GRANGE BULLETIN AND PELTON
The Oregon Grange Bulletin picks up the proposal made by
the Oregonian that central Oregon "tough it out" in the mat
ter of power supply without the aid of any Pelton production
and gives its blessing. By way of showing that after all it is
central Oregon's own fault that it has suffered a power short
age the Bulletin says this : .
The Bonneville Power Administration In 1940 had plans for
building a power line into Central Oregon. These plans got
as far as making a survey ol the line, preparing plans and
j specifications and requesting an appropriation from Con
, gress. The appropriation, however, was defeated because of
the opposition of certain groups in Central Oregon who In
' ' slsted that the area had enough power now and for a long
time in the future without wasting money to tie It into the
Bonneville system.
There are, of course, two sides to every question and parti
sans will take one side or the other depending on their feelings
as to what is right, or just or, indeed, what will serve their
personal-interest. In taking sides, however, and in trying to
influence others it is important to know, and the square thing
to present, the facts of the situation as they exist. When there
is an attempt to mislead then the argument falls and the
nature of the partisan position is disclosed. .
We urge these propositions as we assert that there is no
basis in fact for the statements made in the paragraph from
the Grange Bulletin that we have quoted.
The facts are that in 1940 Bonneville had no plans for build
ing into central Oregon. No survey had been made,' no plans
and specifications had been prepared, no appropriation re
quested. No opposition to an appropriation was expressed be
cause none had been proposed.
The Central Oregon PUD had been formed in November,
1940. In March, 1941 one of its directors, discussing the dis
trict's own plans for power production, wrote :
Bonneville comes into the picture at this point. The Bon
v neville administration wants to know, for its own informa-
tion, the answers to all of the questions concerning central
, Oregon. It wants to know about the local power resources,
and about the value of the power company property, and
.obout the possibilities in general for public power In Central
' Oregon. Bonneville has to know these things before it can
" ' build a line, or even decide what kind of a line to build into
this territory.
That, certainly, does not show anything like a 1940 Bonne
ville plan such as the Grange Bulletin asserts existed nor does
the fact that in June, 1941, the PUD made a filing on the
Pelton site.
: Such study of the central Oregon situation as Bonneville
made was begun in July, 1941 and within a short time Dr.
Raver wrote the PUD, "Pending completion of a final report
embodying staff recommendations I am deferring final de
cision on construction of facilities to serve your district ."
The PUD then expected a further and final report but in
August Kaver said that the earlier letter was his final word
Thereafter Raver said that the cost of at line to central
Oregon was too great for the amount of business to be had up
Here, it was not until the f acitic ower & bight Co. built its
own line that central Oregon was tied into the Bonneville sys
tem but it was not Dr. Kaver who initiated that enterprise.
Incidentally, it is to be remembered that back in those days
when Brooks-Scanlon sought public utility commissioner per
mission to build a steam plant and sell its surplus to P. P. & L.
public power advocates close to Bonneville protested the grant
of authority. Then, as now, they dpposed private enterprise
development and we think that that fact is to be remembered
When arguments against the Pelton project are made.
Also, we think, that argument should be based on facts and
not misrepresentation.
Salem Approves
Daylight Saving
Salem, May 10 IP Salem will
be put cfti daylight saving time at
2:01 Monday, May 16. The Salem
city council voted Monday night
to put the cherry city on fast
time until Sept. 11 the date
when Portland, now on daylight
time, also will revert to standard
time.
A packed council chamber was
present to participate in the de
bate about the fast time and also
the so-called Baldock plun to
bring Salem's traffic situation
more up to date.
Most of those who talked on
the, daylight time measure were
opposed to it. They were farmers
from outlying areas or business
men from nearby communities,
particularly Mt. Angel.
Favoring the daylight time
were those who pointed out that
the time differential now be
tween Portland and the capital
city was quite confusing. After
the arguments were all in, the
council voted 6 to 2 In favor of
the fast time.

