House GOP Fights TVA Expansion House Republicans shouted "socialism" today as they fought to prevent the Tennessee Valley Authority from expanding its commercial power operations.

But they appeared to be on the losing side in their fight to strike from a catch-all money bill a $2,500,000 appropriation for a proposed TVA steam generating plant at New Johnsonville, Tenn. Last year the House, by a 192 to 152 vote, refused to provide $4,000,000 as a work-starter on the $54,000,000 project. Republicans were in control then. The TVA appropriation, while comparatively small, is by far the most controversial item in the big bill, which finances assorted Federal agencies whose previouslyvoted funds for the present fiscal year ran short. Republicans indicated at the start of debate yesterday that they would center their fire on TVA, with a showdown expected late today.

Soot Held Responsible For Stocking Runs WILMINGTON, The case of the unadorned calfor, where went milady's stockings? -appeared solved today. A technician for a big nylon producer here says this business of wholesale nylon running is old. You can blame the stuff that dirties your curtains--soot. The current mystery had its beginning Monday in Jacksonville, women walking down the street suddenly noticed their nylon hose were becoming plagued with runs and gaping holes. Here's the way the expert exPromoted it: Under certain atmospheric conditions, tiny soot particles cling more readily to a person's clothing.

And these specks contain sulphur dioxide, sulphur trioxide and other combinations which mate with the moisture in the air to form acids. This acid may destroy a thread on a coat or hat, but there it isn't noticeable. But on stockings, a broken thread causes a run- and there you are. It can happen to any sheer stocking, he emphasizes, not only nylon.

Plaster Casts of Capitol Pools Placed on Display Miniature plaster casts for posed for the People's Court, just North and the South Office on exhibit at the State Museum. Milles, who designed the bronze created the figures in the pools. Under plans of the Martin Administration the area east of the Capitol was to be completed to carry out the ideas of the late Arnold W. Brunner, architect of the Capitol group of buildings. William Gehron, an associate of Brunner, has been working on plans for complete development of the court, but the present Administration postponed indefinitely work on the project.

Milles' fountains contain numerous figures with sprays of water falling into the pools, which, his plans provide, would be 108 feet long and 36 feet wide. They would occupy part of the space of the five temporary office buildings and the parking lots at the rear of the Capitol. The figures on the models are small, but Milles has also sent enlarged plaster casts of some of the figures which have been placed on pedestals. PARIS- (AP) The Rt. Rev.
