POWER BODY HEARS | OLD LICENSE CASE Pinchot Enters Fight Waged: Over Development in Vir- ginia County. With Pennsylvania making a late | entrance into the fray through Gov. Gifford Pinchot, noted conservationist, the six-year-old dispute over the form | of license to be granted the Appa- | lachian Electric Power Co. for a | $11,000,000 development on New River | in Pulaski County, Va. today was in | the hands of the New Federal Power Commission for adjudication. ‘The commission’s hearing on the license application of the Appalachian Electric wound up yesterday, after two days had been given over 10 taking testimony. As it was concluded Penn- sylvania came in with a protest against the modified license sought by the com- | peny, which is supported by the States of Virginia and West Virginia, which | New River travers Arkansas, Ten- | nessee and Kentuck, Federal Power Outlined. Basing its contention on the fact | that New River is non-navigable. the | Appalachian asserts that the Federal Government can.cxact nothing further in a license than is necessary to safe- guard navigation in the Kanawha, into which the New River flows. other regulatory powers, it holds, &hould be vested in the States. This also is the stand of the States—Vir- ginia and West Virginia. as particu- Jarly interested parties, and the other three States, because of the effect the ruling in this case will have on power developments in their own domain Previous commissions have held that | because the flow of the New River could affect the navigability of the Kanawha, tke Federal Government should assume entire regulation of the project. which would include control of its financial set-up. Gov. Pinchot lines up with this view. | In his formal protest to Chairman Smith of the commission, he asks for | permission to file briefs opposing issu- ance of a minor part license (covering | navigation only) instead of the regular license provided by law and your rules.” Request Is Granted. In a telegram, he asked the commis- | sion to withhold a decision until Penn- sylvania’s brief could be submitted, and said a preliminary brief would be sub- mitted immediately. | Chairman Smith said the brief would be welcomed, and granted the request for time. He later said any one wishing | to file briefs would have until February 28 to come in with them. He does not expect a decision for several weeks. ‘W. E. Carson, chairman of the Vir- ia Conservation Commission, who been one of the leaders in the fight * on what has been termed the Govern- ment’s infringement of States’ rights in the New River case, repeated again yes- terday that Virginia would do all in her power to prevent the Government from full control of the proposed gmjecfi From the company, too, through W. Scheidenhelm, its engineer, came | a veiled threat that the project would | be abandomed unless the company’s| terms for license were complied with.
