Krug Opposes Sale of Public
Power to Private Utilities
Washington, July 15 UP) Secretary of the Interior Krug states
that he is opposed to letting Columbia river valley voters select
the directors who would administer a proposed Columbia Valley
administration.
In reply to a question by Rep. McDonough (R-Calif.), Krug
told the house public works ;
committee: j
"It is of paramount Impor
tance that the president and
congress retain control of n pro
gram requiring such large fed
eral experditures."
Krug said he believes three
directors would be enough and
"the three best qualified men in
the country" should be chosen
without regard to where they
live.
The bill to set up a CVA
-would require two of the direc
tors to be residents of the area.
Under cross examination on
his testimony supporting a CVA.
Krug told the committee:
1. He opposes sale of public
power to private utility com
panies at any federal dam be
cause it could give a private
utility company a monopoly
over power distribution.
2. He does not want the pro
posed CVA to have power of
condemnation of private power
companies.
3. He does not favor retail
Bale of power by the govern
ment. 4. Municipalities and coopera
tives who distribute public pow
er can not build transmission
lines to the government dams
and the government should con
struct the backbone transmis
sion systems.
5. . The Hoover commission
recommendation for a depart
ment of public works to con
solidate the work of the army
engineers and reclamation bur
eau would be an improvement
over the present river basin de
velopment system but should
not be used in the Pacfic north
west in place of a CVA.
6. The CVA should report dir
ectly to the president until such
time as creation of other region
al river agencies makes it an
impossible burden for the presi
dent to handle. Then, he said,
a cabinet officer may have to
be named to handle river auth
orities.
7. He wants to "keep politics
out of the CVA" and " would
n't care if all the directors are
republicans."
Brannan Drops
Wheat Quotas
Washington, July 15 (P) Sec
retary of Agriculture Brannan
said today that plans for invok
ing marketing quotas on the
1950 wheat crop have been
dropped.
But he said acreage allot
ments which are less restric
tive in their effect on production
will be imposed on growers in
a move to get a downward ad
justment in the grain crop from
high war and postwar levels.
The 1950 national arceage al
lotment was set at 68,900,000
acres. This is a reduction of
about 14,000,000 acres, or about
17 per cent, from the record
83,100,000 acres planted to this
year's crop.
Overtime Racket
Kit by Congress
Washington, July 15 UP)
Congress sent to President Tru
man today legislation saying
overtime pay should be based
on regular wages instead of so
called premium pay. The meas
ure kills some 26,000 claims
workers have pending for back
pay.
Capitol Hill action was com
pleted when the house, by a
standing vote of 207 to 52, ac
cepted senate amendments to the
so-called "overtime on over
time" bill.
Some opponents shouted "rob
bery" and "grand larceny."
Estimates of the amount of
back pay claims involved ran as
high as $300,000,000. This fig
ure was given by Rep. McCon
nell (R., Pa.).
The senate amendments made
the bill much broader than the
one originally passed by the
house.
The 15 pennants won by the
New York Yankees since they
won their first on in 1921 make
up a major league record total

Court House 1
Plans Studied
Tentative approval was given
to floor plans of the proposed
new courthouse building at a
three-hour session of the court
house building commission
Thursday afternoon which will
permit Pietro Belluschi, archi
tect to prepare a mass drawing
of the interior when it will
finally be decided whether the
building will proceed on a de
sign with the upper floors cut
in or be switched over to a cube
shaped structure which is favor
ed by some.
The architect pointed out that
the building as now planned
with the cutbacks in the upper
stories is preferable for lighting
and air conditioning and that
additions could be made more
economically to such a building
than to the other type.
Much of the time of the meet
ing was taken discussing various
minor alterations and it is con
sidered now, in a general way,
that the interior plans are about
perfected in case the present de
sign of the building is retained
