COAST POWER HOOKUP AS DEFENSE MEASURE SUGGESTED BY RAVER Washington, May 28. (IP) Paul J. Raver, Bonneville power administrator, suggested to Sec retary Ickes today that all pri vate and public power facilities in the Pacific northwest be interconnected as a national de fense measure. He made the suggestion in a formal statement, saying that the hook-up would involve the Bonneville power development on the Columbia river 40 miles east of Portland. Ore., and the Grand Coulee project on the Columbia river m central Wash ington. Neither Raver nor Ickes of fered any plan for the hook-up nor made any public estimates of the cost. "If we are prepared to meet the power demand of the na tional defense program, with its inherent industrial expan sion," Raver told Ickes. "it is necessary that we accelerate the completion of the interconnec tion of the government plants on the Columbia river with all existing (private or public) util ities in the area." LI NOT JOBLESS, IS Letter Received From Sec retary of Group Planning Co-op Near Grants Pass. A letter from the Pioneer club of Long Beach. Cal., today stated that some erroneous in formation about the group's plans had been published in a Long Beach newspaper from which the Mail Tribune recent ly ran a reprint. This is the group that proposes moving to the vicinity of Grants Pass, there to establish a cooperative venture In timbering. The letter from the Pioneer club's secretary, R. C. Parcells. said that in the firt place the Long Beach people planning the cooperative enterprire are not unemployed, as was stated in the newspaper story. " At least 9S per cent of the mem bership is working." Mr. Par cells wrote.. Logging Only. The group already has title to sufficient timber land to meet Immediate needs and there is no Intention at present of doing any milling, so that there will be no plant or manufacturing investment and overhead to take care of, the letter said. For the present, according to Mr. Parcells, the group will do only logging and the quoted price of $14 a thousand board feet would allow ample profit. (Lumber authorities here, how ever, emphasized that $14 a thousand is for rough-finished Douglas fir lumber, not logs, and that the current market on Douglas fir logs is $7.23 a thousand, delivered.) The Pioneer club's letter stressed that all Income would be distributed among the mem bers of the cooperative. "Our membership," the letter said, "comprises a group of scrupulously selected parties, highly skilled in their respec tive vocations many of them are former Oregonians. familiar with conditions, and highly elated at the prospect of re turning to their state." Plan Studied. Asserting that the group an ticipates success, the letter con tinued: "Each and every mem ber has an absolute determin ation to make our co-operative reach its goal NOT riches, but to build a home and independ ence. And we anticipate keenly the time when we shall become permanent residents and a real asset to the community and state." The group has made a thor ough study of what It proposes to do. has sufficient capital for necessary tools and sustenence and anticipates no necessity for aid from anyone, the letter declared. What was described as a Pio neer club prospectus being cir culated in southern California was reproduced in the Grants Pass Courier Saturday. No one in Grants Pass knew anything about the cooperative enter prise, the Courier said. One appeal In the asserted prospectus was that: "Game and fish of various kinds may be had the year around, to say nothing of fruits in season, both wild and cultivated." Another statement: "A defin ite market is assured at all times for our logs to any number of mills within a very short dis tance of our operations." Lumbermen pointed out that to do even logging expensive equipment, such as tractors and heavy trucks, is invariably nec essary. It is the general practice to deliver logs to U,- mills and that requires trucking facilities,' it was emphasized. E WILL BE FEATURE DAY Procession to March at 9:30 A.M.
