! Group Clears
1 TVA of Fraud,
Waste Charges
i But GOP Minority
Says Demo Inquiry
3 Was ‘Whitewashed’
WASHINGTON, April 3.—The
Democratic majority of the joint
Congressional committee that in-
5 vestigated the Tennessee Valley
Authority today absolved it of
j charges of mism-aniagement,
waste, fraud and dishonesty.
Charges against the TVA made
.1 by its former chairman. Dr. A. E.
• Morgan, were described as "with-
out foundation." Six members
signed the majority report after
spending nine months and $75,000’
an the inquiry.
Three other committeemen, all
Republicans, issued a minority re-
port asserting that the investiga-
tion was a "whitewash" and that
no complete inquiry had been
made.
Morgan Criticized
Dr. Morgan was dismissed by
President Roosevelt when he re-
fused to tell the President the
the grounds for his charges
against TVA administration.
Board members David E. Lilien-
thal and Dr. H. A. Morgan acted
with "forbearance and dignity
during the severe strain to which
they were subjected," the major-
ity said. "This cannot be said ot1
Dr. A. E Morgan."
"The administration of TVA has
on the whole been economical and
efficient," the committee said. It
found that prior to 1938 the au-
thority's accounting methods were
“extremely unsatisfactory" but'
said the reorganization had cor-
rected that situation.
The invesigation leaves TVA
. just as It found it. Rep. Thomas
A. Jenkins, Republican, Ohio, as-
serted in an individual minority
report in which he said that the
majority made no constructive
suggestions.
Made Timid Suggestions
It finds only a few minor ir-
regularities and timidly suggests
a few minor changes" Jenkins
said. "If Congress accepts the ma-
jority report the TVA will feel
that it has been exonerated com-
pletely and will continue its ar-
rogance, bold tactics and its ex-
travagant program with .lillle re-. „
gard for the law and with no re-
gard for the rights of the people."
Joining Jenkins in the minority
report were Sen. James J. Davis,
Republican of Pennsylvania and
■ Rep. Charles A. Wolverton, Re-
publican of New Jersey.
The committee, headed by Sen.
Vic Donahey, Democrat of Ohio,
recommended that the TVA be
permitted to continue its construc-
tion program.
Those signing the majority re-
port were Donahey, Sen. Lynn J.
Frazier. Rernil'can of North Da-
kota, Harry H. Schwartz Demo-
crat of Wyom' and James M.

Lord Halifax said that the gov-

present efforts to create a "peace
front" against aggression.
Some difficulties, he said, have
arisen over the role of the Soviets
in the United European front be-
cause of the relations of certain
nations with the Moscow govern-
ment. The reference apparently
was to traditional Polish and Ru-
manian fears of the Soviets, par-
ticularly the fact that Rumania
acquired territory from Russia
after the World War.

The Soil Conservation Service
has been expanded to include a
broad scope of service, Louis P.
Merrill, regional conservator, told
a group of 30 Texas and Okla-
homa SCS experts at Hotel Tex-
as here today.
The meeting was for the inte-
gration of the Oklahoma area, rem
cently added to Region 4. Among
those conferring were Leo S. hue „
Wortman of Stillwater, Oklahoma which the House defeated
state co-ordinator, and the follow-
ing: area conservationists: Clyde

offered by Senator John Redditt
of Lufkin. The plan puts a $20,-
000,000 "ceiling" on pensions and
otherwise is similar to Sen. Olan
Van Zandt's plan which has been
defeated.
Governor O’Daniel’s broadcast
was one of his most aggressive.
He didn't even take time to call
off names of legislators at the
broadcast, heretofore an invari-
able custom.

"That's a very short time com-

The Administration crowd, on
the other hand, has failed pitifully
to protect itself. While fumbling
around with hopeless candidates,
the Administration has allowed
