droelectric plant is expected to get
underway at once. j
PGE got past its final hurdle in !
its application to build the 440-foot
high dam deep in the gorge, just
downstream from the confluence
of the Metolius with the Deschutes,
on Friday when the Oregon Hydro
electric Commission voted 2 to 1
to grant a license for the project
- A geologic study of the site in
the narrow, spectacular gorge just
west of Round Butte, an old vol-'.

plant are about ready." Surveys for

been sketched.

Activity in the area even great
er than that in connection with
the Pelton dam, a short distance
downstream, is expected. Comple
tion of the project will take sev
eral years.
In Friday's action, Commission
Chairman James W. Morrell, Port
land, refused to go along with his
two Oregon Hydroelectric Com
mission colleagues in approving a
license for PGE. Morrell voted
negatively because of "unsolved
fish passage problems" and
charged that recreation facilities
planned for the Cove area will not
be adequate for those lost
Voting for the project were W.

The present Cove Palisades

has contracted to provide new fa
cilities, mostly in the "saddle"
area between Crooked and Des
chutes Rivers. A new road system

and new bridges will be built over
the Deschutes and' Crooked Riv
ers. ' Under provisions of the license,
PGE will not be permitted to at-
tain a pool elevation which would
inundate or cause detrimental ef
fects to Opal Springs. Cold water

Nip doctors,
denfhfs go
out on strike
TOKYO UPI About 100.000
Japanese doctors and dentists had
walked out of their hospitals today
in a strike to press a demand for
a 10 per cent raise in fees. They
warned that persons who fall ill
do so at (heir own risk.
The U.S. Army, Navy and Air
Force and the Japanese self de
fense forces opened the doors of
their hospitals to emergency cases
as the Tokyo government mobil
ized its largest ambulance force
since World War II to cope with
anticipated emergency cases.
The mass strike came in the
middle of a nation-wide flu epi
demic which has killed 22 persons
in Tokyo alone.
Premier Hayata Ikeda refused
to intervene personally in the dis
pute between the ruling Liberal
Democratic party and the strik
ing Japan Medical Association.
The doctor demanded a 10 per
cent Increase 'he fees they re
ceive under a government health
insurance program.
Dr. Taro Takemi, chairman of
the medical association and chief
spokesman for the striking doe
tors, said the doctors were "mod
ern slaves." Welfare Minister Yo-
shima Furui disputed them.
The, Japan Medical Association
said later it had asked local chap
ters to designate individual doc
tors to take care of emergency
cases.

LEOPOLD VILLE, Congo (ITPI)
Native troops in Stanleyville,
traditional stronghold of the slain

were reported today to have
thrown their support to Maj. Gen.
Joseph Mobutu, strong man of the
Leopoldville regime.
Unconfirmed reports said the
shift in allegiance of the troops
controlling the eastern provincial
capital followed a secret meeting
between Mobutu and Victor Lun
dula, Lumumba-appointed com
mander in the Stanleyville area.
There were some indications
that troops in Bukavu, another
former pro-Lumumba stronghold,

Mine disaster

J-IANNESBURG, South Africa
(UPI) Weary rescue workers
toiled through the night seeking
additional survivors of a mine dis
aster that claimed at least 26
lives when a half-ton of dynamite
exploded 503 feet below ground
in a gold mine near here.
The bodies of 22 natives and
four white men were brought out
of the mine and officials said the
death count would probably reach
30. Another 10 miners were hos
pitalized, suffering from effects of
noxious fumes.
The disaster occurred at dawn
Friday when 20 cases of dynamite
exploded as they were being
lowered into the main reefs mine
of the South Roodenpoort Works,
15 miles west of here. Many min
ers waiting at the bottom of the
shaft were trapped by the blast

the amount of revenue derived

enough to warrant replacing it
