Confusion Claimed
On Projected Dam
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Wayne Morse Saturday accused
opponents of Hell's Canyon dam,
including the governor of Idaho,
with trying to confuse and mis
lead the House Interior Affairs
committee.
The Oregon Republican said
testimony before the commit
tee this week was intended "to
scare the people of Idaho" into
believing there is not enough
water in the Snake river for
both upstream irrigation and
power production at Hell's Can
yon. Morse said he will testify in
support of the project after the j
usier recess.
He said Gov. Len Jordan of
Idaho, who wants to use all the
Snake's water, for Idaho irriga
tion, neglected to say that pow
er revenues from Hell's Canyon
or a similar dam are needed to
repay the cost of irrigation
works.
