Higher Bonneville Power Rates
Seen to Meet Project Costs
Washineton. Feb. 10 ff) Senators heard Thursday that the
power rate of the Bonneville power administration will have
to be increased.
The senate interior committee, was told that if 16 additional
plants are built and their power added to the Bonneville pool, the
rate would have to be S Zl.57 lor
each "kilowatt year."
H. R. Stinson, counsel for the
reclamation bureau's regional of
fice at Boise, Idaho, testified
that higher costs of construction
would require higher rates. He
declined to estimate what they
should be.
"Taking into account the ex
isting Bonneville and Grand
Coulee power plants and hereto
fore authorized army projects
s.ich as McNary, and disregard
ing the irrigation subsidy re
quirements of the Columbia ba
sin project, present estimates in
terms of present costs are that
the existing rate of $17.50 a year
will have to be increased," Stin
son said.
"This is the result of the high
costs now being incurred In con
nection with the various recently
authorized projects such as Mc-
Nary dam. Chief Joseph dam (on
the Columbia river) and the low
er Snake river dams."
Stinson contended that if the
$17.50 rate is continued, the
time allowed for the Columbia
basin project to pay for itself
will have to be increased from
50 years to 125 years.
Senator Cordon (R., Ore.)
read into the record a new re
port from the Bonneville agency
which said the Columbia basin
project would be paid out and a
surplus left over in a 50-year
period. It said the $17.50 rate
would be continued for five
years.
Senator O'Mahoney (D., Wyo.)
chairman of the committee said
the proposed Columbia basin ac
count, which the committee Is
considering, "is an effort to help
finance that part of irrigation
costs that settlers on the proj
ects cannot pay."
The committee recessed the
hearing until some day next
week.
Tuesday they will have a Val
entine party at the home of Ro
berta De Weese at 2005 Byram

Pooch Recovered;
Journey Resumed
Topeka, Kans., Feb. 10 (U.R)
John P. Martin's pooch predica
ment ended today when he got
his dog back.
Forced to tarry in Topeka
after his car broke down, Mar
tin's stay was lengthened when
his brindle colored cocker-beagle
wandered off.
Martin, who sent his wife and
two small sons by train to Little
Rock, Iowa, had said he couldn't
drive on in his repaired car
without the dog, named Ginger.
The dog was returned to Mar
tin after a newspaper outlined
his plight. Two little boys, old
er than Martin's, found the dog.
The delayed traveler rewarded
them, then left this afternoon
for Iowa.
Martin, a recent University of
Arizona graduate, visited St.
Louis while the car was being
worked on here. Next, he said
he'll look for an advertising job
in Chicago.

Takes Over Bus
New York, Feb. 10 (U.BA
giant armed with a butcher knife
chased the driver and 20 pas
sengers off a bus in the Times
Square area today and then
drove off with the bus.
He was captured a few blocks
away and identified himself as
John Maione, 36, a longshore
man. He was six feet and four
inches tall and his muscles were
in proportion.
Maione told police he took
the bus merely because he
wanted "a ride." But police
said he had taken $4.29 from
the cash box before he fled and
thev charged him with assault
and robbery.
Maione boarded the bus at
Broadway and 44th street. Pro
ducing a knife with a heavy,
eight-inch blade, he began yell
ing: "Everybody out. Every
body out."
The passengers and the driver
complied without argument.
Maione slipped behind the wheel
and the bus roared off. Two
blocks down Broadway he pulled
it to a stop, opened the door,
leaped out and started running.
But police already had assem
bled in number and pursuing
detectives brought him down.
