Services Administration disclosed
last night that Harvey won it
power contract and loan guar
antee last week only aftel
threatening to sue the Govern.
ment for breach of contract.
The suit was prepared by the
New York law firm of Thomas
e. Dewey. and a member of that
firm, James e. Nickerson, nego-
tiated the out-of court settle
ment which bought Harvey Its
financial aid.
Harvey had obtained. early in
1858, Government commitments
emitting 1t to receive electricity
from the Bonneville Power Ad-
ministration, together with Fed
|eral tax benefits to help finance
construction and a guaranty that
the Government would buy part
of the plants early output.
Harvey bought a plant, broke
ground and began construction.
But the administrations inter-
lest in another round of alumni
mum expansion lapsed and the
Government failed to provide
funds for the power transmission
facilities between Bonneville and
the Harvey site.
The company halted construc-
tion. but kept trying to jog the
Government into action until
four months ago. Then it served
notice, through Mr.. Nickerson.
that it had prepared a claim for
$40 million damages to be pre-
sented TO the United States
