So, I read from the dictionary here on my desk the following definition: CONTUMACY, contemptuous disregard of authority; insolent disregard of authority; incorrigible obstinacy. Next, it should be set down that there are rather, there were two men with the surname of Morgan as officials of the Tennessee Valley authority before President Roosevelt removed one of them from ofThe fact that fice for contumacy. there were two Morgans must be remembered because each one figures prominently in a continuing controversy and for the reason that neither one of the Morgans is connected wlth the House of Morgan" to which so many demagogues refer when they talk about economic royalists In the third place, we should know something about David E. Lilien-tha- l, who, like the two Morgans, also was a director of the TVA. Mr. Lilienthal continues to be a director, as does Harcourt Morgan. The Morgan who no longer has official connection with TVA, according to President Roosevelt, is Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, founder of the famous Antioch college at Yellow Springs, Ohio. Arthur Morgan was removed as chairman of the TVA because the President said he was guilty of contumacy, and Harcourt Morgan was made chairman. The removal took place by executive order after Mr. Roosevelt had personally held three hearings for the purpose, he said, of determining who was wrong in an old fashioned cat and dog fight that has been going for months among the three directors of TVA Arthur Morgan had made accusations against the other two directors, charges of a libelous nature, charges of dishonesty in short, charges that the other two directors were guilty of enough things to cause their removal from office. Arthur Morgan had openly urged a congressional investigation of the TVA as well, and when Mr. Roosevelt made his owm investigation and Arthur Morgan refused to offer one iota of evidence to support his previous charges, he was guilty of contumacy and the Chief Executive removed, or just plain fired, him. And so, we come to another phase In urging a congressional investigation, Arthur Morgan followed what he thought was the proper course He held that the TVA v as a creature of congress which placed in its law, its legal charter, that none of the directors could be removed unless on charges that they h id played political favorites in TVA appointments He thought that e White House investigation was a means of checking a congressional investigation which had been so vigorously opposed by Senator Norris cf Nebraska, father of the TVA and F oosevelt supporter That is to say, Chairman Morgan didnt believe President Roosevelt had any authority to call in the three directors a id there, in the presence of all, compel the chairman to substantial his charges.

I hear in many quarters that Mr. Lilienthal is the man who really started the trouble in the beginning He is the same man who was connected with the Wisconsin utilities commission and wrote an order directing a reduction in telephone rates before holding a hearing to give interested parties a chance to have their day in court. If current reports be true, Mr. Lilienthal actually signed the order reducing rates several dajs before the so called public hearing was held The court called his action and delivered itself of In which house and senate will join, arbitiary a tongue lashing about such quite an inquiry that will go Into every unwarranted and despotic action. phase of TVA to see what makes it That opinion was rendered late in tick. , Whether Mr Lilienthal February.

TVA. The country at last is going to have a look at the real wood; they will get some facts that hither- name smeared, the TVA row and Good for the White House the Country investigation prob-ably will be good for the country. Anybody who knows Arthur Morgans record, must agree that it is one of which any man could be proud. It is too bad, therefore, that he has to be the goat in the case. But I repeat that the affair will result in considerable good if the whole TVA record can be brought into the open and the goings-on of public ownership advocates can be exposed for once insofar as TVA is concerned. There is, however, something much more significant, much deeper, in this situation than just justice or injustice to one man. In this I refer to the use of authority by the President to make an independent official do the bidding of the Chief Executive. It is a case comparable m many respects to the removal of the late William E. Humphreys as a member of the federal trade commission. That was done, President Roosevelt said at the time, because Mr. Humphreys failed to see eye to eye with the Chief Executive. It is to be remembered, too, that the Supreme Court of the United States held unanimously that Mr. Roosevelt did not have the power to remove Mr. Humphreys. Thus, there is again a legal question whether the President had the power, although Homer S. Cummings, the attorney general, advised Mr. Roosevelt that such power was vested in him a3 President. Undoubtedly Arthur Morgan will try out the matter in court. The disturbing thing is, however, that if President Roosevelt has that much authority now, how much more authority will he have to do that sort of thing, and many, many others, if given authority to reorganize the government agencies as he sought in the original government reorganization bill Of course, much of his demanded authority has been shorn from the bill, but I believe there is ground for alarm at what remains. Whether Mr. Roosevelt continues to be President indefinitely or whether some other man is President, I think congress has no right to give away such 44denlgTledfcN tv Montgomery Ave.SanV Calif.
