TVA Directors Press To Halt Dixon Yates Project
Tennessee Valley Authority faced pressure as two of its three directors reportedly urged the administration to drop the Dixon-Yates plan as late as March. TVA supporters plan to use the disclosure in next week’s House fight to cripple the project. In other news, the House Commerce Committee voted 16 to 15 to exempt independent gas producers from Federal Power Commission regulation, reversing a 14-14 tie earlier. Annie Pearl Heaton’s daughter Dorothy, touring Mexico with teachers and students, will return to Bonham around June 15 to teach at Mission again this year.
