rOTJSEirMEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, December 7, 1953 O Neaberger Raps Proposed River 'User Charges' Portland (U.R) Two days of hearings by a Congressional sub committee on the Hoover Com mission's water and power re sources report ended here yes- 0 5 . terday and the group moved to L?s Angeles. Proposed river "user charges" came under fire yesterday bv Ore.). He said he considered (Shis a blow at public power de lopment because of the con viction between navigation and flower development in multi- fjarpose dams. "The private util ities hope to , discourage both navigation and power projects because power and navigation are twin results of river develop ment, and an increase in federal power is regarded as a threat to monopolies in this field," he crf said. State Control Threatened ) Lewis Stanley, state engineer, said Oregon felt that a U. S. Supreme Court decision giving Portland General Electric com pany a go-ahead to build Pelton dam threatened state control of water rights. He asked the sub committee support legislation assuring state sovereignty over its non-navigable waters. Vivan Janes, assistant super intendent of Tacoma City Light, urged legislation for "partner ship" power construction and sale of present suchefacilities to regional public bodies. He said Washington was holding the city's proposed Cowlitz river dams. Sufficient Approval Doubted Allan Smith, attorney for Pa cific Power and Light, said pri vate utilities are interested in continued federal construction of power projects but that he doubted Congress would approve all that was needed in the next 10 years. , The Hoover report recom mended creation of a national water resources board and that the government build power pro jects that were beyond capabil ities of local areas. It also rec ommended against overlapping jurisdiction of several agencies in the field.
