iattle Over Power Preference Renewed
CAUCUS CHAIRMAN Rep. Gerald R.
Ford of Michigan, center, talks with news
men after he was voted chairman of the
House GOP Caucus by a vote of 88 to 78.
Ford replaces Rep. Charles B. Hoeven of
Iowa. Ford's backers said the GOP "image"
was in need of improvement. At lower left

House Republicans Get New
Leader; Other Changes Seen
Washington - OJPI) - House
Republicans went into the
new session today with one
"new image" leader in the
saddle and the oldtimcr he un
seated warning of more po
litical bloodshed to come.
The House Republican Con
crence, a caucus of all GOP
members, Tuesday ousted 67-year-old
Rep. Charles B. Hoe
ven of Iowa as its chairman.
It gave the job to 40-year-old
Kep. Gerald R. Ford of Michi
gan, a House member since
1949.
The vole was 88-78. Two
members voted present and 10
of the 178 House Republicans
were absent.
Hocven's downfall after six
years as conference chairman
and 20 years in the House
came suddenly and for rca
sons subject to widely differ
ing explanations.
Deny Revolt
The relatively junior Re-
publicans who engineered it
said the change was made to
put "a little bit more aggres
sive, dynamic leadership" in
the GOP. They insisted it was
an attempt to strengthen,
rather than undercut, House
GOP Leader Charles A. Hal
leck of Indiana and Whip Les
lie Arcnds of Illinois.
Hoeven said it was a lot
more than that.
"I was picked as the lamb
for the slaughter," he told
newsmen. "This should serve
as notice to Mr. Arcnds and

Forestry Board
To Ask Fund for
Fire Protection
Portland - Writ - The Stale
Board of Forestry will ask the
1963 legislature for about
$750,000 for fire protection on
privately-owned lands in Ore

Phipps told the Oregon and
California Grant Lands Advis
ory Board here Tuesday.
Phipps said the bill author
izing the money will be intro
duced later this month. It
would provide slate protec
tion in recognition of the ben
efits the stale and the public
derive from private forests.
In the past, the landowners
have paid the bill for forest
fire protection.
Critical Areas Mappod
Phipps said limber knocked
down by the Columbus Day
windstorm could contribute
to catastrophic fires this sum
mer unless all forests in the
slate are protected. He said
(he State Departmenl of For
estry has mapped the critical
areas where protection is
most needed.
He said the maps also will
be used to determine where
public entry will be limited

Move To Prevent
Siphoning Power
Out of Northwest
Washington -WPH- Washing
ton members of Congress
fired their first shot today in
a renewed battle to prevent
needed electric power from
being siphoned out of the Pa
cific Northwest.
Rep. Julia Butler Hansen
KD-Wash.) introduced revised
legislation to guarantee the
Pacific Northwest first call on
firm power produced at fed
eral hydroelectric plants on
the Columbia river.
Mrs. Hansen was joined by
a Republican colleague, Rep.
Jack Westland, also of Wash
ington, in sponsoring North
west power preference legisla
tion. The bill, Introduced shortly
after Congress convened, dif
fered only slightly from legis
lation offered in the last Con
gress. It is designed to pave
the way for a power intertie
that would carry power from
Columbia , river dams as far
south as Los Angeles.
Mrs. Hansen and Westland
said the measure was intend
ed to protect firm power be
ing delivered to Pacific North
west industries by the Bonne
ville Power Administration.
Under present law, public
power agencies in California
would have priority over pri
vate industry to firm power
in the BPA system if it could
be delivered to California.
Mrs. Hansen said the legis
lation would be among the
most vital issues to come up
in the new Congress from the
viewpoint of the Pacific
Northwest.
She noted that California
Democrats, with one excep
tion, had supported legislation
designed to allay fears that
Northwest industry would be
deprived of needed firm
power.
"We trust that we will
again have the support of oth
er westerners," Mrs. Hansen
said.
The new bill differed only
slightly from the earlier ver
sion. It would apply only to
hydroelectric power and also
would provide for 30-day no
tice by the BPA to its custom
ers when surplus power is to
be sold outside the area.
Sponsorship of the bill by
Westland marked an attempt
to overcome opposition by
some California Republicans.
Last year the bill was spon
sored by Mrs. Hansen and
Rep. Gracie Pfost, an Idaho
Democrat who lost in a bid
for a Senate scat.
Intertie Inevitable
Westland said it was "in
evitable" that a power inter
tie would be built between
the Northwest and California,
whether by the federal gov
ernment or by private enter
prise.
If it is built wc vc got to
find some way of protecting
industry which has made big
investments in the Pacific
Northwest," he said.
The Washington Republi
can said he had talked with
some Californians. He ex
pressed belief that opposition
from that state would be less
ened this time.
' Interior Secretary Stewart
L. Udall already has announc
ed that he will seek funds
from Congress to begin con
struction of an cxtra-bigh-voltagc
direct current inter
tie from the Columbia river
to California.

