'Lunacy Counsel

The full nine-man bench of
the United States Court Of APP
Ipeals for the District of Column
bia yesterday was asked to re-
view a recent ruling by a three
judge division of the court. which
hac neld that individuals at
Mental Health Commission
hearings must be represented by
counsel.
The petition for review was
flee by United States Attorney
Oliver Gasch.
Delays and possible injury OF
damage to the patient or his
'amily may result If an attorney
must be appointed in every ease
before the commission" Mr.
Gasch's petition stated.
Adversary hearings will dis
place calm and impartial DELHI
grafton by an experienced and
impartial commission acting
primarily for the welfare OF the
patient" he said. The recent
ruling he termed "a step back
ward in the field of mental
health"
The commission is composed oil
two psychiatrists and a lawyer
chairman. The presence Of the
latter, Mr.. Gasch said, insures
orderly procedure and fairness

The owner of property, both

is the way county officials as

InuuquroI Weather

Having been actively as
ISOLATED with seven inaugural
committees and general chair
man Of one, I wish to heartily
commend Gould Lincoln for
his suggestion that inaugural
rites be in the spring. The
traditional inaugural has be-
come a tremendous show OF
international import and it re-
quires the earnest and loyal
support of hundreds of citizens
and the expenditure of close
to a million dollars.
For the second Roosevelt
inaugural we felt that for
weather protection the stands
should be covered, but the vio-
lent storm Of that day forced
the rain into the stands and
while the parade went on it
was a terrible ordeal. The
Truman inaugural was held
under a cloudless sky-cold but
clear--but the next day there
was a violent snow and sleet
storm and it was quite obvious
that the inaugural would have
been ruined if the bad weather
had moved forward even
few hours.
For all of the gigantic effort
required for a successful in
augural it is indeed a gamble
with a midwinter day which
can be good or bad and is
frequently bad.
Perhaps few realize that an
inaugural committee is faced
with the cost of the Presidents
parade reviewing stand, the
seats for the many dignitaries
who are invited to attend and
the cost of television facilities.
Certainly these are phases of
inaugural expense which
should be borne by congress
Sional appropriation.
Gould Lincoln is to be
heartily congratulated for sug-
costing a change in date more
in keeping with good weather
and making the inaugural af-
fair more of a certainty and
less of a gamble.

go further. 1t is badly needed
to give the region the economic
stability so badly needed The
region now suffers from chron-
ic unemployment from fall to
early spring. So. for example,
Oregon and Idaho presently
have the highest rates of un-
employment in the country,
with Washington and Montana
close behind.
We need year-round indus
try and so does the Nation.
This may not impress The Star
as it presides over the Capital
whose principal export is ad-
miniStration propagan d a.
Other sections of the country
have more valuable products
and need the markets that new
purchasing power in my region
would provide. That consumer
potential requires new private
industry, which requires low
cost power.
Under partnership" power
costs are inflated in order to
pay exorbitant interest rates
to bankers. This factor will
increase the cost of Priest
Rapids power by at least 81
per cent. Federal Hell's Can
yon power would cost 1855
mills as compared to an opti-
mistic estimate of 81 mills for
Idaho Power Company cleo

were almost tripled, I daresay
The Star editorial board would
understand this difference.
But even DR.. Pearls opti-
mism over normal" load

increase, but local public agen-

Tight Money to Stoy
A While; Martin Says

The Governments tight
money" policy appears safe for a
while. despite insistent demands
that credit be loosened.
William McChesney Martin,
jr., chairman of the Federal Re-
serve Board, declared here yes
Iterday he sees no reason for a
change at this time.
Mr.. Martin made clear, in an
address to the National Press
Club, that the current policy is
based on the law of supply and
demand. He added that it is no
more possible to get away from
that precept than to attempt a
change in the law of gravity.
Formula Can't Figure Lull
The Federal Reserve chief held
that no one can tell at a given
moment whether the United
States is or is not in a business
lull. He asserted there are toe
many factors to consider for the
lGovernment to select a formula
which would assure an economic
Ethiopia.
But. he said. it is possible by
following a passive" credit pol
icy to ascertain which way the
wind blows. then act accordingly
Mr.. Martin warned that Con-
gress land others" should be
prepared for any consequences
| If an effort is made to ignore the
principles Of the law Of supply
and demand.
I'm not saying you can't do 1t
(change policy" he said. I'm
saying you had better be pre-
pared for the alternatives"
The theme Of Mr.. Martins
speech was that the American
people should remain on guard
against initiation. He agreed
that general controls by the Gov
eminent put the bite" on some
citizens and some segments OF
business. But he said controls
would be of no value unless they
did just that. He defended gen.
eral controls as an effective way
to combat initiation.
Martin Comments
There are as million small
businesses" he pointed out
obviously. more small firms will
be affected than large bust

Mr.. Martin asserted that in
flation is not inevitable, as many
persons claim. He said the coun-
try would face disaster If 1t
hauled down the flag in the
battle against imitation.
He also said he did not favor
a recession but thought it might

Power in Northwest

80" 800
Your February 26 editorial,
Power in the Northwest"
gives an inaccurate and dis
torted picture of water re-
source development. In it you
aver that q Wall Street Jour-
nal article pulls the rug out
from under" advocates of
Federal multipurpose dam
construction in the Pacific
Northwest.
Your choice Of q source
which serves the bankers and
financial interests allied with
the private utilities demon
Strates your editorial bias. The
Journal can hardly be ex-
pected to present a complete
picture of what is needed in
the area or a rounded pres
entation Of the adequacy of
private utility projects.
For example, neither the
Journal report" nor your edi-
torial even mentions the des-
perate need in the Columbia
River Basin for flood control
storage. Only last month flood
waters damaged the Idaho
Power Company dam construc-
ton in the Hell's Canyon reach
of the Snake River. The real
flood season lies ahead and
high water this early holds
the threat of a major flood in
late spring.
Indeed, last spring a dis
astrous flood was narrowly
averted by a combination of
lucky weather and the timely
operation of the mammoth
Federal Grand Coulee Dam.
We cannot expect to be so
lucky again.
The administrations oppo-
sition to a Federal high Hell's
Canyon dam, If finally sue
ceSSful, would deny to the
region 400, 900 acre feet of
water storage as compared
with the 1,O00,0 900 acre feet in
the Idaho Power Company
plan" Attempts to obtain
adequate storage at other sites
are difficult to impossible. The
so-called partnership Priest
Rapids project has meant
elimination or delay of 2,0O0,-
900 acre feet of food control
storage.
In 1913, the Columbia food
at Vanport wiped out the
community of 10000. Luckily,
the damage occurred on a
holiday when families were
away from home and loss of
life was held to a minimum.
As population and property
become more dense in the
Columb ia food area the
potential of food damage
grows.
Similarly, the finance orr
ented Journal makes no men,
ton Of the need for public
power revenues for future
irrigation and reclamation.
Private or local projects do
not provide such assistance.
Yet in a few decades greatly
expanded agricultural capac-
ity will be needed to feed our
growing Nation.
Nor are you and the Wall
Street Journal correct in re-
lying upon the supposed pre-
diction of DR.. Pearl, this ad-
ministation's Bonneville Power
Administrator, that a power
shortage has been rolled back
to 1864 or 1865.
As my colleague, Senator
Neuberger. pointed out to the
Senate on February %, the
Oregonian Of December 2, 1856
reported DR.. Pearl as saying
that mo additional power will
be available for electro-process
plants during the next 10
years on the basis of present
scheduled generation"

noted. however, there would be
no serious power deficits for
other commercial, industrial
and domestic consumption I'M
