Companies Concerned
James H. Polhemus, PGE pres
ident, and Paul B. McKee, who
heads PP&L, said In making an
nouncement of the offer that it
was induced by the "grave con
cern" the three companies felt
over the "pending power short
aae in the Pacific Northwest
which will develop early in the
1960's if no new large projects
are immediately started."
Because survey and core drill

winter's low water season, the
offer would gain approximately

construction of the federal proj

Tesl of 'Conelrad'
Slated Wednesday;
Purposes Listed
There will be a national test
of Conelrad, the emergency ra
dio broadcast system on Wed
nesday, Nov. 17, from 1:30 to
4:30 a.m., according 'to Col.
Charles E. Stafford, civil de
fense director for Jackson coun
ty: Y
Radio stations will operate on
only 640 or 1240 kilocycles dur
ing an "air-raid" . warning- Pur
pose is to prevent enemy bomb
ers from using stations as a nav
igational aid. During a national
emergency Conelrad will be in
effect until an all-clear is re
ceived from the military. Then
stations will return to contin
uous broadcasting on normal fre
quencies. ' ,
'On-Off System A
In addition to using only 640
and 1240 kilocycles, most radio
stations will broadcast on an
"on-off" system. That is, they
will be on the air for about 20
seconds at a time and off the air
for intervals of from two to
eight minutes.
"Because of this on-off, sys
tem, it is important that people
learn where to tune their radio
sets before an emergency oc
curs," said Col. Stafford. "Em
ergency information work is one
of the most important phases of
civil defense. Official bulletins
from radio stations, followed by
full leports in emergency news
paper editions, will keep the
public informed, help avert pan
ic, and direct disaster relief
work."
