About IVA And Taxes

Washington It's now more
than 20 years since The creation
BY Franklin ID Roosevelt Of the
Tennessee Valley Authority. The
IVA is the largest publicly owned
e.ectric System in the United
States. and as a consequence, has
been the No, target q private
utility company critics
The one charge repeated over
and over by Twas detractors is
that the iva doesn't pay taxes
While some critics are fair enough
to admit that IVA does make GER
tain payments in lieu OF taxes 10
local and state governments, they
insist that cheap electric power
results from its failure to pay
federal income taxes.

Those "Right-To Work Laws

hhbNF hikAh~ ~ "RiA saws
We have had occasion over the
months 10 make reference to the
so-caiied right. to-work laws now
before many state legislatures
We pass on without comment
some recent remarks by Prof
Retnhold Niebuhr. the prominent
Protestant theologian
The purpose Of the right.to-
work laws which now exist in rs
Of our states and are proposed In
others. Is very clear These laws
are intended to prevent the union
shop. a centreotural arrangement
between management and labor
which gives the union security
The real purpose Of the 4
laws, Is TO accomplish this weak
eniHg Of labor under the gIise Of
preserving or restoring the ind
yidual liberties OF our democratic
society 49,
The lmplausibility Of the So
called right-to-work laws Is so
obvious that one must come to the
conclusion that their proponents
are either stupid or dishonest in
their pretensions."

where it could have Strayed

belonged, it was discovered it
had either jumped or fallen
from a passing horse trailer.
It's rear left leg was cut and
he had other cuts and bruises.
Later it was learned that the
colt belonged to the Cyril Fritz

NEW, IF ANY, cities Of the United States
Il are at once so famous and so little
known as Newport. r. !.
Everybody knows, Of course, that Pres
ident Eisenhower picked it as a vacation
spot. Many know vaguely that it Is. as
the tourist guidebooks say, "a resort Of
with annual events In which they are
interested-the apolis-to-Newport and
Newport-to-Spain yacht races, the Jazz
Festival. the Tiffany Ball. But only those
who have been there-and they are but an
infiniteSimal fraction Of our population
know what kind Of place it really is.
The guidebooks call 1t q seaport"
From the standpoint of trade, it isn't
though it has been and, conceivably, could
be again.
They call it the social capital of the
United States" Again, it isn't-and prob
ably never win be again.
But it Is q beautiful and interesting
little population, 1854 in 1851 city.
delightful place to spend a spring, summer
or fan vacation, q fascinating field Of
exploration for those intrigued by things
Colonial. And there Is still considerably
more than a modicum Of truth In what the
guidebooks say about wealth and fashion"
Newport, you may be surprised to learn,
Is on Rhode Island as well as IN Rhode
Island. That is, the island Of which 1t is
a part has the same name as the State,
which is not an island. Middletown and
Portsmouth also are on the island, which
was known to the Indians as Aquidneck
Settlers driven from Massachusetts, because
