Beam they weren't goes back
to the lonf-drmwD-out battle
waged ia the Boosevelt administra-
tion the Truman administration
v and the Eisenhower administra-
tion over "creeping kUowattsi-
in other wards public power. -
Flood-control dams cant be built
economically without harnessing
the electric power that comes from
those dams and the utllir lobby
! has fought bitterly in many cases
successfully against any flood
control that would also put more
. . electric power in the hands of gov-
' ' eminent agencies.
This basic battle was iMmI
Dixoo-Yatea. It was also behind
file defeat of the TVA flood-coo-1
tool plan voted for New England
la 1996 defeated by the utilities.
It was also behind a similar plan
for flood-scourged Eastern Ttei m-
sylvanla. Instead of "creeping socialism"
therefore' these areas have had
cresting flood water evacuated
t cities washed-out railroads; and
? in California and Oregon this
f- Christmas a total of 41 dead plus
$150000000 of damage.
The utility which has chiefly
1 fought floodcontrol dams in north-
era California is Pacific Gas and
Electric whose president James
I B. Black has been a star guest
at Ikes famous stag dinners.
His influenoe in blocking re-
clamation .legislation began bow-
loog before Ike entered the
White House. '
THE FLOOD SCORE
Here dam by dam and flood by
flood; Is the score in Northern
.California:
The Feather River Ibis is one
of the major tributaries .to the
Sacramento River and disastrous-
ly spilled over its banks Just be-
fore Christmas. To harness the
ther River. .'Oscar Chapman
' ry of tlie- Interior ..under h"
n proposed the Orovill
Dam. Pacific Gas and Electric
however objected. And after
much maneuvering and prodding
the State of California took over
the building of the dam.
1- That was in 1950. Five years
haw now passed and the Orovillc
dam is not yet built. It isnt even
started. California appropriated!
110000000 to get started part of
which was spent but ground was
.. not even broken.
. Pacific Gas and Electric mean-
; while has a rub-of-the-river dam
on fire Feather with no storage
4 capacity. It merely generates pow-
er. It costs money to build a big
t . dam that can hold back flood
waters and P. G. and E. hasnt
v built them.
. Shasta Reservoir In contrast
the Shasta Dam buQt fay the fed-
eral government under Tfcuman
t swallowed up torrents of water
- during the Christmas rains and is
i. bolding the floodr back. Pioneered
') fay famed dam-builder Harold
- Ickes it is now operating like
I1 clockwork. There were no major
.1 floods from Redding to Sacra-
.. mento on the Sacramento River.
It was the side tributaries of
the Sacramento the Yuba and
' Feather Rivers flowing in below
' the Shasta Dam which caused the
' damage. . ..
Trinity River Here a dam and
- tunnel were proposed to take water
out of the Trinity which flows into
j-Jkt Klamath River and pipe it
' to file Keswick Reservoir In order
to relieve the frequently swollen
Klamath River. This would have
prevented floods. But the ll-foot
1 drop as the water rushed through
the tunnel would have generated
! creeping kilowatts" in other
words the cheap electric power
that Parifie Gas and Electric did
1 not want
All this came to a head last
rummer in one of the unpubllcixed
. but notable battles of Am EUen-
i .4 bower administration.
:i MeKAY DALLIES
' Despite P. G. nd X. opposition
?. Congress voted for the Trinity
j River flood control-public power
f project thanks to the tenacity of
Congressman Clare Engle (D.
Cal.). Congress not only voted the
authorization but appropriated
1 money to begin work and it did
so despite the opposition of the
Presidents budget bureau and of
Us Secretary of the Interior Doug-
las McKay.
AS one congressional debate
Pacific Gas and Electric made t
counterproposal that the Trinity
River project be a partnership
whereby the federal government
would build the dams but let P.
O. and E. put In Its generators
' generate the power and cell It
Then said P. G. and E. it would
not be creeping Socialism.
i Congress however called this
j a one-horse -one-rabbit deal and
I . voted no. It decreed that since
to. the Trinity River Dam was to be
paid for by the taxpayers.' the tax-
payers must get the benefit of
cheapef public power. So the proj-
ect duty voted by Congress was

' Advance warnings against hasty
