OREGON GRANGE HEAD
RAPS MCKAY 'GIvE-AMAY'
or HELLS CANYON SITE !

MEDFORD, Ore.-Elmer Mcclure,
master of the Oregon State Grange,
attacked Interior Secretary Douglas
Mckay for the "Hells Canyon give
away" and called for Outraged pub
lie opinion to stop this monstrous
thing"
Speaking at the opening session of
the 80th Oregon State Grange here,
Mcclure also blasted Agricultural
Secretary Ezra T. Benson for a do
nothing policy on declining farm
prices
He directed his attack mainly at
McKay's recent action in withdraw
ing Interior Department support of
Hells Canyon dam.
Mcclure accused Mckay of dealing
crushing blow to the regions hy-
droelectric power development by
giving Idaho Power Co. a key dam
site-Hells Canyon.
Addressing a receptive Grange au-
dience, Mcclure said Mckay "knew
he was rendering impotent the $5,-
100000 1903 report of the Army
Engineers"
eff as the result of McKay's &C.
ton, Hells Canyon dam never is built
and the Idaho Power Co. gains con-
troll of the Snake river, it will be
forever to his shame.
81 would not want to live with
such thing on my conscience"
Mcclure blasted Benson's promise
that farm prices would be stabilized.
Stabilized where? the farmer
asks. At the bankruptcy level? The
farmer cannot be expected to well
come sterilization of farm prices at
a level which gives him, with 10 per
cent of the population, less than 7
per cent of the national income"
Mcclure said farmers will continue
to need federal farm programs to
control SURPRISES that result from
abundant production. He said sta
bility of markets must be assured
through such devices as support
prices marketing agreements and i'm
port controls. - GREAT FALLS

Did BILLINGS CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUY A
BILL OF GOODS NOV. q?

"Some members of the Billings
Chamber of Commerce are beginning
to wonder just what kind of a bill
of goods they were sold last Novem-
Der when they were assured that if
they voted for Wesley D'Ewart, he
would support Yellowtail DAM" OBJ
served Willard Fraser of Billings,
this week.
THE immediate cause of these
lifted eyebrows" continued the 1852
congressional opponent of D'Ewart,
sis caused by the introduction of S.
1864 by Martin, a Republican. This
measure would repeal the Bureau of
Reclamation's congressional authori-
cation to construct Yellowtail Dam.
Members of the chamber know
that D'Ewart is the only Republican
from Montana in the Congress. In
fact, they know that he is Mr.. Re-
publican from Montana, and one of
the ranking Republicans in the Con-
gress holding a very high place on
the committee that deals with all De-
partment of Interior Matters" Fra
ser emphasized. They also know
that no bill so important as one to
de-authorize Yellowtail Dam would
be introduced in the Congress with
out it's having D'Ewart's tacit ap-
proval at least.
''They know that congressional
courtesy demands that member of
D'Ewart's rank be considered, and
that no measure concerning Montana
and having his disapproval would be
introduced in the Congress by fell
low Republican. &c." concluded Fra
ser, "they are beginning to wonder
just what sort of double talk they
have been getting from Cong. D.
Ewart.
The Billings C. of C. recently sent
its secretary, H. L. Buck, to Wash
ington to testify for funds for Vel
lowtail Dam before the Appropria-
tons committee.

