Electric Power
Private Company Executives Are Optimistic in Belief
Thot Governments SocioIstic Trend VIII Be Halted

The next time you flick an
electric light switch, take a
second look at it. Much Of
America is there.
It represents some Of the
mightieSt engineering featS in
human history, the physical
progress of the last so years,
the courage and imagination
of statesmen, builders and
businessmen.
More important today, it is
the center of a deep internal
conflict in America, the vast
battle between business and
Government over the develop
ment and disposition Of elec-
trio power.
Areas of Concern
The whole Of America is di-
rectly concerned in the strug-
gle, but the areas Of most con-
centrated concern could be-
Millions of people in the
Tennessee, Missouri and CO.
lumbia River valleys and in
dustries - especially electro
chemical and electro-metal-
lurgical-that have gone there.
Farmers, ranchers and
fruit growers in the West and
Southwest, where vast recla-
nation projects have been
built.
The "a million farms
served by co-operatives of the
Rural Electrif1cation Admins
tration (REA) and the other
2 million-plus that may buy
electricity from private COM
panieS.
Hundreds Of cities and
towns which operate their own
electric power systems.
The electric industry,
which put $40 billion into new
facilities in the five years i'm
mediately after World War II.
The 8 million people who
own stocks in electric utilities.
and the uncounted number
who hold bonds.
The fields of argument be-
tween proponents of public
and private power range from
broad theology to highly tech
nical details and the econom- :
les Of marketing. Summar-
lied, however, they fall into
a few main areas.
Investor owned companies
contend that:
l. The Federal power pro-
gram is a first step toward
socialism in America. It orig
inally was disguised as water
conservation and flood con-
troll, with hydro-electric power
as a by-product. Later, it
emerged as a full-f1edged ef-
fort to nationalize the whole
electric industry.

A surface view of the Com

some wiShful thinking about

noted that the Soviet state,

The Karl Mundts
Hosts at Brunch
Y Mr.. and Mrs. Malcolm Motheson

no special reason for the party
just a gathering Of friends.
This midday event however,
took place in the air r-conditioned
confines of the North Room at
the Mayf1ower Hotel, and come
what may, nothing could dampen
the jovial spirits of the guests.
The host was undoubtedly Ques-
toned by some playing detective
about the threats on his life.
The Senator was quoted Sat-
urday, following an interview, as
saying his own life had been
threatened at least 10 times this
year but thought most of the
threats, signed with fictitious
names, came from "screwballS."
He heads the subcommittee look
ing into the alleged Communist
plot to kill Senator Joseph Mac
Carthy.
Wears Blue
Mrs. Mundt received her
guests, wearing a peacock blue
shantung dress. She said that
she and the Senator plan to go
home to South Dakota when
Congress receSSes.
Among those accepting were
Senator and Mrs. Robert A. Taft.

jammed with three times that
number and humanity is over
flowing from every stick of

inch of floor space.

undaunted since their lovely
place down on Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway could easily
accommodate their so guests
either indoors or out.

honor of their granddaughter,
Miss Julie Matheson Arnold, who
is just home from her freshman
year at Vassar. The buffet supper
stared at Z and their was dancing
later to music by Sidney and his
orchestra. Although the honoree
will not be year older officially
until Friday. this was in a way
a birthday celebration.

granddaughter chose short eve
ming dresses for the occasion.

silk print and Miss Arnold was in
white and blue organdy.
