POWER POLICIES
. There is not now and there never was a federal power
policy fully spelled out by act. of Congress. Over the years,
beginning with the Reclamation act of 1906, there has been
'. legislation containing one provision or another relating to
power, -its development as a by-product of the exercise of
powers found in the commerce clause of the constitution, its
pricing and its marketing. Out of these Secretary Ickes, in
1946, put together a "Memorandum on Power Policy" in
which, as he put it, there were recapitulated "the guiding
principles Which emerge from the individual acts or (Jon
gress, and which must govern the administrative actions of
this Department (Interior) in discharging its responsibilit
ies relating to electrical power.".
Harold Ickes was a strong-willed and ruthless operator
ready at any time to strike out and stretch to proirfie an
end he wished to attain and nowhere was he more ruthless
than in the field of electrjc power nor was there any end he
. sought .more relentlessly than the development of public
power and the destruction of private power. Accordingly it
is not surprising to tind in that power policy memorandum
: not only an overly-liberal construction of acts of Congress
but his own conceived principles expressed in directions to his
, staff for the promotion of public power. Illustrative of the
Ickes prejudice is the following from his statement of prin-
.' Cipies: . ; , -,y-4::
r . Active assistance, from the very beginning of the planning
and authorization of a project, shall be given to the organization ,
of publio agencies and cooperatives for the distribution of power
in each project area. The statutory objectives are not attained ,'
by merely waiting for a preferred customer to come forward
and offer to purchase the power. : .. . - ' ;
. The-preceding paragraphs may seem an unnecessarily
long preface to the few things we want to say now about the
statement of power policy made this week at the Interior
department by Under Secretary Tudor but what they tell
seems to us important as a part of ihe background of the
new policy that now succeeds that formulated by Secretary
Ickes.
' The Ickes policy, as we point out, was developed wholly
: on behalf of public power. It was Ickes's- alone, no other ad-
ministration authority of his day having any part in it. The
new policy proposes "a partnership of the States andloca!
communities and local communities, private citizens and the
Federal Government, all working together" and, says the
statement, "It is not a policy of monopoly by any one of these
parties. Moreover, it is not a sole McKay or J. udor policy.
It is an administration, policy.
As sides are being taken on this new policy there de
velops more clearly and more definitely than ever before the
fact that, like Ickes, tbtlay's public power advocates want
nubile nower and only public power. They find the new
policy wholly bad even though it contemplates a degree of
public development. They want all. iney cannot accept any
part of private enterprise, in the field of power.
Franklin Roosevelt campaigned for the presidency in 1932
. with the statement that public power should be "the birch
rod in the closet" with which to punish private power for any
misdeeds. As president he proposed the TVA, among other
things, as providing a "yardstick" for .the measurement of
power production costs. As ho moved away from his prin
ciples in other areas he discarded those he once held in the
power field and government went more and more into that
field. Today's antagonisms and departures from the" private
: enterprise that spurred America's progress and prosperity
are the result. ,
The new administration power policy recognizes the part
the Federal authority must piny where there is need. At the
same time it recognizes the part that private enterprise
should play be given the opportunity to play where it can.

,1 WASHINGTON (iNEA) As ine
United Nations' General Assembly
reconvenes in New York for its
special session on the Korean arm
istice and peace conference, H Is
revealed that as of Aug. 1, only
15 of the 60 member nations have
paid their 1953 dues in full; to the
world organization. The United
States, which
pays 35 per cent
of the UN bud
get of $48 mil
lion, is one of
the 15 that has
paid up.
Tin i iargesf
amount owed
was that of So
viet Russia
EUSON nearly J3 million
In arrears. The smallest amount
owed is Emma's $8000. The second
largest balance due Is Nationalist
China's $2.4 million for this year.
China is also behind on its assess
ments for 1951 and 1952. Ten other
countries owe for last year, and
four are still behind on their 1951
payments. -,

Red Terror
Dr. You Chan Yang, Korean
ambassador to the United States,
makes a general disclaimer that
atrocities committed , against
American and other United Na
tions prisoners of war were the
work of North Koreans.
