SEC Attorneys Back
Plans for Financing
Dixon Yates Project
counsel's Brief Says
Power Contract Would
Serve Public interest
By The Assoeioisd Press

Staff attorneys Of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
recommended today that the
commission approve the planned
financing Of the Dixon Yates
power contract.
The counseFs recommends
lions are advisory and are not
binding on the commission. but
they are followed more often
than not.
The SEC Is considering wheth-
er to approve plans under which
two utility holding companies
Middle South Utilities headed
by Edgar H. Dixon and the
Southern Co. headed by Eugene
A. es-would invest $5.5 mil
lion to buy all the common stock
Of q new power plant.
The new private plant. In
West Memphis, Ark, would sup
ply power under contract with
the Atomic Energy Commission
over lines Of the Government
owned Tennessee Valley Au-
thority. Total cost is estimated
at $107 million, with the bulk
Of the funds to be borrowed
from banks and insurance COM
panies.
Foes Challenge Legality.
Attorneys for the State Of
Tennessee and public power
groups in the iva area have
argued that the. power contract
between Acc and the utilities Ii
illegal.
A brief filed today by Solomon
Freedman, SEC counsel, rejected
these arguments and declared
the project will serve the public
interest. The brief said the util-
ity groups headed by Mr.. Dixon
and Mr.. Yates should get q
yield Of about 9 per cent on
their investment. It said this
return compares with 10 to 10.6
per cent earned on the COM
mon stock Of the two holding
companies themselves.
Briefs Due Today
Today is the deadline for III

case The power companies and

Advisers Seek Outlay
To Advance Program
Advocated by President
By Cecil Holland
BY Cecil Holland

A presidential advisory COM
mission today recommended an
additional Federal aid totaling
SOS billion over d 10-year period
to help finance a stepped-up
program for undermining inter-
state highways.
The Recommendation was made
In q report by the commission
headed by retired Gen. Lucius ..
Clay after q lengthy study 81
President Eisenl1ower's proposal
for improving the country's ma
tional highways.
Needs Put ut S101 Billions.
The commission estimated the
total construction needs Of all
highways systems during the
next 10 years at $101 billion. II
said the present highway pro-
gram, If continued unchanged
would make available during that
period approximately SAT billion
leaving q gap of $54 billion.
The commission study recon-
mended a Federal aid program
that would take up approximate
ly half Of the $54 billion gar
while continuing the existing
Federal aid program OF aiding
States in highway construction.
The commission recommended
the creation by Congress Of q
Federal Highway Corporation
with authority to issue bonds te
finance the Federal Govern.
ment's share Of the expanded
program.
Gen. Clay's Letter.
Gen. Clay, in a letter trans
hitting the study to President
Eisenhower, said:
THE plan recommends au.
thorization by the Congress OF
long-term financing. with exist
ing Federal aid continued and
additional funds concentrated
for 10 years on undermining the
key 40.000-mile national system
Of interstate highways.
1T would, in effect, be a self
liquidating program since the
funds to be capitalized would be
equivalent to revenues antici-
pated from Federal taxes on
gasoline and lubricating oils. II
will achieve our objective while
entailing no increase in either
the Federal tax rates on these
items or the national debt limit =
