Listeners heard someone say, 'Who the hell did that?" as Nixon finished, and newspapers and TV station switchboards were flooded with calls demanding to know who made the remark.

Industries Coming to Tennessee Assured of Abundant Electricity Power representatives of bothf agencies are understood to be meet ing continually in Tennessee now, but it is understood that a number of matters remained to be ironed out. Vogel suggested in his letter to Strauss that It might be beneficial for the board of direc tors of the TVA to get together with the commissioners of the AEC at some time in the near future. It is understood that the first draft of the contract that was made available to the TVA in its entirety was that of Sept.

17. This followed by almost three weeks the complaint of Harry Curtis, then acting chairman of the TVA, that his agency had not been able to study the whole document. Meanwhile, it was learned here that the acting comptroller general, Frank Weitzel, has advised the AEC that the atomic-energy law passed by Congress in the last session authorized the government to make the payments required by the contract and to make the payments of the cancellation charges if they become necessary. Weitzel said he was leaving the Question of "the necessity or desirability" oi me contract to administrative decision. Called Tair' Similarly it was learned that the chairman of the Federal Power Commission, Jerome Kuykendahl advised the AEC on Sept.

30 that the contract is "fair and reason able to the government The chairman's letter consisted of only five paragraphs and made no oth er statement in favor of the con tract Also, Brig. Gen. John Hardin president of the Mississippi River commission, is known to have ad' vised the AEC that the West Mem phis location of the proposed pri vate plant is acceptable to his commission from the standpoint of navigation and flood control. He did list six developmental steps of a minor nature that will have to be taken to achieve this accept ability. The.Budzct Bureau is known also to have indicated approval of toe latest draft or the contract as being In line with the recommendations of the President On.

Oct. 1, Joseph Campbell, acting chairman of the AEC on that day, wrote Atty. Gen. Herbert Browne to request that the Jus tice Department rule upon the au thority of the AEC to enter Into the contract, including the Income- tax provision, which must follow the provision of the Atomic Energy Act that there can be no direct reimbursement to a private utility for federal taxes. Enclosed with Campbell's letter was a copy ot a favorable ruling on the contract by the AEC'a general coun sel, William Mltchejl.

Department has not -acceded to this request yet. In some quarters this aeiay is being suggested as a sign that the Justice Department doeB not PPPve the contract, but in view of the comptroller gen- eral's ruling, it is believed that the delay stems from normal staff pro cedure.

Mississippi Power is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Middle South Utilities, one of the companies with which the Atomic Energy Commission is negotiating the controversial Dixon-Yates contract under which the private utilities would feed power into the Tennessee Valley Authority system. Mississippi Power would be a party to the AEC Contract in two senses: It would be obliged to furnish power for TVA distribution under certain circumstances and like other Middle South subsidiaries would be obligated to take part of the excess energy from the proposed new privately-built generating plant at West Memphis, Ark.

PAPER TAKES LICK ATSTRIKGFELLOW Army Times Says, Officers Refute Congressman's Claim of OSS Role From Page One Nov. 19, 1944, and was unconscious until December 24, Stringfellow saia. ne now walks with a cane and has braces on his feet Stringfellow said he volunteer! for Army duty Nov. 1942, but was not called to active duty until April 8, 1943.

He was -assigned to Company 62nd Armored Infantry Battalion, 14th Armored Divi sion. He said he volunteered for OSS duty and took some weekend trips to Washington for training in that work. It was Sept. 25, 1944, when he was taken out of his outfit for the plane trip to Europe, he said, and it was Oct. 14 when he re joined his, company as it was boarding a ship to cross the Atlantic.

Stringfellow said he stopped in uenver toaay ana lauced to "cer tain members of the President's staff" about the rumors. He would not Identify the staff members. He spoke at Butler, tonieht in Denau or Kep. mueison (K-Moj who is seekinsr reelection. Officer Queried The Army Times article, under the joint byline of editor Harold G.

