Snake River
IrrigationData
WASHINGTON IB The ac
curacy of an engineer's estimate
of how much Snake River water
will be required , for future irri-
opposing attorneys at the Hells
Canyon hearing Tuesday.
Lawyers cross-examined Milton
S." Sachs, Bonneville Power Ad
ministrations water utilities expert,
at the Power Commission hearing
on applications by Idaho Power
Co. to build three dams In the
river- between Idaho and Oregon,
where the federal Hells Canyon
project also has been proposed.
Sachs, of Portland. Ore., said
his studies of potential depletion
in the Snake River show irriga
tors would not take a "significant"
. amount of water and there would
be plenty left for power genera
tion.
Asks Definition .
R. P. Parry. Idaho . Power at
torney, asked Sachs to define his
kise of .the word "significant."
jSachs said the depletion possibly
t would be "one to five per cent."
Perry questioned whether Sachs
obtained enough information from
precipitation stations to make an
. said Sachs gpt data from only one
station above an elevation of .000
feet where snow is deep and
; naa no measurements irom major
Snake River tributaries including
th Wieser, Owyhee and Payette
nvers.
Sachs said his measurements
were obtained from 10 representa
tive stations and he didn t need
ovvwolc coiuuaic xuc la n j ci
data from tributaries which make
. small water contributions to the
I Snake River in dry years.
tooldn t Fill -Reservoir :-
Idaho Power engineers have
so much water that the proposed
1 t yt 11 rw .
icucicu neiis vuiun reservoir
couldn't be filled- annually.
' Sachs said bis report was based
partly on estimates of irrigation
expansion made by a task force
of the Columbia Basin Interagency
Committee. He said he helped to
write the task force's report as
co-chairman.
Sachs said the task force estimated-
734,000 acres of Idaho land
along the Snake River. would be
placed under irrigation during the
50-year payout period of the pro
posed lederal Hells Canyon Dam.
jThis estimate is much lower
than Idaho Power's.
Lucien Hilmer, attorney for
groups advocating the federal
dam. asked is Sachs believed the
192,000-acre Mountain Home proj
ect, which was included in the
Columbia Basin committee esti
mate, would be constructed in the
next SflLyears.
Sachs said he doubted it would
But he said his estimate still is
may be completed ahead of sched
reasonable, because other projects
ule and irrigation by pumping may
exceed expectations.

charged with mutiny for refusing

HANOI, Indochina on The

year of the Indochinese war has
reached the halfway mark with

Dien Bien Phu is a "dust bowl"
six miles long and four miles wide.
French paratroopers seized it Nov.
20. The French subsequently built
up a powerful defense position by
airlift to keep the Vietminh from
occupying all the Thai country.
The French also wanted to block
a route for a possible fresh rebel
invasion of Laos. i I

f The action of the religious court
ended a teen-age marriage with
fat and frivolous King Farouk that
had flourished amidst the glamor
of palaces but faded in the smoke-

her son Ahmed Fuad, who was
2 years old last month. She
dropped demands for monthly ali
mony payments equal to $14,400
and a dowry allowance of $28,800.

