Witness Sued By Utility In Dixon Yates Controversy
Arkansas Power & Light Co filed a two million dollar slander suit in Little Rock against Arthur E. McLean, a Little Rock banker who testified that the utility was corrupt. Sen. Langer vowed not to be bluffed or intimidated and offered to defend McLean if needed. McLean welcomed the suit and said his defense would prove the truth of his statements about Arkansas Power & Light over years. The hearing also featured Sidney McMath describing the company as an unhealthy, powerful political influence aiming to crush opponents who recognize a people's side in the power dispute tied to Dixon Yates and a proposed private plant at West Memphis.
