Phoa Tuesday, April 5, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE 4fX9CS Pro Hells Canyon Material Said Kept Out of Papers by Big Money Pasco, Wash. (U.R) A joint Senate-House subcommit tee touring the Northwest for testimony on the proposed fed eral dam in Halls canyon on the Snake river resumed its hearing here today. Charges that "big money" had kept pro Hells canyon dam ma terial off radio stations and out of newspapers and a description of public power as "pool room prosperity," highlighted the hearing in Idaho yesterday. At Lewiston, Ida., the first witness, Sam Fretwell, Parma, Ida., president of the Washington-Idaho Hells canyon associa tion, charged that Idaho Power company, the Idaho Reclamation association and the Idaho Cham ber of Commerce had joined forces to cause radio stations and newspapers in southern Ida ho to refuse to use material from the Hells Canyon associatin. He did not identify any sta tions or papers but claimed that advertising had been withdrawn from mediums which used asso ciation material and in one case the owners of a weekly paper had been forced to sell. Ed Mathews Blasts Three Round Trippers Louisville, Ky. (U.R) It took Ed Mathews a while to get the range but the Milwaukee Braves' slugger is back today on the home run beam. Mathews blasted three hom ers in Nashville, Tenn., Mon day. They weren't quite enough however, as the Dodgers pound ed out a 10-8 victory to square the spring series with Milwau kee at four wins each. Hank Aaron also homered for the Braves while Sandy Amoros hit two two-run homers for the Dodgers. The "pool room prosperity" remark, which drew laughter from about 800 persons jammed into the Lewis and Clark hotel, came from A. B. Curtis, mayor of Orofino, Ida. "Hells canyon dam would cost us money without providing any taxes," Curtis said. He cited Bonner County, Ida., which he said collected $3,480 a year annually from Washington Water Power company before the firm built its Box canyon dam there. Now, he said, the county collects nearly $500,000 a year from WWP. John George, Lewiston, na tional vice - president of the Rural Electrification association, another proponent of the high federal dam, said "Idaho is far behind her sister states because our high officials are against public power." He said the "largest aluminum .deposit in America" lies in Latah county Election To Select Seamen's Union Ends San Francisco (U.R) Bal loting has ended in a National Labor Relations board election to choose a union for Pacific Coast seamen. However, an NLRB spokes man said the vote count may be delayed because of an appeal by Harry Bridges' longshore un ion to the TJ. S. Supreme Court to invalidate the election. The vote was conducted among unlicensed seamen on ships belonging to members of the Pacific Maritime association. The contestants were Harry Lundeberg's AFL Seamen's In ternational Union and Interna tional Longshoremen's Ware housemen's union. north of Lewiston and could be developed if cheap electric pow er were available. Robert Werner, publisher of the weekly Clearwater Tribune at Orofino, Ida., said Idaho was the "most solvent state in the Northwest" and "does, not want its resources exploited by other states and public utility dist ricts." ; The three and a quarter hour hearing adjourned at 6 p.m. af ter 30 witnesses had been heard. About twice that many persons added written statements to the committee record. In a morning meeting at Boise, Idaho Gov. Robert E. Smylie suggested that Congress would do better than to let the Federal Power commission decide on the feasibility of Hells Canyon dam. .
