The Thomas bill would pro
vide for development of power
incident to other public works,
such as reclamation and flood
control projects.
The projects would have first
call on such power as needed for
operating use. Revenues from sale
of surplus power would be used
to repay costs of the power instal
lation, then applied to the cost of
other features of the projects, in
cluding irrigation units.
No transmission lines could be
constructed or acquired except by
congressional authorization and no
projects could be constructed pri
marily to produce power.

Department, would be the sale .Register-Guard, Eugene. Ore., Sun., Aug. 21, 1049 Pans SA

Senator Thomas (D-Oklai de
layed action with a series of 30-
minute speeches. He repeatedly
suggested an agreement to vote
Monday when senators away for
the weekend would be present.
Public power line exponents
told reporters at least nine of
.the missing senators would vote
with Thomas. On Monday, they
said, some of their own ' sup
porters will be missing.
Both sides apparently will be
ready Tuesday. A close vote is
indicated.
The first test of the public
power question will come on
funds in the $590 million Interior
Department appropriations bill
for the transmission line program
of the Southwestern Power Administration.
The House voted to give SPA
$9 million. The Senate Appro
priations Committee cut it to
$3,874,020. eliminating certain
transmission lines.
Thomas said it's time the nation
developed a public power policy
in proper legislative manner in
stead of voting on policy ques
tions in an appropriations mil.
The Oklahoman introduced
bill which he said oould be used
as a basis for hearings by the Sen-
ate Public Works Committee on the
power policy question. Chairman
Chavez (D-NM) of that commit
tee said it would be considered and
that his group may visit some of
the nation's hydro-electric dams
this fall to study the problem of
isting contracts would not be In
terfrred with.
Excess power could be sold only
at wholesale from the dam or from
federal transmission lines. Prefer-

would be given to REA coopera
tives, non-profit irrigation and wa
ter projects, federal agencies for
