No Change in Power Policy Indicated by President Last Week By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent "Washington Deeply dis turbed as Republican party lead ers have been with GOP losses In the Pacific Northwest in re cent elections, President Eis enhower made it plain this past week that there will be no change in the basic pow er policy of the Eisenhow er administra tion as means r w A. Kobt Smitb of winning greater public favor. About the only change in the power policy of any note since it was announced in -1953 is that officially it is no longer called the "partnership" policy. Secre tary of the Interior Fred A. Sea- tion would like to find a new name for it. When he speaks of what used to be partnership be tween the federal government and local utilities, Seaton calls them joint ventures. While the name partnership has been scrapped, President Eisenhower indicated how strongly he feels against federal power development when other agencies or interests can be found to handle the job. At his weekly news conference he was asked what government pro grams would be cut out by the administration in its effort to reduce federal spending. Hardest Problem - "If I could tell you that I would have one of my hardest problems solved, because every single department of govern ment, most of them pleading the responsibilities that have been placed upon them by law, want more money," said the chief executive. "They quote ris ing . prices, higher prices, and, of course, we know bigger budg ets contribute to still higher prices." Eisenhower then mentioned a S50 million water polution con trol program which was being cut because "I think it belongs to local government." He added You know there is a very great difference between local or state government building things, that is, a public utility system or a dam or anything else, and the federal govern ment doing it. Because as feder al government begins to run riot with the expenditures that It deems good for the country, if necessary, it can print money; it can go into debt. The state and locality can't do it. "You know, I think, for exam ple, and I am probably getting a little afield from your ques tion, but I think that we talk too simply about public power and private power. I don't see how anyone can complain about public power as long as it is lo cal. I can complain about public power when it gets all federal, .though, because any govern ment that controls all the pow er in the country can really dic tate what the economy is going to be. They can shift it and everything else. "So I believe that we have got to find many things like that and, of course, with this com mittee meeting again today in Chicago, they are making very considerable progress. (This was referring to the joint federal state action committee created after the president's speech last spring before the annual gover nors conference in behalf of turning more federal responsi bilities over to the states.) They are quite hopeful. "For instance, vocational training and a few other things of that kind, the states say, 'We ought to have them back,' and that would tend to reduce our expenses and, of course, wosjld reduce our income, because car tain income would have to go then to carry out the job." H. Meade Alcorn, Republican national chairman, in a speech at Spokane the same night said "I am deeply disturbed over the losses we have suffered as , a party in the Pacific Northwest in recent years," He said Wash ington, Oregon and Idaho . are no longer "safe" states for the GOP.

The subject will be discussed at the October membership meeting of the council. our organizational activities. We must work ever harder. And we must develop the issues and can didates that will enable us to win back the public offices we have lost," said Alcorn. The president indicated there will be no change in. the power issue, mainstay of many a Paci fic Northwest political campaign. Primary purpose of the study will be to determine those areas where the greatest hazards ex ist and to make recommenda tions for correction of the con ditions. Special emphasis will be directed in the areas where chil dren walking to and from school must use the roadways due to the lack of sidewalks. The Medford Safety council also called attention to hazard ous conditions which exist at certain intersections in the city where trees or shrubs have been allowed to grow so as to ob struct drivers vision. A list of some of the most hazardous in tersections was turned over to city officials for appropriate action.
