Power Starts Hoover Board Short Circuit
Hoover commission splits over government power policy with five members urging private sale of dam power under long term contracts while five others oppose the approach as a policy question outside the commission’s legal reach. Acheson criticized a task force report for a private utility slant. The group also proposed prioritizing public dam uses, housing and farm credit reforms, and a national system of mortgage discount banks to bolster housing finance.
