Million in Regular Aid
Money Due to Unex

Wasco Sheriff
SALEM. Ore., Jan. 17. (AP) Con
firmation or unofficial advices that
Oregon'a planned highway construc
tion program for next year was
threatened by the loss of $2,000,000
In regular federal aid money was
contained In-a telegram received at
the atatt highway department today
from Senator Charles Ii. McNary.
McKary's telegram replying to an
Inquiry by B. H. Baldock, atate high
way engineer, stated that the director
of the budget and the president. In
view of the large unexpended balance
of public funds allocated to roads
available for 1937 work bad been In
fluenced to recommend against In
clusion of the regular federal aid ap
propriation for 1937 in the budget.
Senator McNary said he had dis
cussed the matter with Thomas Mc
Donald, chief of the bureau of public
roads, who hart advised him of the
budget director's attitude, and witn
Senator Hayden, chairman, of the
senate subcommittee on road appro
priations, and would do all In his
power to to protect Oregon against
loss of Its federal aid appropriation
next year.
Hayden advised him. McNary said,
that he would recommend Inclusion
In the regular appropriation bill of
$125,000,000 for regular federal aid,
notwithstanding the recommendation
of the president in hla budget mes
sage that this allocation be carried
over and made available for the fis
cal year 1938.
Baldock advised McNary that by
April 1 all of the public works grant
money for highways would have been
placed under contract, and that
practically all work In Oregon would
be completed by October 1. The un
expended balances of public works
money, he stated la that allocated
chiefly to middle western and south
ern states that were lower In starting
their projects.
Cancellation of the 1937 allocation
of federal aid money "would mean
the loss of one year's allotment to
the highway building program of Ore
gon," Baldock had Informed McNary.

SPENCER CORSETIKKE. Tel. 1534-L
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UP) Ti
kerosene lamp era in the Tennessee
valley farm area Is passing and even
the leal buttle between the TV A
tnd the public utilities, regardless of
the result, will have little effect on
rural progress.
Farmers are sitting back and watch
ing the dramatic fight, assured that
they von will have full benefit of
electric power. Their assurance is
based on a new policy of the Ten
nessee Electric Power company.
According to David Ltllienthal. di
rector of the TVA, only two percent
of the farmers In this area now re
ceive electric power. For years the
Tennessee .aectrlc Power company
has neglected them, according to re
corded testimony, and even ha re
fused their plea for service because
It was not profitable.
New Lines Put In.
Now. however, with new counties
signing TVA agreements every day.
Tepco has rushed construction crews
over the state, stringing up lines,
which in many instances serve only
one or two oustomers In an entire
community.
The sudden spread of the power
company's system into rural areas
heretofore neglected. Is traceable to
the agreement two years ago between
the TVA and power companies In
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
For a reduction In rates on the
part of utilities. TVA agreed not to
enter any area already served by one
of the utilities until the completion
of Norrls dam.
Farmers In this area have hailed
the coming of TVA and the promised
cheap rural power.
Seek to Circumvent TVA.
On the other hand, the power com
pany, realizing that If and when the
low cost rural systems are set up,
customers in towns and cities on al
ready established systems will clam
or for further reduced rates or TVA
service, are trying to keep TVA out
by getting In ahead and holding the
authority to the old agreement.
There Is nothing unethical about
Tepco's sudden bid for rural custom
ers. It la no mor- than any
business does In 1U efforts to elim
inate competition and ge into areas
ahead of rivals. However, protests
from county and municipal authorl- j
ties are being made.
Recently, the mayor of Pulaski.
Tenn., W. R. Rackley. issued a state
ment in which he called Tepco s tac- j
tics "unfair." ,
"It is quite clear that the ral pur- !
pose of the power company la to block j
our progreea, for many Giles county j
(Pulaski) farmers tell us that the
company is not soliciting them for
service, though the new lines run,
past their farms," he said.
Airrerment With TVA.
The Pula-k! muntcipally-owned
power plant recently signed an agree- ,
ment with TVA whereby the auth- j
ortty would buiWl lines and turn i
them over to the Pulaski plant for j
distribution of cheap power to the i
rural areas. j
J. E. DeFord. chairman of the Hot- :
din couunty rural electrification
committee, has sought an injunction ;
against Tepco putting in lines after j
plans were completed for the county
to get TVA service. The case 1$ pend
ing in court.
Dayton county borrowed 138,000 j
from TVA subsidiaries to extend cheap
power to its communities and im- j
mediately the power company began
setting up poles along its best high
ways "after 23 years of neglect," of
ficials charged.
A similar situation has arisen In
Rutherford county, where C. F. Holt, j
chairman of the local campaign, an
nounced that Rutherford county was
going a-head with efforts to obtain
cheap power and that no customers
signed by Tepco would be approached.
