Polk Says CVA Advocates
Resorting to Falsehoods
Proponents of a Columbia Valley authority are resorting to
misrepresentation and fraudulant propaganda in an effort to gain
congresisonal approval of the scheme, according to Harry E.
Polk, president of the National Reclamation association.
Polk, a newspaper puDlisner in wiuiston, in. u., spoke Deiore
group of Salem Dusinessmen
and officials at the Chamber of
Commerce Wednesday.
'The most fundamental ob
jection to the CVA proposal is
that it is a means by which the
proponents hope to socialize this
country," he sale:.
As evidence of the fraudulant
methods utilized by CVA advo
cates Polk told of how C. Gir
ard Davidson, assistant secretary
of the interior and principal
author of the CVA bill now in
congress, told a congressional
committee that the Hoover com
mission had endorsed the CVA
plan.
Davidson, a personable and
smart man, used a small section
of the Hoover report in making
this claim," Polk said, "but he
failed to point out that while
the commission had recommend
ed continuation of the TVA for
sufficient time to determine its
worth, the report came out flat
ly against any other river basin
authorities.
The section that Mr. David
son did not present read: 'the
commission is opposed to all
valley authority types of de
velopment in other river basins
of the nation.' " Polk added.
And the chief propagandist for
CVA was forced to admit the
opposition of the Hoover com
mission to valley authorities
only after Senator Cain of
Washington had read the section
of the report.
The CVA bill in congress,
which Polk declares is now dor
mant because the house commit
tee has announced that no furth
er hearings will be held this
session, would destroy state
rights and would remove juris
diction by congress over any fed
eral projects within a valley
authority.
"A three man board appoint
ed by Washington," said Polk,
"would under the bill be given
absolute power to develop the
Columbia river basin as they see
lit."
Polk declared that a CVA
would be a political machine
under either a democratic or re
publican administration.
secured at that time.
State police pointed out that
Kruger was not an employe of
the institution but had been
working on a construction proj
ect at the correctional home for
girls.
Taken before district "court
Thursday morning, the charges
were continued for plea to Fri
day and Krugen was returned to
Marion county jail In lieu of
the $3000 bail.
