He is 100 per cent opposed to it. In essence, this opposit ion is based on three distinct principles. First. Senator Morse believes that the bill "places broad arbitrary and capricious administrative power over the economy of the Pacific Northwest in the hands of three presidential appointees whose decisions are not subject to immediate and effective check by the people who are affected by those dcisions.” Second, he said. “I believe the pending CVA bill violates a basic principle of local self-government be cause it fails to give to the people of the Pacific N orth west a voting voice in the determination of CVA poli cies.’’ Third, he concluded, T think there are better ways of accomplishing a sound program of coordination be tween and among the various agencies.” In this regard, he said that he favors the major Hoover Commission recommendations dealing with overlapping govern ment bureaus concerned with power, reclamation, and so on. Senator Morse’s first two points are the important ones. CVA — to an even greater degree than TVA — would mean the beginning of the end of local self-gov ernment. local authority, local independence. The issue thus raised is certainly not restricted to the Pacific Northwest or any single region. It is national through and through. One reason why CVA is being pushed so hard is that it is to be the pattern for identical govern ment corporations which would interlock to enmesh the whole country. To take a current example, Presi-¡ dent Truman, in his State of the Nation address, urged C H E M IS T - Dr. th at the power program be enlarged to include regions ■ RESEARCH E rnest Volwiler, of Chicago, e x “where the benefits of large-scale public power de-' ecutive vice president of A bbott aboratories, has taken office as velopment have not yet been experienced.’’ and speci L president of the Am erican Chem ical Society. Dr. Volwiler fically mentnioned New England. is know n for his achievem ents in research techniques to All in all, nine authorities of the CVA are planned, applying the i m p r o v e m e n t of m any each to be controlled by a three-man board with the pharm aceutical products, and is “broad arbitrary and capricious administrative pow a lender in m edicinal chem istry ers’’ which Senator Morse spoke of. In other words, if this program should be adopted, 27 men would control the basic resources of the United States. The 27 men. uitL virtually unlimited amounts of tax money at their command, and operating tax-exempt public plants, would tell all of us what we could and could not do. If this isn’t a pattern of dictatorship, what is ?, When the authority of the people over their resources and taxing power goes, freedom goes with it. —o— Fire Kills The Helpless The city of Memphis, Tennessee, was chosen from among 3,762 American and Canadian municipalities, fire departments and military establishments as w in-. ner of the 1949 National Fire Prevention Week contest i sponsored by the Nation Board of Fire Underwriters and the National Fire Protection Association. Second and third places among U.S. cities went to Atlantic, Iowa, and Ft. Collins, Colorado. An international com mittee of judges based its decisions on the scrap books, clippings, photographs, records and motion picture evidence of activities during the Week. The communities which won have cause for great and enduring pride. So have those which also competed but did not win. They can try again and do better. Here is one contest in which every city and town should par ticipate. A short time ago, the nation witnessed another horrible fire, in the hospital disaster at Davenport, Iowa which killed 40 mentally-deranged women in spite of heroic work by the firemen and others. The cause of flis fire may never be known, but the building became an inferno with incredible rapidity. One good can come out of this ghastly tragedy — it should cause those in charge of all hospitals, public and private, to take full advantage of the campaign recently initiated by the National Board of Fire Underwriters to inspect the nation’s hospitals, and to show how fire hazards may be eliminated. The inspections are being made by quali- j fied experts, and have nothing to do with commercial aspect sof insurance. Once more fire has struck, killing the helpless. Hirv many more object lessons are needed to get the fullest public cooperation for fire prevention? .
