WASHINGTON I Whether
Washington State's testimony will
be thrown out of the Hells Canyon i
case will be decided when the
Power Commission hearing re
sumes Jan. 5.
A public power attorney asked
Examiner Willia n J. Costello to
strike the state's testimony and
exhibits shortly before the hearing
was' recessed Thursday for the
holidays.
The motion was made by Mrs.
Evelyn Cooper, attorney for groups
favoring construction of the pro
posed federal Hells Canyon Dam
near one of the sites sought by
Idaho Power Co. for three power
projects in the Snake River be
tween Idaho and Oregon. The
hearing is on those applications.
Washington State's case, in op
position lo the federal project, was
presented by Holland Houston,
power adviser to Gov. Arthur B.
Langlie.
Mrs. Cooper asserted Houston did
not qualify as an expert witness
and said his testimony was in
competent and failed to support
Washington's petition to intervene
in the case.

Jonathan Wainwright's
Sister Dies Thursday
SANTA MONICA, Calif. lav-Mrs.
Jane Pound Wainwright Mears,
sister of the late Gen. Jonathan
M. Wainwright and widow of a
noted Army ?nd railroad engineer,
Col. Frederi vars, died Thurs
day night.
Mrs. Mears, 73, was stricken
with a heart attack and died at St
John's Hospital. She had been in
failing health since the death last
iept. 2 ot Gen. Wainwright, with
whom she had an exceptionally
close brothcr-sis'.er relationship.
Mrs. Mears, born in Walla Walla,
Wash., formerly lived in Seattle
and Washington, D. C, during Col.
Mears' Army and railroad career.
He was an Army railroad builder
in the Plulipines and Panama and
built the Seward-Fairbanks rail
road in Alaska. He retired in 1923,
then served with the Great North
ern Railroad and was its ohief en
gineer when he died in 1939.
She declared Houston "has had
little or no working experience
with comprehensive river develop
ment" and claimed he aid not
make studies necessary for authori
tative evaluation of multi-purpose
project benefits.
She told Costello that Houston's
"opinions and views are limited
almost exclusively to powerdevel
opment" and that his "experience
and views rest on his discussions
with innumerable persons at in
numerable conferences."
Houston's testimony, she said,
was a "conglomeration largely sup
ported only by opinion and hearsay
evidence" wnicn would only "bur
den and encumber the record."
Mrs. Cooper said Houstin failed
to sunort the intervention peu
tion's statements relating to grow
ing power requirements and the
need for flood control in the Co
lumhia River Basin..
Costello said other lawyers In
the case could reply to the mo
tion by mail before Jan. 5 when
he said he would rule on it.
Two attorneys indicated they
would opose the motion. They
were Bernard Lonctot, Washing
ton's chief deputy attorney gen
eral who is handling the state's
case, and R. P. Parry of Idaho
Power Co.

the adequacy of congressional and
UJS. judicial pay scales has heard
a preponderance ot testimony la
voring at least a $10,000 raise.
In three days of public Hearings
which ended Thursday, nie com
mission heard more than 50 wit
nesses. Only three of them, all
House members, went on record
against raising congressional sal

The overwhelming sentiment
voiced at the hearings was for im
mediate action by Congress.- Typ
ioal was the statement of one of
the final witnesses, Chief Judge
Bolitha J. Laws of the U.S. District
Court here, that:
"The situation of judges, and of
course the Congress, is most ser
ious."
Judge Laws said when he went
on the bench in 1938, he gave up
two club memberships, discharged
the maid and took on teaching
duties. Even so, he said, he has
spent over $40,000 in previous sav
ings. .

representatives of government, in
