COOP BUCKS BUY
Big APPLIANCES

AKRON.-(CN S)-Co-op Bucks
are becoming legal tender here
along with the kind printed by your
uncle in the striped pants.
Everyone who spends dollar at
the coop supermarket gets Coop
Buck. Then once a month, the coop
auctions off such things as pottery,
housewares, clocks, tools, guns, ap-
pliances, TV sets, and electric clothes
dryers. Anyone can bid. If you're
the top bidder, you pay off with Co
OPP Bucks.
These auctions turn into celebra
lions with free popcorn, jammed
parking areas, and square dancing on
into the night. The Eagles Lodge set
up a carnival near the latest auction,
November 1, to raise funds for Boys
Village, 40 miles south. A concession

TWAS help TO River
NAVIGATION CITED

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-(LDNS)-
The harnessed Tennessee River car
ried nearly % times as much river
freight traffic during the first nine
months this year as it did during the
entire year 1933-before IVA began
aiding navigation, preventing floods
and generating power.
Estimated Tennessee River freight
traffic for the first nine months of
1854 not only is 27.9 times as great
as it was during the entire year 1888,
but it is running about 20 per cent
ahead of last year, TWAS latest data
reveals.
An estimated 6,318,OOO tons, and
912,927, 900 ton-miles, moved on the
river in the January-September 1854
period. This may be compared to the
mere 100000 tons, and 2,659,00
ton-miles, that moved during the en-
tire year 1888 Most of the 1888 traf-
fic was short-haul sand and gravel,
IVA said.
The United States Corp of Engi-
neers has announced these prelimi-
nary official figures for Tennessee
River freight movement for the en-
tire year 1858: 7,119,227 tons and
,O20, 628,819 ton-miles. A ton-mile
one ton moved one mile.

RomuIo Urged Nations
To Start Atom Coop

United Nations, N. Y.-(CNS)-
Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippines
urged nations of the world to own
and develop the peaceful atom
through a coop.
Romulo, former United Nations
general assembly president, said No
vember 10, the various governments
should invest money or fashionable
materials in "co-operative atomic
reactor project" He said 100000
and the equivalent of one atomic
bomb each. from the U. S. and the
Soviet Union would be enough to get
going.
He said the coop could produce
radioisotopes, train technicians, de-
velop atomic power, and spark studies
by scientific groups.
Romulo's suggestion came as a 60
nation political committee continued
to discuss a world atomic energy
agency proposed year ago by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.

BRITISH PAPER BLASTS
u. S. In baltimore CASE

LONDON-(LDNS)- The conser-
vative LONDON TIMES has taken
an editorial shot at the United States
Justice Department for it's handling
of the case of Owen baltimore.
baltimore is a former State De-
partment consultant and Far Eastern
expert. He has been indicted on
charges that he lied in testimony be-
fore the Senate Internal Security
Committee in 1862.
The TIMES declared:
"It is the duty of the Justice De-
partment to prosecute the criminal.
But the facts Of the baltimore case
arouse an uneasy feeling of perse-
cution rather than prosecution.
ut is indeed tragic irony that
while Alger Hiss, whom in 1850 the
courts found guilty will be free next
month, Owen baltimore, whom the
courts found innocent, is still a
bounded man."

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
A congressional committee was ready
November II to overlook the 30-day
legal delay on the hotly-debated
Dixon Yates contract. But its action
was an anti6limax. For critics of
the contract Ehad already forced a
new clause into it that allows either
the government or the private power
combine to back out before February
Is.
Congressman w. Sterling Cole (R-
| N. W, House-Senate atomic energy
committee chairman, was set for a
showdown. He urged the group to
waive a provision that requires such
contracts to lie before Congress a
month while Congress is in session.

party-line vote-10 Republicans for,
8 Democrats against

The government would pay for
the $I07 million plant twice-and
the Dixon-Yate combine would
end up owning it. For the private
firms rates not only will retire
the full plant investment but over
the rs years are $95-$14O million
in excess of rates that IVA would
charge for the same power.
Both Acc and the private power
trust signed the contract November
II. Cole and others on the Senate
House committee felt they couldn't
waive the 30-day waiting period until
there was actually signed contract.
But with numerous last-minute
memoranda of understanding" be-

NEW YORK TIMES editorial drove
home a point on the NLRB which
union officials have been making. a
long time.
"All the recent decisions of the
board, whether their effect he pro or

Committee Approves Signing
Dixon Yates But Fight Goes On

ment with IVA. Herbert d. Vogel,
new IVA chairman, favors the con-
tract. But the other two iva dl-
acknowledgement Patty and Harry
Curtis-are still opposed.
The General Accounting Office
has IT objections to the Dixon-Yates
contract, but Acting Comptroller
General Frank Weitzel has never
been called to present these objec-
tions to Congress.
Instead, Eisenhower nominated
Campbell as comptroller general No
vember 9. If he were to get Senate
okay, Campbell could thus sign the
contract as an Acc commissioner,
then okay it as "the U. S. Treasury's
Watchdog" But it appeared Camp
BELLS nomination, considered econ
troversial' by numerous senators,
would wait until the Democratic
controlled Saith Congress.
AS Senator Albert Gore Cd
Tenn said. "The Dixon-Yates deal
now has President Eisenhower's name
on it. / have excused him on the basis
of bad advise as long as | care to-"
The President told reporters No
vember 9 he wanted the Dixon Yates
contract because no better way has
been offered to supply the needed
power.
For three years IVA has sought
500 million to build a 100000
kiIowatt steam plant at Fulton,
Tenn, so it could meet Aces
needs without a 'brown-out" of
other customers. Taxpayers would
pay for this plant once-and they'd
own it.
Next day Eisenhower wrote Cole
suggesting REORGANIZATION" of the
federal governments power role. If
IVA is to supply "all the additional
power capacity that might be needed
in the Tennessee valley" he said,
we would have to plan a
gigantic power development to cover
the entire nation" a
Eisenhower-who has called iva
Creeping socialism" despite his cam
paign promise "to maintain IVA at
maximum efficiency" - indicated
clearly where he stood. Building
new plants at federal expense is
wholly indefensible unless it becomes
part of vast national plan"
The President said "the best in
erests of the people of the IVA
lrea" would be served by waving the
Today waiting period. But Mayor
frank Tobey of Memphis and Gov.
frank G. Clement of Tennessee both
opposed the contract in testimony.
Clement said his state planned a court