through the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Jennings is one of three
Democrats who arc competing
for two vacant Democratic
seats on the powerful commit
tee. The new assignments - to
be decided by House Demo
crats at a caucus later this
month - could determine the
fate of Kennedy's medicare
program in the 88th Congress.
Medicare sponsors were un
able to line up enough votes
to squeeze even a skeletonized
version through the commit
tee in the last Congress.
BOUND OVER
Warren James Davis, 86
Vashti Way, Medford, was
bound over to the grand jury
after appearing in Jackson
county district court yester
day on charges of contributing
to the delinquency of a minor.
He waived right to an attor
ney and posted $500 bail.
Kennedy aides believe it is
almost essential that the two
new committee Democrats be
supporters of the controver
sial program if it is to be en
acted by this Congress.
"I generally favor some
kind of medicare for the
aged," Jennings said in an
interview. He said that if such
a program is enacted, he
would favor financing it
through new Social Security
taxes.
Although Jennings empha
sized that he would not neces
sarily support other features
of the President's proposal,
his statement aligned him
closer to Kennedy's approach
than the public position taken
previously by the two other
candidates for the committee
posts.
Rep. Ross Bass (D-Tenn.)
has confined himself to say
ing that he feels there is an
unfilled need in this area.
However, Democratic liberals
and labor union lobbyists are
fairly confident he would line
up with the administration on
a showdown vote.
The third candidate, Rep.
Phil Landrum (D-Ga.) has
given no indication whether
he would support or oppose
new legislation in this field.
For this reason, Democratic
liberals and labor lobbyists
have feared that Landrum, as
a member of the Ways and
Means Committee, might join
in blocking action on medicare.

Meredith Jeered
By Students at
School Cafeteria
Oxford, MLss.-WPIl - Negro
student James H. Meredith
was greeted with jeers and
catcalls for the second succes
sive night at the University
of Mississippi cafeteria Tues
day night.
About 25 of 100 students
walked out after the 29-year-old
Air Force veteran arrived
at the cafeteria, focal point
of rowdy demonstrations
against Meredith last fall un
til the university threatened
stern disciplinary action.
"Ignore the nigger with
vigor," the departing students
shouted. Most of the remain
ing students applauded them.
A similar demonstration was
staged by about 80 students
when Meredith entered the
cafeteria Monday night.
Statement Seen Cause
Rcvivial of the demonstra
tions apparently was caused
by Meredith's announcement
Monday that he could not re
main at "Olc Miss" under the
present circumstances. Mere
dith said he would not regis
ter for the second semester
beginning Feb. 2 unless "def
inite and positive changes arc
made." Final examinations
for the current term begin
Jan. 18.
A federal grand jury be
gan closed door hearings
Tuesday on charges against
11 persons. Including former
Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker, ar
rested in connection with the
bloody rioting that accompa
nied Meredith's admission to
"Olc Miss" lust Sept. 30. The
IB-member panel is deciding
whether to return indictments
in the cases.
