HUTCHENS MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala., 7—In the face of open conflict with private power companies, the Tennessee Valley Authority is rap- idly electrifying the countryside | in the vicinity of Muscle Shoals with current from Wilson dam. Residents of four cities—Corinth | and Tupelo, Miss., Athens, Ala., and Pulaski, Tenn—as well as| scores .of farmers, the Authority| claims, are saving thousands of dol- | lars annually as a consequence o!‘ TVA rates. Plans of the Authority to pur- chase distribution systems in Ala- bama and at Knoxville, Tenn., have been halted. The restraint came in the form of suits filed ih Ala-| bama and Tennessee by coal and ice dealers and preferred stockhold-; ers of the private companies that propose to sell their systems. | Knoxville Tries Again ‘ In the face of that, the city of Knoxville took another path lead- | ing toward obtaining TVA power. ‘The city council voted to build a| municipal power distribution sys- tem and purchase current from the Authority. One contract for structures costing $197,575 was let and bids were sought for building the remainder of the system. Only in Mississippi has the TVA| hygdro-electric program progressed extensively without serious opposi- | lation, was the -Authority's first| municipal customer, contracting for Wilsen dam power last February.| I‘Ipdo Takes Contract Tupelo signed a 20-year contract with the .-Authority February 6, 1934, agreeing to purchase electric- ity at wholesale rates fixed by the TVA. The city further agreed to adhere to resale rates determined by the Authority. Under the contract, ‘the TVA is given general supervisfn of Tu- pelo’s power system which is op- erated as'a separate unit of the municipality. Athens, Ala., is another TVA cus- tomer which hab ifs own distribu- tion: system. Corinth Buys Power | Corinth, Miss, and Alcorn cotin- ty organized a co-operative electric power af rates that are about 40| per cent less than tHbse formerly paid. More recently the TVA move- ment gained further impetus in Mississippi when 21 cities organiz- ed te pefition the' Authority to| make power available to tbem ‘They are ' Alligatof, Calhoun City, Cleveland,” Friar Point, Greenville, Greenwood, Gunnison, Itta, Bena, Lambert, Merigold, Beulah, Coffee- ville, Duncan, Grenada, Houston, gindianola, Leland, Moorehead, Tun- ica, Rosedale and Shelby. Memphis Moves Toward TVA Memphis, Tenn., more than 300 miles from Wilson Dam, is the| latest major city to take decisive, action to secure TVA power.

REPUBLICAN PROBLEMS Even as things stand now, o one seems able to figure out how|$ a prolonged deadlock can be avold- ed when the Republicans come to- gether In their next hational con- vention. More dark horses than figured in the 1920 Republican deadlock * are edging info the picture.
