SIXTEEN MEOTORD fOREGOm MAIL TRIBUTE Thursday. Jus 7. 1956 Seaton Told Support by Democrats Hinges on Type of Officer He Becomes 'ml A. Kobe femiUk O'Mahoney Asks Definition of Partnership Power Br A.. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune- Correspondent Washington Western Dem ocratic senators served notice on the new Secretary of Interior, Fred A. Seat on, this week that they will either happily support or vig orously fight him and his policies de pending what kind of cabin et officer he turns out to be. In the hearing on his nomina tion held by the Senate Interior Committee, it became clear they were seeking his views on all of the issues that had become controversial under ex-Secretary Douglas McKay. Seaton, with out a misstep, lived up to his advanced billing as "a real pol itical pro" by sidestepping every trap laid for him which might have helped Democrats draw a sharp contrast between him and McKay. But on the power issue Demo crats bore down, for Seaton had indorsed the administration's "partnership" power policy within an hour after President Eisenhower announced his ap pointment last week, jieuberger Assists Sitting across the long oak committee table from the new secretary, one of the Democrats' most able and senior senators, Joseph C. O'Mahoney (Wyo.), conducted the cross-examination, flanked by two willing junior assistants. Sens. Henry M. Jack son (D-Wash.), and Richard L. Keuberger. (D-Ore.). Noting that Seaton is rated as a liberal Republican, O'Mahon ey asked him to" "give us your definition of a liberal." Seaton i acknowledged the liberal label and said he best liked 'the Presi dent's definition of one who is : liberal in his attitude toward people but conservative in the i use of their money. - What did Seaton mean by the "partnership" power policy, O' Mahoney asked. Seaton said co operation between the govern ment and local utilities to assure ; local control. He said he would I be "very wary" of the govern-' ment dominating dam building. ' Domination Investigated j As chairman of the Senate : anti-monopoly subcommittee, O'-1 Mahoney said he had investigat- j d extensively the extent to j which many western private lit-, ilities are dominated by eastern i Investment interests instead of being locally controlled. "I've checked Idaho Power Co. to see if it could be called by any stretch of the imagina- lion a locally-owned company," O'Mahoney told Seaton. He said j he found that of the utility's ; 3.320,000 voting shares of stock, 1,115.927 were held by 10 large investment houses and insurance firms with headquarters in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. He said that of the 1. 530.000 votes cast in the last meeting of the company's stock holders at Bangor, Me., where Idaho Power is incorporated. 1, 047,000 votes were cast by these large stockholders. O'Mahoney recalled the ab ortive efforts of New York in vestment houses to force a mer ger of Puget Sound Power and Light Co. of Seattle with Wash ington Water Power Co. of Spo kane against the wishes of many local interests in Washington date. Attempt at Control "This, is all an attempt by New York Investment firms to re gain control of the water re- I source-development of this coun- Sen. George W. Norris of Neb- this water for western people will happen unless we watch out The effect of O'Mahoney s of Nebraska Republican and win of Nebraska KepuDiican ana in try." declared. O Mahoney. "That raska." and the industry of the west, for the great life work of George commentary to Seaton was: you our backing to the hilt, or you cur our eternal opposition. Take control was smashed once by "If we are going to conserve we must not let this1 happen. It W. Norris of Nebraska." can be a George W. .Norris type can be a Clarence A.
