Marr Raps Langlie's Stand on Issue of Hells Canyon Dam Spokane (U.B Jamea T. Marr secretary of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, criti cized Gov. Arthur B. Langlie's stand on the controversial Hells Canyon issue here yesterday, executive apparently based his dicision to oppose a high Federal dam there "on erroneous in formation." Marr told the Pacific North west Council of Lumber and Sawmill workers that Langlie had said In a speech at Yakima, ' Wash., several weeks ago ,that another peculiar characteristic about the Snake river is that its high water flow Is In the winter months." Peculiar Chartctaristics Marr, who also is president of the National Hells Canyon Asso ciation, said Langlie "used these peculiar river flow characteris tics in an attempt to show that the Snake does not have enough ...when you open the door will thtrt It rafrasiiif Olyapia Ittr yaw rtfrigirsttr skill? , Stock ttdoyl Ot-pw. Woh,U V A. water to fill the great ells Canyon reservoir." However, Marr said, "the high flow of the Snake comes in March, April, May and June not in the winter months as the governor was apparently advised by his mysterious engineering expert." He said if the river flowed the way the governor's engineering expert said, there probably would not be enough water to operate Hells Canyon dam. But, he added, "even dur ing the driest year on record, enough water wasted through Hells Canyon to more than fill the Hells Canyon reservoir twice." Conclusion Doubted Marr said, "The governor said that his opposition was based on information supplied to him by an engineer 'who was hired to devote his full time to find out what the answers were for the people of the state of-Washington, and paid by the people of the state of Washington.' "The fact that his basic premise regarding Snake river flow is erroneous casts doubts on his conclusion." EGG CAPITAL Storrs, Conn.
