THURSDAY, NOV. 22, 1934 TVA ECONOMY PLAN OUTLINED (Continued from Page One) that the real controls are to be placed. Up in those hills there are dams in construction and in the process of planning that shall make up the unified system of control that will effectually harness the giant for all time. From the Great Smokies, where the annual rainfall reaches the stu pendous total of some 90 inches comes the Hiwasee and the Little Tennessee to pour the drainage of the hills toward the Ohio. From North Carolina pours the French Broad. From Virginia comes the Clinch and the Powell, strong feed ers all, pouring their soil-stained floods to make up the parent stream. , Tile Norm Dam On the Clinch River the Nor r is Dam is being built. And the Nor ris has been called the heart of the TVA. With the building of the dam go many experiments in the making of a planned economy. And in the dam itself lies the key to the control of the Tennessee. For this will be the main point in the building up of water reserves. When the 'dam is finished the wat ers will spread out into a gigantic reservoir having some 80 square miles of surface area and 800 miles of shore line. As flood waters pour down from the mountains, the impounded wat ers will creep back into the folds of the hills in bays and estuaries to remove the menace of flood from the river towns below and at the same time act as, a reserve supply for the lower dams when the river shrinks. On the Powell, the Hi wasee, the Little Tennessee and the French Broad, construction jobs and plans mark the maps, more systems of reservoirs, more curbs on the rushing Tennessee, evening the flow of power to make pos sible the building of an established order in the Tennessee Valley. When the system of dams and reservoirs is finished, navigation between the points of control wil be a sure and predictable business. No longer will the might of the river be spent in roaring freshets, carrying houses and villages to de struction, gouging away greSt areas of farm lands. Impounded in the reservoirs, the waters will be fed down through the dry seasons to keep the river at a normal level, making possible planned navigation and supplying an even and surej flow of power over the rises to the little towns and the rural popu lation of the hills. Even Flow of Power And it is this even flow of power that is valuable. From the office of the Tennessee River Regulation come the figures that tell the story, of primary or dependable power, the economic and useful flow for real needs, and the secondary or( "dump" power that spills over! dams in the rainy seasons to waste its energy or give in a measure NEW BUS LINE Now Operating Between Asheville, Brevard, Highlands' and Franklin READ DOWN READ UP P.

Upon the base of river control rests the whole structure. For the Tennessee Valley, being a cross section of the nation and depen dent upon the river for so much, must, if it is to emerge as the val ley of plenty, be served by a river under the control of man. The giant Tennessee must become the obedient and trained servant of man if the whole valley is to re flect in prosperity and order the munificence of power that lies in the sinuous loops of the Tennessee. Around this control of the river the whole fabric of the TVA pat tern is being woven. The plan has been called the most ambitious and promising ever attempted in this or any country, an experiment to prove that a planned economy is possible. Private Power Interests Against this gigantic governmen tal experiment the private interests are making their claims and ac cusation. Some of these companies have records of fine achievement behind them. All of them watch the progress of TVA with interest, concern, sometimes even alarm. Some of them are outspoken in their statements that the Govern ment's power program will cause incalculable loss to private indus try, will increase unemployment and will place large and unneces sary burdens upon taxpayers and will on the whole retard recovery. To these claims the TVA leaders reply that the vast Tennessee Val ley power system must be con sidered a "yardstick" to measure what can actually be accomplished in the reduction of rates and the spread of electrical consumption By planning and unification. Rather an Experiment Only the Government of the United States, say these men, can handle such a vast and compre hensive unification. And only by such unification of river control and power development can real ecnomy be effected. No system of public utilities has yet been de veloped to work out such an ex periment. The TVA, they point out in this connection, is not a government challenge to private enterprise, but rather an experi ment of national significance. . On the maps of the district the plan grows distinct and blear, mark ed by the notches of dams and net works of wires turning the blind and mighty rush into a wave of power to flow back munificently over the whole area. In this fact lies the importance of the planned control of power houses and dams. It is the foundation of the New Deal in the Tennessee Valley, sup porting the rest of the structure, supplementing and completing the whole of the planned system. Meanwhile private industry watches and waits for the plan to develop, to see to what uses this "yardstick" will be put, to see whether this is but an experiment in national planning or the signal of the incursion of the Federal Government into the public own ership field.
