i Secretary of the Interior Mc
Kay has announced the Depart
ment of the Interior will not
oppose the application of Idaho
Power Co. for a license to de-
relop power on the Snake River.
This means that the Bureau of
! Reclamation' under his jurisdic
tion no longer will press for con
struction . of Hells Canyon Dam
In the same vicinity. Interior will
furnish engineering and other
! data to the Federal Power Com
mission, but make no interven
tion in the way of a recommen-
i nation for or against the private
! project.
I am not at all surprised at the
decision of the Secretary. The
climate of the present adminis
tration is adverse to federal pow
er development The drive for
economy imperils appropriations
(or projects already authorized
by Congress, and Hell's Canyon
was never authorized. As Gover
nor of Oregon, McKay never com
mitted himself on Hell's Canyon
but his sympathies seemed to in
cline toward private enterprise.
In bis statement to the press
Tuesday, McKay evades the real
issue. He does not come out ei
ther for or against the federal
project, or for or against the
Erivate project. He does say that
e believes the federal project
is generally feasible from an en
gineering standpoint; but then,
since there is a shortage of pow
er in the Northwest now, and
since there is little likelihood of
obtaining the large appropria
tions needed for Hell's Canyon
"We must therefore give serious
consideration" to the Idaho Pow
er proposal
Certainly we should; but the
FPC and Congress also should
give serious consideration to al
ternatives. The principal ques
tion, in my opinion,

WASHINGTON (A Interior
Secretary Douglas McKay gave
the nod to private enterprise over
public power Tuesday as he vir
tually junked plans of the old Tru
man administration to build a
mammoth 560-miIlion-dollar feder
al dam at Hell's Cannon along
the Oregon-Idaho border.
Reversing the Truman adminis
tration's stand, McKay told a news
conference bis department is with
drawing its opposition to a plan by
the private owned Idaho Power
Company to build a series of three
hydro-electric power dams in the
Snake River area.
McKay said the decision was
"part of the policy of this admin
istration." He emphasized that it
was prompted in part by the Ei
senhower administration's desire
to cu. federal expenditures in its
drive to balance the budget and
reduce taxes.
Morse Approves
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Wayne
Morse (Ind Ore.) promptly de
nounced McKay's action "a shock
ing betrayal of the public inter
est."
The Oregon senator, a leading
advocate of government construc
tion of the Hell's Canyon project,
declared:
"It is further proof of what I
warned during the campaign
that the Eisenhower administra
tion would be a tool of American
monopolies. Never was it more
appropriate to say that in the next
election the people should 'turn
the rascals out.' "
Cordon Counter
However, Morse's Oregon col
league. Sen. Cordon (R), said he
could not see how McKay's action
had changed the situation except
that the interior department will
noL be a "special pleader."
"The Federal Power Commis
sion still has the obligation to
make a full and impartial invest
igation of all sides of the issues,"
Cordon said. The application by
the private . company to build the
first of three dams is before the
power commission.
Ready U Proceed
In announcing his decision, Mc
Kay said the Idaho company is
ready to go ahead with privately
financed constructioL, known as
the Oxbow Project while the gov
ernment has no assurance that
Congress would authorize money
for the federal project
The cabinet official said he
doubted if appropriations for the
government dam "could be justi
fied now" even if Congress would
approve it and he declared:
"The Department of Interior
would be playing the reprehensible
part of a dog in the manger if
it insisted on opposing a badly
needed development that private
capital is ready and willing to
undertake, if the plan proposed by
the Idaho Power Company is rea
sonably comparable as to results,
while the department itself has no
assurance that it can carry out its
plan without extended delay."
Each -Case on Merits
McKay said Tuesday's decision
does not mean the federal govern
ment is getting out of the business
of generating power for reclama
tion. He said each case would be
judged on its merits.
PORTLAND m The master of
the Oregon Grange said Tuesday
he was "shocked" over Secretary
of the Interior McKay's decision
on the Snake River.
SEATTLE UP) Oregon's Demo
cratic National Committeeman,
Monroe Sweetland. said Tuesday
that the decision by Secretary of
the Interior McKay to drop plans
for construction of a dam at Hells
Canyon on the Snake River "is a
frightening blow to the economy of
our Northwest"

Now that he's doubly retired, Hollis W. Libby (above) has time
for two hobbies, photography and raising newer sucn as these
azaleas. He was the first person on state retirement to get a
Social Security check also under a new program. (Statesman

Retired State Employes Start
Getting Social
First payment of Social Security benefits to a retired state em
nlove under the nroeram authorised by the 1953 Legislature was
made in Salem this week. The recipient was Hollis W. Libby, 865
Boxwood Lane, who retired nominally a year ago but has hardly
had a chance to find out what, leisure is.
libby was given the maximum
Salem manager for Social Se
curity Administration, who said
it was the first such payment in
Oregon. He reminded also that
only 58 persons of more than 200
elicible in Marion County have
filed the necessary claims for fed
eral benefits.
Most Former State Employes
The claimants are primarily
former state employes: with some
county workexs,ad. some . school L
teachers. Sollwell expects more
than 600 claims this y eartttm
Marion and the other five conn
ties in his district Payments can
be made retroactive for only six
months. j
Libby left his 18-year position
as chief locating engineer for the
State Highway Department on
April 1, 1952. But the department
needed him, so he worked until
July, then took the status which
allows retired persons to work
600 hours a year for the state.
He did that in 1953, too, and
worked through January and
February.
Joined Payroll Again
Then in March he and hun
dreds of others retired in the
last 15 months went back to work
for a few tiays in order to be on
the payroll when the switch to
Social Security became effective.
Stillwell noted that in most in
stances, departments did not
have to "make work" to keep
these people busy but had plenty
for them to do and some are still
on the job.
Libby, who is 73, could have
retired in 1946, shortly after the
state retirement system went
into effect
Worked With Highway Dept
Before becoming chief locator,
libby was with the Highway De
partment since 1919.

