Eisenhower's appointment of
Douglas McKay to the interna
tional Joint Commission promises
a refcirn of the political and ora
torical skirmishes that were so
common between McKay and
Northwest Democrats in Congress
during Eisenhower's first term
when McKay was in the cabinet.
During the year McKay has
been absent from Washington, his
successor, Interior Secretary Fred
A. Seaton, managed to pour
enough oil on the troubled waters
of power and resource develop
ment policy to make for much
smoother sailing for the Eisenhow
er administration.
Cry Din
The old cry of "giveaway" so
often used by the Democrat to
attack McKay and his policies had
all but died out in connection with
Seaton's administration of essen
tially the same controversial pol
icies. McKay, as chairman of the IT.
S. section of the 1JC. will offer
the Democrats a well - known
target for a resumption of attacks
on the "partnership" power policy
of administration. The 1JC deals
with Canada on all water prob
lems involving both countries, and
the main disputes of recent years
have pertained to power projects
such as Libby dam.
But it is unlikely that McKay
will be directly involved in the
most critical negotiations with
Canada looking toward a settle
ment of differences which have
arisen over power development of
the Columbia river. For Eisen
hower and the Canadian govern
ment agreed to take this out of
the hands of the IJC and turn it
over to the diplomats of the two
countries.
Principals Locked
This came about because Len
Jordan, who is stepping out as the
U.S. chairman of the IJC, and
Gen. A.G.L. McNaughton, Can
ada's top man on the IJC, became
locked with no prospect of com
promise on how the two country's
can best share the benefits of the
Columbia.
If the United State doesn't give
Canada some concessions in terms
of power for the upstream water
storage that can be accomplished
at such sites as Mica Creek in
British Columbia, McNaughton
wants Canada to divert part of
the river away irom the worth

west and send it into the Fraser I
river system. This would cost the
Northwest power pool heavily,
ultimately the eauivalent of sev
eral Bonneville dams.
McNaughton is now finishing a
detailed engineering survey of the
feasibility of his Columbia diver
sion scheme. An engineer and a
war hero (he was sort of the Ca
nadian MacArthur), McNaughton
is a tough adversary.
May Run In Idaho
there is no sign now that Mc
Kay is to take over Jordan's
seat, that the replacement is any
thing more than what it appears
that Jordan did resign because
something else became more at
tractive to him. There are reports
Jordan plans to re-enter ldano
politics and run for governor next
year.
McKay and Jordan are similar
in their views on power policy,
both having been strong adherents
of the "partnership" policy invok
ed during McKay's tenure as In
terior secretary. Indeed, McKay
made a personal trip to the an
nual conference of governors, ac
cording to report, to persuade
Jordan to take the IJC job when
his gubernatorial job at Boise ex
pired in 1954. Ironically, it is now
McKay who succeeds him in the
$20,000-a-year job.
Nor is there any indication that
Eisenhower plans to give to Mc
Kay the authority to negotiate
which was taken away from Jor
dan. His new job, therefore, will
involve two semi - annual meet
ings, one in Ottawa in the au
tumn, one in Washington in the
spring, and periodic field inspec
tion trips in between to view cur
rent joint undertakings like the St.
Lawrence Seaway.
Neuberger Asks
For Confirmation
Of Appointments
WASHINGTON UP Sen. Neu
berger (D-Ore) Monday intro
duced a bill to require Senate
confirmation of presidential ap
pointees to Uie international Joint
Commission, the agency dealing
with U.S.. -Canadian waterway
problems.
Neuberger said his proposal is
a direct aftermatt of the naming
of former Interior Secretary Doug
las McKay to chairmanship of the
commission by President Eisen
hower last week.
'Hard Te Imagine'
"Considering that the most im
portant and difficult issue before
the International Joint Commis
sion is the development of the
Columbia Kiver Basin, Neuber
ger told th Senate, "it is hard
to imagine a more inappropriate
federal assignment to give Mr.
McKay.
"I think It is safe to say that
everyone familiar with the cur
rent problems of the commission
has been amazed by Mr. McKay's
appointment.
Neuberger said the selection is
"incredible" because of McKav's
administration of the Interior
Department "in which terrible
damage was don to the power
development in the Columbia
River."
'Suspicion' Becomes 'Certainty'
Development of the Columbia's
water storage capacity and power
potential, the senator said, "has
been stalled during the entire
term of the present administra
tion. ...1 think we may b justified
in the suspicion that the adminis
tration just is not trying. And the
Mcivay appointment to the inter
national Joint Commission goes
far toward turning such suspicion
into certainty.
The Oregon Democrat urged
early resumption of benate com
mittce hearings on the status of
negotiations between the United
States and Canada for use of
Columbia River waters.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hamilton of
