churches, there have been minor
ity rumblings of protest during
Ihe years the plan has been deve
loping, and threats by some in
dividual churches to quit the de
nomination. Final Action Planned
Final action is due at a meeting
of the church's General Council,
Its central body, in Omaha Neb.,
June 20-27. Approval of the plan
would mean a rare feat in bring
ging separate denominations to
gether. Over the past half century, there
have been numerous church con
solidations in this country. They
have amounted to reunions or
closing of ties between historical
ly related bodies.
But as for the new union, Dr.
Truman B. Douglass, a Congrega
tional Christian executive, says:
"The union to which we arc com
mitted will be for American Pro
testantism the crossing of a divide
which it has not previously sur
mounted and will open a vast new
prospect before all denominations.
"We arc achieving a union for
the first time in this country
across the family lines that have
conventionally marked off the
main groupings of Proloslantism."
Organisation Vary
Not only do the two denomina
tions differ in origin and cultural
lineage, but their organizational
structures vary, at least in theory
and tradition. The proposed un
ion promises survival to both.

PGE Seeking
Bill Hearing
PORTLAND m Senate hear
ings on an amendment to a bill
which would ban construction of
Pelton Dam were demanded Tues
day by Portland General Electric
Co.
The amendment to Senate Bill
863 would have the same effect
as a bill introduced by Oregon's
Democratic Sens. Neuherger and
Morse, said Thomas W. Delzell,
chairman of the PGR board.
Delzell said his firm had been
promised bearings on the Morse
Neuberger bill. In view of this, he
said, the Neuherger amendment
lo Hie olher bill, also should be
Ihe subject of hearings.
He said PC.E had spent more
than two million dollars on the
Central Oregon hydroelectric proj
ect which it was licensed to build
by the Federal Power Commis
sion. In addition, he said, PGE
has made firm commitments to
talling 1.1 million dollars.
Cancellation of the firm's li
cense, which Neuberger is seek
ing, would be a repudiation of 'a
federal commitment, the PGE
executive said. Delzell said this
would be unconstitutional or at
least a violation of the Federal
Power Act.
until next week brought a prompt
retort from Hill's attorney Ralph
Wycoff, who said Tuesday he in
tended to bring suit against the
commission unless it "took ac
tion" soon on the civil serv
ice commissions recommenda
tion that Hill be rehired.
Wycoff pointed out that It has
been 23 days since the civil serv
ice commission, in a hearing
Mav 23, reinstated Hill to the
civil service rules. The commis
sion must now either give Hill
his job back or rule that he has
lost it for good. Wycoff claims
they are stalling.
Hill, a resident of Noti, was
discharged April 26 from his job
as a safety inspector with the
accident commission. He then ap
pealed to the state civil service
commission from the discharge
order.
He had been employed as an
inspector for six years. He now
holds a temporary private job.
One member of the accident
commission said he wanted to
read the full transcript of testi
mony at the hearing before
reaching a decision.

Wallace Loses
Pearson Suit
WASHINGTON HI Lew Wal
lace's quarter million dollar libel
suit against columnist Drew Pear
son, was dismissed Monday by
U. S. District Judge Dickinson
Lilts.
Wallace, a Portland politician,
filed the suit alter Pearson said
in his column that Wallace had
urged President Eisenhower to
"exert pressure" on then Secre
tary of the Interior Douglas Mc
Kay to award mining patents to
the owners of the Al Sarena Mines
Inc.
The patents arc for property in
Oregon's Rogue River National
Forest. Democrats contend that
the firm sought the patents for the
timber, not the minerals.
Wallace said that Pearson s
statement was meant to convey
the impression that he was guilty
of conduct "unbecoming a person
who has held public office in the
past.
Judge Letts ruled that the com
plaint failed to state a legal
claim.
