TVA WINS COURT FIGHT TO BLOCK INJUNCTION Continued From Page One "pooling" of federal and private power.

This issue, involving the question whether the government should join its developments with privately-owned networks or push them independently, is one of the major issues to be considered by the president's policy-makers. The five-man committee which Mr. Roosevelt appointed yesterday was called together this afternoon by its chairman, Secretary Ickes. "I gather that the president wants a draft legislation at the earliest possible moment," he told reporters prior to the session. As chief of the Public Works Administration, Mr.

Ickes in the past has approved many federal loans and grants for municipal power propects. He has ordered his staff to fight injunction suits aimed by private companies at such projects. With the possible exception of Frederic A. Delano, uncle of the president and vice chairman of the national resources committee, all the policy committee members have clashed at some time with private utility interests. One of them, Morris L.

Cooke, the rural electrification administrator, said in a magazine article recently that users of electricity were overcharged more than 000.000 year. He predicted "some extension" of public power through federal, state and municipal agencies. Mr. Cooke advocated joint use of existing power lines, however, to avoid duplication of facilities. Frank R.

McNinch, another member, was appointed to the power commission by President Hoover and his reappointment was championed by Senators Norris and Wheeler, Democrat, Montana. Robert E. Healy, securities commissioner, conducted a trade commission investigation of public utility holding companies, which many legislators say led to the Roosevelt Utility Holding Company Act. Mr. Delano, in his work with the national resources committee, has urged "exploitation of public resources for public interests."

Death of Prominent Cotton Man Unexpected SLIGHT COLD SUFFERED Lifelong Resident of Memphis Was Manager of Jonesboro Office of McFadden Oates -Three Sons, Widow Survive David W. Saxon, prominent Memphis cotton man.

died of 8 heart attack at his home, 1379 Peabody, at 10:15 o'clock last night. He was 55 years of age. Mr. Saxon's death came as a distinct shock to his friends. He contracted a slight cold Friday, but his ailment was not considered serious.

About 7 o'clock last night he suffered the attack and succumbed several hours later. A lifelong resident of Memphis, Mr. Saxon was manager of the Jonesboro, office of McFad- den Oates, cotton firm. Leaves Widow, Sons He leaves his widow, Mrs. Clara Heffernan Saxon; three sons, David W.

Saxon, real estate man and former editorial department employe of Commercial Appeal; Malcolm and George E. Saxon, and a grandson, David W. Saxon all of Memphis Funeral arrangements, in charge of encer-Sturla funeral home, had not been completed last night. Mr. Saxon was the son of the late Mr.

and Mrs. George Saxon. He was educated at C. B. and entered the cotton business as 8 young man.

The notes were written on small size 5x7 paper, torn from a regular correspondence pad like those purchased at any drug or department store, and were written on both sides of the paper.

Double Signature The peculiarity of the double signature, along with the odd-colored purple ink used for the stamping of the name on each sheet, definitely established that the author of first ransom note dropped in the Mattson home--dictated and composed the later notes. Language used in all three notes and the strange telegraphic style in which they were written was almost identical. Both notes were mailed from downtown Tacoma, possibly at the central post office here, and came through regular delivery to the Mattson home with scores of other letters. The envelopes were also addressed in Charles' hand. Reference to the telephone communication even in the first note gave added weight to the occasion when two men ordered a Shelton mill caretaker to communicate by phone with the Mattson home, and then disappeared in a light-model sedan.

Telephone Calls It was thought likely the kidnapers attempted to communicate with the doctor in this fashion until they had time to locate a spot from which to place the actual contact calls by telephone. This disclosure gave added significance to renewed activity of law enforcement agencies in the Shelton area in the uncharted wilds of the Olympic Peninsula, 40 miles southwest here. pic The Shelton activity grew when it was revealed that an apparent last-minute change of plans of the kidnap-killers cheated a police trap laid in Seattle for their capture.

You will find five or six before we tell you where to leave the suit-case. You will go lonely roads. If cars are trailing you we won't contact. If our man gets killed or has to commit suicide on account of police you will never see the 'id again. To prove he is alive this his handwriting.

If you want to be sure he is alive at the pay off ask us something the kid knows and we don't and we will answer on first note that tells you where to go. Tim Tim." Through Mails The second note, received through the mails at Mattson home less than four days later, and probably, autopsy, reports was indicate, being while brutally litbeaten to death, read: "Are ready to make connections and want to know if you are getting the notes or are police keeping them from you. "We mailed a note Dec. 29th with kid's writing. If you do not mention it in papers that you received note we will not try to make connections.

After mention the notes in papers stay by phone at nights with money and car ready. "If you do not obey the notes after phone call, connections will be off for keeps, and remember an army of police can kill a couple of kidnappers but they will not be able to find the kid until after he is dead. It was this line which foretold the ghoulish death which was to come to the 10-year-old lad not long after he penned it. The note's text showed beyond doubt that it was the actual kidnapers who broke into a Seattle service station three days before the youth's crumpled body was found make a futile attempt to lay plans for collection of the ransom. It was from this service station -into which the snatchers smashed their way as into the Mattson home a telephone call was sent to Dr.

Mattson instructing him to pay the ransom. Voice of Murderer "Go to Beacon Avenue and Stevens Street in Seattle," a gruff voice undoubtedly that of the snatcher -informed the alarmed physician. "Get there at 4:30 o'clock in the morning and you'll find a note under a stone. It will direct you to another note like we told you." It was pointed out that none but the snatch-slayers could have known of the directions in the note little Charles had penned, telling of the series of notes which were to have led to the ransom rendezvous, and payment of the $28,000. Following the directions of the notes and telephone conversation implicitly but hopelessly, Dr.

Mattson did leave his home in a model Ford car, as directed in the original kidnap note, and cruised for an entire morning in the deserted Beacon Hill area of Seattle, attempting to pay the blood money for his son's freedom. Even as he did so, postmortem examination reports show, his son was dead. Followed Directions The notes also disclosed how the doctor had followed faithfully every direction of the kidnapers, even to requesting withdrawal of police from the case in response to the written command: "Call police off." Even wording of the doctor's classified advertisements in a Seattle newspaper, followed in complete detail the instructions of the men who held his little boy captive. Although some of the advertisements, telling of the possible interference of hi-jackers, were not at the direction of snatchers, his oft-repeated declarations that the police would not interfere and that the kidnapers' notes had not been 12DAY TROPICAL CRUISE HAVANAN for HONDURAS PANAMA 1125.
