the Secretary of the Interior.

Public Power Policy
Changes Are Coming,
Mckay Tells Farley
By the Assoeiated Pies,

BOSTON, May 15.-Secretary
of the Interior Mckay asserted
last night, Public power is here
and it is going to stay"
The secretary told the annual
convention of the American Pub
lie Power Association, however,
that there should be local initia-
ton of Federal power projects
and that there is room for both
public and private power.
He said huge multi-purpoSe
dams must be built by the Fed
eral Government "as a friendly
partner" with local authorities.
but that changes are coming in
the way the Federal power pref
erence clause is administered.
Under this clause public bodies
have preferential rights to Fed
eral power.
To Change Federal Monopoly.
Mr.. Mckay said he suspected
the power policy under the DEM
ocrats was conceived with one
idea in mind, that of a COM
pletely federaliZed electric gen.
Grating system, a government
monopoly in large areas of the
United States" He declared he
did not like monopoly in any
form.
AS to the local initiation of
Federal power projects, Mr.. Nc
Kay said:
"The president has said, and
I go along with him 100 per cent,
that the development of our
power resources must be ap-
preached from the grass roots,
that the people in the areas
have a voice in what is being
done with their own resource
and after all, water is resource
that belongs to all the people.
not to the federal government.
Mr.. Mckay said administra-
ton of the preference clause has
been "out of order" at times. He
said it had been used to compel
changes in organizations that
distribute power at retail in To-
cal communities and as an i'm
plement for federal control of
power rates and management at
the local level.
Preference Customers First.
Federal power should be
brought into communities and
distributed by whatever retail
systems prevail in the COM
munity at the time the power
is available" Mr.. Mckay said.
"If preference customers are
there and ready to buy power,
they should be so recognized and
be given the power they require.
That power should be sold on
the basis of long-term contracts
and by the same token the re-
manning power should be made
available to other customers in
the area, also on the basis of
equally long-term contracts"
But. he asserted, turning back
