Power and Light's forthcoming
liquidation.
Taxes Involved ,
"My present view is that Ameri
can would never attempt to dis
pose of the stock of Pacific at
competitive bidding," Aller said.
Furthermore, Aller emphasized,
the American Power & Light com
pany could effect a sizable tax
savings if the sale of Pacific Pow
er is consumated prior to the ef
fective date of American s disso
lution, Feb. 15, 1950.
Aller told the trial examiner
that although it was common
knowledge in New York that Pa
cific Power was to be sold, it was
not until negotiations had been
carried on with Van Ingen & Com
pany almost to a conclusion that
another bid was submitted. 1
Aller said that he had told inter
ested parties American was not
Interested in anything "less than
$15,000,000 cash on the barrelhead."
He repeatedly asserted his, be
lief that the situation with regard
to Pacific Power did not "lend it
self to competitive bidding.
Furthermore, Aller said, he was
convinced competitive bidding
would not have brought any bet
ter price.
Aller pointed out that since the

holders of American Power was
Feb. 15, 1950, in order to effect a
tax savings the sale of Pacific
must be concluded prior to that
time. Even under the most favor
able conditions, he added, through
competitive bidding the sale could
not be completed before March !.
"We believe there would be vig
orous opposition to any long postponement"-
in distribution, Aller
said. l.. - v;-.
Resale Involved
Because the Van Ingen group is
believed planning resale of Pacific
Power to public power interests,
they have drawn opposition from
Paul B. McKee, Pacific president,
as well as from public officials in
both Oregon and the ' state of
Washington.
Public power districts have lost
favor in the Pacific northwest
since proposal of a Columbia (riv
er) valley administration. Any
such CVA, opponents believe,
would not be In the best interests
of the area, already served, ac
cording to the Pacific Northwest
Development association, ay Hb
major hydro-electricprojects" and
so many power plants that resi
dents already have available
"twice as much power generating
capacity ... as does the average
American." , .
McKee favors a second banking
group, headed by Allen & Co., of
New York, which has made an
offer for the company contingent
upon rejection by the SEC of the
original Vanjngen bid.
, Bona Fide Offer
Making its bid of $15,000,000
cash, the Allen group stated that
the offer was made "with the
bona fide intention of effecting
distribution of any stock which
mav be purchased pursuant to the
offer" but no prospective buyer
was named.
Van Ingen and associates offer
ed $10,000,000 cash with provision
for extra payments that can bring
the oric to sia.&uo.uuu.
The opposing groups bid for the
500,000 shares of common stock
outstanding and held solely by
American Power & kignt Co., in
turn a subsidiary of Electric Bond
& Share Corp.
Today's hearing by the commis
sion was on Van Ingen's applica
tion for exemption as purchaser
of Pacific Power "from all provi
sions of the (Public Utility Hold
ing company) act."
Sole concern of the commission
"is to see that a fair and reason
able consideration Is offered, that
the fees and commissions are fair
and reasonable and that competi
tive conditions are maintained," a
spokesman said.
uuy Meyers involved
Other than that, the commis
sion is in no way involved in any
question of public versus private
operation of utility, services.
Van Ingen and associates in
clude Guy C. Meyers, a specialist
in marketing of utility properties
who, In behalf of American Power
& Light in 1944 had a part in ar
ranging the sale of Nebraska
Power Co., umana to public own
ership.
It was considered likely, in the
event the Van Ingen group ac
quired Pacifio Power, that an at
tempt might be made to incorpo
rate the property into the pro
posed CVA, should it ever ma
terialize.
Creation of CVA has the ap.
proval of the administration, ex
pressed most recently by Presi
dent Truman in his economic mes.
sage two weeks ago, when he said
I have already recommended,
and I again urge, that the con
gress authorize the consolidation
of a number of federal activities
in the Pacific northwest into a Co
lumbia river valley administra
tion." Opposition Noted
Opposition to the sale of Pacific
Power to the Van Ingen group
has come from Gov. Arthur Lang
lie of Washington; George Flagg
of the Oregon public utilities com
mission, and Mayor Dorothy Mc
Cullough Lee of Portland. -
McKee, commenting on the Van
Ingen bid, said the presence of
Meyers in the group made it evi
dent that the intention was to re
sell to public power interests.
By agreement among the pur
chasing group, the application to
SEC said, "Meyers will be employ
ed by the purchasing group for
the purpose ol etlectuating the
sale of Pacific's properties and
stock" for a commission of "10
per cent of the amounts, if any,
realized . . . in excess ol $iu,uuu,-
000, excluding $300,000 in regular
annual dividends on Pacific s com
mon stocK, until American re
ceives from the purchasing group
the maximum amount payable un
der the purchasing agreement . . ."
Incorporated in June, 1910, un
der Maine law, Pacific Power has
its headquarters at Portland, Ore.,
serves 101 northwest communities
and has assets of $76,367,101,
grown from $48,958,544 at the end
of 1942. .

