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. . . ? .
Discussed by Panels
The Droblem was considered
further at an afternoon . panel
discussion at which Charles Mc
Kinley of the Portland Planning
commission presided.
Gov. Paul Patterson was sched
uled to speak to the convention
today. Dr. O. Meredith Wilson.
president of the University of
uregon, will address-the annual
banquet tonight.

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.

Medical Education
Freedom Ike's Wish
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower said today he is in
tensely interested in keeping
medical education free from gov
ernment domination.
The President made his re
mark when leaders of the Na
tional Fund for Medical Educa
tion presented him with the
Frank H. Lahey memorial award
for "outstanding leadership in
medical education."
. Mr. Eisenhower said he feels
unworthy of the award. He ex
plained that his only part in
founding the national fund in
1949, when he was president of
Columbia University, was getting
someone else to do the work.
The President said he is inter
ested in getting private funds
for medical schools because "this
is one profession we don't want
to get under 4he dead hand of
bureaucracy."
