Natural Gas
Firms Defend
License Pleas
WASHINGTON OP A Westco
Transmission Co. attorney said
Tuesday his company would be
willing to accept a certificate to
deliver natural gas in the Pacific
Northwest conditioned upon Fed
eral Power Commission approval
of any change in its gas purchase
prices.
The attorney, Charles V. Shan,
non, raised the issue during oral
arguments before the commission
on applications of Westcoast and
others for permission to serve the
Pacific Northwest region.
Shannon said the offer "frankly
was an attempt to counter con
tentions by rival applicants that
because Westcoast's gas supply or
ginates in Canada the commission
would have only partial jurisdiction
over its project.
Under the offer, discussed only
briefly during the 192 days of hear
ings recently concluded on the ap
plications, Westcoast would be un
able to include for purposes of
rates in the United States any in
crease charged it by its Canadian !
suPPlier without commission appro-
of its gas supply in the San Juan
Basin of New Mexico and Colora
do, and Northwest Natural Gas Co.
urged rejection of all pending ap
plications. Northwest, which has been un
able to obtain Canadian permission
to export gas into the Oreeon- !
Washington region, said it was con-
fident sucn authority could be ob-!
t2ined if adverse action was taken
06 the Westcoast application. ;
J. w. oreenough. attorney for I
Trans-Northwest Gas Co., discount
ed contentions that his company
coud not obtain the Hanford Atom
ic Energy Commission load be
cause of price differences. He said
the matters raised by AEC in a
letter filed with the Power Com
mission presented "not unsur
mountable obstacles."
James L. White, attorney for
Colorado Interstate Gas Co., de
scribed his company as "an en
thusiastic proponent" of the Paci
fic Northwest application. He said
he saw it as the only project under
which Colorado Interstate could ob-
tain 3 future supp'y of natural
to meet its Rocky fountain area
demands.
Takes No Sides
Robert Yeomans, a member of
the Washington State Public Serv
ice Commission, and Frank Hayes,
Washington assistant attorney gen
eral, took no side on the question
of which company should be au
thorized to serve their state.
They urged, however, that the
commission take official notice of
the region's impending power
shortages and its need for natural
gas.
Although hopeful the commission
would find at least one of the ap
plicants qualified, Hayes said that
should it side with the belief of its
staff counsel that none is qualified
it should consider a conditional
grant subject to the correction of
whatever are considered to be the
company's deficiencies.
Jl. J. B. Priest, attorney for Port
land, Ore., Gas k Coke Co., urged
commission approval of the West
coast application. He expressed be
lief it would offer savings of five
million dollars a year to Northwest
consumers as compared with the
Pacific project
Other Representatives
The all-day session also included
representations by the city of San
Francisco, Pacific Gas & Electric
Co. and Southern Counties Gas Co.
opposing a grant to Pacific on
grounds gas reserves of the San
Juan Basin are needed by Califor
nia communities.
Spokesmen for the Washington
Gas & Electric Co., Twin Cities
Gas Co. and more than a dozen
Washington communities also ap
peared to urge their need of natur
al gas. They took no position, how
ever, between the competing appli
cants. The arguments are expected to
end Wednesday.

Kinley. the continent's highest
peak, to bring word of the tragedy
in which one member of their four
man climbing party was killed and
Argus was injured.
Air force helicopters airlifted
eight expert mountaineers a mile
up the mountain, and they fought
their way in the next five days to
the 11, 000-foot level where Argus
had been left in a tiny tent at the
head of a crevasse-lined glacier.
The Brooklyn GI was reached
Sunday, put on the airdropped
aluminum sled and brought nearly
a mile down the mountainside.
There late Monday night Capt.
Ralph Searle of the !74th Air Rescue
Squadron nursed his helicopter to
a landing far above its usual maxi
mum operating altitude. Searle
said he "squeezed every inch out
of the altimeter to reach 6,500
feet.
The 'copter hopped to a mining
village where a small Air Force
plane took Argus to Minchumina.
There he was transferred to a
twin-engined plane which brought
him here.
Before Argus was heavily doped
with morphine to ease his pain,
he told his rescuers he wondered
as he lay helpless on the mountain
side if he'd ever be founds
"Then when I heard planes cir
cling overhead last week I knew
everything would trfrn out all
right," he said.
"I wanted to drag myself out of
the tent so I could wave and try
and attract attention, but I was
afraid I couldn't get back. I could
not even raise myself up, my hip
hurt so bad.
"Then I heard the rescue party
coming so I stuck my head out
i of the tent and yelled.
"It's a good thing they got there
then. My food would have only
lasted four more days."
Three of the five men in the ad
vance party which reached Argus'
tent were buddies of his from the
Army's arctic training center at
Big Delta where he was stationed.
When he saw the group, Argus
quipped: "It looks like old home
week."
Tuesday was the 56th day since
Argus and three companions set
out to conquer Mt. McKinley. They
succeeded early last month in mak
ing the first ascent from the south
approach. A slip on the way down
sent all four tumbling over a 1,000

Two months went by. Then, at
a meeting of council, Mrs. Heinzer
quietly arose and said she want
