u. n. Polls Delegates
On Whether 10 Wait
For Elections in u. ).
By Froneis W. Carpenter
=. PF 49,.

| Associofed Press Stoff Writer
| UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Sept.
3.-An increasing number Of U. N
delegates are expressing deter
mination to carry on their interna-
tional business as usual regardless
of the heat of the American presi-
dental campaign.
It is fast becoming a sore sub
ject to mention to the average
U. N. delegate that American poll
tics may affect the U. N. meetings.
The seventh General Assembly,
originally scheduled to convene
September Is, was postponed
weeks ago until October IA partly
because some U. N. quarters feared
that business could not be done
until the United States decided on
its next President.
Reaction to that move has been
Snowballing ever since. The U. N.
Secretariat now is polling the
membership to find out if members
want to postpone important
policy debates until after the elec-
tionS.
The guessing in U. N. quarters
is that the decision will &c to go
ahead with the debate. The re-
suit may be known Friday.
One If the chief opponents Of
any delay in assembly procedure
after the October IA opening is
Lester B. Pearson, Canadian tor
eign secretary, who so far is un-
opposed for the top post of as
sembly president.
Ernest A. Gross, United States
deputy delegate, said the United
States would ABSTAIN if a formal
vote is taken in the assembly on
postponing general debate. But
other circles said the United
States delegation is opposed to
any postponement on the grounds
that both Gen. Eisenhower and
Gov. Stevenson are committed to
support the u. N. and the election
outcome therefore will have little
effect on the United States posi-
ton toward the organization.

/ deal. Aluminium is rapidly becoming g
competitor in fields where copper
has long been supreme. 1t can be
used in transmission lines, for ex-
ample, as efficiently as copper and
| is much cheaper-and the Interior
Department is now building $4,000
miles of transmission lines. Anaconda,
major company in the highly in
tegrated copper industry, is being al
lowed in on the ground floor in a
position to monopolize bidding on
construction work as well as to pro-
tect its traditional interests.
An Administration interested in
obtaining the maximum social bene-
fits from Hungry Horse power would
have awarded the contract for this
power to an Independent concern,
with guarantees that once the pres
ent emergency was over aluminium
would be fairly allocated to all small
plant fabricators But as things now
stand, it is a foregone conclusion
that Anaconda will use the output of
the new plant for its own operations
and that the plant will be of little
benefit to other fabricators, small or
large. That the contract ended up
with Anaconda rather than with Har-
vey would be a blow to small bust
nesses under any circumstances; it
appears even more significant in the
light of the post-emergency impli-
cations for small businesses depend
ent on aluminium
Fleischmann issued a statement |
ustifying his Anaconda decision on
wo grounds: that Anaconda could
produce aluminium at Kalispell more
quickly than any other company, and
hat it could build its plants with
ut use of public money. He brushed
side the argument that copper and
luminum are competitive metals by
aging that copper has a sure market
or at least ten years
1t was not necessary for Fleisch-
mann to wait until Anaconda had
wallowed Harvey before taking some

tract for the power-it is understood
that Anaconda is insisting on a
twenty-vear contract-the deal might
still be upset. But Mr.. Chapman is
not likely to take this action IN
view of the fact that the President
has already upheld Fleischmann and
Wilson.
However, if General Taylor and
Secretary Chapman, with Senator
Murray and Representative Mans
field, were to go to the President
and insist on a reversal of the de-
cision, the deal might still be
blocked.
In all conscience this final effort
should be made. Anaconda is reaping
huge profits from the production and
fabrication of copper. By being able
to state that it owns 95 per cent of
the stock of the new aluminium sub
Anaconda will be able to pillow
back its copper profits into the new
plant and then write-off almost the
entire cost under the extravagantly
generous provisions of the accelerat-
ed tax-am irritation program, which
allows concerns holding Certificates
of necessity" to amortize most of the
cost of new defense plants over
five-year period. To put it plainly,
now stands chance to end
up with a new aluminium plant pre-
sented by the government along with
a twenty-year contract for go per
cent of the power from a public
project which the company strenu-
ously opposed. A succession of Re-

