Columbia Report
Release Favored
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 26-JP)
Public release of the Columbia
basin report should prove par
ticularly helpful to congress In
considering the steps necessary
In marketing power from Bonne
ville and Grand Coulee dams,
Marshall N. Dana, chairman of
the Northwest planning commis
sion, said today.
Dana's statement supported R.
F. Bessey, planning consultant,
who urged that theurvey report,
made by the Northwest commis
sion and forwarded to Washing
ton, be released by President
Roosevelt for discussion at the re
gional planning conference In
Spokane, February 13 to 16.
The survey recommends meth
ods for sale and distribution of
power from government projects,
particularly -the two Northwest
dams.
"Regardless of whether the
method recommended for power
marketing by the regional com
mission is acceptable, the factual
material upon which the recom
mendations are based will prove
of indispensable value in further
consideration," Dana said.

w -Warner Brothers Pic

Hart).
Radio May Lose

probable.
Tho first is that broadcasters
will be deprived of many of the
nnnnliir them lonri br which the
program Is Identified to listeners.
Tho other Is that composers

broadcasting of its music, and sim
ultaneously working for Warner

No Reprieve For
Huptmann Seen
TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 26.-(iP)
-Gov. Harold G. Hoffman indicat
ed today he had no reason now
to reprieve Bruno Richard Haupt-
jnann.
Confronted with the published
reports he was prepared to grant
Hauptmann a 30-day stay of exe
cution should the court of pardons
refuse clemency, the governor;
through his press representative,
William Conklin, said "at the
present time I have no such plan
in mind."
Earlier, the governor said any
statement that a reprieve was
contemplated was "unauthorized."
Under the constitution, the gov
ernor may grant reprieves lor 80
days after "convictions." This has"
been Interpreted by the courts to
mean 90 days after all appeals
have been exhausted and a new
date set for carrying out the death
sentence.
In Hauptmann's case, this
would mean the governor could,
stay execution until March 12.
Hauptmann was re-sentenced De
cember 13 to die the week of Jan
uary 13.
Hauptmann's petition for mercy
may come before the court when
it convenes Monday on another
matter.
