Showdown in Congress over Dixon Yates power deal
The House challenged the Dixon Yates private power contract with the AEC amid a dispute over TVA funds. Republicans sought to strike a 60 million dollar Fulton Tennessee Valley Authority plant provision from an appropriations bill to finance a transmission line for Dixon Yates power, arguing to avoid new commitments. Democratic and Republican members debated the contract’s purpose and impact, with Cannon condemning it as harming TVA and others defending the existing agreement and the overall power program.

Butler Carries Peace Tour Into Conservative Stronghold
National Democratic Chairman Paul Butler visited Fort Worth for a private breakfast at Amon Carter Field as part of a Texas tour to heal party rifts. Garner invited all Democrats to meet Butler at his Uvalde home Sunday, while Butler planned a noon speech in Tyler. The event drew liberal and conservative Texas Democrats, with attendees including multiple state representatives. Butler urged unity, attacked the Dallas Morning News, and defended his nationwide effort against the Texas press. In Tyler and Waco later, crowds were expected. Big Spring saw strong reception from party loyalists, amid tension with Governor Shivers loyalists and resignations from the Advisory Council. Butler refused a noon Texas governor invitation, citing schedule conflicts.
