Critics of Public (Power Win
Dii IFSrst SoDid Test on Uouse
By ROBERT A. SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington (Special) In the
first solid test of the mood of
the present House of Representa
tives on the touchy, public vs.
private power question, critics
of public power have won a
hands-down victory that is being
taken as an indicator of what
may happen to such Pacific
Northwest questions as Hells
Canyon and "partnership" con
struction of dams on the Colum
bia and Willamette rivers.
The test came on whether Con
gress should vote funds to con
nect the TV A system with the
proposed Dixon-Yates steam
plant via transmission line across
the Mississippi river as asked by
th Eisenhower administration.
Democratic critics of the Dixon-Yates
power contract, which
has already been sealed by the
administration and the private
utility combine that plans to
build the plant, saw this as a last
opportunity to block the imple
mentation of the contract. The
Democratically-controlled House
Appropriations Committee ear
lier had approved their scheme
to deny funds for the transmis
sion line hookup with TV A.
Republican supporters of the
Dixon-Yates power deal brought

1 the issue to a head on the House
j floor last Thursday when debate
neared a voting climax on the
big public works construction
money bill. They moved to re
verse the action of the Demo
crats on the committee and ap
prove the power plant tiein.
"The Dixon-Yates contract is
a matter of national concern,"
declared Rep. Natcher (D-Ky.)
"and success of" this plan ulti
mately means not only the de
struction of TVA, but the sams
! cititafinn will annlv in TTolle
Canyon, Trinity River, and the
Niagara Falls redevelopment."
Rep Halleck (R-Ind.), GOP
floor leader, roared back a few
minutes later that "you people
have done very well down there
(in TVA country) compared to
the taxpayers of the rest of the
country, and I might suggest that
it might not be too wise to ride
a good horse to death. Possibly
you are afraid the gravy train
is running out."
itep. Jones (D-Aia.) had a
quick appeal to the "rest of the
country" "This immediate pro
posal does not confine itself just
to TVA.. There is a larger ques
tion, the question of whether or
not the people, through their
government, will continue to
control the management of the
TVA, Bonneville Power admin
istration, the rural electrifica
tion program, and all the flood
control projects (of the Corps of
Engineers) that presently contain
a multiple function, including
the supplying of electric energy."
Rep. Arends (R-Ill.), GOP
whip, said the vote the House
was about to take was "whether,
as a matter of national policy,
we shall promote federal public
power rather than private enter
prise. It is essentially whether
we believe in socialism or
whether we believe in our Amer
ican system of free, private en
terprise. To this fundamental is
sue all this talk about costs,
rates, interest, and taxes, is superfluous."

Sam Coon's bill for "partner

and that the high Hells Canyon
dam bill would have tough going
through the House in its present
mood.

Back and forth it went, with
Pacific Northwest Democrats
and Republicans sitting this one
out. On the final vote, the Republican-led
plan to approve
funds for the Dixon-Yates power
line wa approved 198-169 by a
teller vote. Realizing they were
defeated, Democrats who fought
the plan did not ask for a formal
roll call that would have placed
each member on record on the
question.
While the same battle is ex
pected to be fought when the
bill comes up in the Senate later
this summer, this was the first
test run through the House of
any major public vs. private

Oregon Accredited
In Disease Control
Oregon will become an accred
ited state under the expanded
program for control and eradica
tion of brucellosis within the
next two or three years, Dr.
George N. Gitzen, Medford vet
erinarian, told the Rogue River
Jersey Cattle club last week end.
This will be a distinct economic
advantage, he said, since it will
mean that Oregon cattle may
move freely anywhere in the
United States. At present the
only three states in the union
which have achieved accredited
status of 1 per cent or less of bo
vine reactors are Maine, New
Hampshire and North Carolina.
For Bees and Dairy
The new expanded and accel
erated program' which was ini
tiated last March by the U. S.
Degartment of Agriculture pro
vides for testing of beef as well
as dairy cattle for brucellosis or
bangs disease, and for vaccina
tion of calves as a preventive
measure. This is an entirely free
service available upon request,
Dr. Gitzen stated. It is recom
mended that vaccination of beef
calves take place between 6 and
12 months of age, and that of
dairy calves between the ages of
4 and 8 months. The federal gov
ernment pays the total indem
nity for beef reactors amounting
to $50 for purebred animals and
$25 for grades, and also supplies
a proportion of the indemnity
for reactors among dairy cattle,
the speaker said.
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd George
were hosts to the club at a pic
nic site on their ranch beyond
Lake Creek. Reports were heard
concerning the Junior Dairy
show held in Gold Hill May 21
under club sponsorship. This
was a successful event, and ap
preciation was expressed to the
firms and individuals who do
nated awards, and to all who co-
orjerated in other ways.
Report on Session
Frank Schutzohl of Grants
Pass gave a brief report of the
sessions of the American Jersey
Cattle club held in Salem, which
was attended by member-s from
36 states, constituting the larg
est representation at any annual
meeting in club history. Mrs. W.
D. Mongold of Eagle Point de
scribed the Dairy Foods festl
val held in Medford recently
This event was attended by
1.000 adults and many children,
she said, and proved so success
ful that it is to be an annual
event to usher in June Dairy
month.
Fifteen club members and
their families from Jackson and
Josenhine counties were pres
ent in addition to the following
guests: Dr. Gitzen, Mrs. Rachael
Crameron, , Grants Pass, Art
Morton,, California, ' and John
and ' Hughes, Eagle Point. The
next meeting of the club.
another picnic, is scheduled for

Holiday Traffic Death Rate Cut 2.3 Per Cent
Salem U.R) The nation
scored a 2.3 per cent reduction
in traffic fatalities during the
Memorial Day week end, sub
stantially final figures from the
48 states show, Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry said Mon
day. The death count, compiled for
the nation-wide "slow down and
live" campaign, showed 22 states
and the district of Columbia re
duced fatalities below 1954 while
eight states held even. Five
states had no highway deaths
during the period and 18 states
recorded an increase.
Oregon reported five fatalities
compared with nine a year ago,
a decline of 44 per cent.
By regions, the nine far west
ern states led the reduction by
cutting fatalities 19.7 per cent.
Two Oregon Apprentices

nounced today by the commit
tee in charge of the state contest.

Columbia Bridge
Said Out of Date
Portland (U.R) Army -engineers
were told by towboat
men and bridge engineers yes
terday the present bridge across
the Columbia river between
Portland and Vancouver is out
of date and should be modified
when the proposed new bridge
is built.
Towing company representa
tives told the engineers' hearing
about difficulties of getting barg
es, boats and rafts through the
present structure. There also is
an increasing amount of river
traffic using the bridge. .
R. H. Baldock, Oregon state
highway engineer, said there
was little sense to build a new
bridge if the old one was to re
main as it is. Baldock said the
states of Oregon and Washington
had offered to pay half the es
timated $2,310,000 modification
cost if the federal government
would pay the rest.
