Permit for Project on Mc
W
ould Revoke
enzie River
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Oregon's Sens
Richard L. Neuberger and
Wayne Morse Monday jointly
introduced a bill designed to
revoke a license issued by the
Federal Power Commission oi
Eugene Water and Electric
Board for its proposed Beaver
Marsh project on the scenic up
per McKenzie river.
Both senators contended that
the 30,000 KW hydroelectric
project would not justify the
damage . claimed would be in
flicted on the natural wilder-
ness beauty of the upper Mc
Kenzie area. -
The FPC granted a 50-year lie-
Oense to Eugene late last fall
after rejecting protests filed
by the Save-the-McKenzie River
Association. Neuberger and Sec
retary of Interior Douglas Mc
Kay also registered their opposi
tion to granting the license, but
the Interior Department itself
did not oppose it.
Against Exploitation o
"Every generation of Ameri
cans must decide whether ex
ploitation of a natural resource
is more advisable then preser
vation of that resource," Neu
berger told th Senate Monday.
As We Live
By ELIZABETH HUtLOCK. PH.D.
Insist That Your Husband
Assume Responsibilities
The only way every member
of a family can get his or her
share of-the family income is
by a carefully worked out bud
get that is fair to all.
(Q) "My husband makes good
money but we are hopelessly in
debt. I am trying the best I can
to keep our
budget down
by buying only
the food we
must have and
by patching
my old clothes.
I have two
little children
and I make
clothes for
them from my
Dr. Hurlock
husband's old shirts and pajama
lops. But they have no warm
clothes so they cannot go out
doors lo play. The other day,
my husband went out and
bought a new suit, blazer, and
pants for himself. The payments
are due on our car, but he still
drives around in it on gas he
gets on his credit card. He is
out every night while I sit at
home all alone, as the children
go to bed early. The other night,
I suggested' I wanted to work
to help him out like I did before
the children came. He said if
I wanted to go to work, I could
pack and not bother to come
back. I am desperate and don'l
inow where to turn for help."
" T.C.
(A) First of all, insist that
your husband trork out with you
a budget that will give you
enough money to buy the clothes
you and your children need. You
must also allow enough for the
right kind of food for growing
children.
Then, set aside enough to
meet the payments on the car
and the cost of its upkeep. If
your husband's income is not
sufficient for this, insist that he
sell the car. Unless he meets his
payments, what he has put into
the car is taken from him for
nonpayment of installments.
Other Woman Suspected
It sounds very much to me as
if your husband were using the
money he should be spending
for you and the children on
another woman. Otherwise, why
would he be out every night,
driving a car, and buying clothes
for himself whei? his family is
improperly clothed.
If he refuses to budget his
income fairly, take the matter
to a domestic relations court,
and let the judge settle the prob
lem for you. With young chil
dren to take care of, you should
not go to work when your hus
band is capable of supporting
you properly. See . that he as
sumes this responsibility.
(COPYRIGHT 1956,
GENERAL FEATURES CORP.).
''Sometimes we decide that rec
reation must give way to com
mercial exploitation. But at
Beaver Marsh on the upper Mc
Kenzie I believe every logical
argument dictates the protection
of scenery and recreation, and
definitely against exploitation.
In this crowded and turbulent
age, we have all too few realms
where mankind can escape from
the turmoil of civilization."
Government officials, advised
of the Neuberger-Morse bill, said
they knew of no precedent for
the action the senators propose.
Congress, however, clearly has
the power to override the FPC,
which it established. But it never
has done so, so far as FPC of
ficials can recall.
Instance Recalled
An FPC attorney said he re
called an instance in which a
bill was introduced similar to
the anti-Beaver March measure
aimed at revoking the license
for a New England power pro
ject, but Congress failed to en
act the bill.
On other occasions Congress
has rescinded the authority of
the FPC to issue licenses on
specific rivers, but this occured
before any licenses were issued.
How far along the Neuberger
Morse bill may go through con
gressional channels remains to
be seen, but several favorable
conditions exist to match the
unfavorable. First, the bill will
probably be sent to the Senate
Public Works Committees, of
which Neuberger is a member
and where he could consequent
ly have greater leverage in get
taing it approved. Second, with
Democrats in control of both
houses, the two Democratic sen
ators may be able to gain speedy
action on the bill if they push
it.

Self Classifying
Ball Mill Discussed
Home construction of a self
classifying ball mill was among
subjects discussed at a meeting
of the Northwestern Mining
council recently.
A ball mill with a one ton per
hour capacity being built by J.
H. Lemley from scrap metals at
an expected cost of $200 was
described. .
M. A. Puckett, Crescent City,
Calif., reported on core drilling
as a guide to mining methods,
and George Maxwell spoke on
basilic formations in the local
area.
Other subjects discussed by
the group included a course in
basic chemistry and geology;
discovery of additional deposits
of Uranium bearing xarnotite
ore in Lake county; formation of
a mining organization in Cave
Junction, and preparation of a
mineral display at the Southern
Oregon Historical society mu
seum in Jacksonville.

"It is well for us to remember
the lesson which Switzerland
learned long ago. That little
nation in the Alps realized that
such resources as magnificent
vistas and wildlife, left untram
melled by commercialization,
could gain far more for Switzer
land financially than any amount
of exploitation or destruction
of those resources. The Swiss
have been able to develop nec
essary hydro-electric power with
out abandoning this priority. In
the long run, Oregon communi
ties will suffer adversely, if we
sacrifice the McKenzie's tourist
trade assets."
Neuberger took a crack at
the Eugene Water and Electric
Board itself for opposing gov
erment construction of the high
Hells Canyon dam, which would
provide power without "peril to
wildlife and scenery" while pro
posing the Beaver Marsh project
which he said "would shut off
and on, like a spigot, the ma
jestic Koosah and Sahalia waterfalls."
