SEATTLE WVFBI agent struck in unison in four states early
Wednesday in a crackdown against seven persons described by the
Justice Department as Communist Party leaders in Washington State.
Bond set for them ranged from $25,000 to $40,000. ... -In

F. Ford Northrop, head of the
electric division of the fcugene
Water and Power board, and sec
retary of a Northwest power or
ganization, has developed a plan
for a Northwest Power commission,
Mh iiwtor an interstate compact
would set up a regional body for
control and administration of pow
er resources of the region, n is u
answer to the CVA idea and a shut
from federal to regional adminis
tration. . - ' - .
Northrop would have a commis
gion composed of three members
from each of the four northwest
.tatotf whose waters ' drain into
the Columbia (omitting Wyoming
and Utah). Appointments would be
made by the Governors. The com-
mission wouia nave puwn -,
struck hydroelectric piauw
steam generating plants and trans
mission lines and ; sell energy at
wholesale IU financing would be
by revenue bonds or through pub
nnnrnnriations. It could con
tract with federal agencies on mul
in mm works such as navi
gation aids and reclamation. Rev
enues could be used only for op-
aratinn - and construction. - CtC. Of
electric facilities. (No subsidies
for irrigation).
Thi does cresent a constructive
program by one who while employ
ed in a municipal operation is a
nt inralist in his philisophy. It
does put flesh in the compact idea
which .has gone so far as to re
ceive a congressional permission
for negotiation. r- ;
There are some : important hur
dles to be overcome. For example
Idaho insists on use of power prof
its for financing reclamation wore,
as Is beine done at Grand Coulee.
Also, unless the Commission is
given very,, very broad powers it
might find itself hamstrung since
amending the compact would re
quire unanimous approval of state
and the vote of Congress. -Finally
the complication of ad
' ministration where dams are used
trol, aid to navigation,: irrigation,
power with the federal government
controlling part of these functions
might be enought to frighten away
support, f inally we may De cer
tain that tne. xeaerai agencies,
corps of engineers and bureau of
reclamation will yield none of
their Dreroratives and in the show
down Congress may be unwilling
to surrender any of its powers.
But Mr. Northrop presents the
first well-rounded proposal for a
regional authority to administer
the great natural resources of
water in our streams.' It merits
careful study. ;

Eisenhower told the delegates he
had not come before them to curry
any special favor nor to "bid or
compete for your endorsement.''
"Take whatever political action
your conscience dictates," he add
ed. "I will always try to be a true
friend of labor-". !
He said some-of the principles
he thought should "continue In
law" were:" - '-
"The encouragement i of collec
tive bargaining; the right to strike;
an advance notice before a strike
is called; a requirement that both
unions and employers live up to
contracts; the assurance that mem
bers of unions get a regular report
on their organization's finances."
Used to Break Unions
Eisenhower declared he knew
that Taft-Hartley law. as -it
stands, might be used to : break
unions, and was applauded, when
he declared: I v
"That must be changed. Ameri
