Wayne Montgomery held his
coming-out party Monday al
his Helena campaign head
quarters next to the Mint sa-
loon. 1t was a 'tiddly" with
sandwiches and coffee in front
and cold refreshments behind
the curtain.
Wayne took himself very seriously
as candidates are sometimes prone
to do. He is blowing big money into
his bid for the Republican nominal
ton, aimed at unseating Congress
man Arnold Olsen this fall. The mon
ey will be quite impressive to other
Republican hopefuls and may scare
them out of filing for the normally
Democratic western district.
Tom Collins, Planning Board di-
rector, was asked if his presence at
the ''tiddly'' was an indication that
he did not intend to run. He said that
he was going to stay on the Planning
Board.
Telephone and power company
representatives paid their respects to
Wayne and some of Helena's ladies
nodded their approval of Wayne as
he professed love for dogs which
are being abused by the Helena city
fathers.
When asked if he was going to
have any other program besides the
patriotic kick he said that he would
handle such as they came up. That
may be very smart politics not to be
caught with an issue of any sort but
why should he be given congressman's
pay if he only has the flag and mother
on his mind.

PRIVATE CLUBS AND
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A spokesman for the Kennedy Ad-
ministration described Washington
recently as an ''insular city, far re-
moved from political reality, with
high officials and newsmen alike,
insulated" from popular opinion
around the country.
There is no disputing the factathat
Washingtonians tend to become in
bred, that newspapermen spend too
much time interviewing each other
and that many in government are
"out of touch" with popular senti-
ment.
On the other hand, the spokesman
said, President Kennedy has avoided
this pitfall by travelling around, the
country, by meeting local editors and
by reading reports from the Demo-
Gratis regional conferences where the
politicians get some idea of what
concerns the general public.
1t is always good fun to pick on
Washington because the huge bureau
cracy lends itself to the role of scape-
goat. Anyone who has ever had to fill
out federal form hates the bureau
Gratis with their tricky questions. Of
course, everyone who has paid his
income tax automatically detests the
government anyhow. ~ Iie
So to picture Neutrality-suspicious. as
remote, distant and theoretical salts
fies a popular prejudice and really
hurts no one.
Right now the city is in turmoil
because some obstreperous people,
like Attorney General Kennedy and
others, insist they will not belong to
private mems clubs that bar Negroes
and other minorities. Defenders of
the status quo have been quick to
call this the ''new demagoguery'' and
even to note that the President has
been an honorary member of one
club that has been racially restricted
for years, without anyone voicing
concern about it.
This dispute makes good news
paper copy. 1t confirms the widely
held feeling that Washingtonians
are breed apart who are not only
ignorant of the facts of life, but
snobs as well.
Disturbing a self-satisfied man in
his private club is always pleasant
exercise. The Union League Club of
New York was for years the special
target of cartoonists. That Washing
ton clubs, whose membership is COM
prised of so many men of eminence,
have seemed out of spirit with the
times gives everyone else a chance
to feel virtuous.
The Administration is now clearly
on record as opposed to stuffed shirts.
This is all to the good. Now let's go

