'Boom Town' Idea Growing
As Dixon-Yates Pact Aired
Memphis Tenn. (U.R) The
controversial Dixon-Yates power
plan is giving nearby West Mem
phis, Ark., "boom town" ideas
.even while the controversy over
the proposal still rages. -L.
' Under the Dixon-Yates plan, a
$107,000,000 "power, plant would
be built near West Memphis to
send : power into Tennessee Val
ley Authority lines to replace
power TVA sends the Atomic
Energy Commission.
, The plan has - made headline
news, with a storm of contro
versy blowing up in Congress.
Residents of the TVA area and
many Democrats heartily . de
nounce the proposal, while most
Republicans contend it wut.save
the ' government and the : tax
payers money.
In West Memphis, just across
the Mississippi River from here,
they're not even, waiting for a
final decision. j
Multi-million dollar commer
cial and residential plans have
been announced, the city wants
to expand and annex nearby
Hulbert, Ark., and civic leaders
talk rosily of what the plant will
do for the East Arkansas area.:
Head Two Firms
And behind it all are two men,
virtually unknown to the gen
eral' public until they put their
names together. Dixon-Yates ; is
a combination of last names of
Edgar H. Dixon and Eugene A.
Yates.
Dixon is president of Middle
South Utilities: Yates is chair
man of the board of the South
ern Company. Those two firms
control a total of eight private
power companies in the South.
The Dixon-Yates combined
name is used to describe the pro
posal by Middle South and the
Southern Company to build a
power plant under, contract to
the AEC. : .
Dixon just turned 50 in De
cember. He's been a top power
officialfor 10 years, and his
story could bacalled a typical
American success story. He nev
er went to college," but he's
risen from a $75-a-month junior
clerk to a $75,000-a-year presi
dent. The first job Dixon had was
with Electric Bond and Share
Co. of New York. He did a little
bit of everything, from sweep
ing out the office on up. He
moved ahead fast. In 1935, he be
came secretary and treasurer of
Electric Power and Light Corp.,
and nine years, later was presi
dent of the firm.
When Middle South Utilities
was formed in 1944, Dixon be
came president, a job he still
holds. ..... . ;. v' .'

Sinatra, Daughter
Return To States
Hollywood (U.R) Crooner
Frank Sinatra and his 14-year-old
daughter Nancy, returned
by plane : last night from Aus
tralia where the singer recently
completed ? a personal appear
ance tour.
" The: singer's former wife,
Nancy, met the couple at the
airport. She talked with Sinatra
for a few moments, then led
their daughter away. .
Sinatra denied reports of a
budding romance between his
daughter and crooner Bing Cros
by's 16-year-old son, Lindsay,
saying such talk was "ridicu
lous." -
'They're only kids," Sinatra
said. "There isn't anything to it."
JCs'DSA Award
Given Last Night
ToOttoEwaldsen
Otto Eweldsen, manager of
Swem's, was presented with the
1954 distinguished service award
of the Medford Junior Chamber
of Commerce at a dinner meet
ing at the Jackson hotel last
nieht. - ;
The award was in recognition
of his services as a member of
the school board, Army reserves,
business and civic organizations,
and for church work. He was
given a certificate" and key by
Dick Bowers, president of the
Javcees. who was master . of
ceremonies. . .
Among guests present was
John Dellenback, . Medford at
torney, who was winner of last
year's DS A award.
Dr. Elmo Stevenson, president
of Southern Oregon college, was
the speaker, and discussed the
value of man, giving criteria for
judging that value. Man himself
is unimportant, Dr. Stevenson
said, but what is important is
what a man gives to society.
Millionaires are not remem
bered for the millions they make
but for ! what they do with the
money, he said, and he likened
Ewaldsen . to the type of man
who gives of himself, ; of his
t i'm e .and services, without
thought of material reward.
The -Rev.-G.- H. Hillerman,
pastor of Zion Lutheran church,
gave the invocation.

a receding hair line Ah athlete
in his younger days, he now
makes woodworking and garden
ing his hobbies. He has a com
plete woodworking shop in his
Tenafly, N. J., home, and often
makes repairs around his house.
Dixon, like Yates, is a Repub
lican and believes the . Dixon-
Yates proposal is a good thing
for both government and taxpayers.
Yates is 74, went to a private
school and took an engineering
degree at. R u t g e r s. He- then
worked as an engineer on con
struction. "
The construction work" led him
into the power field. He was in
charge of construction of Ala
bama Power Company's first
hydro-electric plant .in 1912.
Eight years later, the firm called
Yates and made him vice-president
and general manager. He
later became vice president of
Southeastern Power and Light,
then' had the same title with
huge Commonwealth and South
ern.
Nodding Acquaintance
He was elected president of
the Southern Company in 1947
and chairman of the board in
1950.
Dixon and Yates had only
what has been described as a
"nodding acquaintance" before
getting together on the Dixon-
Yates proposal.
Yates first sought to interest
TVA in letting his firm build a
plant to sell TVA power but was
turned down. He was told to try
the AEC. - . ;
Then a' friend suggested that
a plant be built in the Memphis
area, where power was needed,
and that Dixon's firm might be
interested in joining such a deal.
And that's how Dixon and
Yates became Dixon-Yates.
