Morse Outlines
'Continued from Page 1)
"I have delayed and shall con
tinue to delay any final commit
ments on the CVA issue until we
have all the facts. I believe in
handling first things first and
the first thing we need is com
pletion of the blue prints for
the construction of these north
west river development proj
ects," he added
Advice to Republicans
Senator Morse made the state
ment on CVA in giving out his
views on the fight ahead for
republicans in the 1950 election.
"I repeat something I have
said many times the republic
ans must stand for a construc
tive program on various issues
that concern the voters, rather
than always being against some
thing," and from there on came
his complete statement on the
CVA issue part of which fol
lows: "Take for example the CVA-
issue what the republicans
should do is come forward with
a constructive program for han
dling the administration of the
river development projects of
the northwest, rather than just
takine a negative attitude to be
against everything that the de-
mocrals propose.
"My position on CVA will be
determined after the congres
sional hearings have been held
in the Pacific northwest and I
have had time to study thor
oughly all economic angles of
the issue.
Coordination Needed
"I am not interested in the
political issues, it is the econom
ic angle that is vital to the wel
fare of the people of the Pacific
northwest.
"I believe there is need for
some form of legislation which
will bring about a greater co
ordination and improvement in
efficiency and will bring the
elimination of waste and dupli
cation which are bound to exist
if we have multi-jurisdiction
trying to administer multi-purpose
power dams.
"However, there are certain
basic principles that ought to be
recognized in working out any
coordinated program;
"1 All of us should recog
nize, as the late Senator Charles
L. McNary always pointed out,
that the biggest stake the people
of Oregon and the Pacific north
west has in the development of
the rivers is the earliest possi
ble completion of the multi-purpose
dams themselves.
Unity Held Essential
"Cheap power, flood control,
soil conservation, and atomic
energy development will require
that we remain a united people
behind a constructive program
of completion of the dams at
the earliest possible time.
"For that reason I have de
plored what I consider an un
fair and unnecessary split in
public support for our north
west river development projects,
caused, for the most part, by the
emotional debates over a CVA.
"Important as a long time co
ordinated administralive pro
gram may be there Is no deny
ing the fact that for the next
three or four years the thing
that is most important for the
people of Oregon and the north
west is lo get the multi-purpose
dams built and avoid as much
as possible the dissention among
us as to how these projects are
to be administered, once they
are built.
Splits Weaken Northwest
"Every time public opinion in
the Pacific northwest splits
over any issue involving devel
opment of the river resources
we weaken our position as far
ej-t aufiyvji v in m-win--;. ii-ti aiiimii'
eastern senators for the actual
construction of the projects.
"After all the proposed CVA
bill has nothing to do with
building the dams, but Involves
only the problem of adminl.-rter-
ing the operations once they are
built.
"Therefore. I have delayed
and shall continue to delay any
final commitment on the CVA
until I get all the facts.
I be-
lleve In handling first things
first, and the first thing we need
Is completion of the blue prints
for the construction of these
northwest development proj
ects. Dams a NeceltT
"There is no dipute of
serious degree concerning
necessity for these dams,
economic prosperity of
any
the
The
the
northwest and of the rest of the
country demands completion of
them at the earliest possible
dale.
"Our national defense makes
their completion Imperative. As!
a member of the armed services
committee in the senate I am
satisfied that the maximum de
velopment of American power
resources is recognized by Rus
sia as our most important de
fense weapon because of the
atomic age in which we now
live.
"2. We should remember that
whenever it comes to working
out a coordinated program for
administering tl.e river develop
ment projects we need to apply
the same pattern of reorganiza
tion of government as character
izes the Hoover reports in con
nection with other governmental
activities. There is no doubt
about the fact that the Hoover
recommendations const i t u t e
sharp-cropping shears which if
adopted will cut out of our pres
ent governmental practice a
great deal of waste and unneces
sary duplication of govern
mental activity.
Effects of Hoover Plan
"I have seen the effects of the
Hoover recommendations on the
armed services and I have no
doubt in every other branch of
government many millions of
dollars, totalling several bil
lions when added all together,
can be saved the taxpayers if
the politicians have the courage
to use the Hoover recommenda
tions on expenditure pruning.
"Therefore, amid all the ex
treme charges and counter
charges concerning the CVA is
sue I would suggest to the
thoughtful citizens that they
study the recommendations of
the Hoover commission in re
spect to administering those
governmental agencies that have
some jurisdiction over river de
velopment and see if they can
not select from those recom
mendations some very helpful
suggestions for a more efficient
administration on a coordinated
basis for our river resources de
velopment. Protect Local, Stale Interests
"Before we are through the
study of tlie CVA proposals we
need see to it that local and state
interests are protected in the
determination of both overall
economic polices and adminis
trative practices. After all, most
of the money that will go into
these
self-liquidating projects
will come out of the pockets of
the taxpayers of the Pacific
northwest.
I think it is possible to work
out in whatever legislation is
tinaiiy aaopiea an administra
tion system which will give to
the governors of the respective
states and through them the
people of these states an active
participation in the determina
tion of regional policies.
"It is my intention to sift the
facts from the fallacies in this
entire CVA issue and try to help
the republicans find a construc
tive answer to the question:
What sort of an administration
should be developed for the han
dling of this project which will
give to the people an abundance
of cheap power, adequate flood
control, soil conservation, irri
gation and reclamation.
"That question calls for a pos
itive, constructive answer on the
part of the republicans of Ore
gon, and for the nation, for that
matter. It calls for being for
something, rather than always
being against something.
"It calls for the elimination
of a partisan political approach
to a problem which can be an
swered for the peoples interest
only by placing sound princi
ples of government administra
tion above political advantage.
"It is in that spirit that I in
tend to conduct my campaign
during the primary and general
election in Oregon next year. I
am confident the overwhelm
ing majority of the voters will
agree with my approach."
Zoning Plan for
West Salem Held-up
The proposed zoning plan for
the new Salem area in Polk
county was referred back to the
city planning commission by the
city council Monday niRht.
Attorney Fred A. Williams,

