Advocates of feder al development and those urging ' private development find in this report items supporting their case and items with which they are in dissent Clearly the findings do not settle the question. The bat tle will be fought over again be fore the whole federal power com mission and in Congress itself. The Costello report gives a green light to Idaho Power, but only for one of the three dams it wants licenses for, and then with an estimate of power cost (6.6 mills) whichjs considered exces sive. (Present BPA rate is two mills per kwh). Advocates of a high dam are cheered by Costel lo's statement that "if federal . planners were confronted with a choice between the three - dam plan and the single high dam the high dam -would be indicated as the proper choice, But its sup porters who 'hive been urging such a development on Congress are set back by Costello's com ment that congressional approval of an appropriation for a federal dam in Hells Canyon was so un - likely that it would be a "com pletely useless action" for FPC to recommend federal construction. Judging by comments made aft er the publication of the Costello findings each side in this now V prolonged controversy is planning i to carry forward the battle.

Igandn to ComfeFeiice , . i House Jolts Hawaii, Alaska Statehood Plan WASHINGTON tf The House Tuesday night again jolted the statehood hopes of Hawau and Alaska. ' A 218-170 vote sent back to com mittee a bill to admit both terri tories as states. There was still a possibility that the Insular Affairs Committee would act on separate measures ror each territory, but Chairman Engle (D Calif) said the magni tude of the negative vote "raises a serious question" whether such moves would be successful. . N Help Received Engle told newsmen supporters of the combined measure received no help from the House Demo cratic leadership and met active hostility from Republican Leader Martin of Massachusetts and As sistant Leader Halleck of Indiana. That active opposition plus passive opposition from Speax er Ray burn D Tex) probably will apply with equal force against separate bills," Engle said. On the rollcall, 105 Democrats and 113 Republicans voted in ef fect to kill the combined bill, while voting for it were 107 Democrats and 63 Republicans. Democrats had sponsored the measure linking the territories to gether after President Eisenhower urged statehood for Hawaii but said the time hadn't yet arrived to admit Alaska. As a rule, Alaska votes Demo cratic and Hawaii goes Republi can. Opponents Too Mock But as it turned out in the House, the union of opponents to admis sion of one or the other proved too much- foc-the joint effort.- - Last year the Senate passed a bill to make Hawau and Alaska the 49th and 50th states, but the joint measure died in the House Rules Committee. The House had approved Hawaii alone, as it had on two prior -occasions. In 1930 the House also approved a sepa rate Alaska measure. The most frequent objection posed in two days of debate on the current bill was that neither Hawaii nor Alaska is contiguous to the U. S. mainland.
