...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...
...maze of charges and countercharges made by Messrs. Morgan. Morgan & Lilienthal are being delved into by a joint committee headed by Ohio's industrious, gum-chewing Senator Vic Donahey, with $50,000 to spend (TIME, June 6). Because Vic Donahey knows he is not a born inquisitor like such famed Senators as Black, Wheeler, Nye, La Follette and the late Tom Walsh, his committee last week retained a paid inquisitor just as the Senate's Wall Street investigation in 1933-34 hired Lawyer Ferdinand Pecora.

Last week, in the runoff election, 37-year-old Lawyer Langlie's votes jumped to 78,997. "Call me Vic" Meyers, carrying on a serious campaign, was able to poll 48,114 or 518 more than the sum of his own and Mayor Dore's primary votes, but that was not enough...
...University of Alabama. California was bent on spoiling Alabama's record of never having been defeated in the Rose Bowl. In the first quarter Alabama outplayed California. But in the second quarter the pounding of the heavier California line began to tell on Alabama, and California's Vic Bottari hustled around right end for a touchdown from the 3-yd. line. He duplicated the play in the next quarter, and that ended the scoring. California...