'I should like to point out that
these savages are not Koreans
except In physical appearance,"
says the peppery ambassador.
They are second generation de
scendants of Koreans who fled into
Siberia at the time of the Japanese
occupation, and they have been in
doctrinated with communism since
birth." i
Dr. Yang also declares that the
original North Korean army was
destroyed by . General Douglas
MacArthur's forces, and the
civilian population of North Ko
rea has been subjected since 1945
to the usual taotics of the "terror
treatment courses" : given such
people by the Soviet system.
Korean Rebuilding '
The U. S. Army' is going to use
American troops to help rebuild
battered South Korea, but It won't
be manual labor by ground troops
ana it win he combined with vigor
ous technical, training for idle
troops.
Communications outfits, for
instance, Instead of stringing wires
and then tearing, them down as m
normal training maneuver, will
actually work at-rebuilding South
Korea s teiepnone system.
The same plan will also be ap
plied to Army's Corns ot Engineers
They will start rebuilding some of
souin Korea s Battered roads,
bridges, and railroads, just as
Ihough they were iri training;
Port companies will also work
on 'restoring the badly damaged
South Korean harbor and dock
facilities. ,'
But the plan Is to have South
Koreans do all of the -actual la
bor,: with V. S. troops providing
technical supervision and knowhow.
One problem which hasn't been
settled yet Is how to pay for ti:e
permanent equipment given to
South Korea. The Army .can't
use up its own equipment which
might be sorely needed later if
combat is resumed. ' The Army
also wants to show some budget
savings as a result of the end of
hostilities. ; '
The presont plan Is to take
equipment costs out of the S200
million Congress allowed the
President to transfer from military

NEWS
. By GENE LEAK
Not long after last week s col
umn was published I had a tele
phone-call. I was glad to get it,
too. Charles Trachsel, a rancher
in the Cloverdale community,
called to talk to me about Abruz
zl rye. Trachsel knows he has
Abruzzl rye because it was certi
fied seed, carrying an official tag
and seal, when he bought it. He
says he has been comparing his
Abruzzi rye fields with rye fields
of other growers who have spring
planted other varieties of rye.. Hie
Abruzzl Is much better than the
others either from the standpoint
ot hay or seed production.- .
This information checks with
our observations and the experi
ences of several other growers
in years past.
New Winter Variety
There Is a new winter rye va
riety named White Soviet which
has been outstanding in small
trial plantings in the state of
Washington. The Trachsels will
have enough of this seed to plant
about 20 acres this fall, so seed
of the variety will be available
in' another year if it proves to be
an improved variety tor this area.
We will be establishing variety
trials for both wipter and spring
varieties this coming season. The
trials will Include Abruzzi and
White Soviet!
' A few days ago Gene Brink,
who farms near Deschutes, found
several of his turfSTys had been
killed during the night. Gene call
ed Sam Shaver,, Bend, predator
animal control man for this coun
ty for some help. Sam came out
ana . examinea me aeaa turseys,
then made a search of the place
for signs o the marauder. He
soon located "cat" tracks and
told Gene he could expect another
call from the cat by 10 p. m. the
same evening.
About dark Gene went out to
the turkey pen to check really
not expecting to find anything
but the cat was already at work.
He fled over a lenee When he saw
Gene. Gene hadn't brought his
gun with, him so he didn't get a
Chance to shoot the varment. He
returned to the house and got his
gun and then went back to the
turkey pen to wait. His efforts
were soon rewarded. He now re
ports one less, large bobcat at
large in his neighborhood.
Shaver Available
Sam Shaver is available to any
one in this county who may be
having predator troubles. He has
been trapping and poisoning coy
tes, bobcats, and sometimes other
predators for livestock and poul
try raisers for many years. He is
paid by the county and the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. Sam
has also done a lut of rabbit con
trol work and for two years has
assisted with the county gopher
control program.
