'Partnership' Plan
Praised by Speaker
At Dam Dedication
Eugene -XU.tt Partnership
construction of Pacific North
west dams was described Sat
urday as "one of the most excit
ing solutions" to the region's wa
ter problem by George E. Rod
erick, Assistant Secretary of the
Army.
Speaking before a crowd of
thousands at the dedication of
the Corps of Engineers' Lookout
Point Dam, Roderick said "part
nership seems to offer an ad
mirable formula for joint neces
sary federal and local effort in
the realization of our great water-resources
potentialities."
Augments U. S. Funds
Roderick recalled that "we
have to spend 85 per cent of our
national budget on things relat
ing to defense." He added that
"by allowing private interests to
handle that part of the project
that will serve private needs, we
can make our federal dollars go
much further, augmented by pri
vate resources."
"Unless we want to imperil
our national security, or raise
taxes to ruinous heights, we have
got to make our money do more
work for us in this way, he said.
Roderick told the audience
gathered along the Willamette
river that the Eisenhower ad
ministration had allocated be
tween 33 and 40 per cent of its
Corps of Engineers construction
budget to the Columbia river
basin projects.
Hop for More
"Through partnership," he
said, "we hope to accomplish
even more here than this already

striking future would promise
Roderick lauded the efforts of
Secretary of Interior Douglas
McKay for his years of service
as chairman of the Willamette
River Basin Project Committee
in laying the groundwork for
basin dams.
Eugene (U.R) Rep. Harris
Ellsworth (R-Ore.) Saturday said
three more Willamette valley
dams are urgently needed to
take care of the "amazing in
crease in population," in the area
Lists Three Dams
The Oregon Republican, in a
speech prepared for delivery at
ceremonies dedicating Lookout
Point Dam near here, named the
three dams as the Cougar, Green
Peter and Hills Creek projects
"In all frankness, however,'1
he warned, "there seems to be
less likelihood of appropriatons
for the next three dams in our
Willamette Basin program being
made at the same rate we have
enjoyed thus for."
Well Treated
Ellsworth said, the valley's
flood control project "has been
very well treated by Congress
The gederal government has
spent $180,033,000 to date on
the five dams in the valley
Lookout Point Dam was the
latest to be built.
Ellsworth said he was "dead
sure" that the three proposed
Willamette Valley dams would
receive preference from the ap
propriations committee of Con
gress over many other similar
nroiects "if and when" local
money was ready to back one-
third of the dam s total cost.
