The ex-President said his stand on the federal government in the! power business was that the gov ernment should get out of the "so cialistic and bureaucratic empire building by way of operating the powerhouses and distributing pow- ' . . mm. . a. er. tnai ine jeaerai governmenx should sell its power at the bus bar power connection made at damsite). to the municipalities, the states and the private utilities. Referring further to the grave misstatements," Hoover said he did not veto the first multiple purpose dam for hydroelectric power, but that he did veto the Norris Dam bill because there was' not adequate protection for the Treasury. "I have advocated mulupie-pur- post dams when justified for the past 30 years," Hoover said. "Fur ther, I had a large part in bring ing about and almost completed during my administration the . . , first and largest multiple-purpose dam in our country. This was the Hoover Dam on the Colorado." Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic nominee, told a democratic rally here that the present administra tion was going back to the Hoover power policies of 1931. . Hoover, here for a brief fishing vacation, left by plane for San Francisco Monday after replying to Stevenson's remarks. Die Calls for, : Billions More Highway Aid BOLTON LANDING, N.Y. President ' Eisenhower called by proxy Monday night for billions more of highway construction to meet defense needs of atomic war and of a possible population of 200 million by, 1970. Through Vice President Nixon, the President proposed to the an nual conference of governors a federal-state alliance in a "grand plan" of road development. He said 50 billion dollars over the years will be only a good start toward meeting requirements of a 200 million population. But he didn't come right out and propose spending that amount. . In the international field, the chief executive declared that in times of crises we must maintain "a military dike on our defense perimeter." And, sketching in b xad terms I the American philosophy' of gov ernment, ne saia n represents Die middle "road between nihilistic chaos and enslaved regimenta tion." Eisenhower cancelled a personal appearance at the feovernors con ference because of the death of a sister-in-law, Mrs. Milton -Eisen-however. Vice President Nixon took his place .for a prepared ad dress using: the chief executive's notes. .,.- The highway plan was laid be fore state governors already snip ing at a new 900 million dollar highway aid law on grounds it goes against tteir own demands. The governors want the federal govern ment to abandon gasoline and car taxes and let the states use them to finance roads on their own. Cries of "appeasement" " and "deal" rang out at the conference Monday agaibst the new law. Eisenhower bore dovvt on high way improvements as one of the essential home front jobs-that must be done to "further the purposes of America." - The over - riding purposes, he said, are the building of a co operative peace, and the strength ening of America and her friends. But be said they must have an economic base, minus any "blue print for a regimented economy." W.G. Burris Succumbs to Long Jllness . Winston G.