on to something that affects the
whole country.
| wonder. if there is not an ele-
ment of "insularity" in all this furore
over the private clubs? After all, how
many people "belong" to such clubs?
Suppose that Carl Rowan is admitted
will that get an adequate educa-
tion for Negro child in Chicago?
AS l recall it, Secretary of Labor
Goldberg was the first man to open
this Pandora's Box, in an oblique
reference to the Metropolitan Club
which shuts it's doors to African dip
lomats. For bringing the issue to the
fore, the Secretary deserves congTat-
ulations.
1t would be interesting now to
find some man high in the Admin
istration who was willing to take
on more substantial issue, viz.
how to get federal funds for the
public schools.
At his recent news conference, the
President talked about getting more
scientists to keep up with the Rus
slams. House Speaker Mccormack,
who had a big part in killing the pub
lie school bill last year, now says lie
will go all-out for the relatively nom
controversial bill to aid colleges, ~
=, But neither the President nor. the
Speaker will promise to go all out
for bill that aids public education.
The "word" ON Capitol Hill is that
such an effort is hopeless. Possibly
it is, but until a real effort is made
to do something we shall never know.
AS an example, the President and
the Speaker might call on Congress
man James Delaney of Queens, who
blocked action last year. Cardinal
Cushing of Boston has already made
some constructive suggestions. But
mo one seems to be picking them up
or doing anything except to say how
''touchy'' this subject is and why
school aid is ''too hot to handle"
Of course, this is a difficult issue.
The feeling of Catholic Church Off
cials that rising costs are providing
an unbearable burden is completely
But the basic fact is that while
a man may wait for another year
to be admitted to a private club
a youngster cannot wait for an
other year to go to school. If the
youngsters who are now six, seven,
eight or nine years old are "edu-
cated'' in rattle-trap buildings by
unhappy and underpaid teachers,
the damage is done.
When the Administration bestirs
itself in behalf of public schools, as
It has in opening private clubs, then
The rest of the country may come to
feel that the District of Columbia is
lot enemy territory.

PRESENT INTERTIE MAXIMIZE
HUNGRY HORSE BENEFITS

The first intertie connects the Hun.
cry Horse project with Grand Coulee
Dam. 1t enables Hungry Horse to be
fits to Montana.
This is accomplished by shutting
down the Hungry Horse generators
in the summer and importing Grand
Coulee power, of which there is a
large summertime surplus, to carry
Montana loads. Then in the winter
the Hungry Horse project is operated
at maximum capacity, utilizing both
the winter flow of water and the
water that was stored during the
summer months. This increases the
amount of energy that Hungry Horse
can put out in the winter over and
above the production it would be
capable of without the intertie with
Grand Coulee.
It is estimated that Hungry Horse
Dam, as an isolated project, would
provide about 10000 kilowatts Of
benefits to Montana. But as result
of this interconnection, Montana has
been credited with benefits from Hun
cry Horse Dam of 221,O00 kilowatts.
These are the facts which enabled
BPA to enter into the contract with
Anaconda Aluminium Company.
The second intertie was built by
BPA between Spokane and the City
of Anaconda. This line has made it
possible for BPA to enter into the
contract with Victor Chemical Com
pany to build its large phosphate re-
duction plant at Silver Bow.
This line also made it possible
for BPA to sign contract to de-
liver $4,000 XIV to Montana Power
Company. And this, in turn, re-
suited in an arrangement whereby

rate enables Montana to offset GER

result from Montana's interior geo.

WILL STAVE OFF
RATE INCREASE

1t is obvious, therefore, that any
portion of unsold power in the region
which can be marketed elsewhere
would improve BPA's financial condi-
ton and stave off the day when an
increase in our rates might become
necessary. This is of major import
ance to Montana and the rest of the
Pacific Northwest.
AS our region acquires more stor-
age and as we turn to steam genera
tion, as we will have to do by the
mid-1970s, we will be able to firm
up our own secondary power and
use it here. After 1880 the amount
of secondary power available for ex-
port will be negligible. But even after
that the intertie will produce sub
stantial benefits to BPA and the
region.
This is because of the diversity in
peak loads between California and
the Northwest-the difference in the
time of the year when each region
needs power the most. The Northwest
has winter peak. California and
the Southwest have summer peak
mainly for irrigation and air condi-
tioning.
Without, an intertie, each region
would have to have sufficient gener-
alton to meet it's own peak loads.
By exchanging power back and
forth, California's winter surplus
generating capacity can be used
to help supply Northwest peak de-
mand, and the Northwest's sum-
ner surplus generating capacity
can be used to meet California's
summer peak demand. This can
result in savings in plant invest
ment, in the two regions, greater
than the cost of the lines.
This form of pooling of resources,
incidentally, has been used in the
Northwest for a number of years
with very beneficial results.
Montana already enjoys the bene-
fits of pooling within the region by
virtue of two interties built by BPA
in the early 1950s.

