The policy of lhe bureau, however, is to consult with the individual citv regarding administration of the Neuberger Voices Dam Objections -Portland fU Pi Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said here Friday he has the same funda mental objections to construction of John Dyy dam by a Washing ton public utilities district as he does to partnership financing by a combine of private utility firms. Neuberger said he still favored exclusive federal financing and - " ,,,CI5,I,H icatures. He said "the federal government c;m borrow money at cheappr ralrs of intcrest ,han either a PUD or a private power company." He added. "Federal Dower can be pooled as to rates with the ! extremely cheap Grand Coulee j and Bonneville juice. This rate-: reducing factor would be denied 1 to partnership energy, whether the partner happens to be a PUD or private utility." Reports from Washington have indicated the Eisenhower admin istration may be considering con struction of John Day on the Columbia in partnership with the Klickitat county PUD. The Pacific Northwest Power com pany has offered to finance the dam with construction accom-! plished by the federal govern- ment.

Furry said. An attempt to bring the de partment up to full strength is being made, but few have shown interest in the job because of holiday activities, he said. According to Furry, the only I Qualification required of an able-bodied volunteer is that he live within the city limits of Phoenix in order to validate the i blanket insurance policy cover- ing the men.
