WASHINGTON. April 1 0. ( AP )
President Roosevelt put his Ten

. He asked creation oi a Tennessee
valley authority to supervise the de
velopment of power, flood control,
forest conservation and improvement
of agriculture.
"It Is time." the president wrote,
"to extend planning to a wider field,

one of our greatest rivers.
Moans Future Steps.
"If we are successful here we can
march on, step by step. In a like de

The text follows, In part:
"To the congress:
"The continued Idleness of a great
national Investment In the Tennessee
valley leads me to ask congress for
legislation necessary to enlist this
project In the service of the people.
"It is clear that the Muscle Shoals
development is but a small part of
the potential public usefulness of the
entire Tennessee river.
"Such use. If envisioned In Its en
tirety, transcends mere power de
velopment: '
"It enters the wide field of flood
control, soil erosion, reforestation.
elimination from agricultural use of
marginal lands, and distribution and
diversification of industry.
"In short, this power development
of war days leads logically to national
planning for a complete river water
shed involving many states and the
future lives and welfare of millions.
"It touches and. gives life to all
forms of human concerns.
"I, therefore,, suggest to the con
gress legislation to create a Ten

clothed with the power of government
but possessed of the flexibility and
Initiative of a private enterprise . . "
