GRANGE BULLETIN AND CVA
Let us begin what we have to say today by quoting the first
iew paragrapns 01 an editorial titled "Hoods and a CVA"
that appeared recently m the Oregon Grange Bulletin. 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

in the Wallace road area four
miles north of West Salem, a resi
dent of the area said today.
Joseph Singer, owner of Sing

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.

An article in the Daily Worker,
New York's communist newspa
per, has come up with an explan
ation of the Berlin "crisis" -which
its author carefully keeps
in quotation marks throughout.
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

and Important satellite.
Surely the soviet government
knows that. 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.

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.
