MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON More Water, Power Land Use Projects Due for Congress MONDAY. JUNE XI. X962 By Congressional Quarterly Washington - (CQ) - More and beter resource develop ment or a bigger pork bar rel? That is the question that Congress must decide as a re sult of the new standards for planning water resource proj ects approved by the Presi dent and announced by the White House on May 15. Experts estimate that there will be about a 10 per cent increase in proposals to build water, power and land-use projects submitted to Con gress annually in the wake of the new planning stand ards. They also anticipate that better balanced projects with multiple-purpose bene fits will be proposed to Con gress under the new stand ards. Congress presently receives annually from the agencies about 185 project reports rec ommending construction of new resource projects. These are mainly water-shed proj ects of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, flood control and navigation projects of the Corps of Army Engineers, and reclamation projects of the Interior Department. Mew Standards Asked At the direction of Presi dent Kennedy, the new stan dards were worked out by a group representing the Secre taries of Interior, Agricul ture, the Army, and Health, Education and Welfare. The new standards supersede the highly controversial Budget Bureau Circular A-47 issued on Dec. 31, 1952. Both the new 1962 stand ards and A-47 are attempts to get the various federal agencies operating in the re sources field to use uniform standards in appraising bene fits and costs of water re sources projects under their Jurisdiction. Congress repeatedly clash ed with the Budget Bureau over A-47. The Congressional gripe was that A-47 was so restrictive that it foreclosed approval of many resources project proposals, notably public power and reclamation projects. Congress ignored A-47 in recent years. The fate of the 1962 stan dards is as yet undecided. There has been little Con gressional reaction to date. While water and public pow er lobbies generally favor the new standards in comparison with A-47, they are taking a wait-and-see attitude toward the new standards.

V Dlvrd. a This is due to the fact that while the new standards lay down ground-rules to deter mine benefits and costs of re source projects, they do not cover such vital problems as cost allocation, reimburse ment to the government and cost-sharing with state and lo cal interests. The President has asked the four Departmental Secre taries to tackle these prob lems directly. Achieving uni formity in project repayment and cost allocation almost cer tainly will require Congress ional action and will sure ly stir up Congressional tem pers. Public Power Upgraded Both the 1862 standards and A-47 provide that proj ects may be built by the fed eral government for the fol lowing purposes: domestic, municipal or Industrial water supply; irrigation; water qual ity or pollution control; navi gation; hydroelectric power and energy; flood control and prevention; land and beach stabilization; drainage; out door recreation; and fish and wildlife development. Under both standards, a project is justified if the es timated benefits exceed the estimated costs. But they are evaluated quite differently. For example, recreation, fish and wildlife development and public power are sharply up graded as project purposes in the 1962 standards. Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall on May 28 called the new set of standards "one of the most important steps" tak en by the Administration to date m the resources field. The National Wildlife Feder ation on May 25 hailed "the new importance given to rec reation and fish and wildlife development" in the new stan Senate Document Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.) on May 17 asked the Senate to publish the new standards as a Senate docu ment. It did. Anderson called the new standards a "sound" means by which "to devise. authorize and execute trie large programs that are ur gently needed to match water supply to the water require ments of our rapidly grow ing population and expand- ine economy." But there are critics of the new standards who regard them as being so broad as to be nearly meaningless. Rep. John H. Kyi (R-Iowa) on May 22 questioned whether "there will ever be an unfavorable cost-benefit ratio for a proj ect" under the new standards. That's whv Sen. trariK J. Lausche (D-Ohio), Barry Gold water (R-Ariz.), and Norris Cotton (R-N.H.) fought the shelving of A-47. Lausche pre dicted the agencies would pre sent "fantastic and extrava gant" proposals, ana ooia water warned that the agen cies would send "cats and dogs" to Congress in place oi feasible projects. L-ouon m the demise of A-47 would "open the gates for more un economic public power proj ects and for an ever-larger and more spacious pork-barrel." , Copyright 1962, Congressional Quarterly Inc. t , ,A . , mm&r V: , inrrir 11 Mm i ww J,A By DICK WEST Washington - Oil - For some reason, the Democratic senatorial contest in Massa chusetts this year has been a source of con siderable amuse ment here in the na tion's capital. I have endeav ored to ascer tain the cause of the merri- ment, dui it has eluded me. Apparently, it h a s some thing to do with the fact that RELIEF DISCUSSED President Kennedy and Mrs. Claire L. Chennault, widow of the leader of the famed Fyling Tigers, are shown during a White House meeting at which they talked about creation of a new organization to provide relief to refugees fleeing from Red China.

S. 40, near Vaca ville, Calif. Present from Medford were four planes and 17 Rotarians including pilots Dr. Dwaine Nelson, Fred Lewis, Frank Lambrecht and Bob Kline. Some 111 planeloads of Ro tarians participated in the luncheon meeting, which fea tured William T. Piper Sr., president of Piper Aircraft corporation. The guests completed their journey by rail, riding a Sier ra mine gauge railroad from the airstrip to the restaurant. The "fly-in," sponsored by the Vacaville Rotary club, has attracted nationwide attention and was featured last year in the Saturday Evening Post. one of the candidates, Ted Kennedy, is the brother of the President while the other, Ed McCormack, is the nephew of Speaker John McCormack. Frankly, I don't see any thing very humorous about that. Most people have rela tives, for politicians the more the better. It could happen to anyone. But if all of the "Ted & Ed" jokes spawned during the campaign were laid end to end, they would reach from Pat to Mike. No lest a personage than Sen. Edmund S. Muskie took note of the levity in the situation when he ad dressed the Massachusetts Democratic convention at Springfield Thursday night. In his home state of Maine, Muskie said, "we Democrats used to wonder whether we could find enough candidates to match' the job opportuni ties available." "I understand that you have a somewhat different problem," he added. "It will be up to the con vention to choose between Ted and Ed," and Muskie made it plain that he didn't envy the delegates that task. U. S. Nuclear Device Detonated in Pacific Washington -HIPP- The Unit ed States detonated a nuclear device that set off a force equal to several million tons of TNT over the Christmas island test zone Sunday. The Atomic Energy Com mission said the shot, the 17th announced in the series, was dropped from an airplane. The AEC said It was in the "low megaton" range, making It one of the largest tested In this series. In view of the intensity of the contest, he said he was "glad to be representing the United States Senate rather than the White House or the House of Representatives." At the moment, he explain ed, the Senate could be con sidered "neutral ground," which took him off the spot. "I am relieved that Lyn don Johnson has no rela tives running in Massachu setts," he commented. Muskie went on to recall that some 65 years ago "the chief justice of the Supreme Court, the speaker of the House and the president pro tern of the Senate were all downeast Yankees" from Maine. "It is obvious that Mass achusetts is doing its best to match that record," he said. He also noted that either Ted or Ed would be running against a Republican candi date in the general election. "Indeed, it is apparent that no matter whom you choose for your senatorial nominee, the campaign this fall will be a contest between the dynasty and the dinosaurs," he said. 1 thought, however, that Muskie best summed up the HAWAII Only $23267 ROUND TRIP AIR TICKET from PORTLAND GO ANY DAY BIG BOEING 707 JETS 15-DAY EXCURSION FARE MAKE RESERVATIONS TODAY See George Lewis ROGUE TRAVEL SERVICE We Reserve and Sell Airline and Steamship Tickets 1 1 1 East 8th St. Ph. 772-6779 situation with the observation that Massachusetts Democrats seemed to be "joking mora now but enjoying it less.
