GOP to Battle Redefining TVA Ask for Probe
Republican opponents of the administration's Tennessee Valley Authority program pledged to persist in their senate fight against the TVA act re definition. Senator Austin charged TVA with law violations, claiming it would spend up to 250 million dollars beyond its borrowing power and urged a thorough investigation before further changes. Senator Norris pressed a motion to clarify the law allowing TVA to buy existing plants and sell surplus power, and to expand borrowing authority to 100 million for five years. Democratic leaders hoped Norris would withdraw if debate dragged on, but he insisted on a vote. The NRA “must” bill remains pending behind Norris's proposal.

In Greenup Kentucky on May 9 two decayed bodies found in the big woods remained a mystery. Early reports tied the dead to Boyd Thompson and his son Alex, but Mingo County West Virginia officers later said they were in custody there. Silas B. Stegall, an itinerant basket weaver, had been indicted for killing the man and boy, pleaded not guilty and awaited trial next Wednesday. Sheriff Hatfield of Mingo telephoned that two men and a boy calling themselves Boyd and Alex Thompson were in custody, claiming travel through Greenup and Boyd counties months earlier. Thompson admitted past violence with a man named Taylor Fayne and his son, denying further violence. Commonwealth's Attorney L. H. Lyles sought to confirm the Thompson identity via a call with Ethel Thompson, 14, who said she was Boyd Thompson’s daughter. The WV man will be brought here as identity is established.
