Declares Intention is to Export Power; Would Ruin Fisheries NEW WESTMINSTER (CP) Senator Tom Reicl charged Thursday that the Aluminum Company of Canada plans to export power to the United States. He said the company was seeking "extra exclusive rights" in British Columbia so that it may sell power not required for the aluminum industry. There had been "secret negotiations," Reid declared and the provincial government was. endeavouring to "put something over." The 'project should not be allowed to interfere with the fishing industry. The Nechako - Chilco project might spell "ruination" for the great Fraser River salmon industry, Reid declared. "Ail negotiations have been done in secret said Senator Reid "with the result that the public is not being acquainted with-the true facts. Any power developed, Reid said. should be kept for home indus tries. He demanded a public hearing where all plans of the company would be given the "widest possible publicity." The Senator added: "The provincial government is endeavouring to put something over In the interests of the aluminum coin- pany and against the general In broadcasts arc seldom heard In Terrace, the first sizeable centre the eat.
