Stanton The series-of debates held by Senator Neubertfer and Kepresenlalive Sam Coon, relative to the public power con troversy, created widespread attention. Kven' here in Southern Oregon, where our power development must come from private rather than public development, the de bates were followed with considerable interest. As predicted earlier in this column, public attention was focused on the novelty of the act rather than on the arguments Ihemselves. People were more interested in the sideshow than in the circus. In fact, the debaters brought lorth few issues which hadn't been hashed over time and again in the past. It is iiesuonaiie wnemer pie conceived opinions of listeners were changed. Those fa voring public power probably still favor public power, while those who went to the debates believing in develop ment of power by private enterprise are still of the same mind. The arguments may be resolved, I believe, into a sim ple statement that Coon believe in the old adage that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, while Neuberger prefers to gamble on baiting the two elusive biids. Coon argued that private enterprise is prepared to fi construction of John Dav dam in return for power distribution rights for 50 years. Neuberger argued that only the government can furnish cheap power and that only kj ..p lfm I cC Al.l KOmrllli cheap power will attract industry.

Congress' watchdog on spending, disclosed Wednesday it has advised against any quick settlement that would sign away the government's right to a court test on whether the Dixon-Yates contract is "void or voidable." It appears certain the recom mendation played a part in the decision by the Atomic Energy Commission to hold up action pend of the pact. Ihe AfcaL. stand came to light Monday in a letter from Lewis L. Strauss, AEC chairman, to Sen. Anderson (D-NM), chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Com mittee. Robert F. Keller, assistant to Comptroller General Joseph Camp hell who heads the GAO. told Wednesday of that agency's part in the matter in response to a reporters queries. He said there had been two go-stow letters, both answering AEC inquiries about the long disputed, now dead contract. Keller said A EC first asked for advice soon after President Eisen hower directed last July 11 that the contract be canceled. Later the commission sought clarification of GAO's position and a second letter was sent Oct. 3. Strauss' letter to Anderson was dated Oct. 7. The purport of both GAO letters I was the same. The agency advised I AEC that it believed the contract was valid to the extent that the requirement to make it effective had been met. Some congressional critics of the contract disputed . ; this. ! I But GAO said the congressional I investigation of the contract, con ! ducted by an antimonopoly sub ' committee under chairmanship of Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn) had raised 1 a question of whether the contract was "contrary to public policy." 1 If this were held to be the case legally, the government would not have to pay any settlement costs, ' running probably to .several mil lion dollars. I Kefauver has contended his sub committee uncovered a "conflict of i interest" law violation in connec ' lion with the contract, and has I asked the Justice Department to i study this. The alleged violation chiefly con i cerned the role of Adolphe H. Wen ' zell, former vice president of the First Boston Corp.. New York in vestment banking firm. ' Wenzell served the Budget Bu ' reau as a consultant on the Ten- I naeeaa Vfllldv Anlhnrilv u-hilp still working for First Boston, and wrote a report which Kefauver says led to the Dixon-Yates con tract. First Boston laler became financial agent for the Dixon-Yates private power group. Britain's Unions Threaten Fight With Bevanites By TOM OCHILTREE MARGATE, England Brit ain's powerful trade union leaders Wednesday threatened the left, wing Bevanites with ? fiijht to the fin ish unless they quit trying "to di vide the Labor Party." Charles GVldes, president of the giant Trades Union Congress, de livered this blunt union warning to the Labor Parly's annual confer ence; "An attack on the voting system of this parly conference has now developed into an attack on the 'whole trades union movement." he said. "The trade unions know how to fight. It would be a tragedy if they had to direct their force j against the new enemy." 1 Geddes did not mention left wing leader Aneurin Bevan by name. He j did not need to. Every one of the I 1,500 persons in the Congress Hall ; knew to whom he was referring, j Bevan angered union bosses at ; a closed conference session Tues day when he said the forces that sought his expulsion from the La i bor Party bore some responsibility i for the party's defeat by the Con ' servatives in the national elections last .May. ; That broke the uneasy armistice i belwcen the party moderates ' backed by the big union leaders and the left-wingers whose strength comes from local, party branches.

'that idea Went Ollt with thp terials may decline sharply after 'and filled the Kremlin bosses with ; mink .roat ('eeP freeze and 5 per The battle lines for the Big Four foreign ministers' meeting at Ge neva Oct. 27 are now being drawn. In fact they are being fixed so firmly that a stalemate appears almost inevitable at that conference. Within the past few days the i leaders of the West have decided I to give priority at Geneva to the I is s ile of German unification. This is the one matter the Russians ev idently do not wish to discuss real istically. As has been well aired before, the Kremlin will have no part of a unified Germany attached, as Western Germany now is, to NATO and the allied family of free i nations. I The only idea the Big Three dip- j lomats have come up with to make such an arrangement halfway pal-1 alablc to the Russians is a E.irop-1 ean security pact to protect all i sides from a remilitarized, Western-oriented Germany, I This plan, authored by Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden of Brit ain, is now being hammered into final shape for Geneva. But every thing indicates the Russians will not buy it. They believe time and circum stance are on their side. Having es tablished diplomatic relations with the Bonn government of Chancel lor Adenauer, they think they can deal directly on the unity issue without the intervention of the West. They do not expect the crusty old chancellor to buckle and give them the kind of unification the Communists want. But they know he must die some time, and they figure his successor might not re sist so well the pressures within West Germany for restoration of the full nation. Perhaps they imagine that even he will find his purpose eroded by time, that he will one day make a deal with the East German Red regime because he has at last real-, ized unity any other way is impos- sible. However that may be, the imme-i diale prospect for settlement of the f question at Geneva is dark indeed. : The Geneva agenda does have! two other ma.ior items, disarma-! ment and the improvement of East-: West contacts. Progress of the disarmament ef- forts recently made under UN au spices does not augur well for this j item. Perhaps the foreign minis-1 ters can find some way to break1 the log jam, but it would be a sur-1 prise if they did. East-West contacts already have shown some betterment in the months before and after the "sum mit" meeting at Geneva. Further improvement surely would be wel comed. But it is exceedingly doubt ful that this alone would be enough to allow the world to hail the for eign ministers meeting as a great triumph. Once Oct. 27 arrives and the dip lomats of East and West get down to cases, they will find themselves hard pressed to keep the heralded "spirit of Geneva" from flagging. Derelict Barge Towed Into Port ASTORIA W The Coast fiuard cutler Yocona towed a derelict barge into port here Tuesday night. The cutter picked up the 75-foot barge in the ocean some 40 miles off Coos Bay Monday morning. The barge had broken loose from the molorship Tanginn in heavy seas Sunday. The tug Salt Air. also abandoned by the Tanginn Satur day, was towed into Coos Bay Monday by the culler Bonham. The tug's four crewmen were unhurt. Ihe motorship, the lug and the barge were en route from Van couver, B. L.. to San Diego when the tug developed pump trouble in a storm. The next day the line on which the Tanginn was towing the barge snapped. A plane from the Port Angeles. Wash., Coast Guard station spotted the barge and guided Ihe Yocona to it. The eulter tried to take it to Coos Bay but could not cross the rough bar and proceeded here. The Tanginn continued its voy age to San Diego. All three craft are owned by Sea Tankers Inc., with offices in San Francisco. The barge, built this year in Japan, had a partial lumber cargo.
