were refused then because the site
looked "hot."

Hells Canyon Dam
Hearing To End
WASHINGTON Wl A hearing
on legislation to authorize the fed
eral Hells Canyon Dam was to
end Friday, barring any unfore
seen delay.
Opposition witnesses were al
lowed the final say at the Senate
interior reclamation subcommittee
hearing on a bill to authorize a
federal dam in the Hells Canyon
reach of the Snake River between
Idaho and Oregon.
Slated to be heard were W. G.
Sloan of LaMesa, Calif., formei
Reclamation Bureau engineer;
John Tale, Boise, Idaho, spokes
man for water users; R. P, Parry,
Twin Falls, Idaho, attorney for the
Idaho Power Co., which seeks to
build three dams in the Hells Can
yon area, and Bernard Williams,
Boise, official of Morris-Knudsen
Co., which has offered to build
the three dams.

Costello Recommends
One Snake River Dam
(Continued from Page One) .
hood of Congress authorizing con
struction of the high dam and ap
propriating money to pay for it is
so remote as to make a recom
mendation to Congress by the FPC
that such a dam be undertaken by
the government a "completely use
less action."
Costello said the making of such
a recommendation, authorized un
der federal law, would only freeze
the Middle Snake River for power
development for an indofinite pe
riod. He added:
"If the Congress feels that the
commission has not performed its
function in the public interest and
in accordance with the provisions
of the statue, the commission's
power to issue a license may be
withdrawn or suspended at any
time."
Brownlee Dam, nine miles down
stream from Robinette, Ore.,
would impound one million acre
feet of water for flood control and
have a power capacity of 360,000
kilowatt?.
FPC engineers estimated the
rockfill structure, 395 feet high and
11.700 feet long, would cost $95,-
433,000.

Long Swim Down
Colorado Ends
For 2 Salesmen
LAS VEGAS, Nev. un Two
young insurance salesmen turned
up in Las Vegas early Friday and
announced that they completed
their long distance swim down the
Colorado River Thursday after
noon. The Los Angeles men said they
had spent 26 days in the rushing
waters of the river to prove that
"flexibility of the human body is
greater than that of any boat."
The pair, John S. Daggett, 27
and William K. Beer, 26, jumped
into the river at Lees Ferry nenr
the Arizona-Utah border on Easter
Sunday and climbed out late Thurs
day at Pierce Ferry, i.ear the
A r 1 z o n a-Nevada border. They
swam and floated 279 miles and,
according to Daggett, shot "rough
ly 280 rapids."
Many Arizonians who know the
river predicted after the unprece
dented trip began that the two
Stanford University graduates
would never be seen again, or that
they would be dead when found.
'We shot all the rapids," Dag
gett said. 'We didn't go around
any of thenv It's the first time it's
been done, so far as I know."
Daggett and Beer made the trip
dressed in rubber shirts, long un
derwear and swim trunks. Each
carried a bouyant rubber pack
weighing about 80 pounds. On the
way down the river they shot about
2,000 feet of color film. They pro
tected their cameras in paint
cans.

alarm had been spread, and Salem
police nabbed the two when they
tried to get in touch with a girl
friend in Salem.

Lee J aril, 20, and Raymond J.
Nyhus, 18, escaped by wriggling
through a 12 Vi-inch-wide vent pipe

into two stores in the n ans City
area to get the candy and cigar
ettes, and returned to the jail to
pass out the goodies betore resum
ing their flight to Salem.
The other prisoners weren't ap
preciative, though. Jailers said
they didn't touch the bounty, which
was found in a heap on the floor

The two who fled had been held
in the jail with bond set at $2,500
on burglary charges. They were
