Region Utilities Advised to Unite En New Projects Portland-JUPD - Bonneville Power Administrator Charles Luce said today Pacific North west utilities should coordi rate their plans for new pow er projects to help keep rates down. Luce said there" was a need to avoid excesses and deficits of power that would interfere with orderly growth of the region. "A coordinated plan to de velop these'- resources one which would avoid surpluses and shortages would contrib ute greatly toward maintain ing the lowest possible BPA rates of the consumer and the growth of the region," he said. In commenting on BPA's advance ' program to meet needs through 1973, released today, Luce said the proposed lntcrtie with the Southwest would help balance loads by providing an outlet for tem porary surpluses. The advance program said eight million kilowatts of new capacity would be needed to meet area load growth in the next 10 years. Luce said the Northwest had made progress in the past few years in coordinating op eration of dams and "now must apply the same principle to construction." He said that with construc tion of i steam plant it Kan- ford assured the region will avert a serious shortage in late 1965. In 1967 power from John Day and Lower Monu mental dams will come on the line. The advance BPA program said some public agencies were planning projects that will begin to produce power about the time John Day and Lower Monumental dams will add 1.73 million kilowatts of capacity. He said the surplus of power would become even larger if Canada ratifies the treaty to develop the upper Columbia River. Even Wast Costly "The region's economy pays for the cost of power," the advance program said, "and it pays whether is used or wast ed." v The program said "if the region It to keep its power costs at the lowest possible level, priority in scheduling should be given to the lower cost federal multipurpose projects." It said that in 1963 a firm power surplus of 8.6 billion kilowatt hours will exist in the Northwest. This will dis appear in 196S-66 but reap pear in 1967-68, the report said.

Keith Mann. 38. associate dean of the Stanford Univer sity Law School, was named as the neutral member of the arbitration board Sunday by Kennedy. The railroad and union have not announced their representatives for the panel. The five issues remaining are: 1. Details of job retrain ing for clerks; 2. A formula which the company could re duce the work force in time of economic distress; 3. The time the railroad would be given to re-hire employees laid off because of "acts of God," such as floods or earth quakes; 4. Money to be paid by the railroad to employees transferred from regular work areas, and 5. Means by which' workers, who receive job retraining and still fail to qualify, can be rehabili tated. Natural Attrition Terms of Saturday's pri mary agreement provide that jobs within the union's juris diction could be eliminated only by natural attrition death, retirementresignation, promotion or discharge for cause. Federal Mediator Frank O'Neill, who had conducted the negotiations since union members threatened to walk off their jobs on Feb. 6, said the company was given "attri tion credit." This gives SP the choice of either doing away with the job, filling the position with a man whose job it considers obsolete, or put ting another employee in any other job it wishes filled.

Log Haulers Have New Load Height Salem Log truck haulers were granted another foot of payload space as a result of action recently by the state highway commission. The commission amended a resolution which previously had forbidden log trucks to haul loads higher than 12 feet, 6 inches. The new ruling now allows haulers to load their logs to a height of 13 feet, 6 inches, the same height limitation as on other vehicles. State Highway Engineer Forrest Cooper recommended the permit change. He pointed out the lack of accidents tn loss of loads and the im provements in hauling equip ment and the better methods of securing loads in recent years. The new height will apply to all log trucks, providing the bunks on which the logs are carried are equipped with stakes. Except on a few highways where the higher loads are prohibited because of low structures, all vehicles will now be permitted to haul loads having a maximum height of 13 feet 6 inches, with the exception of vehicles transporting lumber. Oregon law presently prohibits lum ber trucks from going beyond a height of 12 feet, 6 inches.
