McNamara's TFX Award Said Hot 'Supportable' Use Of Federal Troops In Southland Threatened By Kennedy WASHINGTON (UPD-A for mer Pentagon employe said today that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara had "no real support able" technical case for awarding the TFX fighter plane contract to General Dynamics Corp. Albert W. Blackburn, a former Marine major and test pilot who worked on the TFX contract, also implied that in the final compcti live round. General Dynamics copied most of the superior de sign features submitted in a rival bid by Boeing Co. i "All of the imaginative acrody- namic fixes devised by Boeing in their third submission...somchow found their way into the final General Dynamics design to a de gree of similarity that would hard ly be a coincidence," Blackburn declared. The statements were contained in a memorandum prepared March 1 by Blackburn before he resigned from his Pentagon post March 25. It was released by the Senate Investigations subcommit tee, which Is looking Into me dis puted multi-million dollar award. Blackburn worked in the office of Dr. Harold Brown, the Penta gon's chief of research. He was responsible for coordinating the TFX program In Drown s oince. Blackburn said McNamara's de. cision reversing unanimous mili- tary recommendations favoring the Boeing design had a damaging impact on the morale of hundreds of professional military men as sociated with the program. Heaid the Defense Department cniei owed it to the personnel in volved "as a matter of loyally to nis own organization" to state his WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi-' federal troops to enforce racial dent Kennedy said Wednesday he would be reluctant to order fed eral marshals or troops to enforce desegregation of the Alabama State University but he would have "no choice" other than to defend the court order to admit Negroes. The President told a news con ference that he hoped Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace would also rely on federal court deci sions concerning school desegrega tion. Wallace, who has vowed to physically block school integration real reasons for selecting Gcnoral if necessary, has asked the U.S. Dynamics over Boeing. I Supreme Court to forbid use of order. "I hope the law-abiding people of Alabama will follow the judg ment of the court and admit the students," Kennedy said He said that "every other state in the country has integrated its state university" and he hoped Alabama would follow suit. "These decisions must be en forced." Kennedy said. He said he cannot believe that Wallace "wants us to send federal troops" or marshals to do this. But the President emphasized that he is "obligated to carry out the court order" which Wallace has threatened to block. Kennedy spoke in reply to a question as to whether he would use federal marshals or troops in Alabama as he had in Mississippi to enforce desegregation of the university if Wallace carried out his threat. "I hope this will prove unneces sary." Kennedy said, "i hope this can be settled by the local au thorities in Alabama." Other highlights of the news conference: On wheat, he said he did not know what the political conse quences would be of the defeat of his plan in Tuesday's referen dum. He said there would be an other chance for a wheat referen-1 dum next year and that mean while it could be seen what the economic effect would be from the choice made by the farmers, who turned down administration proposals to couple strict controls with price supports. He said defeat of the wheat program will have little effect on prices paid by the consumer. Kennedy said the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis tration "will make the final judg ment" on whether there will be another space flight in the Proj ect Mercury program. He said the Mercury astronauts told him while they were in town earlier this week that they feel another be worth-while andithat the United states m.sm,,- planning to abandon us budniw amo Naval Base in Cuba.

