Prifcst Rapids Dam Seen as Warm OLYMPU (UP) Theoretically, construction of a dam at Priest Rapids on the Columbia river could lead to a fight rivaling the Hells Canyon controversy, State Power Commission Chairman Walter S. Gordon said Wednesday. : . ' The 'House , of Representatives Tuesday . completed congressional action on a bin authorizing con t traction of the Priest Rapids dam. - All the bill needs now is President Eisenhower's signature. , . . Although construction of the dam possibly could, lead to a battle, Gordon, said he desires to see the Grant county public utility district able to carry out its congressional - grant to build the 360-million dollar project ' . : . ; i . -- "We don't want to preclude the best interests of the state by talk' ing about hypothetical fights that could develop,! Gordon said- "we are delighted that the Grant coun ty PUD has received congressional approval to huHd the dam." It wul depend on the PUD to come up with a plan acceptable : to the commission. If the commit sion has a better plan, it undoubt edly will draw it to the attention of the PUD, or seek a permit to build the dam at Priest Rapids. If a dispute should develop be tween the PUD and' the commis sion, then development of the proj ect may, as has the Hells Canyon proposition, become a long drawn out hassle before the Federal Pow er Commission, which would grant . the permit for Priest Rapids. ; Gordon said engineers were near completion of plans the commis sion has in mind regarding the Priest Rapids project. businesses The action came in a new tight ening of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) standards on ac cepting jurisdiction in cases in volving application or the Tait Hartley Law. Other sew standards were announced on June 30. ' NLRB chairman Guy Farmer has said "Uncle Sam's long arm has reached out to assert itself over too many labor management situations which ought to be re solved closer to .their, origin." The NLRB expects the states to take over such . cases either by exercising present state laoor re lations laws or by enacting new ones. Officials estimate about 15 per cent of NLRB's cases will thus be eliminated. ; giving the federal board more time to devote to big ger cases. : Relmquisiunz NLRB jurisdiction doesn't mean employers and un ions involved become entirely ex empt from the T H Law' They could still sue each other in Fed eral Court for damages for violat ing one of the -federal labor law standards .which the- NLRB has now decided not to enforce from a public penalty standpoint . The new standards announced Wednesday apply to small retail s fores, newspapers, radio and tele vision stations, utility and transit systems, and companies, engaged in national defense work. The standards to be met before the NLRB will take a case include: Newspapers, radio and television stations Newspapers must have at least $300,000 annual gross reve nue. Radio and TV stations must have at least $200,000 gross reve nue. Up to now there has been no limit on NLRB jurisdiction if oper ations affected interstate 'com merce. . - ' Utility and transit companies The power, gas or water company. or intrastate public transit system must have a three million dollar annual gross business. Interstate transit systems must have annual gross income from interstate oper ations of at least $100,000 the board formerly exercised jurisdiction of all : utility and transit systems whose operations affected inter state commerce.

' Andrew Nicol, an investigator for the Bergen County, N. J., prosecu tor's, office, said the schools were set up ."all over the country," and the home repair program, us ing FHA-insured loans, was oper ated in some cases as a "typical confidence game." Fraudulent-use of the home re pair program, which still is in op eration, was included in the charg es which led the' Eisenhower ad ministration to start a full-scale probe of the Federal Housing Ad ministration (FHA) last April,, but the Senate has given most of its attention to the more spectacular million-dollar profits made under an; expired postwar apartment building program.

And long before color television made the headlines, telephone people were testing these circuits to see how well they'd work for color. This helped is develop the new equipment needed. to handle-color telecasts.' Now some programs for public viewing are1 being carried in color from city to city over the Bell System's coast-to-coast network.
