Testimony Shows Trends
The testimony given at the
hearing before the Senate Na
tural Resources committee head
ed by Sen. Paul E. Geddes, Rose
burg Republican, showed a
trend, observers said, of those
for partnership development of
the Columbia river basin in fav
or of the compact and those in
favor of full federal develop
ment opposed to it.
The compact would have to
be ratified by Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, then
approved by Congress before it
became effective. Also joining
in the compact with one vote
each would be Nevada, Wyom
ing and Utah. The four ratify
ing states would have two votes
each.
Proponents of the compact,
through which the seven states
would get together on power,
water rights, and other matters
pertinent to the Columbia basin,
gave the opening arguments and
the opponents took most of the
night session.
Opposition Expressed
James P. Marr, executive sec
retary of the state AFL and
George Brown, executive secre
tary of the state CIO, said they
were opposed to the compact
on grounds that it might allocate
proportionately more power to
states upstream from Oregon.
Elmer McClure of the State
Grange and Harley Libby of the
Oregon Farmers Union express
ed similar opposition.
Earlier, Barry Brownell of Sa
lem and Oregon City, second
vice-president of the Oregon
Farm Bureau federation, said
the OFBF was on' record as fa
voring the compact.
Coordination of Views.
General O. E.- Walsh, former
North Pacific division engineer
for the U. S. Corps of Engin
eers artd now with Portland
General Electric, said the com
pact would lead to a coordina
tion of views of the states in
volved on basin development.
Ralph Cowgil, Portland engin
eer who said he represented 1;
400 Pacific Northwest engineers
favored the compact, expressing
belief it would give the Pacific
Northwest a controlling voice in
Columbia basin development.
