4 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY. MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1948. T.V. A. Region Demands Additional Power.

Tom Wallace Offers Parks 'Lesson9 To Bossmeyer On Expressway Panel G.O.P. Chiefs Want Delegates Uninstructed Kentucky Rural Co-ops of Aldermen "got all its information from engineers and never once consulted a park expert." He produced letters he received from Olmstead Brothers, Massachusetts landscape architects, saying they would not undertake the expressway because it would injure the parks. Bossmeyer countered that on the authority of the late Mayor E. Iceland Taylor, Olmstead Brothers were not hired because their fee was too high. Bossmeyer said Wallace's visits to State Highway Commissioner Garrett L.

Withers had a great deal to do with bringing plans for the expressway to a halt. Other arguments of Bossmeyer produces 10 times as much power today as in 1933. By January 1, he went on, there was electric service on 40 per cent Qf the farms in the Kentucky areas served by the five co-operatives distributing T.V.A. power in this state. This represents 22,000 customers, more than 16,000 of whom were given service for tne tjme by the co-operatives.

Extensions to serve 19,500 more consumers in the next five years are either under construction or planned, Clapp said. Completion of the Wolf Creek dam in 1952, he observed, could be expected to provide for" ad ditional Kentucky counties in the general vicinity of the project. The dam is being built by U. S. Army engineers on the Cumberland River.

Turning to T.V.A.'s activities in soil improvement, Clapp de- scribed its development of "iiigh analysis fertilizers in the mod ernized plants at Mussel Shoals, He said tfcat 40,000 farmers throughout the valley region and in 22 states outside the valley and Stuart in defense of the expressway: 1. All Louisvillians as well as visitors from out of town could enjoy Cherokee and Seneca Parks if the expressway were built, instead of just golfers and pick-nickers. 2. There is no better route for an expressway. 3.

The expressway would relieve traffic conditions in outlying areas so that residents of those areas could use their own streets. Davenport termed it "the height of opportunism on the part of the planners (of the expressway) to use what isn't theirs." He added that the expressway could not be a success without adequate parking facilities. He and Wallace charged further that the expressway would: 1. Divert commercial traffic on to park roads which were not designed as speedways. 2.

Serve no useful purpose as there is no difficulty now in getting in or out of Louisville. Stuart said the expressway would include only a very small part of Cherokee Park Beals Branch Road, "a swampy part where no one ever threw a picnic." Wallace asserted, "Never before today has Cherokee Park been called a swamp." He offered to drive through it with Stuart and Bossmeyer to give them a lesson on parks. Coroner Finds Child Died of Pneumonia Death of Edward Jessie Curtis, 6-week-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Curtis, was attributed yesterday to pneumonia by Deputy Coroner Joseph Beck.

Survivors are his wife, a sister, and three brothers. Says Aldermen Ignored Experts Tom Wallace, editor of The Louisville Times, offered Alderman Raymond F. Bossmeyer "a lesson on parks" yesterday as the two debated the question of Louisville's proposed eastern expressway. Other members of the Tri-City Forum on WGRC were F. Eugene Stuart, secretary-manager of the Louisville Automobile Club, who is for the expressway, and John Davenport, export manager of the Girdler Corporation, against it.

Wallace charged that the Board Reds to Woo Wallace Men Special From The New York Timet The Csurier-JeurnaL New York, April 11. The national board of the Communist Party has openly announced its intention of seeking party recruits from among adherents of Henry A. Wallace's third party. A board statement published In The Sunday Worker today said that some of Wallace's followers were ripe now for membership in the Communist Party. This was one of four elements on whom the board urged concentration in a drive for 15,000 new members by the time of the party's national convention in July.

Proselyting was urged by the Board also among labor, Negroes and in the ranks of young voters, including veterans. Copyright. lMg.

Jstewart, Glasgow, Ky, presi dent of the state-wide corporation, said in an interview. The bill would have extended from 25 to 50 years the amortization period for federal loans to the co-ops. Without that extension and because of increased costs of construction and wholesale power, he said, "it may be that we won't be able to extend lines into less densely settled areas." He said that only 44 per cent of Ken tucky's farms are electrified, "put- ting the state in 38th place in this respect. Stewart criticized a move by Senator McKellar Tenn.) to amend the T.V.A. Act.

The amendments would change drastically the financial setyp of T.V.A. and shorten the terms of its directors. "It appears to us that what Mc Kellar is trying to do is put the T.V-A. into politics," Stewart said. "In my opinion and the opinion of most of our co-op members, the T.V.A.

has done an excellent job. It should be left as it is."

The charges were made by Senator Downey Representative Elliott and others, Harness said.

Harness declined to identify the officials who were accused, but he said that a staff of 10 is investigating the charges. "These officials have been-charged with misappropriation of funds, malfeasance in office, and graft by Downey and Elliott.

will receive $2,500 from the foundation to continue her already successful writing projects, it was announced. Family Is Every member of the Hardwick family is "intensely proud" of Elizabeth's accomplishments in the writing field, Miss Jane Hardwick, the novelist's sister said here today. "We're thrilled to death about the whole thing," Jane said. "We think it's wonderful that Elizabeth has done so well." And Elizabeth has done well. The young Lexington woman has to date published only, one novel, "The Ghostly Lover," but she now is hard at work on another unnamed novel, which is to be' published this fall.

Wrote Short Stories. Short stories written by the former Lexingtonian have appeared in Vogue, The Yale Review, Harper's Bazaar, The Partisan Review, and the Sewa-nee Review, all top-flight literary publications, Jane Hardwick said. Wher did Elizabeth get her desire to enter the writing field? Well, that must have started back in the late 1930s when Elizabeth entered the University of Kentucky here, Jane confided. "The late Dr. Francis Galloway, who at that time was a professor in the department of English at the university, encouraged Elizabeth to go into creative writing," Jane added.

Attended Columbia. Elizabeth received a bachelor of arts degree in English from the university here in 1938. The following year, after teaching one summer-school term in the department of English, she earned a master of arts degree at the school. Later in 1939, Elizabeth decided to take up her residence in New York among the literary set. She attended Columbia University, where she took some courses in writing.

Mrs. Mary Ramsey Hardwick, Elizabeth's widowed mother, lives here at 264 Rand Avenue. Farmer Loans Hit Peak, Gain 36 Pet. Over 1947 Highest amount in outstanding loans to farmers in its 25-year history was reported yesterday by J. E.
