new POWER POLICY IS TOTAL SURRENDER TO
UTILITY LOBBY, SAYS PATTON OF NF.U.

The example of Hells Canyon, where
one of the nations best hydroelec-
trio sites is being traded for three
small "spite dams" which will pro-
duce far less power and other bene-
fits at far greater cost, is timely
warning.
This policy will permit monopoly
to grab the highly-profitable prof.
ects in river system for private
profit exploitation, leaving the
public to carry the burden of the
high-cost segments of an overall
development.
This policy will rob the nation of
the dynamic stimulation to economic
growth crowded by abundant cleo
tricity at low cost. The history of
the past half century has proved time
after time that the private utilities
have always been far behind the
needs Of the nation. The private utili-
ty industry opposed the REA pro-
gram from the very beginning as
unnecessary" an consistently
fought against appropriations for it's
continuation. The private utilities OPP
posed the great federal dams and the
IVA as "white elephants whose vast
energy production would not find
market.
This nations enormous effort in
World War II, it's development of
atomic energy and its tremendous
light metals industry, the electrifica-
ton of American agriculture in
short decade-and-a-half, all would
have been impossible of realization
if the federal government had not
assumed primary responsibility for
getting the power development done
In this challenging and dangerous
period, there is no justification for
assuming that the nation can now af-
ford another regime of stagnation
Yet the Administration is now
seeking to surrender the right of
the people to democr atically gov
ern their own economic futures to
a small group of people whom his
tory has shown to be invariably
mistaken in judgement, unima gina
tive and unenterprising, cynically
greedy for maximum gain for mini
mum effort, and willing to subvert
the very theology of democratic
self government in order to ad-
vance their private fortunes.

BENSON And Mckay Are COMPANIONS In MISERY

meeting of co-ops in Wyoming, angry
protests boiled up over the new
policy.
At similar meeting in Billings,
Mont, a whole series of resolutions
were adopted denouncing the power
policy of the administration. Inter-
estingly enough. the target of these
resolutions was not Sec of Interior
Mckay but Undersec. Tudor. To an
increasing degree Tudor is credited
with making the basic decisions in the
department W lille Mckay makes
speeches.
One resolution adopted by the Mon
tana farmers call for Tudor's dis
missal and congressional investiga-
ton of his activities. The resolution
says that the decision of the Presi-
dent and Sec. Mckay to abandon
the Hells Canyon Dam" was based
on Tudor's recommendation despite
the fact that Mr.. Tudor, as former
district engineer of the corps of en-
gineers at Portland, had participated
in the preparation of the :. +. report
which strongly urged the construction
of Hells Canyon DAM"
In a long list of charges brought
against Tudor, he is accused of pur-
suing "a policy of wrecking power
agencies by firing several thousand
people with emphasis on planning per-
sonnet, rate and load study experts,
power marketing staff and admins
trative people," The undersecretary
also is charged with advocating "var-
ious artificial methods of increasing
federal power rates by padding costs
by means of higher interest rates on
power investments, larger ALLEGATION
for absorbing steam costs of private
power corporations and larger sub
sides for irrigation"
All this may seem pretty abstruse
to the Fastener who pushes but
ton to get his power and never thinks
of where it comes from. But in the
wide-open spaces it is q matter of di-
rect and immediate Importance and
particularly now that farmers every
where are caught in the sueeze of
rising costs for what they buy and
declining prices for what they sell.
1t is true that voters are few and
far between and, because population
is so thinly distributed, the six noun
tain states send only 13 members to
the House of Representatives. Of this

They too support it overwhelmingly
The people of the states and com
munities where federal power prof.
ects have been constructed do not OBJ
ject to the policy under which these
projects were initiated and have been
operated. On the contrary, all of the
bona-fide local interests support that
policy overwhelmingly. This has been
abundantly demonstrated time after
time in referendum elections and in
the choice of candidates by the vot-
ers. 1t is conclusively evidenced by
the policy positions adopted by farm
organizations, chambers of commerce,
labor unions, and other citizens or
CARNATIONS in these communities.
Contrary to the false implication
which the Administration an
nouncement seeks to cultivate,
where these federal power pro-
grams are operating, "the people
locally" have enjoyed greater
measure of freedom PLUS Eff
FECTIVE ACTION in the field of
electric power development and
management than ever before.
The role of the federal govern
ment has been to do that which can
not be done effectively by local gov
erGments and cooperative groups.
That role is to provide orderly over
all development, power generation,
long-distance transmission, and inte-
grafton of resources to secure maxi
mum efficiency in their utilization.
Local groups themselves handle retail
distribution.
This program, in actual fact, is one
of the best development in effec-
tive and democratic resources man.
agement that the world has ever
seen.
In contrast, the Administrations
new departure aims deliberately to
weaken the ability of public groups
to solve their own problems subject to
the democratic sanctions of 'the
people locally" and thereby to
the power of narrow, pri-
vate groups to impose their will on
the people without effective re
course.
The Administration power policy
will permit private monopoly to
resources belonging to all
the people in incomplete, inadequate,
inefficient, and high-cost exploitation.

By MARQUIS CHILDS,
In Chicago Sun-Times, Oct. 27

WASHINGTON-As the brickbats
descend, Sec. of Agriculture Benson
may be consoled to know that not
all the blame for the detection of
farm voters can be laid at his door
step.
The politics of low-cost power, over
| which Sec. Benson has comparatively
little jurisdiction, may be just as i'm
portant a factor as the decline in
farm prices.
In Wisconsin's 9th Congressional
District, where Democrat was elect
ed for the first time in history, there
are 10 rural electric co-operatives
distributed through the II counties
comprising the district. Those co-ops
long have discussed the possibility
of obtaining low-cost power from
Fort Randall Dam in South Dakota
through a" grid system which would
also tie in the rural electric co-ops
in Minnesota. In both Wisconsin and
Minnesota power rates are high.
Built by the Bureau of Reclamation,
Fort Randall Dam now will dispose
of its power under a new ruling is
sued by the Department of the In
terror. This ruling modifies the pref
erence provision under which the low
cost power has gone to co-ops and
municipality owned electric systems.
With the change, surplus power is
sold to private utilities through 20
year contracts that are irrevocable.
Furthermore, the Bureau the Bud
get has cut out most of the rural
lines carrying power from reclama-
ton dams.
Until Eisenhower administration
took office, contracts with private
utilities were subject to change if
preference customers came along
needing the power. With the new rul-
ing the co-ops are fearful that they
are precluded from further growth.
While this touches some areas in
the Midwest, it is a vital issue in the
Western states where reclamation is
an important part of the economy. In
Wyoming, for example, about 80 per
cent of all power comes from Bureau
of Reclamation projects. Under the
new Interior Department ruling sur
plus power from these projects will
be sold to private utilities in Denver
and Cheyenne. At recent regional

total. seven are Republicans and six
are Democrats. In the election last
wear the Republicans made net gain
of one.
But the House is now divided so
narrowly-218 Republicans to PA
Democrats that these seats scattered
widely through the geography of the
West could actually determine con-
troll in the election of 1854. In other
words, quite apart from what hap
pens anywhere else, the resentment
of farmers and ranchers in the West
on the issue of power may seal the
fate of the first Republican admins
tration to hold office in 20 years.
