Water covered low-lying crop land as far as the eye could see at Rulo, where the Missouri climbed to a new all-time record of 21.02 feet at 8 a.m. (CST) today.

Much lighter rain fell over the rest of the two state area. With the rain came more difficulties for flood stricken towns engaged in cleanup and reconstruction work. 1 "what, the northwest opponents of the legislation have said about the proposed bill, shows clearly that the time has come when the 'provisional marketing agency Bonneville Power Administration, set up by the Bonneville act should be replaced by a permanent administration for the Bonneville plant! and other projects on the lowexj Columbia river, thus carrying out the expressed intent of congress when it passed the Bonneville act," Robinson, Quotes V. S.

Law Robinson pointed out the bill exempts the Bonneville Power Administration from its provisions but opponents of the measure hawe contended it will apply to future projects on the river and have opposed it. He quoted from the law creating the Bonneville project saying it was intent of congress that it be provisional, pending the establishment of a permanent admin istration for the river. He said the BPA markets power from Grand Coulee on the upper river under a presidential edict, not legislation, and the McNary and Hungry Horse dams have been included Under the BPA by order of the secretary of interior. "The Bonneville Power Administration has already extended its lines beyond the Columbia river basin and has voluminous advance plans for greater extension of such lines into other areas not originally covered by the provisional Bonne-vi" act," Robinson iuid. "Thcie contemplated extensions outside C-' Yf "i ar-s have not t-n ty for teg-, Step to Right "The unauthorized expansion of Bonneville's operations and the uncontrolled rate and contract policies which have never received congressional legislative approval points out the need for congress to establish a national power policy for the entire country.

The pte posed bill is a step in the right direction in working out this national power Robinson said that it would appeal: logical to continue one marketing agency In the Pacific northwest and that tills "agency should transmit the power from the Columbia river generating stations to the principal load centers in the states of Oregon and Washington." He asserted, however, that this agency report directly to congress and not through the interior department, si the BPA does. j.
