SEATTLE, — (/P) —President
1 Truman called upon the Pacific
| Northwest today to arm for “the
| toughest kind of a fight” in Con
gress to develop its river basins
! to stop floods and provide cheap
i power.
He pledged his administration
to battle along with Northwestern

gainst “private power lobbyists”
and “men of little faith” who
do not trust such development.
The president asserted Congress
“threw us backward” by cutting
river and harbor appropriations

i has blocked funds to provide trans
j mission lines to distribute low
' cost power from California’s
Shasta Dam.
The shock of the tragedy of the
disastrous Columbia River flood,

force our determination to build
the dams and other structures
needed” to control the nation’s
river basins.
Mr. Truman’s speech was pre
pared for delivery under auspices
