Opponents Pour Cold Water
On President's CVA Program
gram
p BY PETER EDSON
p NEA Washington Correspondent,
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Fancy shenanigans
are going on around hkere in connection, with the
Columbia Valley Authority plan,
President Truman first tried to get Senate and
House to hold joint hearings on his pet bill to set
up a CVA. He called Senator Dennis Chavez of
New Mexico and Congressman William M. Whit
tington of Mississippi to the White House to talk
about it. They are chairmen of Senate and House
Public Works Committees,
Whittington blocked joint hearings. He said his
committee had so many other things to do it
couldn’t possibly get around to CVA before mid-
June. Truth of the matter is that his committee is
believed to be divided 14 to 13 in favor of CVA,
though Whittington himself is against it. On the
side, Whittington is vice-president of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress. This is the semi
official kingfish in the powerful water lobby,
wh'ich-is opposed to all valley authority plans.
So it was left for Senator Chavez’'s committee to
hold hearings first and alone. As near as can be
figured out this Senate Public Works committee
has only two Democrats in favor of CVA—Chavez
and Senator Sparkmaw of Alabama, a swong TVA
man. The other six Democrats and all five Repub
licans—are against CVA. So it has nomore chance
than any snowball in June on Capitol Hill. Nev
ertheless, the committee will go through the mo
tions of holding CVA hearings.
TfiUMAN BILL FIRST ON DOCKET
" President Truman’s bill will be presented first.
The hearings will then recess the week of June 6.
That will give anti-CVA forces a week in which
to prepare to give it the business during the week
of June 13. ’
"' In the meantime, Chairman Whittington of the
‘House Public Works Committee has made a fast
play of his own. On short notice, his committee
'h’e‘ldrone-day hearings on what is known as the
Army Corps of Engineers-Bureau of Reclamation-
Weaver-Newell plan for Columbia River develop
‘ment.
The record of the day’s hearings reveals a good
bulldozer technique. Nobody appeared who was
opposed to the Weaver-Newell plan. E. W. Rising,
-registered lobbyist for the National Water Con
servation Conference, seemed to be in charge.
,This NWCC has for its Columbia Valley affiliate
~an outfit known as Pacific Northwest Develop
ment Association. A recent audit of its books
i:show',ed substantial contributions for the years
1945-46-47 from Idaho Power Company, Wash
‘ington Water Power Company, Pacific Power and
'Light, Portland General Electric, and Northwest
General Electric Company,
_ ‘What this reveals is a private-utility-backed
“lobby opposing development of the Columbia Val
ley Autnority plan. They all have a perfect right
to do this, if that's they way they feel about it. But
“it's just as well to understand all the gimmicks,
“Fight out in the open. )
"MAJORITY OPPOSED CVA
~ E. W. Rising hails from Boise, Idaho, originally.
He is Washington chairman of the National and
“and ‘Regional Land and Water organization. This
‘i§ & national front opposed to all valley authori
ties, At the House hearings, Rising went around
telling everyone when to testify. All his wit=-
‘nesses went right down the liné in support of the
“Army Engineers-Reclamation plan: H. C. Webb of
Puget Sound Power and Light, K. Robinson of
. Washington Power and Light, C. E. Starrett of
Portland - -Chamber of Commerce, J. A. Ford of
agbrokane Chamber «of Commerce, President Her
rington Polk of National Reclamation Association,
~and others.
- Reépublican Governors Pouglas McKay of Ore
“gon and Arthur. B. Langlie of Washington testitied
in.favor of the Army Engineers plan, though
" Governor Langlie said he hadn’t had tinve to study
it in detail.
" It doesn't take a super-intellect to figure out
the reason for this intentional bypass of the Pres
~ident"s CVA program. The House Public Works
Committee now has under consideration legisla
“%ion authorizing flood control and rivers and
“harhors projects for 1950-51. This is the regular
biennial pork barrel authorization that congress
“‘mien’ love so dearly. y
_“.'lf Congress can be persuaded to put through
.. these authorizations for Army Engineers’ recom
““mended programs, this will in a way tend to head
“off any legislation for a Columbia Valley Author

