Columbia Compact. This has jdst
been drawn up and will soon be
acted on by the legislatures of
the four states most concerned
-Oregon, Washington. Idaho,
and Montana. After two years of
rocky discussion, 43 representa
tives have agreed on a proposed
compact “to facilitate and pro-
'mote" development of the natur
al resources of the Columbia
River Basin.
Burning brightest now is a
controversy over how to handle
allocation of hydraelectric power I
between the states. Criticism
and praise of the proposed com
pact pile high here.
What the pact provides is a
commission chosen from the I
siaies that would not regulate Í
but plan, oordinate, and recom
mend action as to placement of
dams and distribution of power
generated, as well as the use of

sites.
Yet what many opponents o f !
the compact want is a regional
authority with teeth, run by he
states. It would allocate hydro ¡
sites and plan generally with a
view to the needs of the region
as a whole.
The question Is whether or not
I the Columbia Compact goes far |
enough when it stops short of
delegating operational authority '
to a regionally controlled com- ]
mission. As it stands, final
authority still rests with the in
dividual states. This, the argu-I
ment goes, hops up water re
sources behind state lines.
One answer is that the com-1
I»act today is a cooperative ef
fort, a meeting of minds, and
no doubt the result of a prodi-1
I gious amount of compromise. To
ask seven states, jealous of their!
sovereignty, to go further in one ¡
great leap would probably be
I asking the impossible. Any co-
|operation over water in the West
is encouraging. —The Christian
Science Monitor.

New,Granular HI-PRESS Peat Moss
Saves You lime and Labor. Here’s why:
New HI-PRESS peat moss is different! It’s
concentrated and granulated — but exytands
many times when wetted. This means that a
70 lb. bag of HI-PRESS covers the same area
as a big, awkward bale of regular peat moss.
Thus, HI-PRESS is easier to handle, easier
to store. And HI-PRESS can be applied with
a fertilizer spreader or by hand.
Because HI-PRESS is virtually dust free
and because it may be applied with a spread
er close to the ground, it stays out of your
eyes; doesn't ruin fresh paint. Compressed
granules of HI-PRESS don't blow away.
Available in 5, 20, 50 and 70 lb. bags at all
leading nurseries and garden supply stores.

We welcome Mayor Wagner's

'City’s public school teahers. But
J before the Mayor and the Board
|of Estimate make up their minds
too firmly on the size of this
increase we hope they will take
the trouble to sound out the
opinion of responsible citizens,
including businessmen and oth

It happened that, in the same
issue of this newspaper that car
ried the news of the Mayor’s
decision, a news story appeared
about a threatened strike in
Manhattan and Bronx garages.
Wages of employees in these
¡garages are now $65.99 a week
for floor mean and $72.35 for
¡washers. The union is asking a
10-cent-an-hour increase and oth-
■er benefits. A starting teacher
