PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, ORECON POWER POLICY OUTLINED CHAMBER ACT Klamath chamber of com merce directors went on record today against a section of a pro posed United States chamber de claration tnat favors saie 01 government-produced power only at the point of production. The directors, on a split vote, favored striking one sentence from a declaration which was otherwise approved. The ap proved portions favor use of government-produced power in re gional power pools for the great est general benefit. In the discussion, It was ar gued that the proposed declar- ation would be favorable to areas near the government pow er dams, and unfavorable to areas farther removed I r o m them. While those speaking for striking the sentence said they are not against private power distribution, they are concerned about a policy which would pro hibit government distribution lines and might therefore pre vent distribution of the govern ment-produced power over wide areas. The approved portions of the declaration favor use Of govern-ment-Droduced power in region' al power pools for the greatest general benefit. The chamber directors also have approved, in general, the United States chamber policy advocating legislative policies re specting development ana use of water resources affording full opportunity to private enter prise to participate in such de velopment and to purchase, use or re-sell products, goods and services, including power, that results from water use and con trol projects developed by the government. Lars Carlson, representing the committee for economic develop ment, addressed the directors and announced the appointment of Wallace Bruce as Klamath chairman for that committee. . Carlson explained his organ ization is promoting a private enterprise program to meet the economic problems that will burst on the nation at the close of the war. He declared the great war debt can be liquidated if America maintains high pro duction and distribution in the post-war period.. He painted a . v rosy picture of economic devel opment in the northwest. Portland Shipyards Best In Nation, Says Adm. Vickery ' PORTLAND, June 21 (IP) Sear Admiral Howard L.
