A—6 #» CRERCION CHARGED) VA NSUT Contracts in Jackson Won by Threats, Injunction = Action Holds. Charging that municipal officials in the Tennessee Valley Authority area have been coerced into signing con- tracts for T. V. A. power by threats that public works funds would be withheld or withdrawn, the West Ten- nemsee Power & Light Co. of Jackson, Tepn., filed suit in District Court to- day to enjoin both P. W. A. and T. V. A. "from proceeding with a proposed municipal power project in Jackson. Justice Joseph W. Cox signed a 10- day temporary restraining order to prevent P. W. A. furnishing to Jack- son any of the $663,000 already allos cated to the city to build a municipal elegtricity distribution system and to prevent T. V. A. contracting with the city to furnish it with power. The company alleged there is s eonspiracy between P. W. A and T-V. A. to further the sale of T. V. A. wer in the 42,000 square miles cf trrnory which it is proposed for T. V. A. to serve. In furtherance of this plan, the Public Works Admin- $tration has attempted to induce ¢ities to build distribution systems and 18 attempting to cause the Legislatures &f Tennessee and Mississippi to en- gct numerous bills to further the pro- @am, the company charged. 3 Fourteen such bills have been intro- duced in the Tennessee Legislature gecently, it was asserted. £ The company declared that T. V. A. @lready has constructed a transmis- @lon line into Jackson, which is using fts power through a partial distribu. #on system for street lighting and @ther municipal purposes. § The court was told that the Federal Qower program Wwas unconstitutional, olating the fifth amendment, and Ent the Jackson project would jeop- dize the company’s $1.500,000 invest- ent in Madison County, where Jack- fin is located.

WICHITA, Kans, October 13— President Roosevelt's address here to- day follows: If I ever write another book I am going to have a chapter in it about bedtime stories—political bedtime stories. It will be a very amusing chapter. I am going to fill it with whispering ghosts and stalking bogeymen and I am going to end the chapter by telling how the American men and women on the third of November, 1936, re- fused to be frightened by fairy tales. You folks do not look & bit scared to me. The Republican leaders have told you all kinds of things about what this administration is trying to do. They have tried to spread the gospel of fear not only in the factories, which is an old shop- worn trick, but this year they are even trying to bring fear into the homes and firesides of America. But I know that the people of this country have not such short memories, They remember only too well the real fear—the justified fear—felt all over the Nation in 1932, to be frightened by this silly false fear which is now being preached. The leaders who are trying to do it are the very ones whose blindness to facts and re- fusal to act caused the real fear and the real danger of national disaster in 1032, What this ad- ministration has done since 1933 to clear up the debris which had been left over by 12 years of neglect Repair Your Home Now—For Winler Save expen - sive remodel. ing later on ter Is just sround th eorner.

You know what the devil-take-the-hindmost policy of the nineteen twenties brought down upon our heads. You know that the vast speculative gains of a few were made without any regards to the deep injures which they were causing to the great masses of our people. In the Spring of 1933 these same speculators pleaded with me for help—help of any kind, just so long as it would save them from bank- ruptcy. Most people thought that they had learned their lesson. We hoped that they would join with our average citizens in working for some kind of security against a recur- rence of those panic years. Yet here they are—three years later— giving vagye lip service to that word security and, at the same time, seeking to block, to thwart and to annul every measure that we have taken to restrain the kind of indi- vidualism which hurts the com- munity itself, individualism run amuck. I use this word security not in the narrower sense of old- age pension-and of unemployment insurance, fine as these objectives sre, I use it in the broader sense At government and for freedom to ‘worship God in their own way. That philosophy has been the philosophy and the practical objective of your n at Wash- ington. I do mot seek to discuss with you the pros and cons of your local government or of your State government in Kansas. You know more about that than I do. Let me say only, and in very simple terms, that I do not belleve that Kansas would have pulled through the dif- ficult problems of the past four years as splendidly as it has had it not been for Federal co-operation and Federal assistance in many flelds of your endeavor. If you think we were wrong to give this assistance, then to be logical you must ask that in the days to come every State in the Union shall set itself up as an individual entity for the solution of all of the problems of all of its inhabitants, save pos- aibly the maintenance of the Army, the Navy and the handling of our foreign a Our broader inter pretation of security and of the methods of procuring it is well illustrated by what you have seen us do. Our endeavors have fallen into three broad cl cations. First, immediate and direct as- sistance, including work for the unemployed, help for drought areas, buying of drought-stricken cattle, building of ponds and ir- rigation projects, seed loans, ase sistance to the youth of the Na- tion and dozens of other instances, Secondly, protection ‘against recognized abuses of many kinds, including the battle of Federal Government against kidnaping, blackmail, bank robberies and other menaces to life and liberty; safeguarding innocent investors against fake securities, the regula~ tion of stock exchanges, regulation of overreaching practices of some utility companies and the estabe lishment of power yardsticks to force reasonable electric rates, elimination of unsafe banking practices. And thirdly, the reduction of in- terest rates, the saving of farms and homes from mortgage fore= closures, the insurance of bank deposits, the loans that have been made to keep railroads going, the assistance given to States, counties and municipalities, enabling them to build much needed, useful publie Stewart—A.

C. camps and farm-to-market roads. ‘These and many more like them give you a broad picture of the more permanent and long-range measures, many of which will im- 2 prove not only your lives, but those of your children. ‘There has been at one time a school of thought in this country that would have us believe that those vast numbers of average citivens who do not get to the top of the economic ladder do not deserve the security which Govern- ment alone can give them. And hand in making our natienal economic policies. That school of thought left Washington on March 4, 1933. ‘The farmers of the Nation are & good example of what Government can do, not only in direct hejp, but in providing security for the future. From a state of collapse in 1932, agriculture has not only been brought back to life, but has re- ceived the encouragement of Gov- ernment which enables it to face the future with confidence. Is there among the many farmers in this audience a single one who would want to go back to the un- co-operative formula—the rugged individualism, the economic free- dom of 1932? Don't you and your wife and your children look forward to a safer, better future today than you did three and a half short years ago? I have used farming as an {llustra- tion of greater security because Kansas is a great farming State, You know, however, that the min ing areas and the live stock areas and the industrial areas of the country are likewise receiving their share of a greater security. Every part of the Nation shares it to- gether. Last April in New York I dared to talk farming to & New York City sudience. I told them that one of the best things that had come out of these three years was the realization by city dwellers that they could not be prosperous “until the farmer was also pros- ‘perous. , - In the same way I bave dared to {talk to people in great agricultural States about the needs of the in- dustrial workers in the big cities and how closely their welfare is tied “up with the lot of the farmer. People who are spreading the gospel of fear talk about setting ness to another class. I deny this, ‘They all belong to the same class, for the very simple reason that none of these occupations can sur- vive without the survival of the others. The people who talk about these class distinctions are the very ones who are encouraging class an- tagonism. For they tell one story in the East and another story in tne West; one story in the city and another story on the farm. That is not my way and never wil be my way. We are coming through a real national crisis with flying colors. We have not lost our self- Tespect. We have not changed our form of government. We have & net national debt which though greater in dollars is actually kss in proportion to the income of the Nation and in proportion to the wealth of the Nation than the national debt on March 4, 1933.
