welfare legislation.
The Congress legislation poll
cies, approved by the organiza-
tion's board of managers, were

be channeled through the United
States Office of Education and
thence through the State and
local departments of education"
A maximum of local control,
the Congress added, would main
tain and strengthen "tl1e in
tegrity Of our free public school
system"

that Federal aid to education
funds should go to publicly con-
trolled, tax supported schools
only.

Urges Public
Development Of
Key Power Plant

Washington (LPA)- The FEEDER
al Bureau of Reclamation, not a
private utility company, should de-
velop the projected key power plant
at Pine Flat in the Kings River
Valley of California, Secretary of
the Interior Oscar Chapman told
the Federal Power Commission
March 21.
Chapman appeared before the
FPC in a rehearing of the Pine
Flat case. Last November the COM
mission awarded the big project to
the Pacific Gas & Electric Co., but
later agreed to reconsider its rul-
ing. Observers pointed out that the
award to PG&E was the FPC's
first major decision since power
lobbyists persuaded the Senate to
reject the reappointment of Com
missioner Leland Olds.
Throughout his statement, Chap
man contended that the greatest
common good from such power de-
velopments would be best achieved
if the government itself built the
projects and marketed the power.
He said President Truman wanted
the Pine Flat project to be built by
the government and cited letters
from the President and Budget
Director Frank Pace to make his
point.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-03-30

on the national board of the Citlz-
ems Committee for the Hoover Re
port, stated that it was necessary
to "acquaint the union membership
and their families with these aims
and bring them solidly in line with
the forces for better and more
economical government" That sug-
gestion still stands. 1t would be
harmful and surely not in line with
the high purposes of Mr.. Hoover if
labor, in the light of the Presidents
specific recommendations, were to
view the program as just another
maneuver and judge it by its poll
tical effects.
The coal war of 1949-50 has end
ed on a note consonant with the
Importance of the miners union,
the dignity of its leadership, and
the welfare of both management
and labor. Now that the bitterness
of the 9-month conflict is fading,
it is perhaps not too much to hope
that both the coal operators and
the union consider the public well
fare as well. Certainly the Ameri-
can people got raw deal, but if
the new contract means stability
and a better union-management
relationship in coal, then nobody
will begrudge the high price.
