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

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.

would be reluctant to order fed

State University but he would
have "no choice" other than to
defend the court order to admit

The President told a news con
ference that he hoped Alabama
Gov. George C. Wallace would
also rely on federal court deci

Wallace, who has vowed to

"I hope the law-abiding people
of Alabama will follow the judg

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

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

"I hope this will prove unneces

Controversial Tennessee Valley Project Conceived In Depths Of 'Great Depression'
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The Ten
nessee Valley Authority (TVA)
Act became law May 18, 1933.
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.

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 look at these things and know

The river was stripping away
the fertile soil of the mountains
and the red clay of tho cotton
lands and pouring it into the Ohio
and Mississippi. It was single-

phate and lime. 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.
