Such additions were made necessary by the valley's tremendous growth. TVA has reforested the river's valley, created a chain of fish-stocked lakes and a recreation industry, used its coal and water supplies to become the biggest U.S. electric-generating company, wholesaling its power to 153 local electric systems, several federal agencies, and private companies that have been attracted to the valley-all at rates well below most of the U.S. TVA serves such big, power-hungry customers as Reynolds Metals, Alcoa, Monsanto, National Carbide and Hooker Chemical.

They claim that last year the North produced ten times as much steel as South Korea, five...
Pennsylvania (32): Recession and religion are key issues. Unemployment is up to 8%, both coal and steel are hurting simultaneously (steel production is at 44%).

To win, Kennedy needs a plurality of some 250,000 votes in Philadelphia, should get it. KENNEDY...
