Rivals for authority to develop
- power in the mid-section of Snake
river are busy picking to pieces
the report of FPC Examiner Wil
liam Costello. 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

First Step Toward
Cancer Vaccine
NEW YORK m A first
step toward a vaccine against
cancer was described Tuesday
to the Society of American
Bacteriologists.
Cancer cells, pooled from 56
human patients, were injected
repeatedly' under the skins of
horses. The horses developed
antibodies in their blood
against the cancer cells.
These antibodies proved able
to destroy human cancer cells
in test-tubes without harming
healthy cells, said Drs. Bertil

Coon to Debate

WASHINGTON U Sen. Neu
berger i(D-Ore) Tuesday challenged
iep. coon iR-Ore) to a series of
debates! on whether Coon's bill for
partnership construction of John
Day Dam is in the public interest
Coon told a newsman he would
accepted the challenge.
"I'll debate him anytime, any
place at our mutual convenience,"
Coon declared.
Challenge by Letter
Neuberger issued his challenge
in a letter to Coon in which he
said the congressman has during
the past week "called me various
names because I have been factu
ally critical of the so-called 'part
nership power bill which you have
introduced to turn over the John
Day power facilities to certain pri
vate utilities.

He suggested the debates be
held in The Dalles, Baker, Pendle

that a leading clergyman or edu
cator in leach city act as impar

Name Calling"
j"If yon are interested in facts
rather than name-calling press re

confident: you will accept my of

Coon who has just returned from
Oregon, said he would have a fur

Wednesday or the next day.
Coon's jbul would provide that
local interests would pay John

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.
