POWER S SHORT IN PAC.N.W. {Dim-Qut Afifie'al Is Made Even to Family Washing ~Industry Closing 1 PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. 17.— |®—Pacitic Northwest electric power facilities today faced another 24 hour critical operation period. A winter-long voluntary d:m- lout appeal, until now on a late af- jternoon peak load time basis, h: been shifted to a full 24-hour pro- gram. Housewives were asked to post- pone usual Momday washing chores until later in the week in the lat- est bid to keep the five-state inter- locking transmission system from falling apart. If power demand exceeds output, {the load on the transformer points would automatically disconnect the network. Large industries would have to be dumped from the lines before serv- iice could be restored.
