ...
Frank DuBeshter of Jamaica, L. I.
has entered his 225-cubic inch class
craft Baby, formerly owned by ex-
Gold Cup champ Zalmon Simmons.

Moses Driving New
Glass { HydropIane
In Red Bank Races
by Malcolm Lomborne, JF.

Hudson Moses, Washington out
board driver, formerly in the run
about class, races his first sanctioned
regatta tomorrow with new Glass
c outboard hydroplane job in one
of the East's biggest speedboat
shows-the National Sweepstakes
Regatta at Red Bank, N. j.
He will be Joined by three other
local outboard racers-Ike Hale,
Dean Wooster and Maize Rogers
and a 135-cubic-inch hydroplane
ace, Joe Palmer.
In addition, several Presidents
Cup Regatta officials, including Eric
Greenleaf and Bill Rogers, will be on
hand either as observers or race
officials.
Palmer will compete with some of
the best 135-class talent in the busi-
ness in a two-heat race named in
honor of the late Jack Cooper Of
Kansas City, who died last week
from injuries received early this
month in a spill at Picton, Ontario,
Cooper was driving 135-hydroplane
at the time.
Gold Cup Lineup Uncertain.
The big show, however, will re-
volve around the Gold Cup boats
which compete for the Judge Emil
Auerbach Trohpy, the National
Sweepstakes Trophy and the Red
Bank Gold Cup.
Because you can't count on Gold
Cup until it hits the starting line,
there is no telling how many will
show up on the North Shrewsbury
River tomorrow afternoon and Sun
day.
At this point, it looks as though
Lombardo'S Tempo vi of Freeport,
L. l., which Jared poorly at Cam
bridge, Md, last week, but is in the
running again; Harry Lynn's brand
new Lahaia of Lake Hopatcong,
N. j., winner of the Cambridge Gold
Cup, and Albin Fallons Miss Great
Lakes of Detroit, will be on the line.
There's talk, too, of at least two
litter boats, Lou Fageols So Long
of Kent, Ohio, and Wilfred Stroh's
Nuts and Bolts of Detroit. They
were likewise slated to race at Cam
bridge, but never showed.
Morlan Visel's Hurricane VI, of Los
Angeles, another Gold Cup boat, still
is among the missing this week, but
may show up at Red Bank:
Moses Names Boat Daphne III.
Getting back to Moses new out
board, Hudson decided to step up to
the faster company of hydroplanes
because he was looking for better
competition. With Hale in this class,
Moses couldn't ask for more.
The new boat is named Miss
Daphne III, after Mrs. Moses. Hud-
son is using the same engine as in
his Class c runabout Miss Daphne
II. The hull is by Frank Schmutz
Of Merchantsville, N. j., an ace driver
in his own right.
Moses placed second two weeks
ago at a regatta at Chester, Pa, and
the same at Irvington, Va, last week.
Both were unsanctioned races. At
the latter, a wild youth in an out
board drove right over the new
Moses racer while it was tied up at
the pits and damaged the port bow.
Repairs have been made and the
boat will be ready for tomorrow's
first heat at l pm.
Both Moses and Hale plan to COM
pete in the Eastern Division out

drivers September 4 and 5 at Aga
wam, Mass. II they qualify. they

Tenn, September 18 and 10.