LEGISLATION WILL ASSURE
PRIORITY
Such protective legislation will as
sure that the interests of the Pacific
Northwest (roughly the Columbia
Basin drainage area) will be fully
preserved and that the region will
have permanent priority to the cleo
trio power and energy now and here
after generated on it's rivers and
streams. This so-called ''pull back"
regional preference will guarantee
that any power consumer in the Pa
cific Northwest-public or private,
industry or utility-has first call on
both firm power and secondary power
generated at federal plants in the
Northwest ahead of any customer in
the Pacific Southwest. Such legisla-
tion is already drafted and is to be
submitted to the Congress before any
request is made for funds to con-
struct the interconnection.
Because the benefits of an intertie
are so substantial and the need is so
great, Congress should be urged to
pass legislation to assure. electric
consumers in the Pacific Northwest
and Pacific Gouthwest first call upon
the hydroelectricity generated in
their respective regions and to appro-
pirate funds for preliminary design
and planning work.
With the public support it de-
serves, the intertie will become a
reality and Montana and the rest
of the Pacific Northwest will reap
its benefits.

MUST HAVE NEW SOURCES
OF FIRM ENERGY

However, BPA's ability to continue
to sell additional blocks of low-cost
power in Montana depends on new
sources of firm energy and on main
tenance of BPA's low power rates.
The proposed intertie, which would
consist of one or more extra-hign
voltage transmission lines stretching
from the Columbia River to Los An
geles, would help both our power
supply and our low rate structure.
1t will increase BPA's net reve-
nues by some $6,OOO,O 900 to $15,-
000,o0O per year, thus going a long
way toward enabling BPA to main
tain its low rates for many years
in the future. 1t will add some
100000 to 4O0,O0 kilowatts of
firm power to the Northwest's sup
ply for industrial growth.
The increased firm power will
come from shipment north of off
peak California steam power to
"firm up" a substantial amount of
our present large surplus of second
ary power.
Firm power is the type of power
that, can be generated even in years
of the lowest streamflow of record.
1t can be guaranteed for delivery
day in and day out, year in and year
out. This is the kind of power for
which industries clamor and for which
a ready market exists throughout the
Northwest, including Montana.
Secondary power is power that is
produced under better than critical
streamflow conditions. Some years
we have a lot of it, some years very
little. 1t cannot be guaranteed for
delivery when it is needed. Some in
dustries are peculiarly adapted to
use some of this kind of power; they
can shut down part of their plants |
when it is not available. But most |
industries cannot use it and we have |
large quantity of secondary power |
that goes unsold here in the North |
west.
Secondary power can be "firmed |
up by increased storage to regulate
river flow, or by use of steam to fill
in gaps of streamflow. 1t is by the
latter method that the proposed inter-
tie would help our region firm up
to 100000 kilowatts of sec
ondary power. For economic and
technical reasons this is the maxi
mum secondary that can be firmed
up by an intertie.

INTERTIE WILL FIRM UP"
BPA REVENUES

Even after we firm up this amount
of secondary, we will still have large
amounts of secondary power that
cannot be sold here in the region
until we get storage or steam to firm
it up. 1t is the sale of this surplus
secondary power plus sale of surplus
peaking capacity that, in the early
years of an intertie, will produce the
large increases in BPA net revenues.
While there is only a limited mar
ket in this region for secondary pow
er, large quantities of it can be sold
in California for industries, but
for utilities to use as substitute
for higher cost steam generation.
Industries in California cannot use
it any more than industries in the
Northwest can because it's avail
ability cannot be guaranteed.
But utilities can use it because
thew have steam plants that can
be shut down while our lower cost
q secondary is available and started
up again when it is not available,
4 without any interruption of serv-
ice. These utilities therefore can
cut their costs-although not near
ly enough to become competitive
without Northwest power rates
but thew cannot increase their loads
without secondary. We gain, in the
meantime, by getting revenues
from power that we cannot sell
here.
