Eisenhower Said Returning to Days Of Teddy Roosevelt New York U.R) - Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said yesterday the Eisenhower admin istration is setting back natural resource conservation "to condi tions prevailing before the days of Theodore Roosevelt." He said "the end of the public - power program by this admin- - istration can only mean eco nomic stagnation in many key regions of the United States." Return To Teited Program Hoped ' Speaking at the Americans for Democratic Action's annual Roosevelt Day banquet, Neuber ger said he hopes the new Democratic-controlled 84th Congress accomplishes "a return to the tried and tested program of con servation and resource develop ment which was nearly half a century old." , , He said the "harmful effects" of the results of the "turned back" program "are of great significance to both East and West." : .. - "Integrated; economically as we are," he said, "policies which adversely affect growth and pros perity of one region also thread en other sections of the nation." Neuberger said "the 50-year-old federal public power pro gram went out the window when the new administration came in the door." K Absentee Corporation He, said the Hell's Canyon dam site in Idaho was . being turned over to private power so it could be developed by "local Interests." "In this case," he said, "the local interests' were an absentee-dominated corporation which holds its annual meeting 2,500 miles .from Idaho." Neuberger attacked the ad ministration's "partnership" pro gram under which the govern ment Turnishes half the cost of the dams tand private" utilities the other half. When the dam is built, , the governnient gets whatever . revenues can- be de rived from the fish ladders, locks and flood gates, and the utility gets the . kilowatts from the powerhouse for a period of at least 50 years,, he said. -Private Firms Skim Cream "I think it is significant that the administration is proposing partnership for development of the power-rich Columbia, but recommends full federal con struction in the Colorado river basin - where power output is more costly and less profitable," he said. : .w. ;1t appears 'tfiat the adminis tration program is designed to let the private power companies kim the cream while Uncle Sam Medford&Tribime m .
