Automation Held Promising Move WASHINGTON President Walter Reuther of the CIO Monday automation can bring "a four-day work week, longer vacation periods, opportunities for early retirement, as well as a vast increase in our material standards of living." But he said careful social planning and proper controls will be needed if the changeover is to be made "without first having to pay a heavy price in unemployment and human suffering." Gradual Reduction Reutherx testimony was prepared for a Senate-House Economic subcommittee as it continued hearings on the effects of grouing use of automatic machines for complicated processes. He said a gradual reduction of the work ueek to 30 or 35 houi-s and a rapid increa.se in consumer buying power are needed as "cushions" to absorb the workers who would be replaced by the new machines.

Shift in Power Policy Not Easy The hmver is into tiiese days in its etfons to shift the emphasis of yoNcrnment interest from public to pmate poiver The are tuo-fold: the law and the Deniocrais. For 20 years of New Deal-Fair Deal administration, the einphasi.s on development and expansion of public power resources.

The ciant Tennessee Valley Authority came into beinc. Public power projects were encouraged. And electric cooperatives spread Ibc.r network of publicly owned Iransmission lines across the country. Rival Theories In capsule form. Republicans argued this pro-public power pursued under Franklin D.

Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman was socialistic and dangerous for the American free enterprise system. Deniccrats contended the government mercl.v was acting to give the people cheap power I)ecause the private power industry had failed to do the job. And the public-versus-private power debate has raged for years. the tration is trying to encourage private enterprise in the power And.

where the federal government is involved, it has turned to private interests and to cooperative arrangements with local public agencies in trying to find solutions to power problems. No Simple Mailer But to shift the direction of power policy is no simple matter. There is the vigorous opposition from the Democrats and from public power interests opposition which has bunt the power fight into a lirst-class presidential campaign issue. then there are certain complications which have arisen from the law. The first clash came when the administration, through the Atomic Kncrgy Commission, contracted ith the Pixon-Yates group to feed power into the TVA grid to meet an anticipated shortage.

Thi.s con: tract was abandoned when the city of Memphis refused lo accept Dixon-Yates power and if 'would build its own plant. I Call Ointracl Invalid I Democratic leaders irjiisted the contract was not valid, and therefore the government should not pay a cancellation fee which might amount lo million dollars. Tbe AEC insisted for months the contract became legally effective last winter. But AEC Chairman Lewis L. Straus now concedes, after an exchange of correspondence with the comptroller general, that "there may be a question as to the validitj'" of the Dixon-Yates contract.

One i.ssue is whether there a of inleresi" when Adolphe n. Wenzell acted as Budget Bureau consultant on TVA and matters relating to the Dixon- Yates deal while still on the pay- iroll of the First Boston an investment banking firm. First became the financial agent (without fee) for the Dixon-Yates group. New Clash Today another political clash Is taking place over an administration propo.sa! later abandoned to sell federal power to the Georgia Power Co. for resale lo some 17 which have no transmission lines connecting with the generating station.

Atty. Gen. Brownell said in opinion that the law provides the government must give preference to cooperatives and other public agencies competing for power with private utility groups, even though he co-ops have no "presently available" means of taking the power." He said the proposed sale lo the priiaie firm would "flout the congressional of public power laws. Thus the private-versus-puhlic power battle continues, and it's generating a jolting charge of political energy.
