THE LEADER TRIBUNE Thuridajr, April 30, 1953
YOU and
YOUR
CONGRESS
WASHINGTON—A clash over de¬
velopment of the nation’s natural
mources is coming up in Con
frets.
The hottest subject will be elec¬
tric power.
On one side of the argument will
be those who favor federal power
development; on the other, those
Advocating private development.
The battle lines already are be¬
ginning to form around the pow¬
erful House Appropriations Com¬
mittee’s warning that the federal
government should quit competing
with private enterprise in the pow¬
er business.
Any federal project that re¬
quires a Congressional appropria¬
tion of money — and the vast ma¬
jority do — can be killed off by
the Committee.
Most federal power sales are un¬
der the Interior Department. The
Appropriations Committee, in ap¬
proving an Interior Department
Appropriation for the coming fis¬
cal year, declared:
"The Interior Department should
be concerned with only those func¬
tions or activities which private
enterprise cannot or will not un¬
dertake.
"Where private enterprise is
Able to completely develop
es without assistance there should
be a working partnership between
the federal government and pri
vate interests in which the latter
should discharge their obligaions
to the fullest to serve the public
interest and place additional prop
erty on the tax rolls.
<< With respect to construction
Activties, essential and completely
justified projects in the construc¬
tion stage shall be carried to com¬
pletion to avoid waste of federal
funds, but wherever possible,
vate enterprise shall be taken into
partnership to build, own and op
erate that part of each project that
can be handled by private owner
ihip under conditions that

.. In all future projects or new
starts which include transmission
lines, private enterprise shall be
urged to take the initiative in con¬
structing .owning and operating
such works before money is made
available for federal construction.”
That statement, new among of¬
ficial Congressional pronounce¬
ments of recent years, is certain
to draw the fire of those on Cap¬
itol Hill who have advocated such
,f edera i power projects as those
proposed f or Niagara Falls and
Hells Canyon in Idaho on the
Snake River.
Congressional advocates of fed¬
eral construction of the Niagara
Falls project argue that the gov¬
ernment should build it in order to
preserve the natural beauty of the
honeymooners’ shrine. Five private
power companies in the area, who
are ready to build it if permitted
to reply that they really do not
want to wreck one of the country’s
finest, natural wonders and tourist
attractions.
Those in Congress who favor
federal construction of the Hells
Canyon project contend that the
government can do a better job all
around than the Idaho Power Co.,
which denies that contention and
wants federal permission to pro¬
ceed with the project.
The Niagara and Hells Canyon
projects, neither of which has been
settled, represent the full flower¬
ing of a philosophy that took root
back in the days when the federal
government got into the power
business , . sideline ., . j
as a to irrigation
and flood control.
A 1906 act of Congress allowed
the Interior Department’s Bureal
of Reclamation, established four I
years earlier, to lease surplus pow
er or power privileges from reela
mation works. A 1939 act first let i
the Bureau sell power to subsidize
costs of reclamation projects that
had become too great for water
users to repay. A 1944 act broad¬
ened its power sales authority and
the federal government was com¬
peting in both sales and transmis
sion of power with private busi¬
ness on a large scale.
Critics of this trend complained
that in these federal Projects hy
droelectric power development was
overshadowing irrigation, flood
control, recreation and other func
tlons -

power advocates replied, we can

Not cheaper than if we, too,
not required to pay any tax¬
es — and, besides, you sometimes
charge off power production costs
to reclamation or flood control,

space is at a premium, is one of
the latest home laundry appliances
that emphasizes economy in every
sense. ot
One of the main attractions
♦ his new counter-high automatic
washer is that it will hold eight
pounds of clothes, a load equal to
the maximum suggested capacity
of many laiger sized washing ma¬
chines. There is plenty of room for
clothes to circulate freely through
the wash water. Actually, the tub
a large enough to accomodate a 50
pound child with space to spare.
Operation of the washer is sim¬
ple; water temperature is selected,
the machine is started, soap, wash- water
and clothes are added and the
ing time is set bv the turn of a
simple dial. The machine washes,
rinses and damp-dries without
further attention.
A suds-miser attachment (upper
right) that pumps suds and water
into a stationary tub after clothes
arc , washed imd returns it for the
next load is an optional addition at
slight extra cost. This saves up to
half the cost of soap and water,
Sediment is removed from the
water after each washing.
