WASHINGTON U i- Tradition
ally one of the most important Pa
cific Northwest stories to come out
of Congress each year is the appro
priation bill for .the Department
of Interior. f
Because it controls the distribu
tion of government-produced pow
er, on which much of the area de
pends, and governs the reclama
tion of land on which to produce
crops for the region's fast-growing
population, the . bill probably af
fects more Northwest residents
than any other measure to come
before Congress.
Money-wise it closely rivalsi
frooi a regional standpoint goy
ernftaent expenditures for dam con
struction .made through the Army
Engineers. j
The Interim bill was even mote
of a Northwest story this year with
Sen. Cordon (R-Ore) heading Uie
appropriations subcommit
tee which conducted the lengthy
hearings involved. Cordon also
guided the measure through the
Senate and the give-and-take f

Served From II A. M.J J UQiff
Bills
conferences in which Senate and
House differences were ironed out.
Hearings Big Job
The Interior hearings alone were
a big jobrunning morning and
afternoon, and sometimes eve
ings, from April 14 through June
3. The subcommittee, frequently
with the Oregon senator the only
member in attendance, heard 515
witnesses and amassed 2361 pages
of testimony.
At the same time, however. Cor
don had the floor managership of
the controversial submerged lands
bills, was engaged in the Interior
Committee's struggles over Hawaii
statehood and, according to many
observers, was calling the shots
for Secretary of Interior McKay
during the ex-Oregon governor's
early days in the Cabinet
Praises Cordon
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith R
Me) recently said, "if Jhere was
a bill that I wanted to get the Sen
ate to pass and I felt that the go
ing might get tough, I would want
Sen. Guy Cordon to be the "floor
manager on that bill." ,
A typical example of Cordon's
approach came on a bill to author
ize increased appropriations for
the Ekhitna hydroelectric project
near Anchorage, Alaska. He intro
duced the measure and, when it
was referred to the Senate Inter
ior Committee, he promptly stood
up and reported it out with the
committee's approval. . The House
committee kicked the same bill
around for months before finally
approving it.
Despite his obvious influence,
Cordon prefers to remain behind
the scenes. Actually, if it can be
said of any political figure, it can
be said that Cordon shuns public
ity. Few public announcements
issue from his office. Newsmen use
it largely as a fount of background
information.
Northwest customers of private
utilities will have particular rea
son to be thankful to Cordon in the
event another low-water year cuts
back the region's hydroelectric
power production and forces the
utilities to resort - to steam-generated
energy.
Question of Cost
One 'of the biggest issues to come
before the Cordon subcommittee
this year was: Should the cost of
such steam-generated energy be ab
sorbed by the Bonneville Power
Administration or, as it was last
winter, be borne by. the private
utilities alone and passed on to
their customers?
Led by ,Allan A. Smith, attorney
for Pacific Power & Light Co. and
Mountain States P6wer Co., pri
vate utilities urged absorption of
the cost by Bonneville. Because
the power so produced was put into
the Northwest Power Pool for dis-
tributipn by Bonneville, the entire
region benefitted, they said, from
its production.
Arguments Gives
Without the steam power, the
utilities estimated it would have
been necessary to curtail power
deliveries 30 per cent instead of
the 10 per cent actually ordered.
In such circumstances, utility rep
resentatives argued, the costs
should not be charged against the
private utilities alone.
Taking this position in testimony
before the subcommittee were, in
addition to Smith, Thomas W. Del
tell, chairman of the board of Port
land General Electric Co.; Frank
McCaslin, president, Oregon Port
land Cement Co.; Robert H. War
rens, Forest Grove, Ore., farmer;
Lew Garbutt, manager, Yakima,
Wash., Chamber of Commerce who
also appeared for the Walla Walla
Chamber; W. E. Jamieson. Ore
gon Steel Mills, Portland; Charles
H. Heltzel, Oregon public utilities
commissioner; and Cliff Erdahl,
chairman of the Pacific Northwest
Utilities Conference and commis
sioner of public utilities at Tacoma,
Wash.
Asks Costs Absorbed
Paul Raver, Bonneville Power
administrator, also agreed the
costs should be absorbed by the
entire power pool rather than as
sessed only against customers of
private utilities.
Only two witnesses opposed ab
sorption by Bonneville.
Sen. Morse of Oregon said he
was "opposed to the federal gov
ernment subsidizing the private
utilities inany way in regard to
a surcharge which, in my judg
ment, they should assume for
themselves out of profits."
Monroe Sweetland, Oregon legis
lator and Democratic national com
mitteeman, said the utilities had
rejected contracts with Bonneville
for firm power some years ago in
favor of lower cost dump power.
Therefore, he said, "steam costs
were the result of an anticipated
and consciously assumed risk of
the business. Costs should have
been absorbed, as the profit mar
gins amply would permit, by the
private utilities without penalties
on consumers or taxpayers as they
are now requesting."
The subcommittee sided with the
majority witnesses and recom-I
i i .i l n :n i sat
nrenaea uiai oonneruie eoirr miu
contracts for steam-generated pow
er to meet demand in a km water
year. The report of the House
Senate conferees also directed the
secretary of Interior "to eliminate
such inequities in the future."

