3-Cornered Fight
On Tax Exemption
For Diapers Looms

The eternal triangle of the
nursery is up for attention again
In the House.
It was put there by Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat, of
Tennessee, at the urging OF the
National Institute Of Diaper
Services. The people who wash
diapers for a living feel that
mothers who use their service
should be allowed to deduct it
from their incomes as a medical
expense.
So Mr.. Davis put this sug-
gestion into the form OF a bill
and introduced it in the House
When a similar suggestion was
put forth last year, Representa-
tive Mason. Republican, of Il
linois, objected on the grounds
that "three-fourths of the young
couples with children use regu-
lar or old-fashioned diapers and
wash them"

Court Halls AirIine's
N. Y.-Mexico FIiqhts
BY the Assoeiofed Press

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday ordered that
American Airlines may not start
nonstop service between New
York and Mexico City pending
arguments in a legal effort by
Eastern and Pan American Air
lines to prevent such service.
American now holds authority
from the Civil AeronauticS
Board for the nonstop flights,
but has not started service over
the route. A date for arguments
in the case probably will be set
early next week.
Glen Harlan, counsel FOR East
ern, in appealing to the court
referred to the CAB order jan
uary 81 granting American au-
thority for the 2,000-mile New
York-Mexico nonstop service
as being an "eight-minute deci-
Sion."
The CAB had said the emer-
gency action was necessary be-
cause Air France had arranged
with the Mexican government to
start nonstop service jan
uary Is.
Emory T. Nunnelly, jr., CAB
general counsel. told the court
that allowing Air France to op-
crate exclusive nonstop service
to Mexico City would give that
airline an opportunity to be-
come entrenched in that market
at cost of American competition.

Gen. vogei Rejects
Creeping Socialism
Attitude About IVA

Brig. Gen. Herbert D. vogel
presidential nominee for the
Tennessee Valley Authority
Craftsmanship, today told Con-
gress he did not consider the
iva to be creeping socialism, -
label once used by President
Eisenhower.
The general. who is chief of
the Army Engineers Southwest
division. testified before the SEN
ate Public Works Committee,
which is considering the NOM
ination.
The committee recessed with
out voting on the appointment,
but may do so later today.
In an informal statement. Gen
Vogel promised to "do my very
best for the valley and the Ma
ton" in his new post.
Opposes Expansion.
Under pointed questioning by
Senator's Gore, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, and Morse, Inde-
pendent. of Oregon, Gen. Voge]
said that:
l. He opposes any expansion
OF the iva service area beyond
the valley.
2. He believes any additional
power needs within the valley
should be supplied by TVA and
not private utilities, although a
flnal decision in any particular
case he would want based on an
engineering analysis.
8. He considers the contro-
Versial administration plan to
allow a private utility syndicate
in the Memphis area to supply
power to the iva to be q
singular situation" and not q
precedent-making action.
4. He would not be, a party
to permitting private utilities to
eat away at the fringes of iva
but would in all cases defend
the integrity" Of the valley.
5. He does not believe that any
iva facilities should be sold to
private enterprise, nor that the
Federal Government should get
out OF the power business.
Would Serve Nine Years.
Gen. vogel, 81, is an authority
on soil and water control and
conservation. Half of his 80
years service in the Army was
in civil pursuits. For one year
he was acting governor of the
Canal Zone. If confirmed, he
would serve for a nine-year term
at a yearly salary of $4,000.
After expressing his belief in
the wisdom and feasibility of
IVA, he was asked what he
thought Of the giant independent
agency. He said he felt it would
be .presumptuous to answer at
this time but that he had heard
1t described in many ways from
IAN 6ctupus stretching its ten
tacles out in every direction" to
the face Of God shining down
Evening star., 1954-08-09

i upon a benighted land" Then
he added:
Its none of these things
that do know"
On another front the acting
chairman of iva said today the
agency's directors will probably
wait for the comments of the
Bureau of the Budget before de-
Gliding whether to enter into the
Dixon-Yates contract.
DR.. Harry A. Curtis, reached
at iva headquarters in Knox
vile, said he and Raymond r.
Patty, now the only two members
OF the board. still have had no
answer to a letter they sent the
bureau on July 2, protesting the
contract, which was ordered in
a recent directive issued by Pres
ident Eisenhower.
In their letter to the Budget
Bureau, DR.. Curtis and Mr.. Patty
objected. that the cost to the
Government under the proposed
contract would be greater than
II IVA built another plant OF
its own.
He said the most serious
aspect of the proposal was "lack
OF control which the iva board
would have over the costs TVA
would incur"
A Budget Bureau official sale
the letter had been received ano
was under study.
The two directors protested
that under the Dixon Yates pro-
posal. additional costs to iva
would be over $3.75O, 900 a year,
and the total additional cost to
the Government would be S.
567 900" year for the rs years
Of the contract.
They also asserted that the
proposed site of the new plant,
on the Arkansas side of the Mis-
sissippi River near Memphis, was
far inferior to the Fulton site
on the east side of the river from
the standpoint of a realistic
estimate of initial costs, plant
operating costs and costs to as
simulate the output within the
IVA system"

50 State Drownings Laid
To Lack Of Supervision
by the As.eeiated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-Blam-
ing lack of supervision, the
State Department of Health has

DR.. A. w. Hedrich, chief of the

less than in April, May, June and
July, 1853.
He continued, ''lack of super
vision appears to be the major
contributing factor in drown
ings among swimmers. Areas
having adequate supervision gen.
orally have few drownings."
