McKellar pushes TVA funding and staffing controls
Senator McKellar of Tennessee proposes two measures demanding congressional oversight. The first would force TVA to come to Congress annually for operating funds, granting Congress strong control over the agency led by Lilienthal. The second would require Senate approval for most federal appointees earning 4500 dollars or more, potentially giving senators influence over 27000 workers including 600 TVA staff. Critics warn this would politicize management, disrupt war production, and intrude on TVA’s power system.

Crop Review Indicates Short Plantings Across Key Foods
A March 1 survey shows soybeans, peanuts, flax seed, dry beans, peas, sugar beets, potatoes, and sweet potatoes likely fall short of War Food Administration goals. Livestock feeds appear favorable, but overall acreage may reach 374 million, 6 million below last year and below targets, amid labor and machinery shortages and stricter draft deferments.
