Mr.. Davis defended the admin
istration's policy of turning over
Federal power control in some
areas to private control and said
the administration doesn't be-
lieve in the complete federaliza-
ton of either land or water re-
sources in the United States.
eff the Democratic philosophy
for development had been APP
piled from the beginning" he
said, "all the people west of the
Alleghenies would be tenants Of
the greatest Federal bureaucracy
you've ever seen in your life"
Mr.. Straus said the present
administrations program is be-
ing substituted for established
policies and laws dedicated to
conservation, full development,
anti-monopoly consumer pro-
lection and prudent use.
AS an example, he pointed out
that plans were killed for the
Federal construction Of dam
at Hells Canyon.
."By numerous acts the ad-
ministration advocated giving
away this priceless dam site to
the Idaho Power Co.," he de-
clared, "for it's incomplete devel-
opment of less than the full
potential to produce fewer kilo-
watts selling at higher COST"
Mr.. Strauss said the juStifica-
ton for this was that it would
encourage private enterprise "al-
though it happened that not one
of the 10 principal stockholders
of the receptive Idaho Power Co.
happened to be located within
500 miles of the SITE"

nical assistance program being
carried out today will affect the

for which he is so well known.
A long time advocate that
young offenders need the kind Of
help that can only be given on
an individual basis. he declared:
There has been lot of progress
in the understanding of human
behavior. but the most profound
rehabilitating force in the world
today is that one individual
cares enormously for another in-l
dividual."
Mr.. Shaw said it sometimes
wasn't easy to work with juve-
nile offenders, particularly the
more hardened, but added:
There isn't any easy solution
to- this problem of delinquency.
You've got to care and sweat
with these fellows. You've really
got to get next to them. You've
got to spend and be spent.
There's no short cut"
A Bostonian who has lived in
Washington since 1917, except
when on foreign service duty,
Mr.. Shaw became interested in
the rehabilitation of young law

Voters Group
Hears Debate
On Security

Philip B. Perlman, former
Solicitor General, last night
charged that the Governments
Employees Security Program has
introduced brutal and undemo-
cratic procedures into the adj
miniStrative machinery of gov
eminent which opens the way
for abuses inherent in police
state rule.
At the same time, j. Walter
Yeagley, of the Criminal Divi-
sion of the Justice Department.
defended the security program as
'the only manner in which the
Government can safely protect
ITSELF from the dangers of COM
munist inf1ltration.
Mr.. Perlman and Mr.. Yeagley
spoke at the final session of the
18th annual all-day school Spon-
sored by the District League of
Women Voters at the Hotel Stat
Ter. The evening sessions topic
was The New Security
Program.
ITO attempt to equate all
manner of undesirable behavior
with the most serious offenSes
against the government" Mr..
Perlman asserted, f" is to manu-
facture and use device devaS-
tating in its consequences to all
those who are involuntarily sep
arated from Government en-
ployment."
He said that the suspension
of employees without notice or
pay and summary action which
raises a presumption of guilt,
which is foreign to the principles
on which the Nation was
founded, "opens the way for
abuses inherent in the rule of
q dictatorship in police state"
Mr.. Perlman asserted that the
new security program has gene
rated "a climate of suspicion and
worry"
1T has helped to spread fear
and smear in private as we'll as
public employment throughout
the land" he declared.
Mr. Yeagley took issue with
Mr.. Perlman's views during a
question period following the
talks.
IF you want to feel secure
against the threat of devious
communist movement, not know
ing when or where it will STRIKE"
he warned, you've got to have
a security risk program"
In his talk, Mr.. Yeagley pointed
out that the Communist Party
in recent years has been too
smart to infiiltrate the Federal
Government with known Com
muniStS. Instead, he explained,
it has employed its underground
members for the continuation of
its work, thus increasing the
Government difficulties in seek
ing them out.
He defended the Government
programs inclusion of "other I'M
desirables" as security risks. "A
good Government security pro-
gram is comparable to a good
personnel program designed to
select reliable and trustworthy
employees" he said, adding that
in no sense is it similar or COM
parable to a criminal trial"
when the cure is inadequate
the only alternative is to pre-
scribe rigid preventive measures"
he continued. THE purpose of
the new security program is to
prevent the loss of Government
secrets"
Mrs. John F. Latimer, league
president, opened the session and
introduced the speakers.
The all-day program opened
with a discussion on the De
velopment of Our Natural Re-
sources" by speakers represent
ing both the Republican and
Democratic viewpoints.

and is attaining very satisfactory
results.
It is in this area of the world,

necessary"
