The rupture came over Senator Berry's marble claim, for Mr. Morgan was thoroughly disgusted by then with the corruption, waste, and monopolistic intention of his organization. But it was Morgan's demand for a thorough Congressional investigation that brought the President face to face with the rather doubtful condition of the T.V.A. Not relishing any embarrassing revelation so close to the congressional elections the President's countermove was a hasty summons of ]the three directors to a White House "trial...
