Eighty Second Proves Most Costly Peacetime Congress
The Eighty-Second Congress, the most costly peacetime session to date, appropriated about $100 billion and raised taxes by $34 billion over nearly ten months. Despite large spending, it enacted few Fair Deal measures and extended military and economic aid, universal military training prospects, price controls, and defense housing, amid Cold War pressures and debates over Truman's program and Eisenhower's future plans.

Industrialists Hit Plan Against New River Dam
Virginia and West Virginia industrial interests urge the Federal Power Commission to deny North Carolina Electric Cooperative's bid to divert New River waters at Glendale Springs. The plan would fund a dam and 1000000acre reservoir to power a generating plant benefiting co op and local industry, threatening Celanese Giles County plant and broader regional development. The packed West Jefferson hearing heard opposition from business leaders, chambers of commerce, and state attorneys. The FPC is not expected to decide before March, with a delay likely.
