Renounces Fast Tax Writeoff WASHINGTON 1 Renuncia tion of tax benefits for two priv ate dams in the Hells Vanyon area was Draised bv Republicans and described as a ruse by Democrats in the Senate Iriday. Idaho Power Co. announced Thursday night it was rejecting a tax write-olt on uxnow ana Brownlee, two of the three dams it plans to build in the Snake Riv er bordering Idaho and Oregon. They would flood the sile of a federal Hells Canyon dam which would be authorized by a bill up for Senate action. Sen. Goldwater (R-Ariz), oppos ing the bill, told the Senate the writeoff rejection "eliminates a cloud from the real issue in this case, which is public versus priv ate power." Sen. Barrett (R-Wyo) agreed, adding that Idaho Power still will be permitted to get rapid amorti zation benefits under a 1954 law "merely by advising the Bureau of Internal Revenue." Democrats, on the other hand, called the Idaho Power decision a "ruse," a "steal", and "desper ate move" and "an expediency." Goldwater assailed the bill to authorize a high federal dam as "notorious. . . I might even say nefarious." He said the Federal Power Com mission, "an arm of the Con gress," decided after a year-long hearing that Idaho Power's three dam plan, not the federal dam, would be "best adapted to com prehensive development" of the Snake River. Prospects for a vole before nightfall on the controversial me'asure rose when Sen. Dirksen (Continued on Page 2 Col. 5) State Senator Sets Talks On Effects Of New State Laws State Sen. Dan Dimick has an nounced plans to address groups which will be affected by recent state legislation as the legisla tion becomes effective. He said he would explain "the long-range progressive program" of Gov. Robert D. Holmes. He cited as an example the un employment benefits which will be taking effect this summer. He said he probably will speak to la bor groups on this matter. Thursday night, Dimick was speaker at the June dinner meet ing of the Myrtle Creek Chamber of Commerce, the second talk for the senator in two nights. Wednes day, he addressed a group of Heedsport Democrats. Dimick said that it is as im portant for him to meet with the people of Douglas County after the session as it was before the Legislature convened.

Command Voids Armistice Ban On Weapons PANMUNJOM, Korea Wi The U.N. Command today voided the Korean armistice ban on new wea pons to match the Communist buildup in North Korea. Hurry Snyder, U.S. Assistant secretary of defense, said in Washington that the new arms would include jet aircraft which can carry atomic arms, but "at this time no atomic weapons are being given to ground forces." He refused to say whether atomic am munition would be stored at Ko rean bases for use against an at tack. The U.N. side declared it would continue to observe "fully" t h e cease-fire provision and all other points in the 1953 armistice agree ment. The Communist command promptly charged the U.N. with "attempting to make South Korea an atomic base and prepare for a new war." iNorth Korean Maj. Gen. Chung Kook Rook declared impassively: "We are vehemently opposed to equipping U.N. forces with new types of weapons, wrecking the armistice agreement and perpetu ating the U.N. occupation of South Korea." U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Homer L. Litzenberg, senior mem ber of the U.N. Command, noti fied the Morth Korean and Chinese Communists of the U.N. decision at a meeting in the truce hut in the demilitarized zone. Litzenberg said the Red reply was "milder than 1 expected." "I did not interpret it as a Red threat to resume the fighting that ended with the July 27, 1953, truce, ' he said. U. S. Plywood's New Plant Site Being Prepared Earth-moving at the site of U.S. Plywood's new plywood manufac turing plant on Rifle Range Road has reached about the halfway point. , ... The start of concrete pouring and construction of retaining walls is expected to begin Monday, accord ing to Bill Borcher, public rela tions representative. Present plans call for the earth moving to be completed in another three weeks, as construction of the 170,000 square foot plant proceeds. Estimates are that the first actual plant operation may be some minor lathe turning within nine months but the company will not accept applications until next fall. The complete operation is expect ed to be finished jn a year, and at that time it will employ about 250 people. When completed the new plant will be located north of the present sawmill and will have been constructed at a cost of approxi mately .1 million dollars. Meanwhile, construction of a $400,000 barker and chipper plant outside the present U.S. Plywood plant continues. Start of that oper ation is expected on Aug. 5, im mediately after the plant's two week vacation period layoff. Plant officials do not anticipate any appreciable gains in employ- ment at this operation, according to Borcher. BOY SCOUT FOUND YAKIMA. Wash. 11 James C.

Rose St. Couplet Opponents Speak At Hearing Here Some opposition, led by Rose burg School Supt. M. C. Deller and State Sen. Can Dimick. cropped up Thursday morning in a public hearing on the advisability of con struction of a one-way traffic coup let through Roseburg. Dimick, who said he expressed his views as a taxpayer and a parent who will have a child in junior high school next year, was against the proposal for two rea sons: U) That it nudn t been made clear what the job would cost Rose burg taxpayers,, and (2) that "build ing of the northbound section of the couplet on Rose Street would result in excessive noise and haz ards at Central Junior High School. The latter complaint was echoed by Deller. He said that traffic noise on Stephens Street, had nec essitated moving of classrooms from the west side of the building. Deller pointed out that an in crease in traffic on Rose possibly would result in too much noise on the east side of the building. The school, located on Washing ton Avenue between Rose and Stephens, would be in a hazardous position from a traffic standpoint, Deller and Dimick said. They pointed out that physical educa tion classes use the outdoor area across Rose Street during the heavy traffic hours. W. C.

By a 45.19 roll call vote, the Senate put the measure on its legis lative calendar without referring it to the Judiciary Committee, where a similar civil rights bill has been bottled up for months.
