Power Stand Dominates Hoover Report Attention (Continued from Page One) a handbook for "private power company propaganda." A commis sion spokesman said the task force report was delayed in printing, but might appear next week. The Foreign Operations Admin istration, which also dies at mid night, delivered a deathbed kick at the commission in replying to a recent Hoover report on over seas economic operations. lt would "play directly into the Communists' hands," the FOA said to adopt 4he Hoover proposal that America out off all aid funds for major industrial projects in the "Asian-African arc," except possi bly Japan. This and several other proposals clash with presidential policy, FOA said. The storms almost over shadowed today's report summar izing Uie commission's two-year history and aims. It quoted esti mates of its various task forces indicating that multibillion-dollar savings could result from adoption of all Hoover recommendations. The estimates added up to more than S'i billion dollars a year, but the commission said this would bo excessive because the task force proposals overlapped. However, another 10 billion dol lars could be restored to the Treas ury, the commission said, if all surplus and unneeded property as sets were sold, if "certain" lending agencies were liquidated, and if some agencies were obliged to get along with smaller drawing ac counts at the Treasury.
