Report Praised, Condemned ' at Portland Airing PORTLAND (UP) A Congres-1 sional subcommittee on water and power resources continued to take testimony on the Hoover Commis sion report here today after hear ing it both praised and criticized by 15 witnesses yesterday. aen. wayne morse lu-urej whh the principal objector. Morse con-1 demned the report as biased and loaded in favor of private power. He said an analysis of the report indicated the commission was for getting the government out of the power business which he said would be damaging to the region. C. B. Stephenson, president of the First National Bank and chair man of the Oregon citizens com mittee for the Hoover report, said he favored any program which would reduce unnecessary cos's. He said he favored a national water resources board to which Morse said he was opposed. John Day Favored The Hoover report recommended creation of a national water re sources board and that the govern ment build power projects whkh were beyond capabilities or will ingness of local areas. It also rec ommended against overlapping jurisdiction of several agencies in the field of water resource. Former State Sen. Ernnst R Fatland. Condon, said privately operated Columbia river power plants might serve as "yardsticks for efficiency of government In stallations. Fatland favored part nership construction of John Day dam on the Columbia river and said partnership dam building was one way to reduce government spending. Seven -Hour Defense Practice Alert Staged in N. America Dulles Hurls Angry Charge At Russians WASHINGTON (UP) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles charged today that Russia ha-s been trying to get India to use force in its dispute with Portugal over the territory of Goa. Dulles made the charge at a news conference at which he de fended a joint U. S. - Portugese statement on Goa which has in furiated India. Dulles said he gave very careful consideration to the statement is sued last Friday, and that he felt it was appropriate to express feel ings on Soviet statements aimed at fomenting trouble in the Goa area. The controversial statement. which Dulles issued jointly with visiting Portuguese foreign Min ister Paulo Cuhna, referred to Goa as a "Portugese province." i The phrase Infuriated the Indians i because they have insisted that Goa is not a province but an un- willing Portuguese colony which should be turned over to India. Dulles also told newsmen: 1. Communist China has been steadily building up airfields in the Formosa Strait area. But U.S. in telligence so far has riot indicated thai the Red Chinese are making preparations to attack Nationalist Chinese holdings in the J area, 2. The United States hopes both Israel and her Arab neighbors will see the benefits to all concerned In a solution to their dispute. So far no concrete step toward a solu tion Is in sight, but the possibilities for agreement exist. 3. It Is always possible that Communist East Germany will cut barge traffic to Berlin, but the United States has no reason to think this will happen now. He said the United States will hold Russia responsible for interruptions in ca nal traffic under the 1954 agree ment assuring the West of commu nications with Berlin. Report Prepared For Commission A comprehensive ordinance pr viding for the licensing of all bust nesscs in Bend is being typed to day after months of study and preparation for presentation to the city commission at Its first Decem ber meeting tomorrow night. The blanket business licensing ordinance Is the first prepared for the consideration ot tile commis sioners In the history of the ci'y, said Walter T. Thompson, city manager. If adopted, the new measure would repeal 28 existing dlnances, each dealing with a sep arate business. It would also in clude a large number of busi nesses not Bavin a license at present. The added licenses would brin in enough additional revenue, it was hoped, to enable the city to get along on its present tax stnic ture. The new ordinance was drafted by City Attorney Harry A. English after conferences with Thompson and Mrs. Julia S. Johnson, city treasurer and recorder.
