Amendments, By the Associated Press. Whipped through the Senate, 59 to 19, the Norris bill, intended by its author to buttress the Termesses Valley Authority against further Fed- eral court injunctions, today went to the House, where delay was in pros- pect in the form of additional hear- ings before the Military Committee. No time has been set for considera- tion. Offered by Senator Norris, Repub- lican, of Nebraska, father of the Ten- nessee Valley industrialization experi- ment, the bill carried s score of amendments to the T. V. A. law de- signed to make certain that this agency has the right to help munici- palities acquire private power asys- tems and dispose of surplus power. The measure also doubled the original $50,000,000 bond issuing au- thority of T. V. A, but limited the money’s use to a five-vear period and the fulfillment of contracts made during the five-year period. Amendments Protective. The amendments, largely clarifying, would serve to bulwark the law against such decisions as that ren- dered by Federal Judge W. I. Grubb in Alabama, granting an injunction against the T. V. A. plans to buy cer- tain power systems in Alabama and against Public Works Administration proposals to lend funds to municipali- ties for buying systems from the BV Judge Grubb did not go into the constitutionality of T. V. A, but said it had exceeded the authority given it by Congress. Norris denied the Government was entering the power business under T. V. A. He contended it sold power to municipalities, and they sold to users. Senator Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa, said T. V. A. was making "so- cial development” uppermost in its program instead of the development | of flood control on the Tennessee. One amendment to the bill, offered by Secnator Couzens, Republican, of | Michigan, and approved, would re- quire T. V, A to adopt & uniform | accounting system. Several Repub- licans, including Austin of Vermont, had charged the Government agency with exceeding its spending authority by five times without utilizing any of the $50,000,000 bond authorization. Amendment by Logan. Another amendment also approved was proposed by Senator Logan, Democrat, of Kentucky. It would apply all the provisions of T. V. A. | to the Cumberland River and basin Logan said it was advisable to bring | the Cumberland within T. V. A's scope because both streams coursed through the same general area, and development of the Tennessee could not be completed without including the Cumberland No appropriation was provided for this step, but Logan suggested that when the time for money arrived, the 1 T. V. A. might request more funds Additional amendments proposed by { Norris and adopted included one to permit T. V. A. to engage in the manufacture of cheap chemicals for | destruction of weeds.
