Nixon Lodge to Make Four Tennessee Stops
Washington reports Republican presidential hopeful Richard Nixon and running mate Henry Cabot Lodge may campaign in Tennessee four times before the November 8 election. Senator Howard Baker said two stops per candidate were requested, with Lodge likely drawing crowds in Oak Ridge and Nixon visiting Nashville or Memphis if Lodge appears in East Tennessee. Baker expects the Nixon Lodge ticket to carry Tennessee, noting Nixon’s relative unpopularity to Eisenhower but the likely weakness of Kennedy against Stevenson. The piece ends with an odd line about a chicken frank hot dog.

TVA plans largest generator ever to be built in TVA system
TVA announces a 60,000 kilowatt generating unit poised to be the largest ever built. Site options include near Barbourville Kentucky and on the Clinch River in East Tennessee. The plant would dwarf current units like the 2,275,000 kilowatt Gallatin units and the 600,000 kilowatt Paradise order. TVA also plans a second 500,000 kilowatt unit at Widows Creek Alabama. Chairman Vogel cites large Eastern Kentucky coal reserves as justification while TVA secures 89,000 acres for fuel and awaits final site decisions.
