Integration May Be Power Peace Solution
In Little Rock on December 24, Frank Wilkes of Southwestern Gas and Electric Co urged a plan to integrate private and government power systems as a peace measure in the Southwest. A proposed contract between the Southwestern Power Administration and 13 private electric companies would unify power from private utilities and government dams, subject to Interior Department approval. SPA would market power from government plants while private firms and Rural Electric Cooperatives attended a conference to mend private and public power differences. Arkansas figures urged complete integration to attract industry, while Arkansas Power and Light Co. said power shortages were not anticipated.
