Lilienthal Cites Part of TVA in National Defense Industrialist Finds Power In Sacrifices Speaker Declares Project Improves Living Standards By DON BUTZTN "The TVA is one part of the in ventory of American strength . . . It has made substantial contribu tions to the military strength and higli national morale which we are striving for in this country,” Da vid E. Lilienthal, TVA director, told students packing Gerlinger hall in the 11 o’clock assembly yesterday morning. # This project began as a defense measure, said the director, telling of the Mussel Shoals dams con structed during the world war, which were planned to operate ex plosive plants through the use of nitrogen gathered there from the air. Construction Tinder Way The blueprints made not long ago to modernize the plant are now being made into concrete and steel for a new preparedness drive, Lilienthal related. The main concern of this project is in the research field, however, he stated, TVA men having made several ad vances in the chemical field which will aid manufacturers to produce more defense materials. “Guns alone will not make us secure, though,” added the speak er. "We'll hold our freedom only because the people of this nation carry in their hearts a burning de sire to keep it safe by sacrificing for its preparedness.” Stresses Power of Morale The means of getting people in the "sacrificial mood” is to show them their leaders are working for them, the speaker declared. “A man will fight for his home, but not for his boarding house . . , You can't conscript a man’s heart," he said, driving home to the as sembly the influence that morale has in shaping a nation's defense. In its program of soil conserva tion and industrial advances for the Tennessee valley, the TVA is bringing the security and better living standards which will once again make the people of the re gion feel of this country as their own. Replace Hope for Defeat Most farmers who have coop erated with the TVA program, the director said, are "as securely rooted in this land as the clover which covers the slopes of it,” now that they've benefited from it. “The replacement of hope and confidence for defeat and despair Oregon ^ Emerald Tuesday Advertising Stall': Elizabeth Dick, manager Marilyn Campbell Bob Nagel Jim Roberts Jim Thayer Night Staff: Brian Thompson, night editor Bill Hilton, assistant Betty Sevier Betty Sibley Madelle Christopherson Grace Babbitt Margaret Stark Copy Desk Staff: Bernie Engel, desk editor Beverly Padgham Betty Gregg Peggy Kline Brian Thompson Kent Stitzer in these people’s hearts is the rock of our defense foundation,” he as serted. TVA Nintti largest T’nit Through full cooperation from Tennessee valley residents and through friendly arbitration with business interests the TVA author ities have been able to make of their project the ninth largest power production unit in the west ern hemisphere, declared the ex lawyer. Noting that the TVA project was merely a sample of what this country can do in a big way, Mr. Lilienthal advanced the thought that "today we ought to revive the good old-fashioned custom of bragging about our national strength hnd solidarity” if we are to progress. Brags of Strength "We have weaknesses,” he ad mitted, “but we must remember how strong we arc. . . We have a solidarity and unity we can brag about when compared with that of other nations. . . . The genius of America is our ability to make adjustments (to our problems). . . . We know only the opening bars of the "New World” symphony,” were Mr. Lllienthal’s main state ments on the condition of what our national spirit should be. Sidney Sinclair, baritone, opened the assembly by singing "Old Man River.” The response called for an encore number, "Without a Song.” Accompanying him on the piano was Thad Elvigion.
