(AP)- The once hotly debated proposal for a Columbia Valley Authority was called a "dead issue" Thurs day by Charles. F. Luce, newly appointed Bonneville power ad ministrator. "Under a strong president such as we have in President Kennedy existing agencies can get the job done," Luce said on his return from Washington where his ap pointment was announced Tues day. . The 43,year-oId Walla Walla at torney also said he plans two ma jor changes in Bonneville Power! Administration policy when he takes office in Portland Feb. 15. They are: 1. To obtain electric power from a dual-purpose nuclear reactor at the Hanford Atomic Works for the BPA power pool. 2. To put the BPA "in the van guard" in seeking to attract new industries to the Pacific North west. ,, The Columbia Valley Authority idea, on which Luce turned his back, had strong Democratic and public power support about a dec ade ago but has not been pressed in recent years. It would have created an over-all agency to de velop power resources of the Co lumbia. River system. Luce also said "it is undisput ed" that the federal government! should have the primary respon sibility for multi-purpose projects in which such features as flood control, navigation and recrea tion are non-reimbursable. Referring to use of power from Hanford, he said: 'I feel that it is important for America to move out in front and widen its lead in resources de velopment, and especially in the development of peacetime atom ic power. It is my hope that the BPA will give all possible support to plans for installation of such an atomic power plant (at Hanford)." A $145 million dual-purpose re actor, to produce both power and plutonium, was authorized by the last Congress for Hanford. Con struction is now under way, and when completed the reactor is ex pected to produce 700,000 kilowatts of power. It is this power, one-third of the capacity of Grand Coulee Dam, : which Luce hopes will be made available to the BPA. He said atomic power and ad ditional energy which will be available under a Columbia Ba sin development treaty with Can ada will provide large blocks of; low-cost power to attract indus try. 'In the past we have stood idly by waiting for industry to come, and then have developed the needed power. I want to develop the power first in the faith that if we have it we'll get the industry." Luce said that both public and private power agencies in the area should work to the fullest extent in developing its power resources. The new administrator, a prom inent southeast Washington Dem ocrat, will replace William Pearl 67, who was named to the post under the Eisenhower adminis tration. ..L C- I jetties Make New Seaport GOLD BEACH (AP) - A sea going tug Is to tow two barges loaded with lumber out of the Rogue River Thursday, thus pro viding Oregon with a new seaport.

Grain Loan Deadline Set LAKEV1EW Lake County grain farmers have until Jan. 31 to make application for grain loans, states Walt Corey, Lake County Agriculture Stabilization and Con servation office manager. Through the loan program, farmers may store their grain during a slump to wait for better prices, yet have some cash for paying operating expenses. Locally, most of the grain placed under loan is sold through regular market channels by the farmer who pays otf his grain loan with interest after waiting for market prices to recover fol lowing the harvest. Briefly, the program works like this: A 'farmer makes application for a loan on his grain crop through the ASC office. The government1 loans him up to the support price on each bushel of grain. That amounted to $1.81 per bushel in Lake County last year. The farmer has untd March 31 of the following year to decide whether to redeem his loan or turn the grain over to the govern ment. Usually, price recovery is such that the loan is redeemed and the grain sold through regular channels. The farmer then pays interest on the loan for the pe riod he has used the money, in addition to storage costs while the grain was under loan. Farmers have one other alter native under the support program. This is known as a purchase agreement. Under this program, the government, signs an agree ment with the farmer to buy the grain at support price at the end of the storage period if the farm er was not able to sell for a bet ter price. No loan is involved in that case. In recent years, the majority of Lake County farmers using the grain support program have re deemed their loans and paid in terest on the money, Corey con cluded.
