As approved, the measure au
thorizes construction of six stor
age and power dams on the Col
orado and its tributaries, and 38
participating irrigation and wa
ter supply units in the four-state
area of Colorado, New Mexico,
Utah and Arizona.
Further Action Necessary
Further action by Congress is
necessary before actual construc
tion could start on 21 of the par
ticipating units.
The dams involved are Echo
Park, Juniper, Flaming Gorge,
and Currecant in Colorado,
Navajo in New Mexico and Glen
Canyon on the Utah-Arizona
border.
Participating units that can be
built on a "finding of feasibil
ity" by the Interior Department

Florida, Pine River extension,
Emergy County, Central Utah,

Strike in 6th Day;
Vorkers Warned
London (U.R) The giant
presses along London s newspa
per row" were idled by the strike
of mechanical and electrical em
ployees for the sixth straight day
today. Publishers warned 15,000
non-striking production workers
of layoffs if the tieup continued.
A spokesman for the Newspa
per Proprietors' association said
negotiations' between manage
ment and the strikers still are
deadlocked. Some 700 electri
cians and maintenance workers
walked out Friday, halting publi
cation of morning, afternoon and
Sunday newspapers.
Two-Week Notices
The spokesman said produc
tion employees will be lopped
off the payroll April 15 under
two-week layoff notices if the
newspapers are not back on the
street by then.
"We don't plan to issue notices
to editorial and advertising
men," he said. "They are not af
fected by the dispute at present.
Both the strikers and the
Newspaper Proprietors' associa
tion held separate meetings last
night. Strike Committee Chair
man George Tilbury announced
the strikers "will be prepared
to negotiate through any chan
nel but we are not making the
first move."
Neither was the Publishers
Association which had offered to
submit the wage demands to ar
bitration and to accept the find
ings. The strikers rejected that
offer.

Morse Asks Investigation of
BPA-Idaho Power Contract
Washington U.P.) Sen.
Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.) asked to
day for an investigation of a 20
year power exchange contract
signed recently between the
Bonneville Power administration
in the Pacific Northwest and the
Idaho Power company.
He said it's possible the com
pany could make a "financial
killing at the expense of the
taxpayers" under the contract.
BPA is the government agency
distributing power from Grand
Coulee and other federal dams in
the area.
Morse's request was made in a
letter to James E. Murray (D.
Mont.) of the Senate Interior
committee. The letter said in
part:
300 To Take Part
In Spring Concert
A total of 300 Medford senior
high school music students will
combine their talents Friday
evening for the school's annual
Spring concert, according to I.
A. Mirick, supervisor of instru
mental music.
Included on the program will
be a 90-piece symphonic band,
a 60-voice choir, a 60-piece sym
phony orchestra, a 70-voice girls
chorus, and a 24-voice male
chorus.
The program, scheduled to
start at 8 p.m., will be held in
the high school ''auditorium.
There will be no reserved seats
and tickets may be purchased
at the high school office, from
any music student, or at the
door. Doors will open at 7 p.m

"The contract reportedly pro
vides for the delivery of surplus
power between BPA and the
company and leaves to each par
ty the determination of what
amounts of power are to be de
livered. In the nature of the case
BPA would be delivering sum
mer dump power at dump power
rates, Morse said.
"A careful examination would
seem indicated into the question
of the rates at which the com
pany would resell the power and
at what profit. If the Idaho
Power company resells the dump
power at firm power rates, it
would be making a financial
killing at the expense of the tax
payers."
Morse also said in the letter
there is "fear that this deal is
an attempt to fence off the east
ern Oregon area from public
power and a move to appropri
ate, in advance for the Idaho
Power company, the enormous
benefits that could be anticipat
ed from the low cost power of a
federal Hells Canyon dam."
