We quote The Grange has asserted that this year's devastating flood re emphasizes the need for a centralized regional authority to direct a unified program for harnessing the water resources of the Pacific Northwest. The Portland Oregonlan was quick to scoff at this statement, suggesting that the Grange was using the flood as "an emotional peg" upon which to hang its assertion. The Bend Bulletin, as was to be expected, also climbed on the Oregonian's editorial bandwagon with a disconnected harangue on the subject. Of a certainty, the flood was a "peg1' upon which to hang an argument for a CVA. As to it being "emotional" as opposed to , "logical," we will leave that to be answered by those who had their farms and homes destroyed and damaged by waters which could have been held in check by dams at Hell's Canyon, Hungry Horse, Glacier View, Paradise and Albenl Falls dams' which : are not now built because we do not have' a CVA. And we do not have a CVA because of the opposition of the private power com panies and publications like the Oregonlan and the Bend Bulle tin which serve as their stooges. . But in one breath the Oregonlan opposes this type of river development and in the next admits that Hell's Canyon alone would have reduced the river crest by more than a foot. Hell's Canyon would have a useful storage space of 3,280,000 acre feet. Hungry Horse, Glacier View, Paradise and Albenl Falls dams would add 11,260,000 acre feet to that amount. That is, they ; would if they are ever built. These paragraphs and those that follow in the Grange Bulletin provide a typical example of that paper's method of argument and discussion. Long experience has taught us that the Grange Bulletin will not engage in clean debate. It pre . fers to call names and to draw conclusions from something other than facts. Nevertheless it seems to us desirable not to let this editorial go without comment and so we proceed. To call publications like the Oregonian and the Bulletin stooges of the private power companies proves nothing so far as flood control is concerned. As a matter of fact we doubt . if the Grange editor knows the meaning of the word but that ( point aside he might call such publications a dozen names and still make no contribution to the flood control Droblem. AH that his name calling does is to suggest that this sort of thing rather than clean discussion is what he believes will have the greatest weight with his audience that is, his sub scribers. We have a higher regard for the farmers of Oregon who belong to the grange. So let's pay no more attention to tnis language. Weiwve been in fairly clqse touch with the pros and cons of the CVA argument ever since Senator Mitchell introduced his bill, S.460, back in February, 1945. At no time has any particular point been made of flood control as an important feature of a CVA. Always the emphasis has been on power development. Even when floods recurred on the Willamette nobody urged a CVA remedy. The recent Columbia flood ini tiated a renewal of the CVA talk. The Grange Bulletin makes no choice as to whether the pro-CVA argument is emotional or logical but, of a certainty, it goes in for the rhetorical. And the reader will observe that in raising its voice for the down stream victims of the flood it indicates its willingness to destroy permanently and beyond all possibility of restoration the farms and homes of those living in the valleys up-stream from the Glacier View, Para dise and Albeni dam sites. Jhose dams, the Grange Bulletin snya, are not now built because we do not have a CVA and that seems to us to be stretching things a bit. Hungry Horse, which the grange publication puts in the same category, is actually under con struction. Why does not the Grange Bulletin give its readers the truth about Hungry Horse? The Grange Bulletin quotes what it calls "a most amazing statement" made in this column and says that we should brush up on our ABC's (sic) of river development. "How anyone can truthfully say that flood control and power generation are incompatible", says the Bulletin, "is beyond comprehen ion". Well, oddly enough, we are not the only one to hold this view and so that the Grange Bulletin may compare we re print our paragraphs that it quoted and alongside them sen tences from a letter to the O.regonian from Kenneth A. Keid, executive director of the Isaac Walton League of America. We said : The fact Is, of course, that flood control and power devel opment conflict in reservoir use. If a dam is to serve flood control purposes the reservoir space back of it must be kept empty against the time the wa ters to bo controlled come down to fill la For power a reservoir must be kept full or should be, if possible to maintain the head back of the generators. Mr. Reid says : For power, the dam should be as nearly full of water as nearly all the time as possible, so as to have both the head and volume for power generation. For flood control, the reservoir . should be as nearly empty as nearly all the time as possible, so as to have the holding capa city for flood waters when they come. Obviously, the two purposes are incompatible In I ho same dam. On the basis of the Grange Bulletin's thinking we suppose that that statement by Mr. Keid makes him untruthful and a stooge. More than once in our discussions with the Grange Bulletin we have asked questions that, be believed, if answered would help to clarify things. We have never hail an answer but we Bhull try again. Does not the Grange Bulletin know, we ask, that the Hungry Horse dam is now under construction? Does the firm opposition to a CVA of 'the Idaho state grange make it a' private power company stooge? Is the Grange Bulletin informed regarding the western Montana sentiment on the subject of dams at the Glacier View, Paradise and Albeni sites? Cougar Seen Near Sleeping Children Snlom, July 21 mi A full grown cougar was seen prowling in the Wallace road area four miles north of West Salem, a resi dent of the area said today. Joseph Singer, owner of Sing er's rose gardens, said he was awakened about midnight Mon day by loud cries. He rushed to his back yard where his nine-year-old son, Keith, and 17-year-old daughter, - Josephine, were sleeping In a tent. Singer said he saw the cougar about 100 yards from the tent. The big cat escaped before Singer could get a gun. Use classified ads In The Bull tin for quick results.