Less Talk, More Action |
There is much 11eeded in Georgia in the way of
economic improverient. There are numbers of im
portant questions t& be settled if the state is to go
forward.
A large number of our forward-looking citizens
are making all kinds of suggestions, but the chief
trouble that exists is the lack of agreement and
co-ordinate effort. I
There is decidedly #oo much talk and too little
action. That gets you nowhere. Our people have
plenty of sense if they learn how to effectively
use it. They can‘t all have their own way about
things. There is needed ;more of the spirit of co
operation.
There is an unqueéstioned need for a vast im
provement in our educational system. There are
many suggestions as to how our educational sys
tem might be improved. But there seems to be no
effective co-ordination of effort. Different polit
ical views clash, such as should give way to the
rule of common sense. Exwavagance and ineffi
ciency are charged and the charges are denied.
There are unseemly personal criticisms 'made.
There may be extravagance here and there. If so,
all this should be eliminated. There should be less!
talk and more action in the settiement of such
differences. i
Sometimes it is necessary for the surgeon’s
knife to be used. Good resolutions amount to‘
nothing unless action follows. If it is necessary to
use the knife, let it be wused without so much
wrangling about it. To solve all these questions
will require more .tax money. Due regard to the
justice of taxation is necessary, but where our
people are convinced that this tax money is
needed, it should be furnished without so much
complaint.
Our people are fully capable of solving their
problems. It may sometimes pinch, but the tem
porary suffering will pass after the temporary
pressure is met. Georgians should move forward
and never be willing to take a backward step.
Less talk and more action will selve cur prob
lems. |

Should Produce More Eggs
The people of Georgia consume miilions of eggs
annually. They are a food that is absolutely essen
tial. There is no real reason why every egg eaten
by Georgians should not be produced here in the
state.
What actually is happening is that less than ten
percent of the eggs eaten in this state are pro
duced in Georgia. The balance are imported,
chiefly from' the states of the Middle West. |
lggs can be produced here in Georgia at a profit
if the business is conducted properly. The climate
of Georgia is fayorable for such production. There
can be produced all the supplies for the poultry
business on our own farms. The greatest success
comes to a people who at least feed themselves.
In the egg-laying contests in different colleges,
the Georgia entries generally carry off the chief
prizes. The chief thing that is necessary is the
proper organization and direction of the business
so as to make it bring in a satisfactory investment
for the investors in the necessary enterprises.
Much progress has been made in recent years,
but much more remains to be done. If we are
going to continue to eat plenty of eggs, the sensi
ble thing to be done is to increase our local output
at home and keep the profits here instead of let-‘
ting them slip away to other states, ‘
There must be peace in the orient, freedom of
action, pride of nationalities. So long as there is
oppression we cannot concentrate on the advance
ment of this very rich region.—President Elpidio
Quirino of the Philippine ivepublic.
Secrecy and security are not always the same.
~ Sometimes secrecy lis necessary and is the best
way to further our security. In other cases, se
crecy. impairs our own safety . . . and...safety.
The factors have to be balancea with a coolness of
judgment and without jitters in euach particulep
case.—David E. Lilienthal, chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission.
There are times when every aging editor in
clines to think most of his readers are a cold and
drab breed of humans. Yet, when the time comes,
we generally {ind that readers vespond to real
calls to duty, nobility, alarm and defense.—Nat R.
Howard, editor, Cleveland (Ohio) News.
The new government, no matter who heads it,
will face even worse difficulties than mine.—Ex-
Premier Sun Fo of China, on his resignation.
" The mere existence of the United Nations will
not break down the ditferences which now divide
the east and west. But the United Nations can and
must serve as a means of settling those differences
peaceably.—Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the
UN. 53 |
As long as I am not assigned by the government
to duty elsewhere, I reiterate my intention to see
this job through to the signing of a peace.—Gen
eral Douglas MacArthur, commenting.on rumor‘s]
of -hig-impending - resignation. .ol g

By NEA Service
NEW YORK—(NEA)— During |
the years of war and reconver-\
sion, one thing America really re
converted was its hobby habits.
The first survey of hobbies sinte
1941, just compieted by the
American Hobby Federatibn,
shows that, of the top 10 hobbies,
seven are new to the list.
Collecting stamps remains nim
ber one, but the runner-up, col
lecting American glassware, is a
newcomer. Third and fourth posi
tion also go to hobbies that. jast
crashed the list, woodworking ' and
model-making. v ¥ i
The survey which took ene
year to complete and was made
by polling over 22,000 American
hobby clubs, showed that only
collecting stamps, dolls and coqins
survived from the 1941 study.
Other newcomers -are collecting
autographs and miniatures, and
painting and needle work. -
* Old-established favorites that
dropped out through the last eight
years are: collection of books,
buttons, arrow-heads and post
cards, and cooking, model trains
and the amateur nautralists —
butterfly and insect collectors.
Biggest jumps were made by
glass lovers, who usually special
ize in things like collecting five
foot-tall vases or ruby - colored
celery holders, and the wood
workers, who make useful things
like tooth brush stands and maga
zine racks. In 1941, the glass peo
ple ranked 15th and the saw-and
hammer boys were down in the
second 25.