Tumalo Grange
Supports Plan
fcentral Oregonlans spend $70,
000 annually for ice cream that
is not made in central Oregon,
Glen Lay, representing the associ
ation of central Oregon dairy
products manufacturers, told
members of the Tumalo grange
at their meeting Friday evening.
It is an economic fact that a sin
gle dollar spent locally changes
hands 12 times before it leaves
the community in which it was
first spent, he said.
There are sutticient dairy prod
ucts produced by local farmers
to supply central Oregon consum
ers without the necessity of buy
ing outside products, he stated,
declaring that ice cream made by
the five central Oregon cream
eries compares favorably in taste,
quality and price with any brand
shipped in.
The Tumalo grange went on
record as supporting the pur
chase of local Ice cream, with all
members pledged to encourage
other residents of the area to ask
for local ice cream when they

Electricity Cuts
Woman's Work
By Elizabeth Totsmy
(United Pre Staff CorrcepomUmt)
New York Ui Somebody will
have to think upa new name
for housework in the next 50
years. If all the predictions of
electrical engineers come . true,
the house will still be there but
the work will be gone.
There will be no worry over the
vegetables boiling dry or the eggs
cooking too long. In a forecast
qf the coming half century, one
expert predicts electric ranges
with temperature controls on the
surface units. The heat on the top
of the stove will be keyed to the
food it's cooking. If the water
bolls away, the temperature au
tomatically drops to a point
where the vegetables won't burn.
.these previews of electrical
marvels come from officials of
the Westinghouse Electric Cor
poration. Electronics, they pre
dict, will influence the lives of
nearly everyone on earth. A
tough steak even will be impos
sible. It will be electronically
tenderized before it is sold.
Shopping to Be Simpler
One of these days we may have
a combination washing machine
and dryer that will soak, wash
rinse and dry clothes all In a
single cycle. You even may be
dumping the soiled Eocks in a
supersonic washer.
Housewives may shop for fresh
and pre-cooked foods only a few
times a year. They 11 be stored in
refrigerators and freezers, which
will have specinl compartments
for all kinds of food, so each can
have its specinl temperature and
humidity condition.
the electrical Industry s fore
casters predict that homes of the
future may be lighted by bottled
sunlight." It will come from
phosphor powders mixed into
building material or Into paint or
wallpaper. At night, these phos
phors would emit the light energy
they absorbed during the day.
Houses may have automatic in-
dqor climate control. The engi
neers sny that the home of the
future may have its own built-in
transformer to provide power for
that and for .other household ap
pliances, i Nothing to, Take Apart
It looks as though tomorrow's
husband Is going to be stuck
when ho gets the urge to take
something apart. The electric mo
tors for home equipment and ap
pliances will be burnt-out proof.
All the electrical gadgets will be
foolproof.
The only thing that has the
visionaries puzzled is, .ft simple
substitute for ironing. Electrical
Ironers have helped, but they
want something that irons a shirt
automatically. I hey re dream
ing of something like a sensitive,
self-adjusting form over which a
shirt could be drawn and steam
ed at the same time.
Just to convince the skeptics
that these things may not be too
far in the future, the same com
pany that's doing the forecasting
has announced three new appli
ances ready for (he 1950 market.