The crisis, says the article, is the result of the United States' ef forts to implement the Marshall plan. This Is an interesting state ment, particularly since the arti cle makes no effort to perpetuate the fiction that the blockade of Berlin is due to railroad repairs, broken canal locks, and so on. Nor does It try to give the lm Dression that the blockade is something decided on by the local soviet military authorities in Berlin. Tho Uni-bat lltra ovorv nthnr .in. j communist publication and indi vidual, gets its cue on Important policy from the propaganda feed box in Moscow. So It seems highly unlikely that one of its writers would undertake to ex plain without authority a situa tion which Moscow had kept si lent about for so long. Unless the communist press has sudden ly gone in for unauthorized think pieces, we may assume that the Worker's explanation was the first frank one to come out of Moscow. a a a The article, not surprisingly, is little careless in matters of fact. For instance, it Implies that the proposed government for western Germany is a part of the Marshall plan, which of course It is not. The writer also makes the illuminating disclosure that the western powers instituted the blockade of waterways into Ber lin. This statement appeared on the same day that a news 'story carried a Russian "explanation" that they were not permitting barges to enter Berlin because of repair work on a lock. Errors aside, however, if this is a soviet-sanctioned explanation of the Berlin blockade, then the maneuver Is even more clumsy than it appears to be. If it was decided on as a reprisal for the European aid program, then It is a childish and spiteful gesture un worthy of any government If it is being used to force the Unit ed States, Britain and France to abandon their plans for a western German government, the tactics are clearly wrong and doomed to miiure. The throe powers' notes to the soviet government made it clear that the blockade would have to end before any discussion of its underlying causes was commenc ed. Surely the Kremlin could not have thought that these powers would agree to reopen German peace talks on the Russian terms as the price of free access to Berlin. a a If the Russian leaders really de sire peace, it should be clear to them that an indispensable In surance of peace is a self-governed Germany with a measure of Independence, bur a Germany supervised long and carefully by the victorious powers. The west ern governments do desire peace, therefore they will not submit to Russia's plan for a "unified" Germany which would make that country Russia's most powerful THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND.

And surely it must also know that It cannot gain its point by a flagrant breach of agreement that subjects the west ern governments to expense and inconvenience In Berlin. Nor can the soviet government seriously hope to win German friends to the idea of a soviet-dominated Germany by trying to starve the population oi Benin. Others Say . . . NOT SO GOOD (Medford Mall-Tribune) We did not think much of one Item In President Truman's speech, though it made the bin- gest hit of all in the convention, namely: Calling the congress Into ses sion this month and putting the repuoucans on ine spot. This may be smart Dollticallv. But it is too clearly using the powers of the presidential office lor partisan purposes only. a a a The congress has lust adlourn ed after a long and exhausting session. Washington in mid-sum' mer Is an Impossible place to live, much less do important work. There is no. unexpected or vital issue which has arisen to call for such a congressional reassem bling so soon after adjournment. It is exceedingly doubtful. In fact, that anything of genuine inv portance can be accomplished in such a short torrid period and in the midst of a presidential cam paign. It may be to-show that certain promises and pledges in tne republican piatiorm can t be carried out. No sensible person would expect them to be, in such a brief period. In short. President Truman may make some votes out of this maneuver, and perhaps embar rass the republican leaders for a time. But he will not gain where he needs to gain most, that is among he independent voters, nor will he, regardless of party, increase throughout the country the popu lar respect for his standards of statesmanship, or administration as to the quality of his political method.