McCarthy's
Charge Said
Urisui
oported
WASHINGTON W) The State
Department announced f Tuesday
night that a three-month investi
gation had failed to support! a
charge by Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.)
that State Department personnel
shook down a foreign government
for $150,000. j
The department said its investi
gative authority did not extend far
enough to determine "whether or
not a bribe was solicited by other
American citizens.
McCarthy made the charge last
July 13, saying he had evidence
employes "in the old? Acheson
State : Department got the money
from a friendly government in re
tunr for a legal service which he
said it was entitled to receive
fwithout paying any bribes.
Some six weeks later.1 however,
he told reporters "all evidence! in
dicates there was a solicitation! by
State Department officials, but
no certainty that any money actu
ally changed hands.
At no time has McCarthy named
either the foreign government -nor
any State Department officials! he
said were involved.
Atomic Disarmament Would
Require 'Second New Look'
At U.S. Strength, Wilson Says
WASHINGTON (fl Secretary
of Defense Wilson said Tuesday
that in the event Russia should
agree to atomic disarmament, the
United States would have to take
a second r new look .at its mili
tary program.
At a news conference Wilson was
asked what would happen to the
"new look" military program,
which is built around atomic
strength,, if Russia agreed to out
lawing of f nuclear weapons.
"I am not conscious we have
any commitments in the area you
are talking about" he replied.
"Anything of that nature would
require a second new look."
Atom Exploration
In his answers on atomic dis
armament, Wilson made no ref
erence to the fact that the Ameri
can and Soviet foreign secretaries
are now exploring atcynic matters
in a side session to the mam meet
ing of the: four powers in Berlin.
The reporter's questions involved
proposals under the original Bar
auch plan.'
Another reporter wanted to know
if in another Korea-type war the
United States would limit itself to
the use of conventional weapons,
To this Wilson replied: "I think
it would be hard to determine the
reason why. you shouldn't use a
gun that shoots a hundred times
His reference here appeared to be
comparison of atomic weapons! in
general with conventional weap
ons. ;
Had Hands TW !
At i another point Wilson com
mented that "in Korea Jwe fought
with i our hands tied; we didn't
follow the principle of hot pur
suit" (The expression, "hot pur
suit", means following an enemy
over a border, in that case, across
the Yarn River into China.)
Wilson told reporters that "I per
sonally wish we could quit rat
tune the atomic bomb. A re
porter asked him what percentage
of the A-bomb rattling on the other
side has been pure! talk and bluff.
He replied he did not think that
it a 5 bluff. He said of the Rus
sians that "they made the simple
statement last summer? that they
knew how' to make' hydrogen
bombs. He said also of the Rus
sians' talk that "they've been
little careful, as a matter of fact
to play it down." ;

OPEN EVENINGS
I 'TIL 11 P. M.
French post, then shift around and
thrust into Northern Laos in the
direction of the royal Laotian cap
ital of Luang Prabang, 120 miles
southward.
While the French wait hopefully
for a Vietminh assault on Dien
Bien Phu, Union artillery and
planes continue to hammer the
rebels in the hills around that fort
ress. The French say they have
inflicted "heavy" casualties.
In Northern Laos, French-Laotian
forces are skirmishing daily
with regional Vietminh units and
seizing hundreds of tons of rice
and war supplies. However, there
has been no major fighting in the
Muong Khoua area 87 miles north
of Luang Prabang. The Vietminh
held onto a slice of Northern Laos
when they quit their first invasion
of the little mountain kingdom last
April
Bombers Pound Vietminh
In Central Laos scene of the
Vietminh Christmas invasion r
French bombers have been pound
ing Vietminh troops who cut across
the narrow waist of Laos to Thak-
hek the French restored river and
road communications between
Central and Northern Laos.
The Vietminh are estimated to
have lost up to 4.000 killed, wound
ed and captured in fighting in Cen
tral Laos but they display a re
markable facility in making : up
losses. They simply raid villages
in Viet Nam and force young
Vietnamese into the rebel army.
Meanwhile, to the southeast ; the
French offensive along the coast
of Annam is progressing slowly
because of heavily mined areas
but there is little opposition by
the rebels.
The push is moving steadily
northward from Tuy Hoa, 250
miles northeast of Saigon. Its aim
is to sweep 300 miles up the coast
and liberate three million Vietna
mese who have been under Viet
minh rule since the start of the
war.
To the north in the sprawling
Red River Delta of Northern In
dochina key French defense
bastion against the sweep of Com
munist forces into Southeast Asia
the fighting goes on daily and
unrelentingly.
The Vietminh are stepping up
their ambushes of French troops
and their attacks upon the thinly,
manned defense posts. The rebel
raids on Vietnamese villages ; are
more frequent

Conferees in
Disagreement
WASHINGTON l Senate and
House conferees broke up in an
gry disagreement Tuesday night
over a bill designed to continue fi
nancing of farm price support op
erations. :
The House version of the meas
ure allowed $741,548,788' to the
Commodity, Credit Corporation
(CCC) but the Senate slashed this
Monday to $245,900,917.
The bill reimburses CCC for loss
es it has suffered, mainly in price
support operations. The Senate
contended the agency has not
proved all the losses it claimed in
the measure.
Sen. Bridges (R-NH), head of
the Senate conferees, told news
men "the House was adamant in
its position and we're standing
pat."
The conferees did not even try
to set a time for another meeting.
"We're not in any hurry. Bridges
said.
However, Howard Gordon, head
of the CCC who was waiting out
side the conference room with his
aides, told reporters his agency
would be able to get along for a
few weeks.
