Improved Service
Said Behind BPA
Decen tralization
Two motives behind the decentralization flip Tinnnp-
ville Power Administration are improving service and cut
ting costs, Paul J. Raver, chief of the BPA, told a joint meet
ing of BPA men and distributors Tuesday.
Raver pointed to the decentralization as a move tn flip
"grassroots," a closer working "
relation between the poyer.'tJ- Tftmoc '

The Eugene office, alone with
three others in the northwest, was
raised in authority recently to the
point where officials here can act
in many cases without previous
authorization from the Portland
office.
Or, as Raver said, the home of
fice sets the policies and stand
ards the Eugene, Walla Walla.
Spokane, and Seattle offices carry
them out.
These area managers are "my
right arm to carry out my man
dates in order to render the best
possible service at the lowest pos
sible cost," Raver said.
THE BPA BOSS said he expects
operating costs to be cut by the
new move because of speedier
working relations between cus
tomer and the BPA. He pointed
out that the annual maintenance
construction cost has jumped from
$15 million to $50 million in a
very Jew years.
He thinks, by cutting costs, that
expected rate increases may be
stalled off. He warned a House
appropriations sub-committee re
cently that the increases may be
needed because of mounting costs,
Raver stressed the need for
more dams in the Northwest to
prevent power shortages.
Another morning speaker, Sol
Schultz, chief engineer for BPA
presented the case for steam
plants. The subject of building
power production in the North
west is now before Congress.
HE POINTED to Coos Bay as a
likely spot for a steam plant, and bute the power.

another first: The chauffeured
holdup man.
A masked bandit, driven by
a liveried chauffeur in an ex
pensive auto, held up two serv
ice stations Tuesday. After both
jobs he stepped to his car and
commanded: "Home, James."
John Sala, attendant in a
Downey station, told sheriff's
officers the highwayman wore
a grotesque red devil mask.
Sala surrendered $64.78. The
elite bandit got only $16 in his
Norwalk holdup.

plant, another means of increasing
power production.
Schultz also said that a con
nection between BPA and Cali
fornia power sources is justified
to help alleviate power short
ages during some time of the year
here.
William A. Dittmer, head of the
BPA customer service depart
ment, explained to the group the
functions of the new department
and said he hoped it Would pro.
mote better cooperation with dis
tributors and power users.

the afternoon hinged on better co
