views on a parity with the richer
Federal agencies.
"The compact procedure" DR.
Wolman said, should be profitably
developed by the States in combina-
tion with some Federal co-ordinat-
ing agency. The history Of the com
pact method is favorable. Unfor'
tunateIy, 1t has not been used eithel
as frequently or as competently q.
1t should have been. It offers an .ex.
cellent route by which to resolve
important issues Of ALLEGATION and

Interstate Responsibility.
Emphasizing that the compact
method does not provide the admin
istrative machinery for the design
construction or operation Of river
valley projects, DR.. Wolman added
that, even with these limitations, it
is a necessary prerequisite to future
interstate participation in basin de-
velopment.
1T supplies that degree of con-
,scious interstate responsibility which
so frequently we have emphasized
as a necessary accompaniment Of
State autonomy" Or. Wolman said
"A national reviewing agency
would have one of its major func-
tions the development Of facilities
and processes by which continuing
important State participation in
studies and in decision would be
assured. These, in turn, would lead
to logical bases for State particlpa-

resulted from faulty wiring. He re /.
called that short circuit caused &.