Portland's -new 'order, which
went into effect May 1, de-emphasized
the butterfat by changing
Portland producer quotas to a
straight hundredweight basis.
Quotas determine the amount of
milk a producer must deliver to
a market to share in the state
fixed price pool. Since the in
ception of milk control, the quo
tas have been .set on a basis of
pounds of butterfat a-day.
The new order provides the
quota on the total weight of
milk, regardless of butterfat test

Foreign
Aid Plea
By ROGER D. GREENE
WASHINGTON un President
Eisenhower Tuesday asked Con
gress for $5,828,000,000 in new for
eign aid a program which he
called a bulwark for America's
own defense against "the threat
of Soviet aggression."
Eisenhower coupled his request
with a sharp warning to the Krem
lin that the United States plans
a substantial step-up in military
aid to Communist threatened
southeast Asia, notably in em
battled French Indochina.
He prodded Russia anew to
prove the good faith of its recent
peace overtures "by deeds" in
stead of the words that have been
Cowing out of Moscow during the
last two months in the post-Stalin
era under Premier George Mal
enkov. In a special message to Con
gress, the President declared:
"The basic purpose of this pro
gram is simply the long-term se
in the shadow of the Soviet threat
"The blunt, sober truth is that
we cannot afford to relax1 our de
fenses until we have seen clear,
unmistakable evidence of gen
uinely peaceful purpose on the
part df the Soviet Union.
"Until Soviet good faith is
prcven by deeds, the free nations
must rely on their own strength
for the preservation of peace."
The President noted that his re
quest is $1,772,000,000 less than
former President Truman asked
in his farewell budget for the 1934
fiscal year beginning July 1.
Nevertheless, several congres
sional leaders made it clear that
the figure' was higher than they
are willing to go.
The total military outlay was
set at $5,250,000,000, plus $550,
000,000 for "technical, economic
and developmental purposes."
Forest Fire
Degree Issued
Acting Gov. Eugene E. Marsh
Tuesday closed Oregon's 27,000,000
acres of forest lands to unregulated
burning and use of fire.
Recent high temperatures and
low humidity prevailing through
out the state caused the fire sea
son to be moved up from the re
gular date of May 15 to May 5.
The closure was recommended
by State Forester George Spaur
following a conference with logg
ers, timber owners and others. The
closed season became effective at
midnight Tuesday.
Humidity and burning permit
regulations will become effective
with the closed season proclama
tion as precaution against the start
of forest fires, officials . said. All
logging operations in Western Ore
gon will become subject to the pro
tective regulations and minimum
30 per cent humidity shut-down re
quirements. Barclay Appointed Qty
Parks Administrator
Charles Barclay, manager of
the Salem airport and city purch
asing agent, has been appointed
city parks administrator, it be
came known Tuesday. James
Moyer is retained as parks fore-
tion cattle. They, he said, were
the ones who bore the higher cost
of producing a higher butterfat
product at a lower price. He
urged that Oregon State College's
cost 'study be used to establish
the base price for producer milk.
The new order, in Gale's opinion,
would "discourage production of
high solid content milk."
Charles Eckelman of Fairview
Farms, Portland, spoke in favor
of the Portland formula, admit
ting, however, that Jersey and
Guernsey owners would be "the
hardest hit" by the change but
that in the long run they would
profit by it as demand would in
crease." While Eckelman did not favor
the lower prices now received,
he said, he believed that the sur
plus' butterfat should be sold, if
necessary even at a .lower price.
He asked that dairymen work to
gether "for a solution beneficial
to alT. "He backed his argument
for -a price, based, on fluid milk
rather than butterfat by pointing
out the government's surplus of
about 150.0004)00 pounds of but
ter, bought to support the price.
: .When Harry Lane, Sherwood,
took the stand, he remarked that
farmers "cant afford to price
themselves out of milk". He

Farmers Raid
School Rooms,
Rural school officials Tuesday
appealed to State Labor Commis

on farmers who are raiding (Willa
mette valley classrooms for field
labor. ,
The school men told Kimsey that
in some areas children have dropp
ed out of school in wholesale lots
to work in the fields. It is worse
this year than ever before, they
testified. One Union High School
in Marion County reported a class
room drop of 15 per cent.
The labor commissioner, who ad
ministers the Child Labori Law.
immediately warned farmers that
hiring a minor under 16 years of
age while schools are in session is
illegal and punishable under fed
eral Laws.
Farmers, who come under fed
eral law. are subject to fines as
high as $10,000 with imprisonment
for illegal hiring of minors. A
farmer, Kimsey said, can ! work
minors under 16 legally, only, be
fore and after school hours and on
week ends during the school, year.
Kimsey emphasized there is no
excuse for farmers to raid schools
for field labor at this timer since
there is a surplus of adult workers.
