SECONDPOWER LINE TO LINK TWO PROJECTS Bonneville Circuit to ; Tap Seattle PLANSREVEALED Loop Far North Instead of : Paralleling First Line Planned . Roosevelt Blames Senate y For Uncertain Situation Declares Refusal to Act on Neutrality Will Have Adverse Economic Effect Portland, Or., July 21 '111 A sec ond iransmission line connecting Bonneville and Grand Coulee power plant by way of Tacoma and Seattle, instead of paralleling the first Bonne-ville-Coulee circuit, has been ap proved by. Secretary of tho Interior Harold L. Ickes, the Oregon Jaumal announced here today. . The new line was revealed in an exclusive Journal dispatch, from Washington and was confirmed by Actlruj Bonneville Administrator Bank in Portland today. Details had not been received from Washington, Banks said, but the new 22030-volt line, to cost approxi mately $3,000,000, would take oil from the circuit already approved to near Chehali and would follow a northerly direction. It would pass east of Tacoma and Seattle, then turn east, crossing the Cascades through one of several passes to make a second connection with the Grand Coulee plant- Four advantages were pointed out bv Administrator Banks in construct' ing the new line, which he said, was part of a so-called master plan for a federal power grid ultimately con. necting all important power systems of Ihe Pucilic northwest. 1. It would safeguard the tie-in of the two great federal power plants by providing two separate circuit instead of placing all on one. : 2. It would permit Bonneville, and later Grand Coulee, to serve a wider range of consumers by tapping five more -Washington counties that are organized as public utility districts. 3. It would permit standby ue-ln with Seattle city light and Tacoma citv liflht systems and with the mu- nlMnal MMlMn at Fllnahtlra avtltctl "Heaven" Plans ,4i airute-wt4SYtti power. 4. It would contribute to the na tional defense. Banks pointed out that while a se vere sleet storm or other disaster might put both circuits out of com mission if they were paralelled, it is unlikely they would go out together if separated. . Part of the cost of the new circuit ' i i . . ;j i t : .1 lata is a!auy proviueu iui ui uic iw 40 Bonneville budgets, together with enough funds to complete tne first tine to Grand Coulee.

Y., July 21 (UJ?) President Roosevelt said today that refusal of the senate to act at this session on neu trality has killed off a nice little business boom and will have an adverse economic effect until next January. Roosevelt, speaking at a press conference, again empha sized that full responsibility for refusal to revise the neutral ity law must be accepted by the senate. The senate, he said, is gambling against the possibility of war this year, and the result of its refusal to act will have an adverse economic effect. 1 he Dresident described a conversation he had with a prominent business man this week. The businessman, he said, discussed the effect the senate postponement may have - on business, and they concluded that the postpone ment probably cut short a nice boom. . Situation Uncertain With the international situation and its effects on this country highly uncertain, the president said, busi nessmen will hesitate to make com mitments because they can have no idea of what form a neutrality bill wilt take if congress act on the issue when it meet again next January. . Accepting the fact that the senate will not act, Roosevelt said, all he can do now is pray that there will not be another serious crisis in Europe be fore congress meets again. He said, however, that a crisis alone would not force him to convene congress for a special session, pointing out that other crises have come and gone without developing actual war. But he said, from every capital in Europe without exception, this gov ernment has received evidence of preparations being made for an even tuality that those capitals believe to be fairly close. The preparations, he said, appear to be moving at a fast rate. The president gave no indica tion that he plan to take the issue of neutrality to the country. There can't be any immediate issue before the country, be said, because groups in the senate have precluded any action until next January. : Xelts of Conference He noted that at his conference with democratic and republican sen ate leaders this week, he waa- UY formed that 100 per" cent of senate republicans and about one-third of tht aena le -oemoaraaatauiai sanipsel tha movement to prevent a vote on neutrality. Under senate rules, he said, such a large group could pre vent action and those groups must accept full responsibility for then-decision. Seated In his study at his Hyde Park estate, Roosevelt reviewed at some length the White House confer ence. The keystone of the neutrality program is repeal of the provision for arms embargoes against belliger ents and Roosevelt confirmed news paper stories which quoted him as telling the conferees that he wanted the neutrality revision to give him ammunition to fire another shot in the cause of world peace. He said, however, that stories that the conference was bitter were made out of whole cloth. There was only one disagreement during the con ference, he said, and that came when Senator William E. Borah, R, Idaho, veteran isolationist, intimated very clearly that his information from Europe was better than the informa tion received by the United States government.