Stagg and managing editor Les Honeycutt, quoted Army records ana reports the writers say were obtained from officers under whom stringfellow served. It says the-record leaves unan swered questions: was Congressman Stringfellow the heroic and lone survivor of an OSS 'cloak and dagger' operation Leiuna the German lines near the losing days of World War II in which a leading German scientist which Stringfellow publicly claimed was Dr. Otto Hahn was captured? Or, was congressman Strinefel- low a private first class with the 62nd Armored Infantry Battalion wno served overseas less than one month, but never saw combat, although he was seriously injured and disabled while on a 'routine assignment to lift a mine field' in France on Nov. 19, 1944? "And during a 14-day period when Congressman Stringfellow supposedly was en route overseas aboard the tJSS Le Jeune, was he in fact carrying out an OSS 'cloak and dagger' operation in the 'basement of the Gestapo' in Nuernberg, Germany, or--as his immediate superiors testify was he aboard ship?" Stringfellow himself was not immediately reachable for comment. VV Stringfellow left Oeden.

Hillel Son (K-MO). The Ogden office, however, put out a statement lor stmgieiiow. saying: "Coming on the eve of the No vember election, it seems perfectly clear that this unfounded attack is politically Inspired. "The authenticity of my service record is beyond question, No politically inspired attack, however vicious, can change that fact." Stringfellow was quoted as saying he would withhold further comment until he and his attorneys rould obtain and have full opportunity to review the magazine article. In Denver, the summer White House said Eisenhower's schedule no appointment with stringfellow, and the President had gone to play golf.

Murray Snyder, assistant presi dential press secretary, said he had heard of the article but "there will be no comment from the White House at this time and I don't know whether there will be later or not Shown With Ike Alonz with the article the Army Times published a campaign photograph showing Stringfellow with Eisenhower. Beneath the picture the text re ported that after Strlngfellow's TV appearance White House press secretary James C. Hagerty wired him: "Congratulations on the Wonder ful presentation of your life and many outstanding a c'c plish- Bents. The President has asked me to extend to you his very best wishes and congratulations." Hagerty, On vacation, was In Washington but could not be reached immediately in person. Through his office he confirmed that he had wired Stringfellow con gratulations.

In an editor's note accompany ing the article, the Army Times said the matter was brought to the magazine's attention by "congressional sources including wounded combat veterans." "It is published here," the note went on, "to bring into the open ugly rumors In the hope that the truth will be made available by the White House, the Department of the Army, the Central Intelli gence Agency ana or the Depart-ment of State." 8 'UNSAFE' MINES MIGHT BE BARRED From Page One ley Authority's Widows Creek steam plant under two contracts held by the Plateau Coal Chattanooga, and the Whitwell Coal Tracy City, Tenn.

Judge Thrasher is given a lion's share of the credit for the success of the movement for a bridge across the dam. which would con nect to rapidly developing sections and, many believe, usher in a new era of Dro cress.

Amone the first to realize the importance of a new connecting link that would eliminate miles of travel to and from the Hixson area from East Chattanooga and the State" Highway 68 section beyond, Judre Thrasher was an advocate of the brtdtre over a Period Of vears and even when the project was delayed or when It appeared the cause was lost he never gave up hope and continued to push for the bridge. The Tennessee Valley Authority began the work of preparing the bridge foundation and anchorage alonr the too Of the dam in ikw. The Authority also built the embankments that lead onto the ends of th bride. The general contract for the erection of the bridge was awarded to the American Bridge Co. and his work got under way in August 1953.

The steel erection was From Page One I ct the laws is a personal and present one. "In the light of the sweeping declaration of the Supreme Court on the unqualified right of all persons to a public school education in which consideration of race ulays no part, it necessarily follows that plaintiffs and those sim ilarly situated are equitably entitled to an education at Milford High School. "Difendants (the Milford school board) contend that the May 17, 1954, decision of the Supreme Court of the United States holding that separate facilities for public edu cation for the plaintiffs and for those similarly situated aepnvea them oz tnc equal protecuon oi the laws has not reached the decree stage and does not govern the decision of the case at bar, Fact Overlooked 'This argument overlooks the tact that the court has given its decision, and decrees were with held only because they will have wide applicability under a great variety of local conditions. The Supreme Court was of the opinion that it could not, without further argument and consideration, frame decrees having a broad compul sory scope. This court at this stage is concerned solely with the constitutional rights of 10 students to continue their education at a school to which they had been admitted during a period of permissive integration.

"Plaintiffs were admitted to Milford High School at the beginning of the present school year. They are seeking to preserve their status as students in a In which they are entitled to be educated. It has been conceded that the names of plaintiffs were dropped from the records of the school solely because of color and v. "Except for their names now being withdrawn from the records of the school, plaintiffs' position is no different than that of other Negro students of Delaware now at tending partially Integrated schools on the basis of their rights to equal protection under the Consti tutions of the United States. It would be unrealistic to maintain that these ether students are un lawfully in school during the present phase of permissive inte gration.

