IF. 4s o Sam Goon, second district con gressman, said that partnership is not a partisan issue, that of 26 partnership projects authorized in the last 50 years 14 of them had been established under liemocra- tlc presidents. "The Cove project on the Des chutes is a partnership dam be tween Lhe Reclamation bureau and Pacific Power & Ught and it was authorized by President Har ry Truman. There are many others.” said the congressman. In citing the need for an imme diate start on the John Day dam, Coon said that it would require an investment of a million dollars a day to provide the power for the Northwest needs. At the rate ap propriations are being made by the federal government It will re quire 27 years for enough money to be alloted to this area. There are 1100 projects already author ized at an estimated cost of nine billion dollars. The congressman accused the Democrat members of congress from Oregon of helping defeat the appropriations for the John Day dam so they could i>olnt to a re cord of no new starts on the part of the Elsenhower administration "Oregon’s resource and industri al development therefore are held back because certain people would rather play politics than help build Oregon and create new job opportunities for our people” he said. Mr. Coon tol«l of some of the actions of the congress last year in foreign affairs saying that the adoption of the Formosa resolu- ton had stopped Red China from attacking Formosa and that the prewident had scored a diploma tic victory at Geneva. The highway bill was lost lie- cause of politics, said the congress man, as the Democrats would not support Elsenhower's bill and could not support their own bill liecttuse of its heavy taxation of the truck industry. Coon said in answer to a ques tion that the cost of power at the damsite under his bill would be 2.5 mills compared to 2.2 at Bon neville. Jlils is about the same as the rate will be at The Dalles and McNary dams. That will be the wholesale rate, comparable to the Bonneville rate. He said that he favored the low John Day dam in stead of the high and felt that the engineers would soon change to favor it also.