en- to add that the typographical err
ror was ours, not yours.
Please refer to the concluding sem
tence of the paragraph which begins
at the bottom of page l of my letter
of November 6. AS it appeared in my
letter, this sentence reads, Chased
on prices of January 1, 1941, it also
was estimated that the total cost of
constructing the dam and other fea-
lures of the Lower Marias Unit
would be $64,065, 000." The intro
ductory part of that sentence should
have read, "Based on prices of Janu-
airy 1, 1949 :" instead of Janu-
airy 1, 1941.
In view of the fact that your cor
respondent, Mr.. E. J. Parkinson of
Great Falls, used this factor as one
of the points of discussion in a sub
sequent communication to THE PEG
PIES VOICE, we are particularly
itSIClIdl lile8b tAAt ttiOL OINdi Gu
As point of interest to you, had we
actually meant to use 1871 instead of
1949 in that sentence, it would have
been phrased in this manner, Chased
on prices of January L, 1941, it also
was estimated that the total cost of
constructing the dam and other fea-
lures of the Lower Marias Unit would
be $35, 100000" In other words, if
we had constructed the dam and other
features of the Lower Marias Unit
(as now planned) in 1941, the cost
would have been S35, 100000 instead
of the estimated 1949 price of S64,-
065,00
We greatly appreciate the courte-
sizes you have shown the Bureau of
Reclamation.

per, paid S1,626,000 in damages to
the government for shipping untested
wire to the British and American
armed forces. But by the time Pear
son got around to discussing this,
things had happened.
Harvey had offered to put up ST.
100000 of its own money, but the
$45, 100000 RFC loans recommended
by Chapman was not approved, the
recommendation having been stop
ped dead in Fleischmann's office.
Harvey was unable to arrange pri-
vate financing as aasubstitute for the
RFC loan, and there are dark sug-
gestions-none of them provable-
that promising deals were blocked.
Finally, without advance notice to
Chapman, new company in which
Anaconda held 95 per cent of the
stock was organized to take over
Harvey's power contract. In addi-
ton to 5 per cent of the stock of the
new company, Harvey will be given
contract which is supposed to as
sure it supply of aluminum-up to
20 per cent of the total output
for its Los Angeles factories. Des-
pite sharp protests from Chapman
and the Justice Department, Fleisch-
mann gave his approval and directed
Chapman to confirm the assignment I

Anaconda already uses about 80
per cent of all the electric power
consumed in Montana. The power it.
self is almost all produced by the
Anaconda-controlled Montana Power
Company. Now, by order of Fleisch-

nant in new field, aluminium, with
the benefit of the cheap public power
produced at Hungry Horse with pub
lie money.

eminent stimulated competition in the
aluminium industry by huge loans to
the Kaiser and Reynolds interests.
| Government funds financed a sub
stantial part of our industrial ex-
pansion during the war, and their use
to spread competition was consid-
cred healthy. 1t was one of the few
ways of counteracting the tendency
of existing large corporations to at
tract most of the prime war con-
tracts.
"A GROTESQUE CONTRADICTION
In 1850 and 1851 Congress re-
fused to authorize government con-
struction of new industrial facilities,
but it approved RFC loans and price
incentives. Chapman and the Depart
ment of Justice called Fleischmann's
attention to a Congressional declara-
ton on the disposition of public
power and an executive order COW
ering mobilization contracts both of
which aim to decentralize economic
strength. To help Anaconda into the
aluminium business and allot it big
part of Hungry Horse power merely
because it is already big enough to
devour a competitor and can do so
without borrowing government money
is a grotesque contradiction of the
spirit if not the letter of the law and
the executive order.
In a final effort to block Fleisch-
mann's directive, Brigadier General
Telford Taylor, as head of the Small
Defense Plants Administration, urged
President Truman to intervene. But
The President, doubtless influenced
oy the embarrassing position in which
Representative Mike Mansfield and
Senator James Murray find them
selves on this matter, decided to up
hold Fleischmann and Wilson. 1t is |
