Backers of Partnership Power
May Get House Endorsement Soon
By A. 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. In the 83rd Congress,

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-

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."

Class
of 1985!
It would take a long time to determine who won the
bet but we'd be willing to wager that the lad in the
picture winds up owning a Cadillac! V
We feel so confident because he is starting out like
a typical Cadillac owner.
Prcponderately, Cadillac owners are self-made men.
They just emerge from everywhere.
- But they are usually marked, quite early in life, by :
industry and thrift and the will to succeed.'
That's why we say that this wonderful lad out
earning money to make himself self-sufficient is
very likely to wind up owning a Cadillac.' Looking,
at him, 'as he labors, we estimate the class of 1985!
We hope we are around to deliver his car when the
great day arrives for it's a great thrill to hand out
the keys when an owner comes in for his first Cadillac.
It's worth a lot to see the smile on his face and the
gleam in his eye as he settles himself behind the wheel

Of course, for the lad in the picture, the thrill of
that first Cadillac is still a great many years away.
But how about you? Is the time coming close for
your dream of a Cadillac to come to a happy ending?
If so, we'd be happy indeed to see you. .
This is a wonderful year for owning a new Cadillac
whether it's your first or your fifth or your tenth.
Never before , has Cadillac performance been so
marvelous its beauty so arresting its comfort and
handling ease so delightful. It is more decisively than
ever the Standard of the World!
Why not come in today and check this for your

revealing hour you ever spent in a motor car. 1
