ALLEN WASHINGTON It was done very quietly, but the long-raging undercover dissension between TV A Chairman Arthur E. Morgan and his two fellow commissioners commission-ers has been squelched by Presi-dentRoosevelt. Presi-dentRoosevelt. At his direct instigation, in-stigation, an administrative shake-up shake-up has taken place that has stripped Morgan of most of his power and in effect relegated him to the role of a minority member of the board. Morgan and his colleagues have been scrapping .bitterly for several sev-eral years over personal and policy differences. He favors a conciliatory attitude toward private pri-vate power interests. The other two commissioners advocate vigorous vig-orous competition. Last year, when the term of Commissioner David Lilienthal expired, Morgan threatened to resign if he was reappointed. The President gave Lilienthal a new six-year term, but Morgan did not quit. Lilienthal's reappointment intensified in-tensified the feud and for months the president tried to find a way to end it. A plan was finally evolved and at the prompting of the president put into effect. Under it Morgan continues to hold the title of chairman, but relinquishes his executive duties as chief engineer. The other two members also gave up their individual in-dividual executive spheres. This three-cornered administrative control con-trol is replaced with a one-man rule in the person of Executive Officer J. B. Blandford, former safety director of Cincinnati, Ohio. The board is now solely a policy-making body. It makes decisions de-cisions and Blandford executes them, thus removing a chief -source of friction.

A law was passed and revised in 1933 banning opening of grocery gro-cery and other such stores to business on Sunday, and amended during the 1937 session of legislature, legis-lature, according to Attorney Roylance. While there have been many complamts concerning this act, it has not, as yet, been declared de-clared invalid by the supreme court. Until it is declared invalid, Attorney Roylance said, it will be necessary for the county attorney's at-torney's office to issue a complaint com-plaint and carry out prosecution.
