About 144 persons Including a
number from Klamath county,

the whole a conservative group and
consequently Steen was on much
firmer ground with the audience.

It so happens that most of Lake

Private Firms
Private power companies can de

runs toward party lines, democratic
and republican.
Here Is the gist oi what tne

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

" 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
