The Thomas bill would pro vide for development of power incident to other public works, such as reclamation and flood control projects. The projects would have first call on such power as needed for operating use. Revenues from sale of surplus power would be used to repay costs of the power instal lation, then applied to the cost of other features of the projects, in cluding irrigation units. No transmission lines could be constructed or acquired except by congressional authorization and no projects could be constructed pri marily to produce power.

W-287foran Interview. ft Senator Thomas (D-Oklai de layed action with a series of 30- minute speeches. He repeatedly suggested an agreement to vote Monday when senators away for the weekend would be present. Public power line exponents told reporters at least nine of .the missing senators would vote with Thomas. On Monday, they said, some of their own ' sup porters will be missing. Both sides apparently will be ready Tuesday. A close vote is indicated. The first test of the public power question will come on funds in the $590 million Interior Department appropriations bill for the transmission line program of the Southwestern Power Administration. The House voted to give SPA $9 million. The Senate Appro priations Committee cut it to $3,874,020. eliminating certain transmission lines.
