Republicans Often Find Magnuson
More Foe in Words Than in Deed
(Editor's note: This isthe third of
four article on the implications of
the power policy dispute on the Pa-
cine Nortnwest as it neaas jnio n wi
pntnt i-lection year and a critical
HSOn of Congress.)

Mail Tjibune Correspondent
Washington Much as the
Republican administration
Owould like to defeat Sen. War
ren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.),
1hey have sometimes found him
on the "partnership" powerissue
to be more of a foe in word than
in deed.
The senator considers himself
to be against the Eisenhower ad
rrtjistration's "partnership" pol
icy and yet it was largely be
cause of his support tftat Con
gress last year passed legislation j
allowing for "partnership" con
struction of the Priest Rapids
projects on the Columbia River
east of Yakima. So that project
is to be builto by local utilities,
rather than the federal govern
ment. Jackson Supported Bill
Sen. Henry M. Jackson CD
Wash.) also supported the Priest
Rapids bill, yet he says he op
poses the new power policy of
the GOP administration which
seeks to encourage local utilities
to take the placfof the federal
government in building the ad
ditional hydroelectric dams
needed for energy in the Pacific
Northwest.
The apparent paradox of Mag
nuson and Jackson supporting a
"partnership" bill while oppos
ing the "partnership" policy is
explained by the fact that the
Priest Rapids bill was put forth
by traditional supporters of both
0 senators the organized public
power groups of Washington
state. The dam will be built by
Grant County PUD.
On th) other hand, Magnuson

and Jackson don't normally
command political strength from
the private power companies of
the region who are back of the
proposal to build John Day dam
as a "partnership" undertaking.
Neither do Sens. Wayne Morse
and Richard L. Neuberger (D-
Ore.), who also oppose the John
Day bill.
Bipartisan Support
The Priest Rapids bill sailed
through Congress because it
drew bipartisan support. Among
Financier May Plead
Guilty in FHA Case
Portland '(U.R) An attorney
for Harold J. Schnitzer Satur
day indicated the 32-year-old
Portland financier will plead
either guilty, or no contest, to
charges of lying to the Federal
Housing administration. . -
Attorney Donald McEwen,
who appeared before U. S. Dis
trict Judge William East. Friday
to request permission for his
client to leave the state, said
Schnitzer had signed a waiver to
transfer the charges against him
from Salt Lake City to Portland.
Schnitzer, arrested in Port
land last October by federal au
thorities, was indicted by a. fed
eral grand jury in Salt Lake
City on charges of representing
fictional engineering and legal
costs in obtaining an FHA in
sured loan.
The Portland financier was
engaged in constructing a hous
ing project at Hill Airbase, near
Salt Lake City. Schnitzer was
convicted of second degree
perjury at Farmington, Utah,
last March as a result of civil
actions involving the project.
Schnitzer was free on $20,000
bail.
Eight Ships at Sea
After Union Dispute
San Francisco (U.RK-Eight
ships which were tied up in Cal
ifornia ports by the Marine
Firemen's Union in a one-week
dispute with the Pacific Mari
time Association were at sea
Saturday.
Five of the vessels sailed from
San Francisco, two from Los
Angeles and one from Port
Hueneme near Oxnard, Calif.
The union agreed shortly aft
ernoon Friday to release its
men to work ships "effective im
mediately" after arranging ne
gotiations with the PMA.
Sam Bennett, vice-president of
the union, said he agreed to the
release after William Clark,
PMA vice-president, "gave as
surances of good faith and indi
cated the PMA would enter ne
gotiations with us and let us
present our case."
The dispute arose over the
firemen's demand for parity
with AFL cooks and sailors in
the matter of vacation pay.
its backers were Reps. Hal
Holmes (R-Wash.), Don Magnu
son (D-Wash.), Sen. Guy Cordon
(R-Ore.), Magnuson and Jackson.
Sen. Wayne Morse came out
against it, explaining he would
be consistently, against all "part
nership" bills.
The John Day "partnership"
bill, on the other hand, is mired
in dispute. It has yet to attract
the support of a Democratic law
maker from the Northwest. Even
some Republicans, like Rep. Rus
sell, Mack (R-Wash.), have ques
tioned it.
Morse's stand on the admin
istration's power policy under
went its severest test of con
sistency when the municipally
owned Eugene Water and Elec
tric Board of his home town
came up with a plan for "part
nership" construction of Cou
gar dam, a relatively small proj
ect that Congress had previous
ly authorized for federal con
struction mainly for Willamette
Valley flood control purposes.
More Opposed
Quite the opposite of Magnu
son, Morse decided after long
weighing the issue to oppose it.
He followed up by successfully
blocking a House-passed Cougar
"partnership" bill which Sen.
Cordon all but got through the
Senate last year.
The nub of all this is that
every proposal for "partnership"
dam building which has run in
to tough opposition has been
stalemated in Congress, almost
entirely because of the strength
the Democrats enjoy at present
by holding all four of the Sen
ate seats that belong to Oregon
and Washington.
To put their power policy in
to practice, Republicans who
back the administration : must
defeat either . Morse or Mag
nuson, if not both, in the sena
torial elections for which both
sides are now preparing rip
snorting campaigns.
(Finally the Northwest must
decide, then unite.)
Suggests Coos Bay
Times Present DA
With Information
Coos Bay (U.R) Charles A.
Sprague, publisher of the Oregon
Statesman at Salem, Saturday
sugested that if the Coos Bay
Times has evidence of law viol
ations in Coos county it present
the information to District At
torney John Pickett in his office
at Coquille.
The former Oregon governor
said that if the district attorney
refuses or fails to act on the in
formation, the Times could start
a recall or take the material to
the circuit judge and ask him to
present it to the grand jury.
Sprague's suggestions were in
reply to a 1500-word telegram
sent by Sheldon F. Sackett, pub
lisher of the Times, to several
newspaper publishers and editors
asking for ways to force an in
vestigation into afairs of Coos
county communities.
The Times has asked Gov.
Paul Patterson to order Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton , to
conduct an investigation into
alleged law violations in the
Coos Bay area.
Sprague's reply was sent to
Sackett at San Francisco where
the West Coast publisher and
radio station operator is form
ulating plans to start Demcratic
tabloid newspapers in Portland
and the San Francisco bay area,
Pastor Survives
Exposure, Shock
-Ontario (U.R) An Ontario
church official was in serious
condition in a local hospital suf
fering from shock and exposure
after his car ' plunged over a
cliff near Drewsey, Ore.
The Rev. Pat J. Meskill was

kill's hand protruding above the
precipice, and hauled him to
safety. He was taken to a ranch
near Juntura for emergency
treatment, and brought to On
tario by ambulance Friday morn

One man who viewed the
crash scene said the Rev. Mes-
kill's automobile apparently

Peterson Predicts
'Soil Bank' Program
For Crop Controlling
Pendleton (U.R) Oregon
wheat growers heard a predic
tion Friday that a, federal "soil
bank" program will be enacted
by the next Congress. ;
Assistant Secretary of Agri
culture Ervin L. Peterson said
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture was seeking a crop con
trol plan which, would prevent
uncontrolled flow of capital into
agriculture to the extent of cre
ating surpluses.
The former Oregon agriculture
director said it was his predic
tion that Congress would pass
some sort of soil fertility bank
legislation.
Considered by Benson
The soil bank plan also has
been under consideration by Ag
riculture Secretary Ezra T.
Benson.
The plan calls for government
payments to farmers for putting
surplus crop land into grass.
Peterson also told the 28th
annual meeting of the Oregon
