No Change in Power
Policy Indicated by
President Last Week

"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

Safety Problem Study Scheduled by MSC
A plan to study the safety
problems involved in areas of
the city where pedistrians must
use roadways was tabled until
Friday at a meeting of the board
of directors of the Medford Safe
ty council last week.
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.