If you need Sam's help, write
him a card at 1375 Kingston, Bend,
call him at 1348-W (evenings are
best tim to catch him) or leave
word at the county agent's office
and we will get In touch with
him. (Sam Is a very dependable
and capable fellow except during
deer hunting season. Then he is
like some of the rest of us he
hopes to get his buck the first
day, but when he fails, It may be
that he and Mrs. Shaver will be
gone for several days.)

Nolhinjr, we think, could bettor illustrate the instability
of affairs in the mid-section of Asia and in the Mediterranean
countries of Africa than the story of Iran over the past few
years. Kor the matter of that, the -story over the past few
weeks would be as revealing or even that covering the past
few, days. As this is written the ehminc is a pleasing one from
the American viewpoint but we are not so optimistic as to
expect that change will not have been succeeded by counter
chantie before the ink of these pitragraphs is fairly dry. Wo
can only hope.
It was Sunday, for instaiHe, when the then Premier.
Mohammed Mossadegh's tenure was threatened by mob
violence inspired by sentiment favoring return of the shah
to power. Mossadegh was ill but his troopers prevailed and
the shah fled to Europe. Two days later, with apparent justi
fication, the Oregonian eomni!iited: , -
W can "picture MossadoKh releasing veritable floods of
lenrs as he contemplates his highly salislaeloiy new situation.
He has now gotten riil of ilie shah and most of his followers, and
dissolved what was left ot Ihe Iranian parliament. All he has
to do Is lo keep on shaking his fist al Ihe Hi itisli, thus diverting
the attention of the Iranian man In the street from Ihe sad
financial condition of the country sinee the seizure of Ihe Anglo
li anian oil properties cut off royalty payments, and presumably
everything will be dandy.
The very day that this seemingly safe analysis was being
given, however, supposedly frustrated General Zahedi, the
shah's choice for premier, delivered a coup that was a coup.
True, it was by remote control, for the general was in hiding,
but it resulted in the seizure of Mossadegh. The shah and
his general, if , nothing untoward has happened meanwhile,
are taking over.
As these things transpire it is interesting to reflect that
it is less than two years and one-half since Mossadegh rose
to power on the issue of nationalization of oil, which he ac
complished by more or less calmly, dispossessing British
investors. There was, from al! the evidence, no thought of
payment. This, and the plunging of his country into bank
ruptcy have been his outstanding achievement? He was the
third when he rose to the position of premier on April 20,
1951, to hold that office in two months. An assassin
removed one of his predecessors.
Since taking over there have been repeated attempts to
reduce his strength. -Mossadegh had a simple but effective
strategy for disposing of such attempts. He would threaten'
to quit and, for reasons unfathomable to the western mind,
nr. ,i-f,,l ;i: i ..,,:. i , u; 1
esuv.ii ii mii ijwooiumv nui,.iii:u nuiiiiicill lu I'Mllgu Ills
enemies to be good.
But then, for some equally unfathomable muse, the'
strategy iailed and Mossadegh turnud to force, first success
fully, then suffering reversals. It is not impossible that the
"strong n:an pi, irun is really out tins lime.
Board Charges
False Economy
SALEM, Aug. 21 IIB The Oregon
State Board of Aeronautics criticiz
ed the Civil Aeronautics Admini
trntion yesterday for what one
member termed "false economy"
moves in closing Oregon activities.
Dr. W. M. Pcare, a board mem
ber from LnGrnndc, said at the
regular weekly meeting of the
board that Oregon has "borne the
brunt of, false economy moves by
the CAA."
He referred to closure of the air
port traffic control tower at Salem
and the planned closure October
31 of the communications station
lit La Grande. "This was done in
the guise of economy," Dr. Peare
said, "but the fact is that the per
sonnel and safety sections of the
CAA budget were cut less than one
per cent,"
He said congressional committee
men had directed that the reduction
be 'made in the higher echelons
not In the field.
The Board called for a "thor
ough Investigation" of the CAA by
proper authorities of Congress and
by aviation officials "to the end
of maintaining all safety measures
