Power Contract Inquiry Threatens Utility Check
He charged that Middle South Utilities, Inc., one of the firms making up the Dixon-Yates combine, is violating the Holding Company Act which, he said, has apparently become the "forgotten law." The act established the Securities and Exchange commission and regulates the nation's financial life.
Washington—(U.P.)-A Senate inquiry into the controversial Dixon-Yates power contract today threatened to trigger a demand for a full-scale investigation of utilities reminiscent of New Deal days.
Sen. Kefaufer based his charge on testimony of J. D. Stiiennroth before the Senate Anti-Monopoly subcommittee investigating the proposed Dixon-Yates contract. Mr. Stiiennroth, ousted secretary-treasurer of the Mississippi Power & Light Co., was recalled for a fourth appearance before the subcommittee.
Mississippi Power & Light is an operating subsidiary of Middle South which along with the Southern Co. makes up the Dixon-Yates syndicate. President Eisenhower has directed the Atomic Energy commission to negotiate a contract with Yates. Yates will 40,000 kilowatts of power annually to TVA to replace a like amount TVA will deliver to AEC plants.
It appeared all but certain that Congress will be asked to vote funds next year for an investigation of utilities and holding companies similar to the one that broke up big power trusts and led to the Holding Company Act of 1935.
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), vigorous backer of the Tennessee Valley authority, called yesterday for a new Congressional utility investigation to "see what happened" since the Holding company Act was passed.
The contract has become a bitter issue in the congressional campaign. National Democratic Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell has called it a "scandal."

Veterans Group Outlines Projects, Elects Officers
Social functions, sports, and service projects are being planned by the University Veterans organization, a club organized last year for KU veterans.

Nine Powers Continue European Arms Talks
By UNITED PRESS
The Nine Power conference met for the fourth day in London to thrash out a formula controlling European armament, including that of a rearmed, sovereign, West Germany.
The full conference met after the United States, Britain, France, and Germany met in a "Big Four" session to work over final details of restoring sovereignty to Germany.
The conference agreed to make the North Atlantic Treaty organization supreme commander and chief enforcer of European armament controls guided by the Brussels Pact organization.
American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said he plans to return home Saturday indicating that the conference's work is Germany in Western
London: Communist Peiping radio announced that the multimillion-man Chinese Communist army has been ordered to be "constantly prepared for combat" in the campaign to seize the Chinese Nationalist-held fortress of Formosa.
Other international developments today included:
Defense minister Peng Teh-Hui in an order of the day marking the fifth anniversary of the Communist conquest of China, said:
—rearming Germany in Western European defense—was almost completed.
Saigon: Viet Namese Chief of State Bao Dai ordered Premier Ngo Dinh Diem to invite three of his principal foes to join his government—apparently to force the premier from office.
"We shall assuredly free Taiwan (Formosa) from the yoke of the American imperialists and the traitorous clique of (Nationalist Generalissimo) Chiang Kai-Shek."
Seoul: The United States Army announced it was unable to pay its almost 100,000 Korean civilian employees because the South Korean government refused to advance it any more local currency in a dispute over the dollar-huan exchange rate.
Bao Dai sent his order in a cable from his French Riviera resort home. He told Diem to include three generals: Nguyen Van Hinh, Nguyen Van Xuan, and Le Van Vien, in his government.
The U.S. has refused to repay a loan already granted by South Korea because it feels the exchange rate衰led 180 hwan to a dollar—is "unrealistic." The Army offered to pay the loan at a rate of 254 hwan to a dollar but the Korean government refused.
