...Knoxville, Tenn., where Senator Vic Donahey's TVA investigating committee was assembling for an inspection tour, Dr. Morgan took advantage of TVA's corporate status to file a civil suit against it. He sued in a local chancery court instead of in U. S. District Court, where TVA would prefer to answer his demands for: 1) $2,916.66 back salary accrued since the President fired him March 23 for obstructing TVA affairs and contumacy; 2) recognition as TVA chairman, on the ground that the President had no authority to discharge...

Ohio's Vic Donahey has lately boasted that he will vote against the Pope-McGill Farm Bill pending in the Senate on the ground that he cannot understand it. This was practically the only complaint not offered by various rebellious members in the House last week, as Chairman Marvin Jones of the Agriculture Committee maneuvered his 86-page Farm Bill toward the first vote taken in either House on a part of the President's program for the special session...
Most Senators and Representatives critical of the President's Supreme Curt Plan and labor policies attended, for not to attend, barring a good excuse, was tantamount to a break with the New Deal. Among absentees were Senators Glass, George, Burke, Gerry, Sheppard, Copeland, King, Donahey, Holt, Bilbo...
