X7 (A0) Proposed pooling of federal and private power recently tbe subject of a White House conference, waa described today by Representative Rankin aa an attempt to "wreck the entire power program ot this administration." A power pool in Southeastern states was suggested at tha third World Power Conference here about two months ago in an sffort to eettle disputes over the transmission lines and related questions In the area aerved by the Tennessee Valley Authority. President Roosevelt subsequently called a conference of private and federal power authorities to consider the suggestion. Rankin said the proposition was Inspired by "power Interests and their sympathisers. "What they hope to do by such a tie-up," he said, "is to destroy tbe TVA yardstick and get control of the vast wealth of hydro electric power in the Tennessee river. If they can succeed in this, then they hope to do tha same thing at Boulder Dam, Grand Coulee, Bonneville, Peck.

St Lawrence and all the other public proj-ecta now under construction or la contemplation." Asserting such action would destroy" tha administration's power program, Rankin added: "It would blast the hopes of more thsn tS. 000, 000 consumers of electricity who are hoping and praying for more decent power rates and would sound tne aeath knell ot rural electrification the greatest farm relief movement bis country haa ever known. "It would take from President Roosevelt the future glory of having secured to the American people electric energy at rates based upon the cost of production snd distribution, and would turn over to tha corrupt powers interests the great wealth of hydro-electric power In our navigable streams.
