A ssociation
“Brood And Capricious Powers"
Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon has clarified his
position on the proposed Columbia Valley Authority.
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

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.

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?
