CHATTANOOGA, Tennes­see, Sept. 15—(Exclusive)— Brutalized Negro workers un­der the Tennessee Valley Au­thority faced their white bosses last Wednesday in a secret hear­ing: presided over by Gordon Clapp, TVA pesonnel director, and re­peated the charges they had made before a Congressional committee at Knoxville a few weeks ago.

One by one, these sturdy men took the stand and, with some bitterness, recounted the story of their ordeals under these white bosses.

It was reliably reported to The Courier that these foremen and officials entered a blan-ket denial to s*ll the charges, except that one foreman admitted that he did "curse a heap." He, however, de-nfcfci that he committed any acts of brutality.

Among the Negro workers who took the stand were Wallace But­ler, better known a i Kokomo;
