Mysiery .Telephone'
Call Described by
Hearing Witness
Washington U.R) There was
a mysterious telephone call, the
.witness said, and an offer of
money, perhaps a bribe.
Spectators and newsmen perk
ed up.
The -tall, slim man appearing
before the Securities and Ex
change Commission was Dr. F.
H. Kellogg, dean of engineer
ing at the University of Missis
sippi. He had been called to
testify at the long and compli
cated hearines about the contro
versial Dixon-Yates power proj
ect. : Dr. Kellogg is a soil expert.
Opponents wanted, through him,
to show that Dixon-Yates picked
a poor location near West Mem
phis, Ark., on which to build a
plant for furnishing electricity
to the Tennessee Valley Author
ity. Contributions Promised
But beore his technical testi
mony, Dr. Kellogg told the com
mission his university had re
ceived phone calls from some
one who was "very much dis
turbed" that he was to testify.
He said the mystery voice ques
tioned "the propriety of my be
ing here." . ;, -
Kellogg said the calls were
,made from Jackson, Miss., to
University Provost Alton Bry
ant at Oxford, Miss.,, and that
contributions were promised to
the university for an airport it
is building, and for engineering
equipment. ' '
Kellogg did not say, nor did
he quote. Bryant as saying, the
proposed contributions were as
' sociated with his appearance as
a witness at the hearing. ' !
Under questioning by SEC at
torney Solomon Friedman and
Daniel James, Dixon-Yates at
torney, Kellogg declared, he felt
no personal fear about his testi
mony and that it had not been
changed by the telephone calls.
"Serious Testimony";
But he said, "I am very much
concerned that anyone should
question the right of myself, or
any other professor, to appear
as a technical witness."
SEC Chairman Ralph H. Dem
mler said Kellogg's statements
about the telephone calls repre
sented "very serious testimony."
Kllogg later testified that a
"safe plant could be built at the
location" at West Memphis pro
posed by Dixon-Yates. But he
said over-all costs for founda
tions would be "signicantly high
er than at other nearby loca
tions" and that "close engineer
ing supervision of a high degree
of competence" would be needed :
on the foundations. ?
A Memphis city official told
the commission that the Dixon
Yates project at West Memphis,
would be unreliable, undesirable
and unsatisfactory for Memphig.
