Future Of TVA Up To Congress
UTACUrhTrvi'vi.T - ..
..miwiun un wiliat's go
ing to happen to the Tennessee Val
ley Authority in 1954?
That question was in the minds
of friends and foes of TVA alike
Wednesday as the new session of
Congress opened.
The vast government agency can
!e wt!. flwer "venues as it sees
fit, but it must get appropriations
from Congress to finance its ex
panding power program.
And Congress, at its past ses
sion, refused to appropriate 30 mil
lion dollars for starting a . new
team-electrlc plant near Memphis.
TVA undoubtedly will ask funds
again this year to start the plant
which it says Is needed to meet
the growing power needs in the
Memphis area of the valley.

Congress again block the power
expansion program?
That apparently is the top ques
tion in the TVA controversy. But
there are others. There has been
some talk of selling the TVA's
power facilities to private indus
try. However, no bill has been
proposed to authorize such a sale.
, But Rep. Dondero (R-Mich),
chairman of the House Public
Works Committee, is planning
early hearings on his bill to
amend the TVA act so that mu
nicipalities served by the agency
could construct their own supple
mental power plants or buy power
from private utilities.
His bill would eliminate the "sole
supplier" clause in TVA contracts
which prohibits municipalities and
cooperatives from obtaining power
elsewhere. The measure also would
abrogate TVA's control over local
resale rates
Just how this measure, if
adopted, would affect the TVA is a
matter of conjecture. Some say it
would cripple the agency. Others
declare the effect would only be
minor.

State Board To Hold
Portland Milk Hearing ,
PORTLAND Wl The State
Board of Agriculture will decide
next Monday when to hold another
hearing on the proposal to raise
milk prices in the Portland-Salcm
area.
Chairman E. Riddell Lagc, Hood
River, said it protnbly would be
late this month or early in Feb
ruary. The board earlier ordered a cant-a-quart
increase for the area; but
postponed it on order of Gov. Paul
Patterson, who objected to the fact
that no prior public notice had
been given of the board's meeting.
A hearing held after the governor's
action brought protests from con
sumers and some dairymen
against a price increase. The
board took no action then.
