By ROBERT S. ALLEN,
In Texas Coop Power

Observation-Disclosures is fac
ing very embarrassing dilemma.
The legislators are going to have
to reveal whether they believe in
one of their own laws.
A group of Minnesota electric CO.
ops is determined to force this show
down on a key REA issue. REA Ad-
ministrator Claude Wickard h S
promised to help in this highly i'm
portant fight.
The co-ops want to know just where
Congress stands on the crucial pub
lie power preference clause more
aptly termed equality clause that is
under fierce attack by profit utility
interests.
Under this vital clause, in the Flood
Control Act of 1914, rural electric
co-ops and municipalities have pri-
ority rights to power developed at
government dams. Congress, con-
fronted by a highly uncertain cleo
ton this year, hasn't publicly al
tered this basic policy but, behind
the scenes, is doing just about ev-
erything possible to prevent the car
rying out of the clause.
Graphically illustrative of this I'M
dercover sabotage is the persistent
refusal to appropriate funds for
transmission lines to carry this cheap
power to co-ops in many areas.
TWo-TIMING
One area particularly hard hit by
this congressional double-dealing is
Minnesota.
A portion of the huge supply of
power soon to be produced in the Mis-
souri, valley has been reserved for
REA-financed co-ops by Interior Sec
rotary Oscar L. Chapman. He did
this under terms of the preference
equality clause.
That was fine. But both Chapman
and the elated co-ops soon found it
was an empty victory.
The co-ops have no way of obtain
ing that power. The House of Rep
resentatives has killed a 100000
appropriation requested by Chapman
to start construction of a 100000
volt line to wheel power to the Min
nesota co-ops from the Garrison Dam
on the Missouri River.
This setback was a grave blow to
electric co-ops throughout the en-
tire country.
That is the true significance of
this House action.

CONGRESS GETS TEST ON preference CLAUSE

That is what the embattled Mime
sofa co-ops are out to do. They are
waging a grim battle to get the SEN
ate to restore the money for this
line. Aiding the co-ops are Mime
sofas Senators Hubert Humphrey and
Edward Thye.
The outcome of this Senate strug-
gle is highly uncertain. Reason for
that is that it's being waged largely
behind the scenes, in committee
rooms and cloakrooms where the
profit utility lobby is supreme and
does it's most damaging work.
1t is to the vital interest of every
REA-financed coop in the country
to throw it's full weight into this
fight. If that isn't done and this all
important effort is lost, then co-ops
everywhere can expect to get the
same kick-in-t he-teeth treatment. This
is vital showdown for REA and
cooperative rural identification, and
unless it is won, co-ops will pay dear
Iy for it.
