VAILLE WA8HINOTON U This year's Interior Department appropriation biil was an Important measure for the Pacific Northwest. Former Gov. Douglas McKay of Oregon Became secretary ol tne Interior and was an Important wit ness before House and Senate ap propriations subcommittees which put the bill together. Ben. Ouy Cordon (R-Ore) headed the Senate subcommittee and con ducted a lengthy bearing at which SIS witnesses testified. Cordon then piloted the bill through the Senate, Possibly significant excerpts from McKay's testimony before the subcommittee: Public vs. private power: "We are In the power business already and I would not want to see that scrapped, but I believe that prl vate enterprise should have the opportunity to live and the govern ment should in no event put road blocks In the Way of either pri vate enterprise or co-ops or public owned utilities. . Bonneville Power Administra tion: "I think .they spend too much money., .engage In too much propaganda.. .have too many attor neys, too many engineers, too many people." The proposed Ice Harbor Dam: "It is one of the essential proj ects, particularly for navigation." Indians: "Something must be done to adjust the Indian popula tion to our normal way of life and let them achieve progress by their own Initiative." Bonneville Administrator Paul Raver said studies Indcate Bonneville-rates will have to go up on Dec. 38, 1954, "a minimum of 10 per cent and a maximum of 35 per cent" because of Increased costs of not only salaries and materials, but of: new power-producing dams coming Into service. He agreed the 10-25 per cent estimate "seems like a pretty wide range," but said It was so because "we do not as yet have from the Federal Power Commis sion cost allocations on these new dams that will Indicate how much of the dam Is to be charged to power, how much to navigation, nd how much to flood control." Bonneville rates, now $17.60 a kilowatt year, have not been In creased since they were first set In 1930, Although the bulk of Raver's testimony was In justification of Bonneville's budget requests, he engaged In one exchange with Ben. Dworshak (R-Idaho) concern tig the government's role in North west Vateir resource development. Asked if he believed it was "the primary responsibility of the gov ernment to generate power hub w discourage private utilities from generating power and merely act as distribution agents," Raver de clared: - IJither the federal government assumes that primary responsion lty pretty soon, or somebody will have to, because that question of baslo responsibility for taklngtcare of the powesj needs for the econ omy of that region is going to have to be assumed by somebody or the region will suffer tremen dous economic da mage. ..And so loner as the federal government Is In a position where It, In essence, has preempted the main Sydro resources of the region, it has that responsiowty wnetner it uses n or not. Something Is going to have to be done about It." One nosslble clue as to that "something" might be came in the testimony of Ous Norwood, execu tive secretary of the Northwest Public Power Association. In urg ing restoration of House cuts In operation and maintenance ilunds for Bonneville, he declared: Perhaps before the next con gress. ..we may be able to submit to the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee some legisla tion to outline revenue bond fi nancing, possibly for the Incorpo ration of Bonneville as a govern ment corporation, possibly eventu ally for an Interstate compact to take the job over within the re gion." - Anticipating that the Republican administration might make some change In Its water policy, Nor wood and others, Including Cliff Erdahl Northwest utilities confer ence chairman, urged that the re gion be warned In advance of any switch. I think." said Erdahl, "we must SQUARE DANCING Friday, Auq. 21st Red Barn - Dorris Otto Ellis - Calling . .

Other witnesses before Cordon's subcommittee, in addition to vir tually every member of Congress from the Northwest, Included offi cials of the. Coos-Curry Electric Cooperatives Inc. Ivan C. Laird of Sltkum, Fred Adams of Ophir and Charles W. Brooks of Coquflle seeking funds for the Alvey-Elk Head-Riddle and Nickel Mountain Norway transmission lines; Olen R.

Walter, William A. Oal bralth, Leon Bailie and George .um oi wssmngton's Columbia Basin Commission. .. The result of the Senate sub committee's hearing was that the Senate voted $78,128,817 for the Northwest, compared to a House total of $69,315,656. Then both houses compromised on $71,805.- 817. ..

WASHINGTON I The Eisen hower administration a newly enunciated power policy was under fire Thursday, from the CIO Politi cal Action vCommittee and spokes men for Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) and the National Rural Cooperative Association. The policy, spelled out Tuesday with President Elsenhower's ap proval assigns to local interests, either public or private, the main role in developing power for the nation. The Interior ; Dt-partment said the federal government would continue to build multi-purpose dams too big for local units to undertake. . ' c The CIO's political organization, meeting here to open a campaign for election of a pro-union Congress next year, Wednesday unanimously adopted a resolution saying the power policy "threatens within a short time to wreck the entire public power program." Robert R. Nathan, chairman, of ADA'S executive committee, said In a statement the decision to rely primarily on local Interests "Is an ui-conceaiea give-away ox resourc es which belong to all the people.' ADA describes itself as an or ganization of liberals supporting the policies of former president Franklin D. Roosevelt. . The statement said the new gov ernment approach to power meant private interests wul be in a posi tion to "get a strangle-hold on power development and distribu tion, and thus put the brake on the continuing expansion of power for industries and farms." Clyde T. Ellis, executive man- V agar of the National Rural Electric Cooperative, said in anotner' state ment tne new policy would cost farmers several million dollars a year on their wholesale power bills because in most cases only power companies would' be iinanciaiiy able to build electrlo projects and transmission lines. The Interior Department in Its announcement said it would build 13 Shopping DAYS left before School Starts Shop at Drews BOYS WEAR SHOP For the latest in school Clothes ; ages 6-20 DRGUJS Klanaxot 733 Main Ph. 3463 ii I I I I I it.
