Senate e 4. Group j May
Study Giant Power

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(REI)-
Senators James Murray Mont
Richard Neuberger (Ore.) and Johr
Carroll (Clo.) recently urged Con
gress to make a two-year investiga
tion of the electric supply and re.
gional transmission facilities in the
United States and to follow-up with g
recommendation of Legislation to as
sure development and organization
of bulk power supply :"
The study IS. Res. III would look
specifically into power links between
Bonneville Powe r Administration,
Missouri River Basin projects and the
Central Valley or Pacific Gas and
Electric system in California.
Murray called for a "giant power
grid" particularly in the western
states to produce the greatest eff
cheney and economy in power pro-
duction.
The giant power" aspect, outlined
by Murray, is similar to proposals
long urged by former Federal Power
Commission Chairman Leland Olds.
The Murray study might come up
with such recommendation. If it
follows the Olds giant power pro-
oosal, it would provide for regional
grid systems under federal control
and operation.
The resolution may possibly set the
stage for one of the biggest congress
sional battles between the commercial
power forces and advocates of abund-
ant, low cost power. Although the
Murray proposal calls for a "compre-
hensive survey" only, private utility
spokesmen repeatedly see it as new
wedge into the power industry by
federal power advocates.
NRECA's membership passed res
olution at their recent 18th annual
meeting in Washington supporting
The Murray resolution. Meanwhile, |
Res. II has been referred to the SEN
ate Interior Committee of which Muir
'ay is chairman.

as a focal point. Pointing out that
the rival union "has attempted to di-
vide and disrupt our union and all
workers in our industry during the
period of bargaining the past
several years :" the convention
expressed complete confidence that
"Mine-Mill and other unions will, as
they have in the past, reject and de-
stroy this repeated attempt by Steel
to disrupt bargaining :"
Another resolution of particular
Importance to Montana urges re-
versal of the 1853 congressional
policy resolution No. 108 which
has for it's purpose the termina-
ton of (Indisn) obligations and
treaties with the apparent objec-
tive of selling the reservation lands
to selfish monopoly industrial in
terests ;"
Pointing out that Mine-Mill "has
among its membership large numbers
of Indian people and many whose
families still reside upon reservations
supposedly under the sovereign juris-
diction of elected tribal councils"
the convention requests each of it's
local unions to vigorously support |
Sen. Murray's current policy resolu-
tion on Indian affairs which will, if |
adopted by the Congress, void No.

holding down the rates of the private
power companies in the last six years,
in checking legislation which would
virtually put many public power prof.
ects out of business, and which would
cripple, to say the least, the far-flung
system of about 1000 rural electric
co-operatives.
Revenues from the sale of electric
energy in the United States run to
more than So billion a year-and
probably would be considerably high
er were it not for the activities of
|ECIC.
Many millions of dollars yearly
have been spent by private utilities
in a national propaganda campaign
attacking public power. If this tre-
mendous effort had not been obsti-
nately resisted by ECIC it is virtually
certain that the partnership policy"
of the present federal administration
would have removed the competition
of low-cost public power, and private
rates would have skyrocketed.
And the rural electric co-operatives
throughout the land would be fight
ing losing battle, instead of a win
ming one, against the Vaccinations
of the private companies working
closely with Administration personnel
to stifle cooperative activity.
WHAT is ECIC?
What is this ECIC about which
the public knows SO little and to
which it owes SO much?
1t is loosely organized committee
farm and cooperative |
labor unions, and pub
lie power organizations, all with an
intense interest in the production and
of electric energy at the
lowest possible rates. All of them re-
gard an abundant supply of low-cost
electrical energy as one of the dy
1amic driving forces in our modern
society. Low-cost public and co-opera-
i've power by multiplying the pro-
luctive capacity of the worker makes
high wages possible, and hence mass
production and distribution of mod
,rn products.
Actual membership in the ECIC
lumbers only 22 organizations. But
larger number contribute to its s
perating funds. According to its
ixth annual report, soon to be re-
eased, 13 labor organizations con- t
ributed $22,855 to it's treasury in
he fiscal year ended last June 80. {
hose contributing amounts of more {
han 81 900 each were: Committee on S
'olitical Education, $4,000; Indus |
rial Union Department AFL-CIO, t

PLAYING FOR HIGH STAKES
The stakes of many of these COM
ponent organizations, of course. are
enormous. The rural electric coop
eratives throughout the United States,
for instance, own properties worth
around $4 billion dollars, in which
they have an equity of around $4O0
million through amortization of gov
ernment loans, frequently in advance
of official schedules. =.
One public utility district in the
State of Washington owns properties
valued at more than $500 million.
This is what the private utilities
call socialism and are fighting tooth
and nail. This is what the people
served by public power and co-opera-
tive power are defending as almost
the only effective check they have
upon the avarice of private power
companies-and the political corrup-
ton which they breed.
There is nothing mysterious about
the operations of ECIC, although
comparatively few have been able
to comprehend how it can WELD so
much influence. The fact is that it
operates as a center for the exchange
of information and ideas-and that
is all. Many of its component groups
act directly as lobbying organiza-
tions on their own, but not all of
them.
A COMMON PURPOSE
However, the result of developing
a common purpose and objective has
an enormous effect, because of the
nationwide grassroots of the organi-
cations involved. The National Rural
Electric Co = operative Association
alone through its far-flung member
ship represents electric meters in
some million farms and homes in
nearly every state. The APPA mem
,ership includes some of the largest
power systems in the coun-
ry with more millions of energy
lsers. The labor unions, of course,
each still more millions.
Some of these organizations have
operating attorneys upon their staffs
killed in analyzing and drafting leg

ions, speaking for many millions.
is that fact, rather than the miser-
bly, small budget of $61,897 in fis-
al 1858, which largely made it pos
ible for them to hold the private
tilities in check during an Admins
ration in which private companies
ave been flagrantly aided by Off
ialdom as they were in the Dixon
ates deal.
The list of accomplishments in the
ublic interest of ECIC is long one.
ut the list of bills on public and
tonic energy resources pending be-
,re the Congress today also is long.
/ connection with each bill there is
,nflict between the interests of en-
.gy consumers, and the interests of
-ivate power. The sixth report of
CIC lists the electric energy issues
