Northwest Senators Go Down the Line
Friday, February 10, 1958
Bn Opposition To
Has i
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The sharply con
tested natural gas bill was
passed by the Senate over down-the-line
opposition from the four
senators of the
Pacific North
west, where
natural gas
will become
available' to
many house
holders within
another year
or more.
The senators
A. Robt. Smith I r o m uregun
and Washington voted with a
minority group that tried vainly
to defeat the bill on grounds
that it. would result in higher
gas rates for consumers in the
Northwest when the new fuel
arrives from the Southwest.
They Sens. Magnuson and
Jackson of Washington and
Morse and Neuberger of Oregon
also tried without success to
amend the bill , on the Senate
floor in various ways, designed
to offer protection to consum
ers. The bill itself, passed by the
House last summer and approved
by the Senate after three weeks
of debate, was unchanged from
v'the version that came out of
Magnuson's committee, Senate
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce. Magnuson opposed it in
'committee but accomodated its
sponsors by clearing the way for
early hearings on the measure
last year. '
Opposed Floor Move
Magnuson split off from his
three Northwest colleagues in
only one maneuver the first
floor move aimed at killing the
bill through a motion to send it
back to his committee. Washing
ton's senior senator opposed
this, but Morse, Neuberger and
. Jackson favored it. The move
failed by a 30-64 vote.
All four were united in voting
.against final passage of the bill,
which was passed 53-38.
Here are the amendments that
senators tried to make in the
gas bill:
1. Douglas (D-ni.) sought to
place the approximately 200
large producers of natural gas
under regulation by the Federal
Power Commission, while allow
ing the smaller companies to be
exempted from regulation., A
large firm would have been one
selling more than 2,000,000,000
cubic feet of fuel annually.
Would Meet Criticism
The senator said this would
meet the criticism of those who
claimed federal regulation would
place an intolerable burden of
rate cases upon the FPC. It was
voted down, 35-58, with all four
Northwesterners supporting it.
2. Potter (R-Mich.) tried to
change the criteria for establish
ing gas utility prices by requir
ing the FPC to set a "fair and
equitable price" rather than a
"reasonable market price," as
the bill calls for.
Because the normal rules of
business competition don't ap
ply in the gas utility industry,
Potter argued that gas prices at
the wellhead would be figured
on the basis of "all the market
can bear" under the criteria
cited in the bill. Potter's amend
ment was defeated, 33-59. The
region's four senators voted for
it.
3. Pastore (D-R.I.) aimed at
something of the same sort in a
different way. He tried to add
one factor to the criteria on
which the FPC would 'regulate
gas rates that it take into ac
count "the protection of the in
terest of the consumer."
Consumer Not Mentioned .
He said that while sponsors of
the gas bill mentioned the con
sumer and his interests in their
arguments for the bill, the con-

Editor's Note: During the 30
years Jimmy Hatlo has -been
drawing "They'll Do It Every
Time," he has been deluged by
readers with examples of man's
inhumanity to man, which makes
him, whether he likes it or not,
an authority on the subject. With
a top of the Hatlo hat to his con
tributors," the artist and author
has drawn on this rich back
ground for this series of six ar

annoy the most people from
coast to coast.
By JIMMY HATLO
Most of us, I think, have at
one time or another wished to
be the last man on earth. This
macabre desire is a transient
thing, and it usually comes on
following overexposure to the
human species. Or a certain type
of the species the Sheep.
As you might expect, Wbolfat
Q. Huddleup and his kind are
usually found in groups. Woolfat
seems incapable of individual ac
tion. If he should need to buy,
say, a tie, he can't go to a store
like anyone else and buy it. No.
He's got to round up a posse to
help him. It's as though he and
his fellow sheep were afraid to
go out alone. ',
This. in itself is not necessarily
a nuisance. The trouble comes
because Huddleup becomes un
easy about such others who
don't seem interested in herding
up. It bothers him and he makes
a pest of himself. Nc--? I couldn't
be less interested in his shopping
problems. I don't care if he never
gets a tie. And if he does get one,

sumer had not been mentioned at
all in the bill itself which would
become the law. This amend
ment drew the most support of j
all but was defeated, 40-53.
Morse, Magnuson, Neuberger
and Jackson all voted for it.
4. Humphrey (D-Minn.) tried
to kill language in the bill that
allows spiral increases in rates.
He said the bill would permit
the pipeline company to increase
its charges if the producer raised
his rates; and the distributing

'Ng Power Issue
Pyle Tells Crowd
Vancouve, Wash. (U.R)
Presidential Assistant Howard
Pyle last night told Clark coun
ty Republicans here that there
is "no power issue in the North
west." -
Pyle spoke before a Lincoln
Day dinner audience that ' was
described as the largest political
gathering ever held in Clark
county. Some 700 persons at
tended to hear the former gov
ernor of Arizona.
He said v the Republican ap
proach to the power problem
was the only approach there is.
Adequate . power' can be pro
duced, he said, only by coopera
tion between federal, state, local
and private interests.
He recalled that in the past
10 years the federal government
has provided only about half the
$300,000,000 needed annually to
keep up with the regional de
mand. Pyle said he was amazed at
the enthusiasm he encountered
among Republicans for the 1956
campaign. He said never before
had there been so many requests
for Lincoln Day speakers around
the country.
1956, King Feature Syndicate. Int.
THE SHEEP, is everywhere, crowding and pushing up close.
I hop"e it's made of rope.
Clings to Lapel '
I know old Woolfat; he's the
guy who, with a whole trainload
of empty seats to choose from,
plumps himself down right in
back of me and 'sprays my head
with his cold germs. He's the guy
who comes into an all-but-empty
drug store and takes the next
stool so he can put his elbow in
my coffee. He's the guy who
clings to my lapel like it was a
life-raft when he talks to me. He
crowds up so close I can see his
tonsils wiggle. And his breath is
always like a breeze off an ex
posed tidal flat. .
I don't know whaf s the mat
ter with this creep. Maybe his
mother didn't love him. Know
ing him, that's easy to under
stand. I'm on Mama's side. -
But he's everywhere, crowd
ing, pushing up close. Know
when and where Huddlecup is
happiest? Five o'clock in the
Times Square subway station.
That's the daily sheep rally and
he feels secure at last every
body's in the herd.
Greatest Menace on Road -
Huddleup and his pals reach
their greatest menace on the
roads. How they love to creep up
and snuggle their front bumper
against your back one. Or come
along side and cozily rub fenders.
Boy! Of course this is the one
area where the compulsion for
togetherness can pay deadly divi
dends. You've seen the results
many times sheeted bodies and
twisted metal. Trouble is, even
here they involve us. I don't
mind if Huddleup wants to go.
But I don't want to go with him.
, As I said in . the beginning,
after a day with Woolfat and his
kind, the thought of being the
last man in the world is like a
beautiful dream. But I'm afraid
I know what would happen.
There'd be a knock on the
door. Trembling with terror I'd
go and open it. What would be
there? Right. Huddleup. Along
with the rest of his friends.
