- TVATOSTESS DEFNSE NEEDS Authority Will Cite War Re- quirements to Sustain Point in Court. _— By the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, February 18 —Whipping together a picture of the Government's war-time projects at Muscle Shoals as still forming a keystone in national defense, attor- neys for the Tennessee Valley Au- thority indicated tonight that Mon- day the highly controverted power program would be presented in United States District Court here. The power program, on which the whole case is based, has not figured thus far in T. V. A's presentation | of its defense, except as it related to other aims. Three Objectives Cited. In nearly six days of testimony, eounsel for T. V. A. has sought to show that the authority's program is aimed at three major objectives, navigation, flood control and national | defense, with production of fertilizer and experiment and electricity only incidental to the general scheme. Dr. Harry A. Curtis, chief chemical engineer of the T. V. A, today de- clared the Shoals plants were not ob- solete, and in time of war could quickly be converted to production of nitrogen for ammunition and phos- phorus for chemical warfare. Army officers yesterday testified that n future wars phosphorus for smoke screens to hide troop move- ments would be an important factor. Was on Commission. Under questioning by Forney | Johnston, attorney for a group of pre- | ferred shareholders asking that the T. V. A. be restrained in its electrifi- cation program because of alleged un- eonstitutionality, Dr. Curtis said he was a member of the Coolidge com- mission in 1928 that made recom- mendations for disposition of the property. In the minority report Dr. Curtis testified he had recommended leas- ing the property to private interests under certain conditions.