velop plan for the area, urged
the council to refer the plan
back In order that they might
make further presentations to

ted deluge of public school pu
pils, especially in the first grade,
Superintendent Frank B. Ben
nett is endeavoring to work out
a plan of equalization in an ef
fort to cut down the teacher
load.
The congestion is so severe in
some spots it may be necessary
to construct additions to the
Highland, Richmond, and Mc
Kinley buildings. When the re
cent bond issue of $1,500,000
was adopted by the voters, the
board had haped to enlarge Rich
mond and McKinley, but bids
were more than the money avail
able. It is probable four addition
al teachers must he secured im
mediately lo handle the enlarg
ed enrollment. These would in
clude one primary teacher each
at Bush and Highland, a second
grade instructor at Richmond
and an intermediate teacher at
the new Washington building.
Transfer of some pupils from
Richmond to Bush is a proba
bility and some type of read
justment at Pringle must also
be made, the superintendent
slates.
Ask Devaluation
(Continued from Pase n
"Unfortunately," he said, "it
has become apparent that many
countries cannot now afford am
bitious programs of social serv
ices without either cutting their
living standards in other re
spects or culling back their
productive investments . . ."
Hits U.S. Gold Policies
The criticism of American
gold policies came from N. C.
Havenga, finance minister of the
Union of South Africa. Without
referring to the United States
by name, he said the internation
al fund would become an "in
strument" of some members if it
failed to raise the gold price
from its present level of $35 an
ounce.
South Africa is the world's
leading gold producer. The Unit
ed States is just about the only
buyer of the metal.
The devaluation scheme was
dumped into the delegates' laps
by the executive directors of
the monetary fund, via their an
nual report, and was backed up
by Black and other speakers.
Pointed at Britain
The fund directors who sug
gested the idea ducked the red
hot issue of which countries
should devalue their currencies.
But it appeared to be pointed
squarely at the British, who
have been trying desperately to
squeak through their present
economic crisis without further
lowering the value of the pound.
The British won at 1 e a s t a
temporary respite at the close of
the six-day Anglo-American-Canadian
dollar conference which
ended yesterday with a limited
agreement providing partial aid
in their present emergency.

Detroit Election
Set October 13
The Marion countycourtTues
day set October 13 as the date
for a special election to be held
in the area which it is desired
to incorporate as the city of De
troit. Petition asking for the elec
tion was submitted to the court
Monday carrying 100 names. The
law requires 20 per cent of the
registered voters in the area to
make a valid petition. There are
but 391 voters shown as having
cast votes in the entire Breiten
bush precinct and the area pro
posed for Detroit is but a small
portion of the precinct. The 100
names is well in excess of 20
per cent of the voters in the en
tire precinct so the petitions
were held" to be sufficient and
passed on by District Attorney
Stadter.
The proposed city will include
all of the Breitenbush fire dis
trict which lies north of the
North Santiam river in Marion
county and will include the pres
ent towns of Detroit and Idanha,
stretching along the river a dis
tance of six miles from a point
near the school at Detroit to Ma
cy creek.
Producers Agree

J. and L. said it is prepared to
undertake at once a joint study
of pensions with steelworkers
'in anticipation of bargaining
on this subject beginning March
1 next."
"With respect to social insur
ance benefits," the statement
added, "we will negotiate with
the union for the purpose of
reaching a mutually acceptable
reement."
The Wall Street Journal at
the same time said only "a
slight increase" in labor costs
will result if the recommended
social insurance program is put
into effect. The newspaper
added that most steel companies
now have some form of group
life insurance but less than
half have company financed ac
cident, sickness and hospital and
surgical benefits.
