SUPREME COURT
WILL ARGUE TV A !
DECISION FRIDAY j
On March 1 the Supreme court I
of the United States wil argue the
legality ef the TYA to compete 1
with private compares in selling
power.
the adverse decision against j
the TVA, bringing to a head the I
efforts of the privaie companies
to pat the Authority "on the
spot'*, was ruled by Judge Grabb,
of Alabama, last week.
The Knoxville Journal Saturday
quoted David E. Lilienthal,
TVA diiector, as saying, "the
trial judge's ruling is virtually
confined to the meaning of the
words 'surplus power' as used in
the act, holding that by these
words Corjgress did not confer upon
the authority the powers the
TVA believes Congress grant :d
it."
The story said Lielientha looked
on the ruling as a TVA victory.
