Dixon-Yotes Deal Threatens
Low Rates Throughout Nation,
Public Power Spokesman Says
Is Opening Wedge
To Gripping Of IVA.
Witness Declares
By Joseph A. Fox

A spokesman for more than
TOO public power ventures
charged today that the Dixon
Yates deal perils low utility rate
structures all over the country.
Hitting the arrangement under
which the Tennessee Valley
Authority would be forced to take
private power to bolster it's own
service to the Atomic Energy
Commission, Alex Radin, gen.
eral manager of the American
Public Power Association, warned
a congressional hearing on the
power arrangement:
Dixon Yates is but the open
ing wedge in the crippling of
TVA, and with the destruction
of that agency the people of the
Nation win have lost one of their
most effective allies in bringing
lower electric rates and greater
consumption of electricity to all
the homes, farms and industries
Of the Nation"
PrObers Study Pact.
Mr.. Radin testified before the
Joint Senate House Committee
on Atomic Energy which is
studying a proposed contract
under which the Atomic Energy
Commission would negotiate
with the Dixon-Yates system
Mississippi Valley Generating
Co.-for a $107 million steam
plant at West Memphis, Ark, to
transmit power into the Mem
phis area across the river. The
delivery would be made to the
TVA grid to replace IVA power
being furnished to atomic in
stallations including Paducah,
KY, and Oak Ridge, Tenn.
The administration has asked
the committee for immediate ap-
proval Of. the pact which other
wise would have to lie before the
next Congress for 80 days.
Mr.. Radin, in lengthy state
ment read to the committee, re-
iterated generally other argu-
ments against the West Memphis
venture which have been pressed
by previous public power wit
nesseS.
He said his organization, which
has headquarters here, repre-
sents more than 700 publicly
owned electric utilities in 80
States and Puerto Rico. Tennes-
see Valley Authority distributors
are included in membership and
he pointed out that they have
invested some $4O0 million in
facilities to market IVA power.
Not Once, But Twice.
In his general attack on the
contract Mr.. Radin said that
under the projected agreement
"the Government will not mere
ly pay more for power than it
would cost if a similar quantity
of power were purchased from
IVA, but through it's power bill
the Government will be paying
for the Dixon Yates plant not
once, but twice. Yet, at the end
of the amortization, the Govern
ment will not own the plant.
"The payment of the cost of
the plant comes about in the
following manner: First, the
Government through its capac-
ity charge covers the amortiza-
tion of the plant in 81 years.
Then, because of the excess in
the Governments power bill
over the cost of power from a
comparable IVA plant, the Gov
ernment will pay, by conserva-

At the time of his indictment,

posed to have received informa-
tion from Mr.. Petersen.

Friend Says ,Marityn
Heard Sheppard Was
Thinking Of Divorce
Mrs. Ahern Testifies
She Was Never Sure.
Doctor Loved Wife
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 9.-Marilyn
Sheppard heard just a few
months before she was slain
that her husband, DR.. Samuel
H. Sheppard, was thinking of
a DIVORCE" a witness in the Shep-
pard murder trial testified today.
A friend of the Sheppards,
Mrs. Nancy Ahern. also testified
that Mrs. Sheppard told her
she understood her husband
qualified the statement by saying
"they (the Sheppards) were
right for each other and would
try (their marriage) again."
Mrs. Ahern, a trim brunette in
her middle 30s. with dark horn
trimmed glasses. testified at the
trial of DR.. Sheppard. who is
charged with bludgeoning his
wife to death in their bedroom
July 4.
Got Story Second Hand.
Over defense objections, Mrs.
Ahern said she got this story
second hand, that Mrs. Sheppard
had heard about it from DR..
Randall Chapman, Los Angeles
osteopath and friend of the
Sheppards, during a visit to Cali
fornia last March.
Mrs. Ahern said Mrs. Shep-
pard seemed very much in love"
with her husband, but II was
never quite sure OF DR.. Shep-
pard."
Mrs. Ahern also reported that
another phase of a conversation
with Mrs. Sheppard last April
dealt with a watch which 'Dr.
Sheppard bought for a young
lady from California"
The prosecution has claimed
that this "young lady" was Susan
Hayes, a pretty laboratory tech
nician who, the prosecution says,
has admitted an affair with DR..
Sheppard early this year.
e.. Mrs. Sheppard mentioned
the watch, and I asked how she
knew of it." continued Mrs.
Ahern.
Was Upset About Watch.
The witness quoted Mrs. Shep-
pard as saying she either saw DR..
Sheppard write out a check for
the watch or found an expense
check for the watch.
"I asked her if she was not
upset about the watch, and she
said she was" she stated.
The relating of these details
followed closely the testimony of
Mrs. Ahern at the inquest last
summer. Defense Counsel Will
liam j. Corrigan vigorously pro-
tested their introduction today.

