POLITICAL CONTROLS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
We wonder how many people who support a Columbia
Valley authority project would accept the same type of
management for their own businesses.
Would Joe Doakes, as the owner of the Doakea Hard
ware company, permit the mayor of the town to appoint
three political henchmen to run his store, knowing lull
well that the three men would be selected for their political
value to the mayor rather than their ability to run a hard
ware store?
Sounds silly, doesn't it? Yet, isn't that exactly what we
propose to do under CVA?
Several Oregon cities have changed from council to man
ager form of government in recent years. Kath city, before
making the change, was extremely careful to safeguard
representative government. Ordinances delegating authority
to city managers preserve policy making in the hands of
councils or commissions and contain provisions whereby
managers may be removed from their positions with the
least possible fuss whenever such action is justified.
How many cities would have a manager if the law pro
vided that the manager was to be appointed by the governor
of the state, who also would appoint the council or com
missioners? The governor, we could be sure, would pay
off political debts by such appointments. His appointees
would be named because of their service to the governor
or the political party rather than for their ability in city
administration.
Who Would Manage CVA?
No individual would permit his business to be man

"Tick's" Tips On
Veterans Hospital
By L. J. "Tick" Malarkey
Last Monday in the hustle and
hurry to get things packed (or a
cruiae down stream there simply
wasn't time to get really ac
quainted wiU. tho two Red Cross
girls who were with us that day.
Called the News-Review and told
Warren Mack that the "top brass"
were among us and that in "Pri
vate M's" opinion a picture (or tho
paper would be a fine idea. "O.
K." said Warren.
So Milton "Micky" Hard with his
camera, got on the balls of his feet
and by this "pecking" no doubt
five lovely ladiea have smiled at
our readers from the sheets of this
paper. Just briefly did your Old
Reporter get to bat the breeze be
cause Barbara Phinney and Alice
frail were being double timed
throughout every department of
Roseburi VA hospital. Marion
W arson who has aucceeded Mary
ana Peterson was doing the honors
with the helD of everv department
head.
Barbara Phinney ia with the Red
Cross stationed in Washington,
D. C.
Alice Prall works directly under
Barbara's supervision out of the
San Krancisco office. Veterans hos
pitals is their field and speciality.
Official titles this writer doesn't
worry over. All he knows is what
he saw in short the girl from
Washington and the girl from San
Francisco have what it takes. They
know their way around; they have
been at their profession for quite
a spell. They understand the many
problems of a disabled veteran.
They get along fine with em.
Please pardon the personal refer
ence, ln a scrap book at home are
the letters received from each of
our three sons while they were
overseas in this last Big Parade
and Argument. From son Donald,
while he was in England before the
luist Airborne dropped into
Normandy, is a letter. A auote fol
lows :
"Dad. I don't know what we
would do without the Red Cross
over here. They do everything lor
us." The date of this letter is just
before Christmas 1943. Sounds that
this may be malarkey because of
the fact that there is a membershiD
drive, on. The quotes are just as
Donald wrote them they are gos
pel truth.

Yet we find many people beating the drums today in
favor of a river valley administration, dictatorially con

President.
Who would the President appoint?
We may be sure that appointments would reward party

Qualifications for members of the board of directors are
that two shall be residents of the region, that each shall
be a citizen of the I'nited States, that no director shall be
engaged in any other business or have a financial interest
in a private power company and that "nil mtmbert of the
board slmll be person ii ho prnfmn a belief in (he feasibility
and whdom of thin Act." (The italics are ours.)
Nowhere does the act require that a director shall have
any knowledge of business, conservation, engineering, eco
nomics, political science, or any other subject. The prin
cipal qualification is that he subscribe to the socialistic, or
communistic, purpose of the CVA act.
Good Business Judgment Required
The Pacific Northwest is an empire within Itself. Its
natural resources contain potential wealth virtually un
equalled in the world. Development of these resources de
mands the utmost business acumen and judgment. Re
sources as vital as are those of this region, if they are
to be controlled, should be controlled by men having qualifi
cations other than faithful service to a socialistic regime.
