Hoover
Commission
Criticized
WASHINGTON ( Rm. Don
Magnuson (D-Wash) Monday crit
icised proposed Investigations by
the Hoover Commission's- task
force on water resources and pow
er and suggested: ,
". . .since we are practically as
sured in- advance that the task
force will issue a report saying
the government ought to get out of
the power business, we might,
upend our money to better advan
tage.!', i ,
In a speech prepared for House
delivery, Magnuson quest 1 o n e d
whether the task force seeks to
"promote economy, efficiency and
Improve service in the transaction
of public business" as the act cre
ating It specified or aims "to rec
ommend a new power policy for
the nation." r
Although he said he "cannot
complain of the caliber" of the
task force's 26 members, he said
he wished that former President
Hoover "had included at least one
or two men who did not share his
(Hoover's) well - known views
against public power,, and who
could have given the task force a
semblance of open-mindedness by
writing a token minority report."
He noted that the task force has
been criticized before for not In
cluding members favorable to pub
lic power while listing "a number
P of men who have actively opposed
publlo power development."
Magnuson singled out one par
ticular item for special criticism
that schedule of public hearings
which will take the task force this
spring Into Ban Francisco, Denver,
Chattanooga and Mew York City.
He said the Columbia-Snake Riv
er system of the Pacific Northwest
contains 40 per cent of the nation's
hydro-electric potential which the
Hoover Commission "chooses to
Ignore." - . . .
"The task force on water re
sources and power has not sched
uled a bearing within 600 miles of
a single drop of water In the
Columbia River Basin, he de
clared. . "I cannot understand how it
hopes to achieve a thorough under
standing of its subject if It falls to
consider toe most important water
resource area on the continent.
Israel Blamed
By Jordan
JERUSALEM. Jordan Section W
A Jordan spokesman charged to
day that Israel had launched an
organized attack at midnight on n
Jordan village two miles west of
Bethlehem. First reports said nine
Arab troops were killed and 16
wounded. -
The spokesman. - Mai. Moham
med Izhaq, senior Jordan military
delegate to the u. N. Mixed Ar
mistice Commission, said the Is
raelis also demolished some houses
then withdrew to Israel after an
hour. ,
Izhaa said the attack was made
on the village of Nahalin In the
section of Palestine occupied by
Jordan since the 1948 war with
Israel. .
He said the Jordanian casualties
included 6 National Guardsmen
and 3 Arab Legionnaires killed,
and 12 National Guardsmen and
4 Arab Legionnaires wounded.
The reported attack raised the
threat of sharp Arab retaliation
against Israel. Representatives of
the seven Arab states said In
Washington last week after a con
ference with U. S. Secretary of
State Dulles that an aggression bv
Israel against any one of the Arab
nations would be regarded as an
attack "upon tnem all."
