construction of Cougar and Green
Peter dams in the Willamette ba
sin. After introducing his bill, Ells
worth Issued a statement warning
that opposition by Oregon Dnmo-
l cratic members of Congress could
possibly block approval 01 nis mil.
Stressing not only the power bene
fits of the two projects, Ellsworth
declared:
"it will be a great shame if our
people are denied this urgently
needed flood control because of
the political opposition of men who
are still living in the New Deal
federal power monopoly days."
This had no sooner hit the pages
of Oregon newspapers when Morse
struck back with a reply that
charged Oregon Republican con
gressmen with "frantic alibiing"
and serving as spokesmen for pri
vate utilities. Urging that Cougar
and Green Peter dams be built
by the federal government, Morse
declared:
"When Republican members of
Congress from Oregon seek to mis
lead the people of Oregon -by state
ments to the effect that votes can
not be obtained in Congress for
the construction of these projects
by the federal government, they
should make clear they are talk
ing about only Republican votes.'
Ellsworth argued that for year
control and power dams had been
kept "out of politics," with the
result that Lookout Point, Detroit,
Fern Ridge and Dorena dams had
been built in the Willamette.
';It is a mean and tragic situa
tion," the GOP congressman ex
claimed, charging Democrats with
making the construction of such
projects a partisan matter. He
said the Pacific Northwest's need
for electric power had gone be
yond the federal government's abil-

Morse shot back that the "part

ary tactic" that would produce
"little power and then only high
cost power." Ho called H a "phon
ey scheme" which he said Con
gress would not go for.
Picking up his argument that it
is Republican opposition that has
Democrats because it has been
Democratic administrations that
have built the great power proj
ects of the Pacific Northwest,
such as Bonneville, Grand Coulee,
The Dalles and McNary. And it
has been Democrats in the House
and Senate who have continued
to fight for them over the opposi
tion of the Republican administration."
