Norblad Denounces CVA as
'Grand, Glorious Super-state'
In hli first statement concerning the CVA as proposed by
President Truman, Congressman Walter Norblad, came out In
opposition to the bill. His position was given to Young Republicans
of Clackamas county, meeting In West Linn Wednesday nignt.
Norblad contended that the administration's CVA -proposal
is an admission of their
own bad practices. He agreed
that merger and consolidation of
efforts in the valley are needed
but said that CVA is not the an
swer as it goes far beyond any
purported intent of merging and
consolidating for sake of effi
ciency "and imposes itself upon
us a grand and glorious super-state."
His statement in full follows:
"To date I have not made any
statement of my position on the
CVA proposal but wish to do so
here tonight.
"The administration's propos
als for a Columbia Valley Au
thority are, in my opinion, ad
missions of their own bad prac
tices. "Had they not allowed this
careless growth of sprawling,
conflicting, and overlapping gov
ernmental agencies there would
not now be any need for consol
idation of effort and programs.
"The proposal Is certainly no
thing for them to brag about. Ra
ther it is an admission of guilt.
Guilt in failing to follow the
sane and economical methods of
private enterprise in the Colum
bia Valley developments.
"Dozens of agencies have their
hands in this work and more of
ten than not several are attempt
ing to accomplish the same thing
by marching in totally different
directions with the taxpayers
funds.
"Certainly we will agree that
merger and consolidation of ef
forts is needed but CVA is not
the answer to the governmental
maze in which we find ourselves.
If it were to cure this condition
alone, it could be made work
able. But that is not the case.
"It goes way beyond any pur
ported intent of merely merging
and consolidating for the sake
of efficiency and imposes itself
upon us as a grand and glori
ous super-state.
"Its powers are far in excess
of those of all the 5 individual
states in the area. The combined
rights and powers of all legis
latures and governors of these
states would not equal those of
this three man board.
"Specifically here are a few
things it could accomplish; it
could condemn, at its own dis
cretion, any real or personal
property in the Columbia Ba
sin; tell the farmers in the area
what crops they could or could
not raise; build any form of in
dustrial plant it pleased and sell
its products at any price it pleas
ed in competition with existing
industry; control the unexpend
ed balance of the existing proj
ects such as Grand Coulee and
Bonneville; take over all private
power properties in the area,
and have many other powers of
this calibre.
"That is certainly not a sim
ple merger for the sake of sweet
economy.
"It is hoped that local groups
within our area can formulate a
plan or program to harmonize
the operations of the existing
conflicting agencies. Such a pro
gram should come from the area
affected and be locally controll
ed. It should not have the pow
ers proposed and should be gov
erned by ourselves and from
home rather than by a group
sitting behind a mahogany desk
in far-off Washington."

Vet Bonus. List
(Bv th AsiocLted Prtii)
Approval of a state bonus for
World War II veterans in Penn
sylvania raises to at least 18 the
number of state granting such
payments.
The proposal carried by an
overwhelming margin in Tues
day's election in the Keystone
state.
It calls for an outlay of a half
billion dollars, with a maximum
bonus of $300 for an ex-serviceman.
The payment would be
made on the basis of $13 for each
month spent overseas and $10
for each month in the U.S.
A similar proposal apparently
lost in New Jersey.
New York voters decided to
broaden the bonus plan 'which I
they approved in 1948. By a
two to one count, they approv
ed an amendment to allow pay
ments to former New York stat
ers who moved elsewhere after
release from service.
The total amount payable to
veterans in the 18 states which
have okayed bonuses approach
es $2,300,000,000. Five states
have flatly rejected bonuses.
They are Maine, Nebraska, Ore
gon, Wisconsin and Missouri.
Several other states are still
considering bonus proposals.
Washington state's bonus was
approved by the state supreme
court last Saturday after having
once been invalidated in its ori
ginal form.
When the supreme court was
moved from the Capitol In 1937
to its own building, each justice
had his individual chair moved
with him.
Jap Peace Treaty
Far from Ready
Washington, Nov. 10 CUB
Acting Secretary of State James
E. Webb said today he thinks it
will be quite some time before
the United States has even a
preliminary draft to propose as
a basis for a Japanese peace
treaty.
Commenting on reports that
the unveiling of such a draft is
imminent, Webb said there are
only working papers on various
aspects on the Japanese situation
and there is not even inter
departmental agreement on
those.
He said he definitely did not
expect any preliminary drafts
to emerge by the end of this
month, as had been rumored.
of the accidents were due to
drivers turning off the highway
at any and all points without
warning or to sightseers who
jam their brakes on suddenly
for a second look at the scenery.
Eight persons were injured
Sunday in a head-on collision
two miles east of Bridal Veil and
there were many more minor
accidents.