OTTAWA, Canada Progressive
Conservative leader G e r g t
Drew (above), leader of the
opposition in the Canadian par
liament, is seeking to oust the
Liberal Party from control f
the He use. The Liberals have
been ia the saddle for over 29
years. The main cry of the
Progressive Conservatives has
been "If s time for a Change."
They hope' to make this change
ia the federal election, Aug. 10.
(AP Wirephoto.)
Canadians to
Hold National
ElectionToday
OTTAWA, Ont. m The Liberal
Party confidently puts its case be
fore Canada's voters in a national
election Monday.
There is an air of resignation in
the opposition camps. Evidently on
ly the most optimistic of their cam
paign workers see a chance that
the Liberals will lose the control
they have held It years.
About 84 million voters will have
their say on whether to continue
the government headed by Prime
Minister Louis St. Laurent.
The main opposition party, the
Progressive Conservatives, cam
paigned under the national leader
ship of the same man who led it to
a crippling defeat in 1949 elections.
He is George Drew, 59, former
premier of Ontario.
Ho-Hniq Campaign
The campaign has been pretty
much a ho-hum affair.
The Conservatives raised the cry
of "Spend and spend, tax and tax"
but with hardly as much heat as
the Republicans showed last year
in the United States. A Conserva
tive victory. Drew predicted, would
bring a one-ninth cut in spending
with resultant tax cuts.
Praise Tax Program
The liberals responded that pres
ent taxes the income rate was cut
slightly this year insure sound fi
nancing with budget surpluses in
stead of deficits.
In some ways, the Conservatives
promised to do everything the Lib
erals hiave done, and more, but
with increased efficiency.
They assured voters they have
no intention of tinkering with such
benefits as the federal "baby bo
nus," which pays mothers S5 to $8
a month for every child under 16.
Public Hearing on
Meliama-Salem
Route Thursday
A public hearing on the pro
posed new Mehama-Salem section
of the: North Santiam Highway
will be; held at Stayton Thursday,
the State Highway Commission
reported over the weekend.
Time and place of the meeting
will be announced later.
The rpublic hearing is being
held to hear objections, if ay,
from residents of Stayton, Sub
limity land Aums ville to the re
location of the highway.
According to state highway de
partment plans the new , road
would by-pass all three towns,
going between Stayton and Sub
limity. The current road passes
through Stayton and one section
of it goes through Sublimity and
Aumsville.
The proposed route would leave
the present highway several miles
east of Stayton and then connect
with the East Salem by pass high

Rhee Assures
Dulles of Plans
To Obey Truce
HONOLULU m Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles said Sun
day he had "categoric assurance"
from President Syngman Rhee that
the South Koreans would not up
set the newly won peace in Korea.
Dulles and his party stopped
briefly in Hawaii en route to Den
ver to report to President Eisen
hower on his mission to Korea.
The secretary of state negotiated
and initialed a U. S.-South Korea
mutual security pact.
Dulles declined comment on
other topics but said that as far
as continued peace in Korea is
concerned, "We have a formal
signed agreement."
He said any new outbreak in
Korea would "depend on the Com
munists.
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge,
chief U. S. delegate to the United
Nations, said that what he had
seen "makes one believe that the
armistice will stick."
Lodge said he was very much
impressed with the fighting trim
of United Nations forces in Korea.
Dulles' Constellation was sched
uled to leave Hickam Field at
3 p. m. for Travis Air Base near
San Francisco. An Air Force
spokesman said, however, it might
fly nonstop to Denver.
