Kef auver Says
Nation Taking
'Road to Ruin'
By JOHN CHADWICK
MARQUETTE, Mich. W Sen.
Estes Kefauver said today
the Eisenhower administration is
"taking us down the dreary and
familiar Republican road wmcn
runs from reaction to ruin."
The Democratic vice-presidential
candidate described this as a
road "of high cost-of-living and
high Interest rates, of spotty un
employment and lopsided prosper
ity, of governmental concern with
corporate profits rather than hu
man welfare."
In a speech prepared for a
luncheon meeting here during a
one-day political foray into Michi
gan, he also contended that "Wail
Street has been substituted for
Main Street as the hub of the na
tion."., Hs said that "the Republicans
have fought against extension of
Social Security, public housing
and public power, a decent school
bill, and revision or repeal of the
Taft-Hartley Act."
"They have permitted, and even
invited, plunder of our natural re
sources on a scale that would have
horrified Theodore Roosevelt," he
said.
At another point, he said, "They
' have stacked the various inde
pendent regulatory commissions,
which are supposed to' be watch
dogs of the public welfare, with
tcpresentatives of the very groups
(hey are supposed, to regulate."
He also contended anew that

Cooper Query
Kinsey Robinson Hotly
Denies Untruths in
Hearing on Dams
WASHINGTON I President
Kinsey Robinson of the Pacific
Northwest Power Co. " denied ve
hemently Monday that he had
made untruthful , statements dur
ing a Power Commission hearing
on PNP's application to build two
Snake River dams.
Robinson 'contended the accusa
tion was made by Mrs. Evelyn
Cooper, an attorney representing
public power groups advocating
federal dams on the Snake, and
demanded that she offer an ex
planation.
Pacific Northwest Power is
seeking a Power Commission li
cense to construct the Pleasant
Valley and Mountain Sheep dams
on the Snake, a tributary of the
Columbia River.
"You accused me of making
untruthful statements," Robinson
shouted at Mrs. Cooper during
cross examination, pounding the
arm of his chair for emphasis.
1 want to know about that.
When a Power Commission ex
aminer said Mrs. Cooper had
asked that Robinson be recalled
to clear up what she thought were
"apparent inconsistencies," Rob
inson replied angrily:
"Untruthful statements is the
way I read the record . . . that's
what I'm waiting to hear I
mean business."
Over the objections of PNP's
attorney, Hugh Smith, Mrs. Coop
er questioned Robinson closely
about the relationship between
Ebasco Services Inc., a New York
consulting engineering firm, and
Pacific Northwest Power Co. and
Washington Water Power Co.,
which Robinson also heads.
Robinson denied that Ebasco,
which assisted as consultants in
plans for Mountain Sheep and
Pleasant Valley, was a holoing
company over WWP.
In response to questions by
Mrs. Cooper, Robinson also said:
1. PNP did not include the cost
of sluice gate valves in its cost
estimates for the two dams be
cause PNP believed the federal
government should stand the ex
pense of flood control features.
2. The two dams were planned
on the assumption that Idaho
Power Co. would build three low
level dams upstream.
3. He did not believe the Se
curities and Exchange Commis
sion would reject Pacific North
west Power Co.'s financing plans
in the proposed ratio o( bonds to
be sold and money to be borrowed.

Discuss Plan
For John Day
THE DALLES, Ore. tin A
plan for construction of John Day
Dam on the Columbia River was
discussed herei Monday by repre
sentatives .of four public power
cities in Oregon and the Klickitat
County (Wash.) Public Utility
District. No definite action was
taken.
Klickitat County PUD Manager
Emmet E. Clouse called the ses
sion, he said, because he felt the
proposed 310 million dollar dam
should be a regional project.
The PUD has applied for a pre
liminary permit for the Federal
Power Commission to study the
possibility of building the dam in
partnership with the federal gov
ernment. Federal construction of
the project has been authorized
and a bill was introduced in the
last session of Congress to per
mit local agencies to join with the
federal government. This measure
died in committee, though.
Among those' attending the
meeting were McMinnville city
power superintendent Milton Me-
Guire. Forest Grove city manager
Mel Gardner, Milton - Freewater
city attorney. J. T. Monahan and
Henry F. Bcistel, executive direc
tor of the Eugene Water and Elec
tric Board.