WASHINGTON COLUMN
By Peter Etlunn
(NEA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) The possi
bility of tacking some American
"reservations" onto U. S. senate
ratification of the North Atlantic
pact has been raised by Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft of Ohio. Taft's Idea,
first given utterance In a televi
sion "Meet the Press" interview,
is reminiscent of post-world war 1
days, when senate COP irreconcil-
ables forced their reservations on
U. S. adherence to the League of
Nations and the Versailles treaty
of peace. These reservations may
ultimately have killed both.
Senator Taft is for the Atlantic
pact on general principles. But he
believes such points as the sole
right of congress to declare war
for the United States should be
spelled out more clearly. Senator
I alt also indicates he .Is opposed
to rearmfng Europe, believing
that will force Russia to go to
war, Instead of bringing peace.
Taft believes the senate foreign
relations committee may take
three or four weeks for public
hearings on the pact. Senate floor
debate may take two or three
weeks more. That means no rati
fication with or without reserva
tions before June.

National defense seer e t a r v
Louis Johnson also has a claque
promoting his name for demo
cratic presidential candidate in
lmz. One of Johnsons great
drawbacks is lack of hair. The
United States has had only one
bald president John Quincy
Adams unless you rate the early
presidents like Washington and
Jefferson, who wore wigs, as bald
pates. W
Defense secretary Johnson has
clamped a gag on any more pub
licity about the navy's fifth-of-a-
mile-long aircraft carrier. Pic

Navy public relations men have

idea seems to be that the air

by keeping news about the super
carrier out of print.

over the heavy schedule of night
sessions held just before the
Easter recess. "I got to see my

Mrs. Claude Pepper somewhat
philosophically. "It used to be

sources committee of the Pacific

Welsh was one of a series of
speakers who voiced opposition
to establishment of a CVA at a
meeting of the resources commit
tee. "It is most regrettable," Welsh
said, "that at this most Important
and critical time, when we are con
fronted with the greatest oppor
tunity for development which
we have yet seen in the Pacific
northwest, those who are inter
ested in such development should
be forced to devote a major por
tion of their time to opposing
such unnecessary and uridemocra
tci proposals as CVA.
"CVA if created today, would
only retard the development in
which we are so vitally inter
ested." Plans Coordinated
Welsh said that in the last few
weeks the plans of the bureau
of reclamation and corps of en
gineers have been fully coordin
ated. "This progress we consider
most commendable and truly in

these two great agencies are co
operating for the development of
the resources of this region.
Les Colby of the Missoula Mer

said, "We in Montana are op
posed to an authority which would
take away our authority."
An analysis of the CVA bill now
before congress was presented by
J. K. Cheadle, former chief coun
sel of the bureau of reclamation.
He said the bill would "wipe off
the books wnat we have already
in influence over plans of existing
agencies."

High School Girl
Suspect Quizzed
Roanoke, Va May 10 tPl
Police today questioned a ma.n
they declined to name' in con
neclion with the merciless slay
ing of lovely blonde Dana Marie1
Weaver, 16-year-old high school
junior. -
Officers would say only that
the man was arrested : several
weeks ago on charges of accost
ing women in the vicinity of
Christ Episcopal church parish
house, where the young girl,was
beaten and strangled lo death
Sunday. The man was free on
bond pending trial, police said.
Detective Capt. Frank H. Webb
described the questioning as
"routine." But he said he was
working on a "different possibil
ity" that the blonde Jefferson
high school girl was attacked "by
a would-be rapist who saw her
enter the parish house alone."
Coroner Charles M. Irvin said
he had determined that the girl
had not been raped.
Webb said police also are work
ing on a possibility that jeal
ousy may have been the motive
for the slaying that followed an
almost maniacal battle.
The detective captain said as
far as he has been able to learn,
the popular young beauty had
no steady boy friend. But he said
some high school youth may
have quarreled with her in the
parish house kitchen after she
returned from a date with Vir
ginia Tech students Sunday aft
ernoon. Police Supt. S. A. Bruce said
