Browning Sees Roosevelt Favorable To Power Plan
Tennessee Governor Gordon Browning says President Roosevelt seemed favorable to his plan for federal and state action to take over privately owned utilities. A conference is set for 4 PM next Thursday with Browning, Roosevelt, TVA director Lilienthal, Morgan, and FCC's McNinch. Browning envisions a two‑part system: TVA buys generation and transmission. a non profit Tennessee power district buys distribution and allied facilities. The plan follows TVA's Chattanooga court victory and Willkie's proposal for federal purchase of southern properties. Browning notes Roosevelt's positive stance and says cooperation with Willkie’s challenge is possible if TVA supports it.
