ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington (Special) - Con gressional backers of the Eisen hower administration's "part nership" power policy ara get ting legislation to implement that policy off the ground early in this 84th Congress, with fair ly clear indications they will succeed in getting House en dorsement before the summer recess. This is the outlook for the first "partnership" bill, to be taken up this year under which Pacific Power and Light Co. would help finance Green Peter dam on Oregon's South Santiam River and Eugene Water and Electric Board would share in construction of Cougar dam on the McKenzie River. Bursts of Criticism A hearing this past week on this bill, sponsored by Rep. Har ris Ellsworth (R-Ore.), brought some sporadic bursts of criticism from the Democratic side of the House Public Works subcom mittee on flood control but afterward even critics of the bill acknowledged there has been no organized opposition to the Ellsworth "partnership" bill that would be necessary for them to block it. In a word, both its supporters and its opponents generally agree that the Cougar-Green Peter project bill should have little trouble reaching the House floor and being passed by mid summer before the lawmakers quit for the year. Meanwhile, supporters of the John Day "partnership" bill in troduced in April by Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.) are mustering congressional backers in prepa ration for hearings on that legis lation before the same subcom mittee. Although sentiment, has not entirely crystalized on this new bill, under which PP & L, Washington Water Power and Portland General Electric would put up 88 per cent of the cost of the $310 million project in re turn for its 1,105,000 KW output over 50 years, it is getting a more favorable reception than an earlier John Day proposal of last year under which Oregon would have got first call on all the power. Stiffeit Test in Senate ' But the favorable attitude that appears to prevail at this time in the House for "partner ship" legislation does not pre vail in the Senate, and so that is where the stiff est test is ex pected to come on whether the administration can successfully implement its "partnership" power policy. Oregon Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Ncuberger have both come out against both the "partnership" bills now pend ing. Washington Sens. Warren G; Magnuson, and Henry M. Jackson have been critical of the "partnership" policy generally, although they have not stated their positions thus far on either of the current bills. If there is united opposition from these four Democrats to either or both bills, their fate can be expected to be sealed in the Senate Public Works Com mittee on which Neuberger sits, so long as their party controls the Senate. Anything Can Happen ' If there is a division among the four Pacific Northwest sen ators, then anything can happen. In the last Congress, the Priest Rapids "partnership" bill went through the Senate over the op position of Morse for it was backed by the other three reg ional senators, Magnuson, Jack son and Guy Cordon. But Morse succeeded in blocking a Cougar dam ."partnership" bill, which the House had previously passed even though Cordon was press ing as hard as he could to get it through and the GOP held the Senate reins of - power at the time. The backers of "partnership" legislation this year have the advantage of time which they lacked last year. That is, any of these bills that don't receive final action in this year's session will carry ovjr into next year's session of this same 84th Con gress.

Mrs. , Watkins holds the honor of being a member for Washington 0J.R) Grace Tul- ly knew the late Franklin Del anot Roosevelt almost as well as a member of the family. During the four years Mr. Roosevelt was governor of New York and all of his years as President, 1932 to 1945, she was his private secretary. Harman Nichols 'She likes to tell the story, never published, about the time her boss received a shipment of oysters from a dear friend. There was a rule in the White House-then, and there is still, I suppose, that everything the President eats must be looked over for bugs and other things that might do him in. Mr. Roosevelt demanded that he have a few bites of the oysters without delay. He was told that, according to the White House ground rules, the delay might run into considerable time. "The boss," Grace told me dur ing an interview, "was in some thing resembling a rage. He com manded that Harry Hopkins, his assistant, and I run down to the main kitchen in the White House and sample the oysters." "I want some right now, Mr. Roosevelt told her. FDR was a firm man, one to be obeyed, without delay. "Grace," he said to me, "you and Harry try those oysters on for misery. If you are still alive in fwo hours, I want a big bowl of oysters on the half-shell, and another big silver bowl of oyster stew and dessert, And keep some back for seconds on both orders." Grace and Harry Hopkins sur vived the ordeal, and Mr. Roose velt got a tummy full of one of his favorite dishes. But mostly this is a story about the lovely little white- haired lady named Grace Tully, who has served the Democratic party well for more years than she would like to admit. She once worked for Averell Harri man, now the governor of New York. Presently she is executive as sistant to Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, the wheel of the Demo cratic Policy Committee. "It is fun working with the senator," she said. "All of the Democratic leaders are so con siderate and so cooperative." "I asked Miss Tully how she would compare Mr. Roosevelt with Mr. Eisenhower when it comes to press conferences. She said she was present at many of FDR's conferences "as an ob- fundsT. May 1. 1933 MEDFORD MAIL THIBUXB FITS server," but she added that: "Ike has thje advantage of the lights and the cameras and tele vision. We had the cameras, but not the closeups that television gives you. But I would like to say that my boss, FDR, was a lit tle sharper because he always knew his subject so well." Mr. Roosevelt, Grace recalls, had a remarkable memory. "He would buzz me when he had somebody . in his private study. "'Grace, he would say, 'about four months ago, it was on the 7th of the month, I dic tated a short letter to so and so. See if you can find it.' I would look in the files and there it was. And that was amazing, consider ing that he dictated hundreds of letters a month." L. E. Edmonds Buys Truck Sales Firm L. X.
