VA Getting Priority,
emocratic Bigwig Says
By Wally Benson
Nothing is more devastating to
free enterprise than a lack of
power when the power potential
is there, Monroe Sweetland, Dem
ocratic national committeeman, as
serted Friday.
{ Speaking to Chamber of Com
merce members at their weekly
luncheon at the Eugene Hotel,
Sweetland stated the Columbia
^klley Administration has been
given top priority over all other
similar projects in the nation. This
priority has been given because of
tragic floods, ever-increasing power
shortages and the rapid growth of
Oregon’s population, he said.
Austin F. Flegel, state senator
from Multnomah county, originally
was scheduled to speak but was
unable to appear because of an
attack of influenza.
ADVANTAGES LISTED
“The CVA transcends all party
ines,” Sweetland stated. “Let us
ixamine it in view of the facts,
lot on the advice of a few private
nterests. It is of the utmost im
lortance to strip the controversy
)f all political partisanship.”
Sweetland presented four advan
tages of a valley administration to
Ihe region:
ONE: It will combine the duties
ot the Bonneville Power Adminis
tration, United States Army En
gineers, and Bureau of Reclama
tion under a single administrative
board.
TWO: The agencies will be able
to present a coordinated plan
rather than several isolated and
often conflicting ideas.
THREE: The headquarters will
be located in the Northwest. Local
advisory boards will be set up with
out long chains of command
stretching back to Washington.
FOUR: Congress will have an
over-all plan for Northwest devel
opment. The present Washington
"bureaucracy” is incapable of
meeting all the neds of the region.
NAMES OPPONENTS
. SweetJand named the private
power interests, the fertilizer trust,
and agencies of the federal govern
ment as chief opponents of CVA.
Sweetland denied that the three
man board would have too much
power and would not be responsible
to the people it represents. Two of
the three members will be men
from the Northwest with offices
in this area, he said. If they prove
incompetent, they can be removed.
The whole plan is subject to am
endment if it proves unworkable.
