The young speakers have been coached by DeVere Taylor, speech instructor at the high school. Beth Fenton and Steve Nye spoke for the affirmative, maintaining that those conscript ed for military service are ob liged to make sacrifices, while with war workers the only prob lem is to find the section of the country where the highest wages are being paid. They also pointed out that sometimes there is difficulty in obtaining sufficient workers in times of emergency, and that the conscription plan would be effective only in war time. Negative Argument The negative side was carried by Richard Dickinson and Bill McAllister, and they argued that such a plan is not necessary be cause the American people dis like regimentation; that costs would be excessive; that a mass movement of workers would cause housing problems, and that the plan would actually lead to totalitarianism. The negative argument also pointed out that production by the western nations is far great er than that of Russia, and that a smaller labor force could achive the same results of a much larger force during the last war. State Moves To Block Plan for Pelton Dam On Deschutes River Portland U.R The State of Oregon Wednesday moved to block construction of the con troversial Pelton Dam on the Deschutes river by taking court action to challenge the Federal Power Commission's license to build the prolect. Arthur G. Higgs, assistant at torney general of Oregon, said he had filed with the U. S. ninth court of appeals in San Fran cisco a petition for a writ of review to set aside the order of the FPC granting the license. Lacks Jurisdiction The petition sets out that the FPC lacks jurisdiction to author ize issuance of the license to build a hydroelectric project on a non-navigable river In the state. It also contends that the com mission has no right to authorize a private utility company to use, divert or impound the waters of any internal non-navigable streams in Oregon. First Step Filing of the petition was the first step in long-expected legal action by the Oregon state fish and game commissions to block Pelton dam construction. Hearings on the Portland Gen eral Electric company's applica tion for a license was held be fore a federal power commission trial examiner last June. At that time, the state by its sovereignty and the state fish and game com mission intervened to object to a license. Disagree en Facilities Subsequently the power com mission granted the license on the recommendation of the examiner.