Now, 31 major dams make up the integrated water control system in the Tennessee Valley for flood control, navigation and power, and one major dam Is under construction. The fol lowing dispatch traces TVA's origin, progress, its effect on the people and its potentials.) By LARRY BOWMAN United Press International KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UPI)1 Thirty years ago this June, when (he nation was gripped by thej grcai depression, three men sat duwn on fruit crates in an un furnished hotel room in Washing ton to start an experiment. That was the first meeting of the board of the Tennessee Val ley Authority an agency cursed violently by many, praised high ly by many, and understood bet-' ter by the citizens of India, Is-i rael, Viet Nam or Thailand than! by most Americans. Thirty years ago Hugh Bumpus was one of 10 children growing up on a hard-scrabble tenant farm in west-central Tennessee. It was an area of rocky soil and little hope. A. J. (Rcdl Waaner had ust' I been graduated from the Univer sity of Wisconsin. He had grown up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, and when he was 19 he and a friend toured the Tennessee mountains. He wondered then why it was so hard to find fresb milk in the restaurants. Bumpus and Wagner are two Americans who know TVA and live it daily. But ask each of them his definition of it, and you'll get two different answers. The majority of Americans who think of TVA at all seem to re gard it as something that start ed during the Franklin D. Roose velt era something vaguely "so cialistic that produces electric- ity and controls Hoods in one lit- Caiendar tie pocket of the nation. When A. E. Morgan, Harcourt A. Morgan and David E. Lilien thai sat down in that Washington hotel room 30 years ago they didn't need desks or fancy furni ture. They were setting up a gov ernment agency that had little to do with Washington and would be responsible lo the. President and the congress for results. The law establishing the Ten nessee Valley Authority specified that its headquarters be remote from Washington, placed among the people with whom TVA was to work. And contrary to what seems to be a general impression, TVA was not a depression-born idea of the Roosevelt New Deal. Thirty years earlier, in 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt vetoed a bill for private development of the Muscle Shoals power site on the Tennessee River. The TVA idea was not simply to control floods, generate elec tric power, conserve and use nat ural resources or operate the huge fertilizer plants at Muscle Shoals. Roughly, the job was to take an area of the country that was in bad shape economically, agn culturally and industrially and create opportunities where none existed. ICQ Some control had to be estab lished immediately over the Ten nessee River 650 miles of rag ing water once called America's "worst river." T h e Tennessee, formed just above Knoxville by the junction of the llolston and the French Broad Rivers, drains 42.000 square miles from the Ap palachian Mountains in the east, down into Alabama cotton coun try, north through western Ten nessee and into the Ohio River near Paducah, Ky. Dams were built and are stili building. Hugh Bumpus, the man who grew up on a tenant farm near Waveily. Tenn., tins area. is working in After the war, Bumpus had lit tle use for the heartbreak of try ing to make corn and hay grow in rocky ground. But he knew nothing else. He got a job working on TVA's Johnsonville steam plant near his home. The work was new to him, but he had a talent for working with iron and steel, and TVA's apprentice program encouraged this talent. Now, Bumpus is a highly skilled iron worker muk ing $4.20 an hour on construction on the Bull Run steam plant near the electricity gobbling facili ties of the Atomic Energy Com mission at Oak Ridge. "To me, it's a real satisfaction to look at these things and know 1 helped build them," he said.

But the scientists had no way to get their knowl edge to the farmers who had no money to buy the fertilizer that no one was producing. TVA had the Muscle Shoals mu nition plants that were designed to produce fertilizer in peacetime. This work is now one of the biggest though least publicized of TVA endeavors. Production of low-cost electric power and creation of a market for it was one of the basic aims of TVA from the beginning. World War II made the valley more important than the nation knew at tho time. It was here the government carried on its se cret work on the atomic bomb because of the availability of vast loads of electric power from TVA at Oak Ridge. TVA is the last big market for coal. It preaches forestry, indus try, agriculture, power, water conservation. It has eliminated malaria in the Tennessee Valley. It promotes outdoor recreational facilities. And in the end. It gives away, nothing but advice. Red Wagner, the present chair man of tho TVA directors, has. pent all his professional lite with . the agency. TVA is in no sense a 'do good' agency," he said. "The future of this region in manufacturing is way beyond what any of us has yet visualized, and the beauty of It Is that there is room to plan. We don't have to build industrial slums. We can see years ahead. Salary Bill Review Asked SALEM' (UPI) - Tlie House Wednesday ordered bigger pay raises for college teachers and probably for state employes. The House voted 39-20 to send a trimmed salary bill back to the Ways and Means Committee (or restoration of some o( the money. The bill involves money tor sal ary improvements over and above built-in step increases. It would have provided $1.5 mil lion for teachers at state colleges and universities, cut $500,000 from the governor's request, plus $3.4 million for Mate employes, cut I $814 ,000. j Those urging restoration of the I money argued that better pay is essential to keep high caliber teachers on the campuses and ex perienced personnel in the state's oflices. Rep. John Mosser, R-Bcavcr- ton, who early in the session vo ted to reduce the number of teachers at state colleges, said half of the $1.6 million saving should go to the remaining teach ers as salary improvements. Members of the Ways and Means Committee discussed the conflict between improving pay, and keeping within a tight budget. Itep. Stafford Hansel!, R Hermis ton, said he considered it an over statement to say that college fac ulty receiving as much as $15,000 to $25,000 were grossly underpaid. It will be up to the committee to decide exactly how milch mon ey to restore. 69' BBS? Sunkist Lemons Bell Peppers Cauliflower Full of juice Doz.
