A CONFEREES PUSH T.Y. A AGREENENT McSwain Expects Little Trouble in Ironing Out Lifficulties. By the Associated Press. A drive shaped up yesterday Lo rr?sr the controverted Tennessee Valley amendments from the legislative siate this week. The way to speeding the bill to Lhel White House was opened by the re-| turn to Capitol Hill of Chairman Mc- Swain of the House Military Affairs Committee, head of the House man- agers in the conference with the Sen- ate. He said he expected “relatively little” trouble in effecting an agree- ment on House and Senate differences | over éhanges in the administration’s| power “yard-stick” program. He looked for Senator Smith, Dem- ocrat, of South Carolina, chairman of the Senate conferees, to call & meeting the first of this week. | Two Controversial Points. | McSwain expected some CONtroversy in conference on at least two points. They were: | A provision in the Senate bill that | would let T. V.

A. to get rid of all real prop- erty not essential for projects already approved or under way. “The House took the position, and 1 firmly believe,” McSwain said, "mu“ it would not be constitutional for T.| V. A. to go into the business of buy- ing and selling power facilities any more than for it to engage in buying and selling shoes.” He said one major purpose of the | Patricide BLAMES FATHER'S CRUELTY FOR SLAYING. - :!ll.um FLOWERS, d Florence, S.

Fitted Likewise, McSwain said, the Senate bill opened the way for the Govern- ment to be loaded down “with a lot of white elephants,” since it provided that if T. V. A. did not dispose of any private generating or distributing sys- tem in five years, it was to come to Congress and report its inability to find a purchaser. The House provision on disposition of unneeded real estate was aimed pri- marily at two small tracts T. V. A. acquired in the middle of an area in the little Tennessee River basin, which the Aluminum Co. of America planned | to flood eventually for a reservoir. it was contended in hearings that the land was acquired so the company would be compelled to co-operate with the authority in its development pro- gram. Another provision in the House measure would give the agency the right to pass on future dams and appurtenant works on the Tennessee River or its tributaries to assure a unified development of the basin.

Nothing serious, but misde- { right to meet are all free,” Gov. Bibb Graves today vetoed the Street anti- | sedition bill sponsored by the Ameri- |can Legion in Alabama for the ad- | mitted purpose of combatting Com- | munistic activity in Alabama. The bill, bearing the veto message, was sent back to the Alabama House of Representatives yesterday, where action was deferred to enable mem- bers to attend the funeral of Repre- sentative C. E. Segrest, who died Wednesday. Reports that House members had been informed he would not object to having his veto overridden drew a denial from Gov. Graves. ‘The Street bill prohibited the | printed or uttered word advocating | overthrow of the Government by force or violence, making the offense a mis- demeanor. Alabama’s present an- archy law makes it a felony. “I think we now have our law books as strong along this line as we can write,” the Governor sald in his veto message. “To pass more laws on this line 15 to say to the worid— we have no faith in our courts—we have no faith in ourseives—in our ability to execute the laws of our| State, ® * * “We are taught to ‘know the truth and the truth will make us free.'
