Newspaper Page Text4B Register-Guard, Eugene. Ore.Tues., June 21. 1955 Decisive Action Due On Hells Canyon ator's vote this week could be decisive in the controversy over whether the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake River should he har nessed by the federal govern ment or by the Idaho Power Co. . The Senate Interior Committee Thursday is scheduled to con sider a bill to authorize a big federal dam in the river border ing Idaho and Oregon, where Idaho Power Co. wants to build three smaller power projects. The vote will be extremely close interviews with key mem bers of the 15-man committco in dicate Democrats sponsoring the bill will have to swing over one Republican member to get it through. . If the Democrats can muster the necessary eight votes, the bill will move to the Senate floor for debate. If the Republicans stick together, the bill will die and its proponents will nave lost grnunu in their fight to stop the Federal Power Commission from acting on Idaho Power s proposals. HEAR ARGUMENTS The FPC is to hear arguments for and against the company's applications July 6, and will rule on them later. FPC counsel John C. Mason has recommended li censing the company's three pro nosed dams. FPC examiner Wil liam J. Costello recommended a license for one company project. Advocates of the federal Hells Canyon Dam, fearing the FPC will rule for Idaho Power, hope to Bet some sort of congressional approval for their bill before the FPC acts. Twenty-six of the 30 senators ; sponsoring the bill signed a letter to the FPC alter the measure was Introduced, calling upon the com-l mission to defer action on Idaho By JOHN KAMPS Or The AtiocUted Frets WASHINGTON Ul One sen-. Power's application. They said tne lmroauction oi me ocnaie bill and identical House measures indicated that Congress desired to retain jurisdiction over the Snake River. ' Committee approval of the Sen ate bill would add weight to this argument. Committee disapprov al probably would have the ef fect of killing the House bills as well as the Senate measure for this year, at least. LONG OPPOSED The House Reclamation sub committee has set aside time for hearings on House Hells Canyon bills June 29-July 1. No arrange ments for the hearing have been made, however, and they probab ly will be cancelled if the Senate bill is rejected In committee. The Democrats, who for years have used Hells Canyon as a po litical issue, arc sure of six votes in the committee. The six sena tors, all Democrats and sponsors of the bill, are Chairman Murray (Mont), Anderson (NM), Jack son (Wash), O'Mahoncy (Wyo) Scott (NO. and Ncuberger (Ore). Sen. Bible (D-Ncv) also is ex pected to vote for the bill. The eighth "aye" would have to come from a Republican since Sen. Long (La), eighth Democrat on the committee, plans to vote against the bill Long has made no secret of the fact that he is adverse to voting to build a federal dam in Idaho when both Idaho senators arc against it. KUC1IEL UNDECIDED Five of the seven Republican members arc expected to vote against the bill. They are Sens. Dworshak (Idaho), Barrett (Wyo), Goldwatcr (Ariz), Malonc (Ncv), and Watkins (Utah). Sen. Millikcn (R-Colo) voted "present" when the Senate Recla mation subcommittee .approved the bill, 3-1. However, Neuberger said after the closed subcommit tee meeting that Millikcn read a hostile statement indicating he was an opponent of the bill.

By a 16-14 vote the committee (' 'cided to give the subcommittee live days to work on the new version of President Eisenhower's "vital" reserve program. The vote came after Subcommittee Chairman Brooks (D-La) com plained his group was being bypassed. Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) had urged the full committee to act Tuesday on a compromise meas ure he is sponsoring. He said House leaders wanted to get it to the floor by Thursday. Elsenhower has called for pub lic support for a strengthened re serve which he said is necessary lor the country s defense. Vinson called the committee together for action on his com promise, shorn of an anti-scgrc- galion feature and other contro versial elements. The House stalemated over an original measure which, in ex panding the reserve, would per mit assignment of reservists to under-strength National Guard units. The impasse came when the House voted to bar such as ignmcnts to National Guard forc es practicing racial segregation Veteran Druggists To Be Honored PENDLETON Wl Druggists with 33 years or more in the business will be honored by the nrrgnn .State Pharmaceutical Assn. which opened its annual Convention here Monday. Some 200 persons had checked Jn for the two-day convention. Convention delegates were to pay special honor to a group within the organization which calls itself "Veteran Druggists." Members cannot qualify (or that group with less than 25 years aervicc. A speaker at the early session was John lleiiu, president of the American Pharmaceutical Assn. terior Committee. Kuchel says he hasn't made up his mind on the Hells Canyon bill and that he has been busy read ing up on it. NO HINT GIVEN Backers of the bill are hopeful Kuchel will hear in mind that California project legislation soon will come before the committee and they will have votes for or against it. Kuchel's record in the Senate gives no hint as to how he may vote in the controversy over whether Hells Canyon should be reserved for a 400-millinn-dnllar public power project or licensed for three private power dams estimated to cost 133 million. The Californian has given no indication that he is opposed to public power. In fact, he opposed a "partnership" proposal for con struction of Trinity project in California by federal and non federal groups. And he's backing a bill calling for federal construc tion of the project. FOUGHT BILL Kuchel generally has support ed the Eisenhower administra tion. However, he fought the big project hill which was endorsed by the administration, on grounds it would be detrimental to Cali fornia. The Eisenhower administration docs not favor the Hells Canyon hill. It feels the Federal Power Commission should decide wheth er private or public power dams ought to be huill in the area. The Department of the Interior under the preceding Democratic administration intervened at I he FPC hearing against Idaho Pow er's applications. The department under the present administration withdrew its opposition. -.

The moon blanked the sun over an estimated-1,276,000 square miles of the earth's surface. The streak of darkness started in the Indian Ocean and raced at 24 miles a minute for 7,200 miles across Ceylon, Thailand, Indochina, and the Philippines into the Pacific Ocean. In the Philippines the longest totality was 7 minutes, 4 seconds. City Manager Asks Garbage, Trash Haulers to Take Care Eugene City Manager Robert Finlayson appealed to residents Tuesday to be more careful in handling garbage and junk in con taincrs when hauling over city streets to the county dump south of Eugene. 'We want them to watch and sec that nothing falls off during the trip to the dump, he said. "We've received quite-a few com plaints about it." .. Finlayson indicated that a city ordinance requires trucks to be covered when hauling garbage. Other containers used for junl; or garbage must also be secured. The city manager said papers and pieces of garbage have lit tered tho streets in the southern part of the city during recent months. It is the responsibility of persons hauling refuse to keep the, material in containers. CLAM DIG PISMO BEACH, Calif. HP) Some 18,000 clam-lovers bagged the limit- recently when tho fish and game department opened two Pismo clam refuges after they had been closed for five years. Largest catch of the opening day measured seven inches in dia meter. Boy Scouts and local sportsmen assisted department men in returning discarded and undersized clams to the sands. Finlayson also issued a memo randum to garbage truck opera tors in the city, reminding them that it is against the law to wash and flush garbage cans and dump the refuse into the streets around restaurants. 'This practice is unsanitary and must be discontinued imme diately," the city manager wrote. "If cans must he flushed out at the place of pickup, it is suggest ed that the flushing water be poured in the truck which is re quired to have a leak-proof body." He also asked cooperation in keeping the commercial garbagi trucks covered during trips to and from the dump. MOVING?
