Hell's Canyon Bill
Challenge Hurled
By Sen. Wayne Worse
The Dalles (U.R) Sen.
Wayne Morse, Oregon Democrat,
last night challenged Gov. Paul
L. Patterson and Oregon Re
publicans to take a stand on his
controversial Hells Canyon bill.
Morse's bill calls for construc
tion of a high federal multipur
pose dam across the Snake river
on the Oregon-Idaho border,
rather than the three low dams
proposed by the Idaho Power
company.
Before a crowd of 500 in The
Dalles High school auditorium
Morse called on Gov. Patterson
to decide "whether you are for
It or against it."
Morse said the Republicans
would be responsible if his Hells
Canyon bill failed to pass.
Twenty-eight Democrats and
two Republicans signed the bill
and other Democrats including
Sen. Alben Barkley have indi
cated their support.

County Sanitarian
Advises X-Rays
For Food Handlers
Employers and employees of
the food service industry are
urged by Orie Moore, county
sanitarian, to have chest x-rays
this week at the county's ' two
permanent chest x-ray -centers.
The Community hospital . cen
ter is open for public x-rays to
morrow from 2 to - 6 p.m. and
the newly- established Sacred
Heart center Thursday from 2
to 5 p.m., according to a spokes
man for the Jackson County
Publfc Health association, which
installed the x-rays in-cooperation
with the hospitals and oth
er groups.
To Protect Customers
Although there is no Oregon
law requiring physical examina
tions of those associated with
the food industry, Moore said
such workers should take ad
vantage of the x-rays to pro
tect their customers. There are
regulations, however, forbidding
anyone with a communicable
disease from working in the
food distributing industry.
Any person desiring a chest
x-ray may call at either center
during out-patient hours., with
out appointment. A -charge of
$1.75 is made to cover the actual
cost of the film, it was said. -
