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

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.

Reserve Bill
WASHINGTON (tfl Rebellious
members of the House Armed
Services Committee Tuesday
blocked quick action on a new
military reserve bill and sent it
back to a subcommittee for fur
ther study.
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

Veteran Druggists
To Be Honored

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.

TOTAL ECLIPSE 'litis picture, made in Manila June
20, shows what some scientists say is the longest total
eclipse in nearly 1,250 years. 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.

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.

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.
