Labor Conscription
Argued by Debate
Team for Rotary
A debate on the subject of
whether or not all American
citizens should be subject to
conscription for essential serv
ices in time of war was present
ed for Medford Rotarians at
their luncheon meeting yester
day by four Medford high school
debaters yesterday.
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.

the anticipated growth, he
added.
However, Jackson said two
major obstacles, lack of unity
in the region and eastern indus
trial opposition, must be sur
mounted to achieve these re
sults.
Must Find Solution
"We need a 10-year truce
among ourselves," he said. "We
must find a solution to the con
flicts between private and pub
lic power, fish and power, and
state and federal power.
The Everett congressman said
well-organized opposition by
eastern industrialists is reaching
"staggering proportions.
