Mr.. Butler said in a statement

Mr.. Butler told his news con-

commented at his news confer

SEC Studies Costs
OF Dixon Yates Plant
In Probe 5 Fifth Day
BY Joseph A. Fox

!
The Securities and Exchange
Commission today took q look
at the cost elements entering
into the proposed Dixon Yates
power plant to determine II the
$107 million private utility ven-
ture In Tennessee Valley Au-
thority territory is prudent"
Responding to the demands Of
the public power opposition TO
the project, the utility group
yesterday agreed to bring In an
engineering witness today to give
a breakdown on actual construc-
ton costs Of $104,115.000 In
volyed in building a steam plant
at West Memphis, Ark. 10 sup
ply power to the IVA in the
Memphis area, as replacement
for iva power going to Atomic
Energy Commission installations.
The prudent" issue was raised
by Joseph Volpe, jr, counsel for
the State of Tennessee and other
opponents. who argued that this
would bear on the question Of
plant efficiency and economy
which the Commission must con-
slider in passing on the corpo-
rate setup Of the Mississippi Val
ley Generating Co., which Is to
operate the new facility.
Ebasco Representative.
Counsel for the utilities said
that the point was a new one
In connection with corporate
financing proceedings. They
have said that the power ar
rangement Is q prudent one.
Today's scheduled witness was
d representative of Ebasco Serv-
Ices, Inc. design engineers for
the West Memphis plant.
The contract for the building
operations has not been let.
Dixon Yates foes have COM
planned about the employment
of Ebasco, which was fired by the
Government from an earlier

Energy Commission at Joppa. H.,

mates by millions.

At the end of four days of

efforts Of the opposition to probe
the background of the contract

has signed with MVG for the

oped has been that insurance
companies and' banks are ready

proved by the Senate House

Tennessee. IA
Nixon, Dixon and Yates" he
said, are lowering "the American
standard Of public morals" The
three-rlame phrase coined during
this falls congressional cam
paigning represents more than a
catchy sound, he said.
Some Democrats have accused
Vice President Nixon of unfair
tactics on the Communist issue
In prediction speeches. Gov.

power advocate, criticized Mr..

GAO Chiefs Letter,
Citing Misfeasanee
AT Utah Depot, Barred
By tho Assoeiosed Press

The General Accounting Office
reported. yesterday it had found
evidence of "mismanagement
and misuse of funds" at the Ar
my's Deseret Chemical Depot
near Tooele, Utah. :
The Office OF Senator Bennett,
Republican, of Utah, who with
Representative Dawson, Republi-
can. Of, Utah, asked an investiga-
tion last spring. made public a
letter in which Frank H. Welt
eel. acting Comptroller General,
said the GAO inquiry "in general
| tended to substantiate the spe-
cific allegations made. by a for
mer depot employe." It was the
former employees story that
prompted the lawmakers re-
quest. =, r z -
Spending Cited.
For example," Mr.. Weitzel
wrote, "the commanding officer
from 1947-l949 spent an un-
determined amount Of appropri-
ated funds in building a golf
course, horse stables and re-
modelling the Officers Club.
I'm 1854, project maintenance
funds were used for unauthor-
lied purposes, including con-
struction. The proceeds from
quarters rental were improperly
used by the Officers Club In
March and April, 1854.
1T could not be proved that
military personnel were brought
to the depot to justify fringe
benefits but activities such as
post exchange and theater were
operated by civilians at no cost
to the Government before troops
were brought to the depot. The
need for Army enlisted men at
the depot is doubtful"
The report said that Of "a
enlisted men on the post "37
are assigned to troop support
activities (mess, commissary
special services and troop COM
mander)."
More Serious Topics.
"The investigation of the above
topics" MIR. Weitzel's letter
added. brought to light nu.
merous other and perhaps even
more serious topics which were
also examined"
MIR. Weitzel concluded by say
ing "in view of the seriousness
of the matter disclosed" copies
OF the report had been sent Sec
retary Of Defense Wilson "for his
information and to the Secretary
of the Army (Stevens) with q
request for comment.
