of living standards not only of
agricultural workers but also
of city workers of certain cate

Gates constantly emphasize
that the Government can fur
nish cheap power or that it
can provide many more rural
electrification projects than
private enterprise. But the
fact is that the Federal Gov
eminent can do anything
cheaper than a private busi-
ness If it wishes to load the
taxpayers of seven-eighths of
the country with a tax bill for
projects that are of direct
benefit to one-eighth of the
people.
The Americans for Demo-
cratic Action by implication do
approve a large part of the
Interior Departments state
ment. For the ADA says the
administration is "distorting
facts when it says that coop
Grafton with cities, States and
other local interests is a new
policy" Likewise the ADA
pronouncement argues that the
Federal Government in the
last 20 years had stepped in
only to undertake the big,
complex projects.
The amount of agreement
between the ADA and the In
terror Department appears to
be considerable, and it is the
private-power interests who
may become apprehensive that
the administration, while pro-
Tossing an intention to stay out

On at least three occasions
in the last IL months the Shah

to MosSadegh's ambitions and
the Kremlin's intrigues. But
the Shah is said to have feared
bloodshed. The military coup
was organized without his

The Iranian army, and par
ticularly the gendarmerie, was

Administrations Power POLICY
interior Departments Statement Seen as Opening
Door to More Federal HydroeIectrc Projects
Dovid LoWrence

Perhaps the best example
thus far Of what the Eisen-
hover administration means
by a middle of the road" ap-
proach to national policy has
just been given in the official
statement issued by the De-
partment of the Interior on
the subject of public owner
ship of electric power.
Senator Kefauver, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee and the
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton, a radical group that
supported the Democratic
presidential ticket in 1852, now
declare the Eisenhower policy
to be unsatisfactory" But q
careful examination Of the text
of the document will reveal
many reasons why advocates
of private enterprise will also
find the same statement "un-
satisfactory" deed, the
statement reaff1rms more of
the New Deal than the "old
deal" in the electric-power
controversy.
Basically, the New Deal,
which built the iva and made
grandiose plans for electric
power development by the
Federal Government in other
areas, looked toward a policy
eventually of Governme n t
ownership of power throughout
the United States. The idea
was that by governmental
development Of large projects
first, the private utilities in
due time would have to sell
their properties and the whole
industry would be nationalized.
When the Eisenhower ad-
ministration came into Office,
opponents of naturalization or
public ownership believed that

rears to the army and civil
servants, will undoubtedly do
its utmost to help consolidate
the new government of Iran
which looks to the West to
maintain its sovereignty.
It is also likely that the
British government, which has
been so short-Sighted in han
ding the Anglo-Iranian oil
controversy, will have learned
from its past mistakes to adopt
a more liberal attitude in that
matter. It will be impossible
for Teheran to abrogate the
naturalization of the oil fields
of Southeastern Iran, which
has already been accepted by
the British government and
the shareholders of Anglo
Iranian.
But the chances are that be-
fore the end of this year a
compromise concerning pay
ments to stockholders will be
agreed on by London and Te-
heran without any further ar
bitration. And what is more
important the activities of the
Abadan ref1neries will be re-
sumed in the near future
through a compromise of the
two governments. The depleted
treasury can count on a steady
income only If the refineries
are working full time and the
oil being sold on the world
markets.
There is already talk in
Washington about giving Iran
a loan of about '$120 million
to tide it over it's immediate
needs.
With an improved adminis-
tration Iran can become SOL
vent. The nation is homoge-
neous: the people are hard
working and strongly religious.
The recent upheavals which
brought the country to the
brink of national destruction
have taught them, as well as
the Western powers which
shared responsibility for the
near tragedy. how dangerous
1t is to play with fire, partic-
ularly when the matches are
in the hands of Moscow.

The Senate investigation of
last falls election in New Mex
leo in which Democrat Dennis
Chavez was returned to the
Senate with a 5,00O-pluS mar
gin over his Republican oppo-
nent, Patrick j. Hurley, is cur
rently nearing a close in a
slow fizzle.
The investigating Senators
themselves have left the scene.
Of the Republicans, Barrett of
Wyoming has hied to Alaska
to join one of the perennial
summer Investigations into
Alaska's fitness for statehood,
and Potter of Michigan has
gone back home. The Demo-
crat, Hennings Of Missouri, re-
turned to Washington to help
set up the new investigation
in problems of juvenile delin-
Quency. Even the counsel for
the Democrats has returned to
Washington. That leaves the
majority, and Republican
counsel, young Wexford Ware,
with the field. Presumably
Ware and his staff will stay
around until the last Of the
total of $166,500 in appropria-
tions made for the investiga-
ton is spent. So far there has
not been much to show for the
money.

now been abandoned. The re-
count centered in Bernalillo

purpose of finding out who was
elected. In any event, the
Chavez forces have now with
drawn their watchers and what
remains is a purely Republican
affair.
This is a sad but not unex-
pected end to the hopes of at
least some Republicans here
to pick up an extra seat in the
Senate at Democratic expense.
This is demonstrated by the
fact that in its last applica-
ton for additional funds for
the investigation, the COM
mittee asked for 100000 to
complete the investigation and
was reluctantly given only
$37, 500 in the last days of the
Senate session.
Ware is now reported as
probing for evidence of mis-
deeds in other parts of the
State. Unless he turns up
something more dramatic than
he and his staff have so far
been able to produce, it is un-
likely that the question of
Chavez election will reach
the floor of the Senate.

and Texas, where he made his
survey of the problem. With
those interests the Eisenhower
administration established po-
litical ties in the last campaign
and so is under obligation. Re
sistance to curbs on the "wet-
backs" also comes from big
planter interests in the rest of
the South who want cheap
labor as do Texas and Califor-
MIA growers. In Congress rep
resentatives from those areas
rallied enough conservative
Republicans to prevent any ef-
fective curbs. including penal
ties proposed for planters who
harbor and work "wetbacks."
Such penalties were voted by
the Senate, on motion Of Sen
ator Douglas, Democrat, of
Illinois, but were defeated in
the House by the Southern
Democratic conservative Re-
publican coalition, which was
directed on this issue by Rep
resentative Poage, Democrat,
of Texas, co-author of what
came to be the Poage- -Ellender
law. Likewise, Congress re-
jected other proposals by the
Truman administration to
meet this problem which is
daily becoming more acute, as
Attorney General Brownell
found. It also refused increased
appropriations asked by the
former President for the bor-
der patrol, which Mr.. Brownell

kish independence. Because
they feel innerly secure they
can afford to cooperate with
a foreign power. They look
upon the United States as an
additional bulwark and one
which they themselves have
consciously chosen. They do not
feel that they must apologize
to themselves for their pro-
Americanism, or for studying
and, to an extent, copying
American institutions, or for
accepting American aid.
But the Turks have their
problems, the chief of which
Is the dollar shortage.

goods is enormous but Turkey
competes with America in the
raw materials which are her
only exports. Turkish-type to-
oacco Is still bought, but 1t is
also now being grown in the
Carolinas. We cannot absorb
Turkish wheat, barley, or corn.

raised customs on dried fruits
by 30 per cent and subsidized
the export of American figs

The number Of Turks in tho

large. But ironically enough

wants American competition to
