Morgan, TVA Chairman, bluntly told President Roosevelt and other executives today that the in- quiry into TVA troubles was an “alleged process of fact finding.” Morgan has charged Harcourt A. Morgan, David E. Lilienthal and other TVA board members with grave irregularities. Chairman Morgan refused to an- swer direct questions by President the peace,” said the French Premier.

Flat refusal of Italy to take ac- tion to guarantee Austrian inde- pendence is interpreted in France as likely to force the termination of Italy-British conversations and make Great Britain join France in saving the Czechs.
