...navigation and flood control instead of to power development, thus reducing TVA's yardstick for private power rates to pure "subterfuge." Until last week neither utility men nor the public knew just what equations TVA did use in working out its rates. Last week, as the joint House-Senate investigating committee and its counsel, Francis Biddle, squared away to look into this and many another TVA question, the President sent to Congress a long-awaited report from TVA's financial committee on cost allocation. At last they show just where the notches on the Authority's yardstick...

By day's end they had found one, which was quickly ratified by the four big organizations-American Jewish Congress, American Jewish Committee, Jewish Labor Committee and B'nai B'rith.

Because Vic Donahey knows he is not a born inquisitor like such famed Senators as Black, Wheeler, Nye, La Follette and the late Tom Walsh, his committee last week retained a paid inquisitor just as the Senate's Wall Street investigation in 1933-34 hired Lawyer Ferdinand Pecora. The TVA committee's choice: Francis Biddle, 52, a Philadelphia lawyer...
...widespread destruction. Following week the Spanish Leftist cities of Alicante and Granollers were blasted unmercifully. Listed victims: 600 dead, 1,500 wounded, women and children predominating. So last week, unanimous Big Protest Series No. 3 was issued so simultaneously from London, Paris and Washington as to seem suspiciously like joint action...
