National Plan Is Seen in
Proposal for Operation
of Bonneville.
B? the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has taken initial
Steps leading to a uniform national
power policy by asking Congress to
authorize the appointment of an ad
ministrator to sell surplus power at
the Bonneville Dam near Portland,
Oreg.
Public agencies and co-operatives
■eeking to purchase Bonneville power
would be given preference over private
concerns. Purchase contracts would
contain clauses designed to assure
•'reasonable” rates to the ultimate con
aumer.
Transmitting a report from his
Power Policy Committee, the Presi
dent said yesterday the legislation
recommended should be "provisional
In character pending the establishment
of permanent administration of Bon
neville and other Federal projects in
the Columbia Basin, but should not
be inconsistent with national power
policies which may be hereafter
adopted.”
He said a provisional bill should be
passed this session because Bonneville
Is almost finished and power will be
ready for distribution late this year.
The Grand Coulee Dam in the State
of Washington will tie in with the
permanent program.
National Policy Foreseen.
Some officials saw in yesterday’s
recommendations the nucleus of the
national policy to come later.
The committee proposed that the
Secretary of the Interior be authorized
to appoint the administrator, who
would operate the Bonneville project
with the advice of a board of three
representing the War and Interior De
partments and the Federal Power
Commission.
The administrator would build trans
mission lines and sell power not needed
for operation of the dam and locks at
reasonable rates to be fixed by him
self. subject to approval of the Power
Commission.
"The rate schedules,” the report said,
"should provide for uniform rates, or
rates uniform throughout prescribed
transmission areas, with a view ot
distributing the benefits of an integrat
ed transmission system and encourag
ing the equitable distribution of the
electric energy development.”
Rate Fixing Discussed.
Rates, the report added, should be
fixed with a view to encouraging the
widest possible use of the power, hav
ing regard to recovery of the cost of
production and transmission and
amortization of the capital investment
over a reasonable period.
The administrator would be author
ized to contract for the sale of power
at wholesale, whether for resale or
direct consumption. Until January
1, 1939, at least 50 per cent of the
energy would be reserved for public
and co-operative agencies.
Contracts would not exceed 20
years. Rates would be readjusted at
least once every five years.
A contract with a private agency
which resold the bulk of the energy
purchased could be canceled on five
years* notice, if any part of the power
were needed to satisfy requirements
of public or co-operative agencies.
“The project,” the report said,
“should become self-supporting, but in
the meantime it will be necessary to
provide funds for initial construction
of transmission lines,- operation and
administration.”

parents alone can completely provide.
"There is no substitute for a mother.
"Let them in these formative years
have a little normality in their lives.”
He said he hoped the parents would
assume a larger responsibility for the
education and religious training of the
children who will be 3 years old
May 28.
“We hope they will take their part in
actively directing matters in and about
the nursery, and, in short, as the
physical progress of the babies has
been such as to permit it, the Dionne
family will be reunited.”
When he assumed the guardianship
which he now seeks through legisla
tion to turn over to the official provin
cial guardian, Percy D. Wilson, he said

the children were worth $32,472.02
with some debts.
“The quinta have become big buai*
ness. They have property and assets.
Their business affairs are complex and
extensive.
Carefully Managed.
“Throughout the term of guardian
ship, regardless of financial considera
tions, we have tried to avoid anything
that might cheapen them.
"But with that thought constantly
in mind, we did feel it our duty to
make what money we could for them.
If we could make It ethically and
decently and without exposing the
children to physical or other danger."
Now, Croll said, there Is sufficient
income “for the needs of the entire
lamily for all time to come.”
Croll's bill would only replace him
self with Wilson. The other members
of the Board of Guardians, the chil
dren’s father, Judge J. A. Valin of
North Bay, and Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe,
their doctor, would not be affected.
At Callander, the children’s home,
lather Dionne, who had at first ac
cused the government of stealing his
babies, expressed gratitude for the
guardianship.
“We couldn’t get along without it,"
he said.
