Water Board Decides to Build
Oil Storage Tank at Eighth Ave.
The Eugene Water Board, antic
inating a greater demand for gen
eration of power for sale to other
communities this winter, Monday
night decided to build a 8000 bar
rel oil storage tank at its Eighth
Ave. steam plant
Cooperating in the Northwest
Dower pool, the water board will
generate power for theoretical sale
to other cities during the winter
peak demand periods. This plan,
followed last winter, too, actually
means that the Eugene power sys
tem foregoes delivery of Bonne
ville power and uses the output of
its own oil-f ired steam generators.
However, the difference between

and BPA power Is paid to the
water board by whatever commu
nity or utility that takes the BPA
power thus released.
Superintendent Ray Boals re
ported Tuesday that the power
pool requests operation of the
Eugene system steam generators
at peak use periods because of the
above-average efficiency of these
units. Boals also stated that the
plan works advantageously for
Eugene in a financial way while It
also gives other cities power sup
plies they otherwise could not
have.
Other business at Monday
night's meeting of the water board
included general reaffirmation of
the policy that water customers
outside the city will be served
through legally constituted water
districts. However, the directors
decided, when it is feasible to
serve customers directly as along
the main pipeline from Hayden
Bridge judgment of the board's
engineers will be relied upon to
orovid. flexibility in this rule.
The directors also decided to
deny a request from the Kiwanis
Club for use of a plot of land
south of the Leaburg damsite. The
Kiwanlans asked for permission to
establish a youth camp on the
property, but the board decided
that protection of the public Inter
est would not permit granting the
petition.

Wage Talks
DETROIT OP) President Wal
ter P. Reuther of the CIO United
Auto Workera angrily walked out
on the Ford Motor Co. wage nego
tiations Tuesday, 24 hours after he
entered them.
"All they're doing in there is
fighting theoretical windmills," he
told newsmen. "I'll come back
when they get down to brass tacks,
the practical aspects of the situa
tion." '
Ford vice president John S
Bugas retorted:
"When Reuther talks of theoret
ical windmills, he means we are
not acceding to the union's full
demands."
The UAW-CIO is asking wage
boosts and social security demands
totalling an estimated 28 cents an
hour. The current estimated 'aver
age production wage is $1.52. The
company has offered an 11 to 14
cent an hour wage increase for
mula.
Negotiations continued after
Reuther walked out.

and waved the "New Deal" banner
proudly Monday night in a thun
dering speech that lifted him close
to the Democratic vice presidential
nomination.
The 70-year-old Democratic
Senate leader was given a rousing
28-minute ovation at the end of
his address keynotlng the party's
national convention. It was the
first big outburst of enthusiasm
from the delegates.
i "For the People"
The Kentuckian said the Demo
cratic party deserves victory this
year because of Its 16-year record
of "devotion to the people's wel
fare." He was followed by Mrs. India
Edwards, director of the party's
women's division, who sounded a
battle cry against high prices, and
Miss Frances Perkins, former sec
retary of labor, who called for a
campaign "without mudslinging."
Barkley somberly mentioned the
possibility of war and the efforts
of the Truman administration to
prevent it.

of feeling and spontaneity of con
duct might easily precipitate
armed' conflict." ,
"Obstruction"
He wanted to know if the na-'
lion's fate could be entrusted safe-;
ly to a party which, he said, has
given "obstinate obstruction" to
steps toward peace.
There were cries of "pour it onl"
as Barkley lit into the Republicans.
The Republicans can jeer all
they like at the "New Deal," he'
said, but "the American people!
will not willingly surrender the!
great gains they have made under
it."
The New - Deal, Barkley said,
brought recovery and prosperity '
to the nation with series of "some ;
of the greatest programs ever in
augurated by the American government."
Republicans, he declared, con
demn it with their mouths but en
dorse it in their platforms.
"Let us ask, he suggested, "and
let the American people ask those
who spray this forest of superb
accomplishment with the froth of
their vindictive lips, which tree
will they cut down with their
mighty ax or their puny hatchet?"
Amid loud and frequent ap
plause Barkley accused the Republican-controlled
80th Congress
of trying to "sabotage" the 18
years of Democratic accomplish
ment. By limiting funds, he said, it
sought to cripple such programs
as soil conservation and rural
electrification, and to destroy the
rights obtained by labor.
He said the Republicans failed
to attack the housing problem,
surrendering instead to "the real
estate lobby."
controlling inflation or increasing
the minimum wage from 40 to 70
cents an hour.
All these measures "are a part
of the flock of 'gone geese,' put
to flight by the Republican Con
gress which has just adjourned,"
the senator declared.
The Kentuckian said the Re
publican convention marked a re
turn to political Influence by
Joseph R. Grundy, former Repub
lican senator and one-time head
of the Pennsylvania Manufactur
ers Assn.
Grundy, Barkley said, "exer
cised great Influence in, if he did
not actually dominate" the selec
tion of Rep. Hugh Scott of Penn
sylvania as the new chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee.
