    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.

"Dear Mark:
"I want to thank you for
your nice letter. I enjoyed

There are many legends 'jout

see them.

pants, and have long white
beards.
"They do not have horses.
I have never been able to de

are most friendly and their
message Is that all the peo

In peace and friendship.
"Since you are interested
in the Irish, I want to wish
you a happy St. Patrick's
Day. With every gooj wish
to you and your brothers,

Dead-Pan Comic
Greatly Improved
Canoga Park, Calif. - (Urn -
Buster Kcaton, 66, famed for
his dead-pan comedy, was re
ported greatly improved to
day In West Hills Doctors'
hospital where he was taken
Sunday for observation.
The comedian was original
ly thought to be suffering
from pneumonia, but doctors
said an examination showed
he had only a minor chest
congestion. Attendants said
Keaton probably would be re
leased Tuesday.
almost complete protection
against dismissal as a result
of automation.
The second document was
an agreement, as requested
last week by President Ken
nedy, to settle the five re
maining issues by binding
arbitration.
Neutral Mmbr
J. 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.
Performers to Testify on Rating

Johnny Carson, host of

House Commerce Special In

Later, representatives of A.
C. Nielson Co., the largest of

Georgia-Pacific
Tells Output Plans
Portland - (UPD - Georgia
Pacific Corp. announced Sun
days it would bring its To
ledo, Ore., pulp mill to an out
put of 600 tons a day within a
year.
A spokesman said modifica
tions of the mill machines
will permit 200 tons a day
more output than the current
600 tons. Most of it will be
containerboard.
Work is scheduled to begin
in April.
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.
