isklcnl plugged hard for
ier policy of encourag-
utilities to develop hy-
! potentialities of rivers
the government will
stments for navigation
control.
jnglhy rebuttal, the Na
tal Electric Co-operative
lied that over a third of
the more than 900 operating rural
co-ops and public utility districts
depend upon federal dams for
their power supply. They have
preference over private utilities
in obtaining the output of government-built
dams.
The organization claimed that
in many areas these rural utili
ties could not exist except for
low-cost federal power delivered
to their load centers over federal
transmission lines or wheeled to
them pver private power company
lines.
TWO OBJECTIONS
"If your McNary Dam speech is
to be taken as the state of the
administration's power policy,
then ... it will foretell the end
of an aggressive dynamic rural
electrification program in all
areas where the systems must de-
f
oiice to Hunters...

pend upon low-cost federal
power," the NRECA declared
You indicated that the admin
istration would go forward with
dam construction which local en
terprise could not undertake,"
said the group. "This statement
sounds good, but it has two weak
nesses so far as the rural elec
trification program is concerned:
(1) The administration is not
backing up this statement be
cause it is not starting new pro
jects in areas where they are
badly needed. 12) Your reference
10 local enterprise building tnc
projects would in euect mean
that the commercial power com
panies would lay- claim to the bet
ter sites (for) only the giant
power companies are large
enough, as a rule, to develop the
better sites."
FORESEE DEPENDENCE
In short, the co-ops told Eisen
hower the "partnership" policy
holds out the prospect for many
of them of becoming dependent
upon gaining their new sources
of energy from the large utilities
that would develop the hydroelec
tric features of new dams and
where "the benefits must be si
phoned off through . power com
pany toll gates."
"The rural electric systems
seem to never get any of the
benefits of the low-cost hydro
power when sites are developed
by the commercial companies
which, for the most part, are the
avowed and self-proclaimed ene
mies of the rural electrification
systems," said NRECA.
NO MONOPOLY SEEN
co-op leaders expressed par
ticularly disagreement with Eisen
hower's note of concern about a
possible federal monopoly of the
electric industry. They said 80
per cent of the electric industry
is privately developed today. The
association said the President's
criticism of advocates of federal
power development "sounds like
an echo of the power companies'
constant propaganda line."
"Are the farmers and others
who want low-cost power more
selfish than the Wall Street in
vestor monopolists who control
most of the power companies and
who seek to monopolize the bet
ter hydro-electric sites for the
prime purpose of increasing their
own profits?" asked the associa
tion.
The group said the president's
speech, when applied to atomic
power, of the future, "will mean
that the farmers of the U.S. can
look forward to only the crumbs
which an atomic energy monopoly
sweeps from the table of privi
lege."
WATCH THE PHEASANTS! Motorists who drive on
rural roads these fall days might take heed of the ex
perience of fanner Sam Dohner, of Pottsville; Pa., who
unexpectedly bagged a ringneck pheasant the hard way.
Low-flying bird splattered right through the windshield
of Dohner's pick-up truck and landed dead on the truck
cab floor. Dohner was unhurt but plenty scared.