"Can this court, however, now direct the defendants to reinstate plaintiffs as students at Milford High School, and in effect grant plaintiffs the entire relief they might hope to receive on final nearmgr "There no doubt but that the Delaware Court of Chancery has the power and authority to grant an injunction mandatory in form utatus quo in the true sense of that term, The last, non-contested status the plaintiffs preceding this controversy Was membership in the student body Vf Milford High School. Equity will preserve this status, against wrongful cnange. "I hold that plaintiffs' constitu tional rights to a nori-sorrerated education vested oh their admission to Milford High School are rights which defendants concede but wish to withhold for the present.

I find plaintiffs' legal rights 'clear and that they are entitled to mandatory relief, and that any inconvenience or distress to defendants must give way before the much greater injury which would be inflicted on plaintiffs by denial of their personal and present rights. "Defendants contend that plain tiffs have not shown that denial of relief will cause them irreparable injury. Because the years of grade and high school are forma tive ones, the United States Su preme Court held that the heed tor equal protection of the laws for students of such ages was more compelling than for graduate stu dents. A continuing denial ot plaintiffs' personal and present rights irreparably injuries them. 'I hold that plaintiffs have a clear legal right to have their status aa students of Milford Hiah School preserved pending final hearing and an order, will be entered enjoining defendants ffojn denying to plaintiffs, because of color or race, their vested rights to attend Milford High Bchool.

This work has proceeded since the steel work was ready for it and now all that remains to be done is the final coat of paint on certain sections of the bridge. W.

W. Pickens was the American Bridge superintendent during the steel erection and he was then succeeded by A. W. Smith, who had been his assistant, in completing the project. The bridge itself Is 3,468 feet 8 inches in length.

It is almost 36 feet in width. There are two 12-foot traffic lanes. There are parapets and guard railing on both sides and on the upstream side there is a six-foot walkway. There also is a six-foot walkway on the downstream side- extending between the stair tower at the powerhouse on the south side and the stair tower at the lock on the north side. A total of 5,703 tons of steel was used in the construction.

The bridge is lighted by a series of mercury vapor lamps along the upstream side of the bridge. The bridge is approximately 40 feet above the spillways section of the dam. This means that from the pavement to the water on the upstream side the distance is around 60 feet at nor mal pool level and on the downstream side the distance is around 115 feet. The long-range program includes the construction of cloverleafs for grade separation of traffic at Hixson Pike, State Highway 58 and Lee Hiehwav (U.S. Highways 11 and 641.

14 Promot ers of Tennessee industrial develop ment were advised today that there will be plenty of electric power available for any new Industries locating in the Tennessee Valley during the next two years. This reassurance was given by James E. Watson of Chattanooga, TVA's director of power utiliza tion. He spoke to 245 persons at tending the second annual Tennes see Industrial Development Con ference and representing 61 cities In the state and seven out-of-state organizations. The one-day conference was spon sored by the Tennessee industrial and agricultural development commission as a part of "Industry Week." -Watson said Tennessee Valley in us tries last year consumed 11 billion kwh of TVA power.

By 1957, he said, an additional 6 bil lion kwh will be. available and that IVk billion Of this is already contracted for or committed to in dustrial use, leaving 2i billion kwh for new industry. He said he did not want to min imise the power shortage situation in the valley, pointing out that three to four years is necessay to provide new capacity, but he said those seeking new industry for the Ftate can promise definitely to supply power to industries seeking locations in the valley during the two years.

The major handicap of the Paris branch plant which employs 500 dence produced at a hearing proved charges that the mines are unsafe for employes. Each mine employs less than 15 workers, the number required before a mine comes under the federal law allowing the Bureau of Mines to compel correction of unsafe working conditions. The Labor Department said that tfie mine owners argued at the hearing that coal mining is a hazardous occupation and that the conditions complained of were not "unduly hazardous."

"It takes people to make It work, Our workers, at Paris take pride in "their work and the people of Paris feel the company is a part of their community."

ATHLETE'S FOOT NOT CONTAGIOUS Front Page One them with fungistatic agents." said Dr. Baer.
