TVA System Comes Through Flood Peril With Honors
TVA engineers credited with preventing over 50 million dollars in flood damage at Chattanooga and at the Oak Ridge Atomic Energy Installations during the last ten days of January. Rainfall surpassed normal, and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s upstream dam system controlled storage and release to minimize damage. The record referred to Eisenhower’s call for broader river valley flood-control planning and signaled potential changes in TVA leadership. A Frederick De Molay meeting in the same report pages notes a talk by Joseph Jordan of the Treasury Department and a screening of Crime Does Not Pay.
