CAPITAL REPORTER Raleigh At the north end of Fayetteville Street in Raleigh stands the Capitol, which houses the Governor’s office. Three blocks south, on the same street, stands the Insurance Building, which houses—ii. addi tion to others—the office of Louis V. Sutton, president of Carolina r *» Light Company and head of the Edison Institute, the private power companies' research end propaganda organization. Those three blocks make a lot of difference—or at least there's a sight of difference in the views of the two men separated by those three short city blocks. Last week both gentlemen con tinued their running commentary on the public-vs-private < power controversy. Governor Kerr Scott had his say Tuesday. CPandL President Sutton spoke his piece 1o the press Thursday. Shuffling the two sessions, you come up with something like this Scott says there is a lack of an “abundance of cheap power" in the State that is “choking the very progress of our State" Sutton says there “is no short age of power in North Carolina." Ih admits, however, that his eon:- j pany did not generate as much power as it sold in North Caro lina in 3 960. Opening oi Die Golds boro steam plant this year and adding to the Lumberton steam1 generating plant next year wiii add a billion and a half kilowatt hours of production, however, and will give CPandL a production ca pactity greater than it now is sell ing, Sutton explains.

Scot says the pi ivate power j companies have suffered from 1 "lack of vision” in not building i power plants that would produce, electricity tar in excess of that j now being used. He adds that sur- ! plus always has attracted more, Sutton says it is not economical-! !y sound “for a pou t cosipany to install generating facilities and keep them idle on the remote chance' th.it additional industry will come a long. ' We are not permitted to use capital and our revenue for such gambling,” he iidds. And that's just a sample Sum med up even more briefly, it seems to come about this: Without government loans to! finance REA cooperatives, rural electrification would be a long way front its present advanced stage. The Governor says the pow er companies now regret their “mistake” in listening to ongi- ! in ers who said it was impractical to build rural lines These lines have doubled in the amount of i lectrieity used each five years. Sutton says the private' companies have no quarrel with the rural e lectric coops “in fact,” he says, "they’re our best customers." The governor who said he did ‘not necessarily" favor national isation of the power companies— gives the impression that he wants to see plem.v of cheap powet on hand regardless of who furnishes it. He says he would rather see private industry do the ■job, but that the government must step in if industry refuses, lb' sees nothing wrong in the gov ernment providing competition to private industry through such de velopments as I'VA On the other hand, Sutton I seems convinced that the govern- i merit is trying to take ovpr pri vate industry He is opposed 1.o | the building of multi-purpose J dams I! they are to be built any-j way, howevet ,he wants the pow- j it produced by them t > be chan-1 ueled out through the private I power companies He does ool ! want the government building1 transmission lines lie makes a well-taken point that private industry operates more efficiently and more eco nomically than government Sut ton also admits that the consum er is the one who, after all, pays the power companies' taxes.
