About 144 persons Including a number from Klamath county, jammed Into the grange hall for dinner and the debate. It was on the whole a conservative group and consequently Steen was on much firmer ground with the audience. Exempted It so happens that most of Lake and all of Klamath counties are spe cifically exempted from the area of the CVA proposal. Most of Ore gon. Washington and Idaho and les ser portions of Montana, Utah. Wy oming and Nevada are considered In the Columbia watershed. Specifically the CVA proposal Is to put a three-man appointive board at the head of an agency control lingor at least planning the de velopment of the land and water resources of the valley, in the man ner of the Tennessee Valley author ity established on the Tennessee river.

Private Firms Private power companies can de velop the hydroelectric resources of the Pacific Northwest and pay taxes at the same time to support local government. As the CVA bin is written, the three directors could grasp author ity over every phase of farm life proposal, the split on opinion of it runs toward party lines, democratic and republican. Here Is the gist oi what tne speakers had to say: Pearson Three agencies (army engineers, bureau of reclamation and Bonneville power administra tion) now control the resources long the Columbia and S3 agencies, all working toward their own ends. depending on tax money and often conflicting. The federal government has tne Job of preserving the Northwest s resources and CVA, by coorainatea planning and removing the conflict of the multitude of agencies, can best do the Job. The federal government is not get ting its money's worth In the dupli cation of work and split responsibility. Under President The three-man board of directors would be powerful but would be subject to presidential and congres sional control against unwarranted assumption of power. The direction of all the resources preservation would be taken out of Washington ID. C.) and put out here. " CVA la limited to manufacture and wholesale delivery of hydroelee trie power and there is no basis for the private power vs. public power fight (most outspoken CVA foes include private power compa nies). CVA is the democratic way to assure a good life for future gen erations In the Northwest. Agreed Steen, a farmer and Jovial talker, agreed with Pearson on the need of utmost development of the Pa cific Northwest's natural resources, but scanned the CVA bill to point out many Instances where the board of directors would be given too much authority over the resources and people of the CVA area. Steen The three directors, ap pointed by the president and con gress, will have absolute authority over policy, use, management and functions of the CVA with no re course for the people of the North- ml .J , : e LLftsj. WHAT'S QUICKER than a flash? It could be a little bird called a bittern, smallest member of the heron family. Here is one held by Mrs. Peter H. Snyder, amateur ornithologist and member of the Audubon Society, who rescued it from a San Diego, Calif., lawyer's office. It was terrorizing the lawyer and his staff. They were afraid of its knitting. needle beak lunging quicker thon a flash. A stenographer called Mrs. Snyder, vho feeds it small frogs and minnows. It snatches its food so fast thot a camera set at 1 , 400 of a second can't quite catch the action without a blur. It Junges nine inches. Bitterns usually ore so tricky about concealing themselves thot they ore seldom seen, soys Mrs. Snyder.
