U.S. Cancels Bid to Finance Egpyt Dam WASHINGTON T h e Vnited States cracked down on Egypt Thursday night by can celing a previous offer to iielp finance the Jl.390.OOt.0Ot As wan high dam oa the Nile River. The sudden action left the way clear for Russia to step in if it ran and desires to sid President Gamal Abdul Nas ser's government in launching the huge irrigation-power pro ject. The State Department, in an nouncing the decision, said bluntly that "it is not feasible" any longer for the U.S. to go ahead with the offer extended last December.

II The south fork of McKenzie River joins the main stream a little ways below the community of McKenzie Bridge. On the south fork the corps of engineers is pro ceeding with the construction of Cougar Dam. This is the dam which the Eugene Water It Elec tric Board wanted to have set up as a partnership with the govern ment EWiEB financing the power installation and contributing an additional sum for general con struction, and then taking the elec tric energy for its customers. Senator Morse killed off this part nership, and with the aid of Sen ator Neubergcr, obtained appro priations for an exclusive federal project. Power, though, will be flowing from it in a few years. We visited the site of this dam on our forest tour Monday and found workmen beginning -with power drills to drive the diversion tunnel throuch the rib of a moun tain. The public doesn't realize the impart of a major construction job like this on the forest. First, the rcervoir site must be cleared of timber. The forest service sets up sales for all the merchantable stulf, then the corps of engineers awards contracts for cleanup and burning of forest debris as was done at Detroit 'Dam. On this south- fork some 15 million feet of logs will be taken off the valley floor and sides to the top of the flow line. This puts a big load of (Contioaed on editorial page, 4.)
