The commission would be financ-

; Flegel said his bill would as
jsure adequate supplies of low cost
i power that would further Oregon's
industrial growth. He said the
lonly way for Oregon to assure it
self of a supply of federal power
is to create the state agency.
Flegel said there is no chance
of getting Congress to repeal the
Bonneville preference clause,
under which public power agen
cies get the first call on federal
power.
Albert S. Cummins, president of
the California-Oregon Power Co..
said Oregon will continue to have
plenty of low cost power as long
as the present companies are per
mitted to serve.
John M. Fullon. president ofi
the Portland Chamber of Com-1
mercc, said there is adequate
power available for at least the
next 10 years.
"The bill." Fulton said, "would
establish an intolerable concen
(.ration of economic and legal
