VAGE TWO THE NEWARK ADVOCATE AND AMERICAN TRIBUNE MONDAY. DECEMBER 1938 Single Administrator For TVA Advocated by Morgan Aid Government in Anti-Monopoly Probe BOOTLEGGING New Governor of Michigan Tells Labor What to Expect Fitzgerald Is Determined to Control Labor Organizations; Already Working on Program for Legislature. Grand Ledge, Dec. 5. Would Substitute One Man For Agency's 3 Directors Proposes Separation of Administrator from Sale of TVA's Power; Would Set Up Sales Agency.

Washington, Dec. 5. (AP) Dr. Arthur Morgan, ousted chairman of the Tennessee valley authority, has posed that a single administrator be substituted for the agency's three directors. He made the recommendation in a lengthy memorandum to the congressional committee investigating TVA.

It was made available today by one of the members shortly before Morgan resumed his testimony at the inquiry. The memorandum suggested that the administrator be divorced from the.sale of TVA's electric power. Such a reorganization, it was said, could have eliminated much of the friction between Dr. Morgan and Directors David E. Lilienthal and Harcourt A.

Morgan. It said that agricultural activi-1 ties of TVA, including fertilizer. PTAplf UAWniEDC reduction chief concern of 1 1 II. IV llrtllLILLilliJ Fitzgerald, who will succeed Governor Frank Murphy next month, said today that labor relations would be his No. 1 concern when he takes office.

Dec. 5. (AP) More than 600 stock handlers returned 1 on Sunday. to work in Chicago stock yard pens today, ending a strike which had tied up the nation's largest meat animal market for two weeks. Striking members of the CIO Stockhandlers local.

No. 567, who quit work Nov. 21, gave final acceptance yesterday to a peace proposal submitted by the Union Stock Yards and Transit company. The packinghouse workers' organizing committee approved the peace terms late Saturday night, and yesterday the stockhandlers voted almost unanimously to return to their jobs of feeding and caring for the animals in the yards. The agreement covers the following points: That the company recognizes the CIO as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent; that it will continue negotiations on wages, hours and working conditions and that it will put the agreements reached in writing.

He said He already was at work on his message to the legislature on labor relations. "My first concern shall be that the legislation and its administration shall be fair but stern," Fitzgerald said. "Labor will not run Michigan.

Michigan will control labor organizations. Neither labor organizations nor employers will dictate to the government. I am intent on seeing that working-men are protected both from radical leaders and selfish employers." He added that he was considering the advisability of legislation that would require notice of intention to strike, forbid picketing except by employes of a plant on strike, and outlaw any system of forced membership or payment of union dues. Gustav Wilmer Dies. Middletown, Dec.

5. (AP) Gustav A. Wilmer, 82, president of the Middletown Federal Savings and Loan association and a native of Dayton, died yesterday. WATCHES rector Harcourt Morgan snouia be "assimilated into the depart ment of agriculture." Meanwhile, Democratic members of the committee said they would ask for testimony from Senator Norris known as the "father of TVA" and Rep. John E.

Rankin leader of public power advocates in the house. This move was regarded as an effort to offset a barrage of criticism of TVA by Dr. Arthur Morgan and witnesses for private utilities at recent hearings. Bargaining Within Board. The former chairman said three-man administration of TVA had proved that there "is a strong incentive to bargaining and strategy within the board or within the staff." The single administrator could be advised, he said, by a board of specialists similar to directors of a private corporation.

Dr. Morgan said that when a single dam was used both for flood control and to generate power, there was a natural tendency toward conflict. He charged that Lilienthal had influenced H. A. Morgan so that TVA's flood control had been endangered by power programs.

"The actual policy of the TVA has been to treat flood control as a smoke screen which, along with navigation, would justify power development, but not fully to meet the responsibilities of flood control." Dr. Morgan said. Proposes Sales Agency. He contended a separate power i sales agency should purchase TVA power at wholesale, Thd should administer, distribute and sell it." The former chairman was caustic in his discussion of agricul- tural activities of TVA directed by H. A.

Morgan. "TVA propaganda to persuade the public that soil management is vitally and practically associated with the administration of flood control is essentially a misrepresentation based on partial and misleading data," he said. As an example of what he termed propaganda, Morgan cited "the powerful moving picture, The River' produced and distributed at public expense, with a contribution of $10,000 from TVA." PUBLISHER IS SLUGGED BY HITCH-HIKER Cincinnati, Dec. 5.

Stewart Berkshire, chief alcohol tax enforcer, reported today on the fifth anniversary of prohibition repeal that the volume of bootleg liquor continues to decline.

His men find illegal stills regularly, but he said the moonshine plants are getting smaller. When congress boosted the liquor tax last summer from $2 to $2.25 a gallon, treasury folk shivered a bit at the thought that the increased cost of the legal product might put new life into bootlegging. "We've watched very closely, and bootlegging has not increased since the tax increase," said Berkshire. "In fact, it is generally on the decline." On the question of liquor consumption, the treasury is noncommittal. Withdrawals of liquor from storage warehouses dropped about 2 per cent in the last fiscal year.

This might mean decreased consumption or merely a reduction in retailers' stocks because of the general business downturn. Representatives of temperance organizations said, however, they thought five years of repeal had dulled the public appetite for alcohol. They argued that consumption of liquor declined while sales-of soft drinks were reaching new record highs. Distiller organizations also conceded a possible drop in consumption of legal liquor, but blamed it on high taxes which they said were driving consumers to bootleg beverages. The fifth anniversary of repeal finds 44 of the 48 states permitting sale of hard liquor.

The exceptions are Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Mississippi.
