indication Of q trend back to their
party-there will be loud shouts
that the American people are turn
ing their backs on the Republican
Congress. and the Republican
Party.
To show united front, however,
the Democrats must heal some sores.
In the primary election for the
party nominations for Representa-
tive on Saturday, former Represen-
tative Savage, Democrat, won the
nomination over State Attorney
General Smith Troy. Mr.. Troy ran
as Truman Democrat" an avowed
supporter of the Truman foreign
policy toward Russia. Mr.. Savage,
for his part, was quoted by the
radical press as favoring Henry A.
Wallace's brand of foreign policy
although he disavowed saying any
thing about 1t. Mr.. Savage is an
avowed progressive, and some Of
his critics insist he is no more nor
less than a fellow traveller" He
himself has vigorously denied he
has anything to do with the Com
munists. Certainly some Of the
groups who supported Mr.. Savage
for the nomination against Mr.. Troy
are for the Wallace policy and
against that Of Mr.. Truman-and
some of them are as radical as they
come.

| In the interests of party har-
mony-and party victory-confer-
ences between the Troy faction
leaders, Gov. Waldgren, who is
understood to have favored Mr.
Troy for the nomination, and Mr.
Savage have been underway. One
thing that Messrs. Troy and Savage
have in common Is a hate for the
present Republican Congress, and
for the action Of the House in cut

day for Savage. Former Represent
ative DeLacy, who was termed q
"Communist" In 1946 by Democrats
in Washington and who was de-
feated largely on the Red" issue,
ran up and down the district with
caravan, campaigning for Mr..
Savage, who In the last Congress
stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr..
De Lacy and Representative Marcan-
tonic Of New York, another radical.
What the Republicans hope, and
what may happen, Is that the strong
feeling on the Pacific Coast against
Russia, which made itself felt in
the 1946 congressional elections in
Washington, will be effective again
on June 7. Certainly they will try
to pin on Mr.. Savage the support
Of Communists and fellow travellers.
Attorney General Troy is highly
respected, more conservative Demo-
crat-a veteran Of World War IL
and 1t is an open secret that his
nomination was greatly desired by
some of the Democratic leaders in
Washington, D. c., as well as In
Washington State. Indeed, at one
time he was given the better chance.
But the groups supporting Mr.. Saw
age were able to get their vote out
In the primary-they usually can.
Henry Wallace is due to make
addresses in both Seattle and Port
land, which is just across the bay
from the third Washington district
before the election is held. 1t
seems natural he should undertake
to give Mr.. Savage a pat on the
back-though 1t might hurt Mr..
Savage more than help him.
The Savage campaign, it Is said,
will be well financed by the groups
favoring him. BY the same token,
it may be expected the Republicans
will make a special effort to elect
their man.

which has resulted In turning vary
ing degrees Of power over to Ger
mans, many Of whom are, from our
point Of view, unreliable-the United
States and Britain have brought
into existence q new bizonal eco
nomic council which, 1t Is hoped,
will be able to cope with the pres
ent German economic crisis.
The new council, creation OF
which amounts to q British victory
over the American position on Ger.
man economics control, will be in
the nature Of an economic parlia-
ment," it is reported, with powers
superior to the present economic
committees, which exist in each
zone. The committees themselves,
it is understood, will be given ex-
ecutive powers for the direct con-
troll of production and distribution
of some commodities. 1t Is this
grant of power to German officials
to issue DEGREES with the force Of
law which the United States has
opposed, on the ground that Ger
mans should not be given bureau-
cratic power until the process OF
democratization Is complete.

clear. Already severely overbur-
dened by the cost Of the German

The object was to assure 10 years or

further, and equally important, OBJ

PRIVATE POWeR LOBBY SEEKS ELIMINATION or CON- PfTTION OFFERED .,8Y
 ELfC CTRIC CO-OPS

Will the tWo-mil lion American farms which today still are vi thout el ectric light and power remain dark in the future?
 The ansWer to this question depend on the final result of vital struggle being Uaged both on the home grounds of rural
 electric co-ops and in Congress between those who believe in the right of all people to have e1 ectric power and those who place their prof it-Nnger above that basic ri ght.
 Leading the attack on the program to give power to all people arc the private power companies of America who failed to elec- trify rural America for 50, ye sand who were finally driven to serve some more of the negle cted rural areas only by cooper ative corpe tition financ ed by Federal loans. These comp anies tried in the past session of Congress to eliminate any fur- ther authorization of government loans to rural ell ectric co-ops, and sought to slip through bills which would in jure the pro- cram as it already exists.
 In spite of the fact that competition from electric cooperatives, public power dis tricts and public utility distric cts organ i2ed td serve farmers from RBA-financed power lines drove the private power ccan- panies into an exp anded effort to build more lines in rural areas, the co-ops overlook the private comp an ie in serving a larger number of farms during the first part of this year. This young, new com .|"' Cont inued in next column
The Valley settler., 1947-10-16

PRIVATE POWER LOBBHS Cont. petition from the co-ops, who have found new ways of doing the job cheaper and better, has made the private companies sec the profits they could have had by serving rural areas sooner. That is one reason for their attack now.
 The utility trusts effort is primarily aimed at sell ing the American public and the Congress on a fictic 1ous idea that rural el ectric co-ops represent "govern- ment interference" with private business. The power companies can sell this idea in many influenti ial places because of a wfde- spread lack of sound information regarding the manner in which rural ele ctric co-ops are organized and operate in relation to the government.
 For instance, the 1oans made to co-ops by RBA are not in any sense a gift. They are paid back to the government over a 35- year period with 25 interest. Nor are RIA loans provided to co-ops in a lump sum. When a coop is first organ ized, member ship fees paid by individual members pays for an ngineering study which is the basic plan for serving their farms with electric power. This study Is sent to REA along with the loan application. Only after REA approves the study and the a1- plication is any loan granted to the Coop. Sue ceeding loans are granted on similar sound and orderly basis. Yet the private power trust has been able to convince otherwise we11~.informed bu siness and goV- erTlrent leaders that REA loans are HGifts. During and S ince the var an increasing backlog of loan applications has piled up and REA lacks the loan authorizations to handl them. Meant inc farners' demands for rural electric power are increas ing. Larger authorizations for loans can enable co-ops to serve these farmers, out only Congress c an authorize the necessary loans. To date, the loudesT trumpet ing in the
 ear of Congress has been that of the hard driving private power lobby.
 Efforts Of farmers acQuaint their Congress men and their assoc iates in nearby conl- munities with the true facts about the rural electrific at ion should pay off with large dividends. There is no Te4ce more powerful in the nation today than the one which comes from the grass rosts of
 America.

John himself seemed a little mad

in his voice when he said:

she thought. But of course il
couldn't be.
