STRONG FARM ECONOMY
ESSENTIAL

A strong farm economy with high
purchasing power on the farms is
essential to national defense. Yet
farm incomes are falling off while
the costs of farm equipment and of
farm family living are mounting daily.
Farm parity laws are due to expire
and Democratic farm programs are
being hamstrung. The Republicans
seem content to meet this situation
with words rather than action. They
threaten to throw the farmer on the
mercy of the market place.
We intend to force this issue in
1854. We will demand action. Ac-
ton to assure parity prices for the
farmer-100 per cent parity by law,
and no evasive talk about getting
it in the market place" Parity prices
on the farm, guaranteed markets
abroad, and reasonable prices for the
consumer at home. These will all be
issues in the Congress and in the
campaign.
Others, equally important, | can
only mention. We are determined
to halt the giving away of our ma
tural resources and the attacks on
the rural identification program.
We must do everything possible to
force the admins trat ion to live up
to its promise to improve labor
management relations. A n d we
must move to protect the small
business man and the home build
err from the menace of those high
err interest rates which are threat
ening our entire economy.
All Of these will be issues in 1854.
Over and beyond them will be one
great issue troubling mems minds
which | hope and pray will not become
a partisan issue. refer to Americas

THOUSAND MILES OF
TRAILS I'm GLACIER PARK

At the present time there are H.
OOO miles of trails in Glacier nation
al park, according to J. w. Emmert,
superintendent. There were 10000
people who walked on these trails
during the past summer.
For persons making longer trail
Trips there are food caches along the
way which are water proof and bear,
proof, says Mr.. Emmert. Food can
be sent to these caches in advance,
by persons who are travelling the
trall. He said there are also shelters
and pointed out that Gunsight shelf
er IS a popular place for persons
taking thfee-day hiking trip. EN-
inert says that there is also an over
night camping place at Sperry.

travel for the 1853 season will reach

Re: Downstream Benefits From Publicly Built Dams .
POWER TRUST GETS THE PLUkAS,
PEOPLE GET THE BILLS

Now, Washington Water Power
will, under the law pay something
for this "'headwater benefit" So will
other beneficiaries. How much de-
ponds upon the determination now be-
ing worked out.
This reminds me of the Roanoke
River.
Congress approved comprehen-
sive plan for development of the river
in Virginia and North Carolina. The
plan included IL federal dams, most
of which were intended not only to
produce cheap public power but also
to control floods. The upstream dams
would serve as reservoirs to hold flood
waters and release them. gradually
to the farthest downstream dam, at
Roanoke Rapids. This lowest dam was
the key unit of the lot. 1t was strict
ly for power production.
The Virginia Electric and Power
Co., referred to as "Vepco" back
here, saw Roanoke Rapids as a fat
plum. Vepco got an FPC license to
build the dam. The Department of
Interior, under the previous Demo-
cratic administration, and the Virginia
REA Association, protested the Ii
cense.
With the change in Administration
early this year, the new Secretary of
Interior said he did not see why
Vepco should not be allowed to build
Roanoke Rapids. Later, the U. S. Su-
preme Court ruled by vote of to
3 that adoption of the comprehensive
development plan did not preclude pri-
vate development of the site, Gus
todian of which was the FPC.
In the dissent to the majority de-
cision it was pointed out that the
upstream storage was worth 100000
a year at Roanoke Rapids. Quoting
from the dissent:
THAT 100000 of value is Gre
ated by the taxpayers of this coun-
try. Though it derives from invest
ment of Federal funds, it will now
be appropriated by private power
groups for their own benefit. The |
master plan now becomes clear:
The Federal government will put
up the auxiliary units-the un-
profitable ones; and the private
power interests will take the plums
the choice ones
In other words, the private powerf
will get the dams we
axpayers will get the bills.

Bv LEE METCALF

So far in arguments over whether
public or private agencies shall de
velop our water power l have seer
very little on the cash value of a pow,
eli dam site due to the presence up
stream of one or more federal stor.
age dams.
This is due in part to the fact
that putting price tag on such
''headwater benefits" is a tremend-
ously complicated process. The Bon
neville Power Administration, Fed
eral Power Commission, Bureau of
Reclamation and the private power
companies are at work now on a
''headwater benefit determination" in
the Columbia Basin. The downstream
value of Canyon Ferry is part of an
other such study.
1t will be months before we get
determinations anywhere in our area,
but there are some rule-of-thumb fig
ures.
To begin, upstream regulatory Stor-
age dams maintains the river flow
year-round using the flood waters
trapped and skinned off in the
spring. An increase of continuous
flow downstream usually is an in
crease in the power production capa-
bility of the plants below storage
dams. A rule of thumb, according
to Federal Power Commission engi-
neers, is that this latter increase has
a value of roughly $16.50 per year
for every kilowatt added plus 335
mills per kilowatt hour of energy
produced.
Now we get specific. The De-
Tense Electric Power Administra-
ton estimates the storage behind
Hungry Horse Dam available to
the Washington Water Power Com
pany's downstream Cabinet Gorge
dam at about ESQ million kilowatt
hours annually"
Multiply the Defense Electric Pow
er Administration estimate by the
Federal Power Commission rate-25O
million by 3.35 mills-and you come
up with 1897, 500 a year, a rule-of-
thumb figure of the value to all down.

in proportion to the

From CIO-PAC PIPELINE

How President Eisenhower agreed
to changes in the Hartley law
and then changed his mind was de-
scribed in detail to the AFL con-
vention last week by former Sec
rotary of Labor Martin Durkin. 1t
was the Presidents change of mind
that led to Durkins resignation from
| the cabinet.
Durkin related the series of con-
ferences which led up to the final
drafting of 10 amendments to the
anti-labor law. The conferences were
held with members of the White
House staff and the ''fact was made
clear that they were regularly ac-
0uainting the President with develop
ments . and that all of our meet
ings were continuing with full know
ledge and consent of the President"
Durkin said.
The decision was made to send the
proposed amendments to Congress on
July 81, Durkin went on, but on that
day Senator Taft died. Durkin said
he was informed by the White House
that it had been decided to post
pone the message but that no changes
were to be made in the 10 points
agreed upon.
On August 3, the message was
leaked" to the Wall Street Jour
nal and substantial public opposi-
ton to it was developed. Durkin
al IL
was reluctant to go through with
the message.
On August 10, Durkin said, he met
with the President alone in New York
and discussed the leak of the mess
age on the 10 point agreement to
the Wall Street Journal. We further
agreed that the leak in no way lessen
ed the need for releasing the agreed
to 10 points even though Congress
was no longer in session. He fully
agreed to my position and never at |
any time in our conversation raised |
any questions on the agreement as
a whole or on any one of the 10 |
agreed-to amendments. He agreed |
Cll1I VIC ollOulu SO llSIL duedu.
The White House staff, however,
still refused to go ahead with the
message, Durkin said, and on Aug

held and the White House staff re-
fused to go along on the 10 agreed-to
