TV A DIRECTOR SAYS
FIGURE SHOULD BE CUT
BREAK MAY BE ONLY
STAGE IN IIAUttMNG
WASHINGTON, Aug. 36. The Vital
negotiations between the Tennessee
Valley Authority and the Common
wealth and Southern company have
broken down. After a long period of
peaceable discussion, TVA's David
Ullenthal and Commonwealth and
Southern's Wendell L. Wlllkie are
once more thumbing their noses at
one another. As peace between the
New Deal and the utilities directly
depends on peace between the TV A
and Common walth and ' Southern,
the event Is a minor economic
tragedy.
The break Is not Irreparable. It
may be repaired when the close of
the TV A Investigation soothes the
atmosphere. Or, when the elections
art past, it may be easier to arrive
at an agreement. For the present,
however, each side refuses to listen
to the arguments of the other.
The question at issue, broadly
, speaking, la the purchase by the
TV A of Commonwealth and South
ern's huge affiliate, the Tennessee
Electric Power company, and some
adjoining properties. Negotiations be
gan when Wlllkie. as spokesman for
the power industry, angrily proclaim
ed that TV A competition had made
It Impossible to do business In the
TVA area, and offered to sell out
to the TVA.
After prolonged conferences with
the President, Ullenthal took Win
kle's offer up, and the two men
began haggling over the prtqe. It Is
a wide-open disagreement on price
term which has caused the present
break.
One of Winkle's and Llllenthal's
first steps was to agree on the hiring
of a firm of Independent account
ants to audit the properties involved
in. the bargain. LUlenthal named four
nationally known firms. Wlllkie

President Roosevelt said today he and
James A. Parley "were in complete
agreement as usual" during a polit
ical conference yesterday.
The president made this direct
statement in response to questions
at his press conference.
He and Farley were understood to
have gone over the political situations
in "every slate where the New Dil
Is an issue.
IVarley reportedly urged the presl. 1
dent to go personally Into Maryland ;
In an effort to defeat Sen. Millard
Tydings, an administration opponent -seeking
re -nomination.
The president did not comment on
this, however, saying only he naci ,
no engagements besides two already
announced for patriotic observance
In Poughkeepsle, N. Y., and Chatii
nooga, Tenn.
Asked for comment on reports th?
Workers' Alliance, an organization of
WPA workers, la seeking to raise a i
(50,000 campaign fund f or WPA em- !
ployes, the president gave reporter-;
this reply:
"I very much hope that people on
relief will not contribute any money
for the purpose of aiding any party." ;
The president expressed approval of ;
a statement by Harry Hopkins, the ;
WPA administrator, regarding Hie '
raising of campaign funds from re- 1
lief workers. Hopkins vigorously con
demned the practice. 1
The president and Farley were
ported to have discussed many other
subjects besides politics during their
talk yesterday.
There was no word as to what Fai
ley may have reported to the pres
ident regarding the political situa
tions In Georgia, and South Carolina
where administration opponents are
seeking renomlnetton to the senate
Pone Not Mentioned
Nothing was said either about The
Idaho situation, where Sen. James P.
Pope, an administration supporter

Mr. Roosevelt was asked whether
he had any comment on reports New
York communists were supporting
James H. Fay in the latter's race
against Rep. John O'Connor, a new
deal foe whom Mr, Roosevelt already
has criticized.
Mr. Roosevelt replied communists
could not vote In the Democratic pri
mary. A recent speech of Earl Browdcr.
head of the communist party, war.
called to the president's attention.
Browder aald Mr. Roosevelt could not
repudiate support by communists
without repudiating democracy Itself.
