BUTTE, Mont m Gov. Len
Jordan of Idaho called Wednesday
for creation of a special Columbia
River Basin committee to promote
the Northwest's power develop
ment Jordan said this would "imple
ment" the Eisenhower administra
tion's appeal for "local interests,
private or public," to play a main
role in supplying the nation's elec
trical energy.
Jordan addressed the opening
session of the 69th meeting of the
Columbia Basin Inter-agency Com
mittee here.
As examples of what might be
attained by the special group, Jor
dan mentioned the setting up of
priorities for project construction
and the setting aside of lands.
Dr. Paul J. Raver, Bonneville
Power administrator, told the com
mittee that the outlook for the
coming winter "is for a consider
ably easier power situation than
was experienced last winter."
Raver said, "This is due pri
marily to additional storage and
generating capacity which has or
will be brought into operation dur
ing the interval.
"Delays in the runoff of the Co
lumbia and other power streams
will also improve the power situa
tion into the early falL . ." there
now appears to be no cutback in
prospect in the Northwest this fall,
even in a critical water year.

Case Review
Arch L. Wilson, who was dis
charged from the Salem police
force a year ago for medical rea
sons and was denied readmittanee
to the force by, the city Civil
Service Commission, asked- the
Commission Wednesday to recon
sider his case. j -
Wilson was injured by a ve
hicle while making; an arrest in
June 1350. He returned to active
duty with the force after five
weeks medical care and served
until June 31, 1852 when he was
discharged after a medical exami
nation reported he was physically
unfit for dnty. I
Wilson claims two other doc
tors said he was all right After
discharge Wilson applied for a
pension, but was turned down.
He then attempted to get back
on the force, saying he had un
derstood he would be rehired if
he could not get his pension. Po
lice Chief Clyde Warren and the
commission could remember no
such agreement and after several
months of negotiations his appli
cation was turned down in Sep
tember. At City Shop
Since then he has been a care
taker at the city engineer's
shops.
Consideration on his case, was
delayed until the i next session
when Wilson's lawyer can pre
pare papers.
The Commission also deferred
action on Herman Donewho was
recently discharged from the
service and who now wants to be
rehired on the police force. The
Commission is waiting from word
from the state whose laws super
cede the city civil service regula
tions on the rehiring of service
men. There is nothing in city charter
governing the matter, and the
commission hopes a ruling may
be handed down by the attorney
general which will clear up the
situation.
Doney has been working with
the sheriffs office since the first
of the month.
