TVA Cows and Cash Registers
Comptroller General J. R. Me
Carl, who is often and justly
termed the “Watchdog of the
Treasury,” has sent a report on
the Tennessee Valley Authority
to the President.
According to the Chicago Tri
bune News Bureau, the report
shows TV A has spent more than
$2,000,000 in an outright illegal
or questionable way, incurring
deficits in everything from power
plants to cafeterias and tossing
thousands of dollars around in an
offhand manner. It enumerates
among other things:
That TV A purchased cattle it
had been previously offered for
$200 per head, for as much as
$950 per head, and later sold
them for less than $200;
That each ofTVA’s directors
overdrew his salary by more
than $1,000;
That, in defiance of the law,
TVA set up its main offices in a
rented building costing $36,000 a
year, in Knoxville, after recon-
d i t i o n i n g the administration
building at Muscle Shoals, and
then hired and bought a fleet of
airplanes and cars to carry em-
ployes back and forth between
the two towns;
That the TVA passed off short-
ages of hundreds of dollars
occurring in its commissaries by
saying that children had played
with the cash registers;
That, while TVA is designed
as a rate yardstick for private

utilities and should lay aside
$1,000,000 a year for depreciation,
it has actually laid aside less
than $83,000
The report is in the President’s
hands. He will doubtless order
a full investigation, Then the
taxpayers will have an interest-
ing insight into the efficiency of
government in business and
learn where their money goes
when public officials are given
complete and unqualified control
of hundreds of millions of public
dollars.
Asks Extension of Aid To
Farmers in Dronth Area
Congressman George Mahon
has conferred with government
officials in Washington in an ef-
fort to secure an extension of
the aid that has been rendered
farmers of the drouth area. He
has been working with the Com
modities Purchase Section of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration and the Interstate Com
merce Commission regarding a
30 day extension of the reduced
freight rates on hay and feed
being shipped into the counties
that have suffered most from the
drouth. The agreement which
made possible the reduced rates
during the last few months ex-
pired May 31. The commodities
Purchase Section has included
131 mid-western counties in the
proposed area to be benefited, 60
of which are in West Texas.
He has also made an effort
through the Farm Credit Admin
istration and the Texas Relief
Commission tosecure an increase
in the amount of loan allowed
farmers for feed for livestock.
Mr. Mahou said: “Now that
rains have come over West Tex
a9, our farmers have an oppor-
tunity to bring themselves back
to a basis of prosperity if they
can only be carried over a few
more months until a new crop
can be raised. I believe that
those steps which the govern
ment has taken to help the
farmers in the drouth area
should not be withdrawn at this
crucial time, but should be con
tinued until returns from a new
crop can be realized.”