He was introduced to the large
gathering of leading clergymen
and lay people by DR.. Charles
w. Lowry, chairman of the
Foundation for Religious Ac-
ton, which is sponsoring the
three-day meeting.
President Eisenhower told the
gathering that "this relationship
between a religious faith and our
form of Government is so. OBJ
vious we should really not need
to identify a man as unusual be-
cause he recognizes it."
The President pointed out that
our whole theory of government.
so well expressed in the Declara-
ton of independence, gave the
reason that we should establish
such a Government" because
"man is endowed" by his crea-
tor" with certain qualities.
In this connection it is very
clear that no matter what de-
mocracy tries to do for the
individual the main thing is that

While formal opening of the
censure debate was put off until
tomorrow. the Senate already
had indications of things to
come. This came in yesterdays
opening session as the Senate
reconvened and in off -the-foor
comments by Senator Mccarthy
and some Of his friends.
In all the conversations there
were reports that supporters Of
the Wisconsin Republican might
try to talk the censure resolution
to death, although the Senator
himself disclaimed knowledge of
such strategy.
While Senate leaders expressed
hope the cenSure issue could be
settled before Thanksgiving, two
influential Democrats who asked
not to be named said they had
been informed efforts would be
made to prolong the debate until
midnight December "a.
The lines between those who
would censure the controversial
Wisconsin Republican ana those
who would not were being drawn
more closely as the Senate held

West Offers Russia
And India u. N. Role
In Atomic ParIey
Would Have Voice
In Arranging World
Scientific ToIks
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Nov. 9.-The Western power:
today offered Russia and India
a voice in arranging a proposed
international scientific confer.
ence on peaceful uses of atomic
energy.
The decision was announced
in the General Assembly's 60.
nation Political Committee by
Canada's Paul Martin who ha.
taken an active role in recent
weeks in trying to patch up East.
West differences over disarma.
ment and atomic control.
Mr.. Martin called attention tc
what he termed the moderate
tone of a speech which SoyieI
Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky
made in the committee yester.
day on President Eisenhower
atoms for peace" program. Ht
said he hoped this foreshadowec
the possible cooperation of the
Soviet Union in setting up ar
agency to advance the develop.
ment OF atomic energy for non.
war uses.
Part of Eisenhower Plan.
The proposed internationa
scientific conference is a part Of
the Eisenhower program, but i.
separate from the permanent
agency envisaged by the Unitee
States President. Both moves
however, are included in reso.
luton sponsored by the Unitec
States and six other countries
Mr.. Martin told the Politica
Committee that the seven spon.
sors of the resolution had decided
to recommend that Russia ant
India be included in an Advisor,
Committee which will decide OF
which countries are to be invitec
to the scientific conference anc
on the priority of subjects to bt
discussed.
Other members of the advi,
sorry committee would be th,
United States, Britain, France
Canada and Brazil.
No Immediate Reaction.
There was no immediate wore
from Russia and India as tt
whether they would agree tt
serve.
Mr.. Martins reference to Mr.
Vishinsky's moderate attitude
apparently was inspired by tht
Soviet delegates statement that
Russia was willing to continue
negotiations with the United
States over possible cooperation
in the proposed internationa
agency.
Other delegates, however, fore.
saw a possible East-West CLASH
over Soviet hints that Russis
would try to place the agencs
under the U. N. Security Council
in which Russia holds vett
| power.
The battle lines on this key
point were drawn in the Assem-
point were drawn in the com.
mittee yesterday when Mr.. vi.
shinsky asked why the United
States-backed seven-power res
olution to set up an interna.
tional atomic agency failed tt
specify that it should report tc
the Security Council.
United States Chief Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge. jr., quickly
countered that his government
did not oppose a liaison with the
Security Council but that II
would not favor a setup in which
the council veto paralyzes the
agency"
