WASHINGTON (II - Democrats

Interior Committee clashed Thurs
day over whether dams tn the Hells
Canyon stretch of the Snake River
should be authoriied by Confreu
er Ikeneed by the Federal Power
' Commission (FPC). r
, Contradictory majority and min
ority reports were fiied with the
Senate oa a controversial bill to
authorize a federal dam In the
liver bordering Idaho and Ore-
ion, where the Idaho Power Co.
has been licensed by the commis-
sioa to, build three smaller dams
: Committee Democrats favor the
authorisation bill which the Senate
Is expected to debate within two
, weeks. Republicans oppose it al
though some voted in committee to
bring it np on the floor. .,
. Tbo majority report said the
ocensinf of the private power dams
"clearly infringes" on the right of
Congress. It also said: '
, The minority report said the FPC
; legally issued a license to Idaho
, Power Ce. after detailed compari
soa of the rival dam-buildinf pro
posals and that advocates of the
federal project "would commit the
Congress to a task for which it has
neither the time nor the technical
- resources.

that Congress has the power to
authorize a high dam and this

The commission issued a li
cense in spite of the examiner's
finding that the federal dam would
be best adapted to a comprehen

"clearly infringes oa the Jurisdic
tion of Congress'' which under the
federal power law has power to
authorise dams for the benefit of
the public.. , .

I. "The committee finds that the
federal high dam is the best pro

basin" (the Army Engineers "main
control plan for the Columbia and
its tributaries").
