Hatfield Seeks Interstate Swap Of Power Study Eugene-(DPU-Gov. Mark Hat field has disclosed a possible iriter-tie between Oregon and Calif ornfa whereby the two states might exchange electric power. Hatfield told a meeting of the Oregon Newspaper Pub lishers association Friday night that he called together some 40 private and public power interests Thursday to determine whether the indi vidual firms and organizations would back a fact-finding study on the subject. "The unanimous concensus of both ground groups," Hat field said, "was that we should proceed to establish a fact finding committee on which to base future action." The governor said he plan ned to contact Gov. Edward G. Brown of California in repard to the wishes of the public power group and also Gov. Albert. Rossellini of Washington. Brown and Ros sellini are Democrats, while Hatfield is a Republican. Hatfield said an inter-tie might mean "we would attract California's more enthusiastic backing for federal projects in the Northwest." Alternatives Are Aired at Hearing SalenWUPD-An increase in automobile license fees and a bond issue as alternatives to a one-cent per gallon gasoline tax boost were suggested Thursday night at a hearing of the House Highways com mittee. . Rep. Fred Meek (R-Port-land) suggested the license plate fee hike as an alterna tive. Howard Merriam Eugene, former state representative, said a S5 plate fee would make the least disturbance in the automotive tax structure and that it would amount to about the same cost to motorists driving 9000 miles a year. Strongly Against Meek said his constituents were strongly against a gas oline tax increase. Sid King of the Oregon State Motor association said he favored a bond issue ver a gasoline tax if possible be cause a large part of a gas oline tax would go to cities and counties instead of to the federal highway system. S20 Million . Highway, engineer W. C. Williams said the one-cent gas oline tax would bring in about 20 million dollars in the next five years, to be matched by 70 million dollars from the federal government. Without the 20 million, he said, the 70 million ultimately would revert to the federal fund and be allocated to other states. Williams indicated no money would be lost if the one-cent boost were put off until the 1961 session but that the state would lose about 18 months in construction time.
