Another of Mr.. Nehru's accusations was that the

special interests of Western powers in Asia.
Mr.. Nehru's attitude overooks the fact that Asian

not sell the books willingly. They
say they are forced into the bust

Swarm OF Bees
Puts Govt I'm
Honey Business

OAK RIDGE. Tenn. R-Heard
the one about the swarm Of bees
that chain-reacted into an old lock-
er on an Oak Ridge construction
project and how they put the
government in the honey business
Al least, that's the story told
oday by Knoxville Journal eolum-
mist Vic Weals, who says another
fellow told him. He doesn't know
where the other guy got il. but that
doesn't seem 20 ne reason 10 hold
down a good story.
Seems that as the bees began
storing up honey for the winter
on this atomic construction job,
one of the construction workers.
who also kept bees-kept his eye
on these.
One day, he brought tub with
him, and collected about so pounds
of honey. then put the bees into
a hive and planned 10 take the
whole works with him. He hadn't
reckoned with the materials check.
er, though-Something Of a prac-
teal joker.
Got a requisition?" asked the
checker.
"No. Do need a requisition!"
asked the beekeeper.
well, my orders are that no
government property can be taken
out Of here without a requiSition."
the checker replied.
''But this isn't government prop
erty." protested the heekeeper.
These bees just flew in here and
settled"
True But their nest is attached
TO government property. and the
honey Is attached to government
| property. Therefore. the bees and
the honey are obviously govern
ment property. and cannot be re.
moved without a requiSition." said
the checker.
"well. how do I get 3 requlsi.
tom" asked the beekeeper.
"I'll have to call the top man."
said the checker.
The top man ruled that II the
bees we're 10 fly out of the yard
of their own accord, then q requisi-
ton wouldn't be necessary.
THAT won't get me any honey,
and I'm not going 10 stand around
and wait for the bees 10 fly out"
said the desperate beekeeper.
'In that case. said the top man,
"I'll put through a requisition right
away" II went through official
channels and was approved, and
the beekeeper got both the bees
and the honey.
AZ least, that's the story.

The World
Today

WASHINGTON R-This is a
quick rundown on why the Dixon
Yates contract is in such bitter
dispute.
The IVA, the Tennessee Valley
Authority, which was created early
in President RooseSelt's New Deal.
among other things pumps power
to consumers in a huge Southern
area.
Roosevelt called il q ''yardstick"
to show what electric power cos;s
should be. Private utility COM
panies protested it was unfair 70
compare their costs with those Of
a government backed agency.
The argument over public VS..
private power has never died:
Should the government get deeper
into the power field through big
ger IVA or should IVA be elm
mated, or at least limited, in favor
of private power companies?
iva now has an added drain on
it because Of the power it supplies
to atomic energy plants. And IVA
officials wanted new power plants
started in 1855 to meet needs in
1857.
iva could build and own them
or a private company could do
that and sell power to IVA. In
either case the taxpayers would
foot the bill since Congress would
have to vote the money.
President Eisenhower LET his
feelings about IVA be known in
June 1858, when he publicly cited
it as an example of Creeping So
cialism" although he said he was
mt out to destroy it.
IVA officials urged that Eisen.

The administration has approved
the contract but not Yet signed i:.

May. said neither Eisenhower nor
Acc Chairman Lewis L. Strauss
ever consulted him.
The administration contends the
contract is a fair and practical
way to get needed power in the
IVA area without spending govern.

steam plant, Eisenhower says the
public is perfectly and splendidly
protected.
The contracts critics have SAID
plenty, none more than Clapp. He
says Eisenhower was sold a bill

This contract. he says, would cost
the government more than five
million dollars year more thar

Clapp said the contract is in
tended to saddle IVA with higher
costs and push its rates up sC
that IVA will no longer be a
"yardstick" to keep private power
rates down.