From CIO-PAC PIPELINE

State officials in Louisiana and
Texas are not satisfied with the re-
cent fight to them by Congress of
the $50 billion oil-rich off-shore lands.
They want substantial rights to the
5000 billion worth of oil and other
minerals in the land beyond their
"historic boundaries" out to the edge
of the continental shelf.
Their views were made known in
hearings before the Senate interior
committee which is considering a
measure guaranteeing full federal
ownership and rights to oil, natural
gas, and other minerals in this area.
Such bill was promised by Senate
Majority Leader Robert A. Taft
(R-Ohio) during the course of re-
cent debate over land within the
three-mile limit.
Louisiana Governor Robert Ken
non appeared before the committee to
urge that the laws and police powers
of the state be extended beyond the
"historic boundaries" and that the
states be allowed to impose severance
taxes on oil and minerals taken from
the area. He was supported by the
states encouragement in his argu-
ment.
Texas officials pushed their claims
further. They asked for 371a% of all
revenues from the development of
mineral resources in the outer area,
an area which in some cases lies as
far as 200 miles from the shore.
Biologists estimate that oil re-
serves alone in the outer area are
worth at least 5000 billion as COM
pared with the $50 billion already
given to the states in the off-shore
oil bill.
During passage OF a bill guaran-
teeing federal ownership and control
of the outer continental shelf area
in the House, Rep. Celler (D-N. W
warned that an attempt would be
made by groups in the coastal states
to grab this wealth too.
Meantime, hearings on bill to turn
federal grazing lands over to private
started with spokesman for
the Department of Interior saying
they would not oppose the measure.
The statement was made by Gerald M.
Kerr of the departments land man
agement bureau and backed up by

subcommittee he hadn't had time to

dio Newsman Elmer Davis chided Nc
Kay, asking if he expects Idaho citi-
zens to journey to Augusta, Maine

nicipal and coop electric systems of

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-

by Assistant Secretary Craig R..

At Hot Springs, Va, the departments

considered a federal sales tax, but
not as anything immediate.
"What frghtens me-" said CHI
CAGO SUN-TIMES financial writer,

FARM STORAGE FACILITY
PROGRAM EXTENDED

Continuation for another year,
through June, 1854, of the govern
ment program to help farmers fl
nance the construction or purchase
of new on-farm storage for grains
and other storable commo ODDITIES has
been announced.
Under this storage facility loan
program, farmers may secure Com
modify Credit Corporation loans up
to 80 per cent of the cost of the
structure. The program was initiated
in June, 1949.
Details of the extended program
are similar to those of the program
now in effect. Structures on which
loans are made must meet require
ments for eligible storage under the
price support program. Loans are pay
able in four annual installments or
earlier at the option of the borrower.
The first installment is payable IL
months after the loan is discussed
and interest remains at a per cent a
year.
Loans are available through local
lending agencies or from Production
and Marketing Administration county
committees. Interested operators may
secure necessary information and
forms from the County PIMA office.

UNThINkABLE THAT VETS HOSPITAL
PROGRAM SHOULD BE CUT BACK

ing. AS part of the general economy
campaign, the Administration through
the Budget Bureau cut $279 million
from the so-called Truman budget
for the Veterans Administration dur
ing the year beginning July 1. This
reduction includes $50 million from
the 1921 million requested by Presi-
dent Truman for the VA medical and
hospital fund.
AS result, Veterans Administra-
ton experts figure they'll have to
close six or seven veterans hospitals.
They say 1890 beds will have to be
closed in addition to nearly $500 al
ready held inactive because of lack
of funds.
VA officials have prepared list
of hospitals from which those to be
closed may be selected. The Veterans
hospital at Miles City is reported to
be on that list.

Free enterprise is not always sus-
picious of government intervention,

House appropriations subcommittee
in Washington show.
Several years ago free enterprisers
built bridge between Decatur, Neb.

built over dry river bed after the
Missouri River had changed it's course
during a flood. They expected the
river to come back to it's original

But the river stayed away. Own

$4,000 VETS ON HOSPITAL
WAITING LISTS

1t is estimated that more than a.
900 veterans, i'll and disabled, are on
VA hospital waiting lists. Admins
tration leaders have been warned
that under the present limitations,
the VA cannot open IL new hospitals
next year without cutting back or
wrecking operations in existing hos
pitfalls. The VA says the 500 million
cut bringing the figure to nearly
$14 million less than in the budget
for this year, is too deep to be alb
sorbed by closing a few beds or
few wards here and there.
Unless the cut is restored, the VA
has two equally-bad alternatives: %
close 1890 beds in addition to near
ly 1890 already matchmaking

passengers as nuisances. A
