Idaho Power Co.
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.

He said he would explain "the
long-range progressive program"

He cited as an example the un

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

people of Douglas County after
the session as it was before the
Legislature convened.

County delegation had held meet
ings last December and early Jan

Following an analysis of impor

U. N. 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.

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.
