Print Cilies in Oregon Urged To Avoid 'Fringe' Problems Portland U.R) Theodore Meriam, mayor of Chico, Calif., yesterday urged Oregon cities to make long-range plans to avoid the "fringe area" problem facing municipalities in his state. Meriam, who is second vice president and treasurer of the League of California cities, was the keynote speaker at the open ing of the joint convention of the League of Oregon Cities and the Oregon Finance Officers associ ation here. Difficult Problem Meriam told the 800 delegates that the fringe area problem, or how to provide governmental services for urban communities outside citv limits, has been "dif ficult and vexing" in California. Cities should seek to grow, seek to annex as aggressively as is consistent with local inter est 'and desire." But he said that unincorporated urban areas that need and want special municipal type services should . pay for them themselves and not be sub sidized by others. . . ? .

Dixon-Yates Pact Said To Provide Exorbitant Profit Washington U.R) Sen. Al bert Gore (D-Tenn.), said last night the Dixon-Yates power contract, despite "so-called im provements," still will allow "exorbitant profit" to the pri vate utility group involved. The Tennessee Senator, one of the chief critics of the contract, said it still is possible the com panies in the Dixon-Yates com bine "can go through with this deal without putting up as much as one silver dollar, or one paper dollar." No Bearing on Risk Gore said revisions made in the contract before it was signed by the Atomic Energy Commis sion last week "had no bearing upon the risk" assumed by the utility group. The big risk in the utility business, Gore said, is in getting customers and- collect ing bills, but in the case of Dixon-Yates, "the government com mits itself to a contract for 25 years, so there is no risk as to market." The contract provides for Dixon-Yates to build a steam plant to supply power to the Tennessee Valley Authority to replace TVA power used by the "Atomic Ener gy Commission. Contract Denounced Gore ' and others have de nounced the contract as an at tack on TVA. But even more im portant, he said, is the "prosti tution" of the AEC. He said the contract draws the AEC "into a political fight" and "into the power business which was not its function at all." Gore said he believes the Democratic-controlled Congress next year can "kill' the contract even though it has already been for mally implemented. 4-H Club News - Dairy Club Central Point 4-H Dairy club met at the M. .
