Congress Urged To Schedule TVA Power Fund Plan WASHINGTON (API The General Accounting Office has suggested that Coneress set un i. schedule for the Tennessee Valley Authority to repay Government funds invested in its power oper ations. A report. by the Office's Corpora tion Audits Division said the out lay on power facilities accounted for more than $400,000,000 of the Government's $718,00(1,000 invest ment in TVA A House committee has i.-. I til I- mended that repayment be re quired from the 14-year-old TVA within 40 years President Tru man has estimated TVA repay- i nients from surplus operating rev- enues by June ltd will total almost $:io,wio (too ; The report, by Audits Division Chief T. Coleman Andrews, also I recommended: j 1 Thai TVA be required to , pay interest on the whole Govern- nient investment in its power nper- j ations, and that the rate be the current one paid by the Treasury about 2's per cent. The report said TVA now pays interest on only about $.1(i,.1()0 000 and the rate is only I per cent. I That TVA keep books on power operations separately from other aetivilies such as Hood con trol and resource development, thus insuring that power opera tions are self-supporting and will assure repayment of the Govern ment's investment. ti. That appropriations for Hood control, development, and other nonincome-producing programs be made separately so as to strengthen Congress' control over expenditures of funds derived from taxes in stead of power corporations. The report gave TVA's manage ment "highest commendation for Ihe effectiveness with which the ! Authority functions" and for "ac- i complishments in carrying out the objectives of the TVA Act." Now that you have caught up on "l.ydia Hailey," "B. F.'s Daughter." 'Miracle of the Bells." "Pavilion of Women." and "Toil of the Brave." let's look at some of the new books. The list looks interesting so take your choice. If it's the Royal Motilities you like there is "Mrs. Mike' hv Benedict and Nancy Free man. For the Steinbeck fans the "Wayward Bus" is the storv of a I stalled bus with the passengers re acting upon each other. Historical novels include "Gray Canaan" by David Garth, "Pere ntoine' by F. Murphy. "The Quarry" by Mildred Walker and "The Light Heart" bv Elswvth Thane. Our readers liked "Yankee Stranger' and "Ever After" and now you will want to read more about that family. I "Black Fountains" by Oswald Wynd is the Doubleday $20,000 prize award and a story of Japan. Nevil Shute has a new one called "The Checker Board," which is the story of three soldiers. II ynu like the "Lost Horizon" type then "Gardens to Eastward" by Harold Lamb may interest you. Personally I hate to have books compared to others for then I ex pect too much We can't mention all of the books, so watch for a list. ir.net Of Wrrrrinrt Wrr T .
