est. Recently he refused TO sign
the latest version and it has gone
back to the SPA for further nego-
tiationS with the utilit S.
He baked particularly over
provision that would require the
Government to pay q subsidy to
private companies for serving
power to municipalities which are
SPA customers representing the
difference between the private
companies rate-l2 mills per kilo-
watt hour-and the rate prescribed
for such wholesale service by SPA
IS mills. The Government would
thus pay $56o.ooo for s245, 900
worth of electric energy, it was
pointed out by Senator Hayden
Democrat. of Arizona), chairman
of the Interior Department Appro-
priations subcommittee during the
Secretary's appearance before his
subcomittee.
Mr.. Chapman said this charge
was excessive" and held that the
contract is not in accord with
policy prescribed by the 1914
Flood Control Act which also re-
quires marketing of power at the
lowest possible rates consistent
with sound business and encour-
agement of widespread use. among
other specifications.
Strategy Of Utilities.
The strategy Of the utilities is
recognized to be the same as in
the last Congress. which is to pre-
vent appropriations which the
Government could use to build its
own transmission lines to supply
needed power. Last year the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee did
not go along with the Interior De-
partment on SPA, but was over
ruled by the Senate, itself. 1t ap-
pears that another fight on the
Senate floor is certain, for which
public power policy supporters are
organizing. Lack of appropriations
would hamper the Government in
bargaining with the private utili-
ties for wheeling contracts. as
Secretary Chapman frankly
pointed out to the subcommittee.
He said it would be easier to get
a contract with the appropriations
in hand, adding:
However, you will not find any
body coming to you to say that I
have been unfair In my approach
or that I have been trying to
browbeat any one with an appro-
priation to force a contract on any
company. I have not attempted
that. I do not want anybody in my
Department to attempt 1t. want

ming a Federal subsidy program,
not a business operation. Such
Federal subsidies, as every bu-
reaucrat knows, have a way of
creating vested interests, private
and political, which in turn
create a vested headache in the
man who administers them.
Wins Public Favor.
Mr.. Donaldson is the first mod
ern Postmaster General who ever
ran the Post Ofice instead Of the
Democratic or Republican parties.
When Congress began to econo-
mize on his department, he re-
studied his procedures, absorbed
5000 million of his deficit and
then quietly did what he had
warned Congress he would do,
which was to cut mail deliveries
to one q day.
