As chairman (1941-46) of the TVA, he fought bitter battles with various competing private interests, and he insisted on nonpolitical administration. He was appointed chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission by President Truman, and in that office (1947-49) he was a pioneer in civilian control of the American atomic-energy program. He wrote TVA, Democracy on the March (1944, new ed. 1953), This I Do Believe (1949), Big Business: A New Era (1953), and Change, Hope and the Bomb (1963).
