Power Production Loss of Funds for
Of Hell's Canyon Dam Ice Harbor Dam
DisDured bv Foes Blow to Hanford
Waqhineton OJ.F0 Oppon
ents of Hells Canyon dam called
on witnesses Wednesday to dis
pute Reclamation Bureau figures
on power production of the pro
posed project.
Bureau officials have told a
House reclamation subcommit
tee that the dam on the Oregon
Idaho border would allow pro
duction of more than 300,000
kilowatts of power at down
stream plants.
To Present Evidence
Rep. Hamer Budge, R-Ida., a
member of the subcommittee,
said Jack C. Stevens, Portland,
Ore., consulting engineer, would
present evidence that the bureau
fieures are too high.
Also scheduled to testify,
Budge said, were H. V. Sharp,
Filer, Ida., a director and former
president of the Idaho State
Reclamation association, and
Blaine Hallock, Baker, Ore., at
torney.
The present president of the
reclamation association, Charles
Welteroth, told the subcommittee
Tuesday that the organization
represented 00 per cent of the
water users of Idaho and was
on record as opposing the pro
ject.
Charaes Denied
Weleroth denied a charge by
some backers of the project that
the association's opposition was
influenced by the Idaho Power.
Co. The company has plana for
lower dams along the Hells Can
yon reservoir site.
The company contribu tes
money to the association, he
said, but only "on the same basis
as other businesses do. He said
its contribution last year was
S450.
Gov. Len B. Jordan of Idaho
said irrigators in his state want
to "dry up" the Snake river by
the time it reached the Hells
Canyon site. "That's our goal,
and we recognize no limitation
on that goal," he said.
All Idaho irrigation develop
ments on the river are upstream
from the dam site. Jordan said
present and future needs for the
developments should take prec
edence over use of the water for
power production at Hells Canyon.
Edge Taken Off
Flood Possibility
Burns, Ore. (U.F9 While
high water in the Burns area
diminished Wednesday, a stream
forecaster said that recent flood
ing has tended to take the edge
off the possibility of new floods.
W. T. Frost, Oregon snow sur
vey leader, said here Tuesday
at the 17th annual irrigation
committee meeting that stream
forecasts for the main John Day
river at Prairie City and the
North and Middle forks were
all new records. -But, he said,
melting of snow in mountain
foothills, which caused recent
floods, has cut down the danger
of further uncontrolled inunda
tions. In the Harney Basin, Frost
said, the snow cover has broken
all previous records. He report
ed that the overall snow cover
in the area was 91 per cent
above average.
Pigeon Follows Don
Everywhere He Goes
Birmingham, Ala. (U.R) In
the nursery rhyme, Mary had a
little lamb. In real life, Don
Teague has a little pigeon.
Don thought he came to a
friendless town when he moved
here from Arlington, Va., but a
pigeon which he named Butch
decided the youngter should not
be lonely. Shortly after Don ar
rived here he was riding on his
motor scooter when he noticed
a pigeon winging above him.
The pigeon soon followed Don
everywhere he went, like Mary's
lamb.
Royal Canadian Mounted Po
lice motto is not "they always get
their man" as popularly thought
The slogan is "maintain the
right."
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Henry M. Jackson, D-Wask said
Wednesday that elimination from
an Army civil functions appro
priation bill of an item for Ice
Harbor dam in Washington
jeopardizes the operation" of
the Hanford atomic works.
House Tentatively Agrees
The $5,000,000 item to start
construction of the dam was re
moved from the bill by the House
Appropriations Committee last
week, and the House agreed
tentatively to the elimination
late Tuesday.
Jackson also protested elimi
nation of funds for The Dalles
project and a cut in funds for
Chief Joseph dam. He said the
cuts would intensify a power
shortage in the Pacific North
west. If elimination of the Ice 'Har
bor item stands, Jackson said,
power production at the Snake
river project will be delayed at
least from 1956 until 1957.
Jeopardises Operation
"... This delay jeopardizes the
ODeration of the Hanford atomic
works," he said. "The Ice Harbor
dam is but a few miles southeast
of Hanford."
"Hanford now is solely de
pendent for electric power upon
a single line of supply which
comes to it from Grand Coulee
dam, more than 100 miles away.
The Hanford works must have
a continuous and large supply oJ
power."
Unless Ice Harbor is started.
he said, the Atomic Energy Com
mission probably "will insist on
spending approximately $60,'
000,000 or $70,000,000 for a
steam plant which must import
combustible fuel from other re
gions."

lines security, officer, notified
Capt. Richard . Mahoney and
Patrolman Palmer Hughes. They
found Erwin in the lobby of the
Frye hotel.
"Remember me, Jack, back in
1933?" Yoris asked.
The 220-pound fugitive whirl
ed and lashed out with both fists.
"You'll never get me without
killing me," he roared.
Mahoney, a former amateur
boxer, said later "I hit him with
my fists as hard as I could, but
it didn't seem to faze him.''
When Erwin finally was sub
dued, he was bleeding from num

he once had his gun pressed
against Erwin's head and was
about to pull the trigger when
