Sen. Meuberger Forecasts Russian
In Power Unless U.S. Policies Are
Washington Failure to use
such sites as Hells Canyon "for
the fullest possible development"
could react to the advantage of
Russia in the worldwide tapping
of energy resources, Senator
Richard L. Neuberger of Oregon
said in a speech in the Senate
recently.
Neuberger cited new hydro
electric projects, now under con
struction in the Soviet Union,

-1 suppose you must have noted
that the unconquerable strait of
Juan de Fuca has been con
ouered at last. This thing that
no one had ever been able to do
before was done the other day
by Bert Thomas, of Tacoma
former U.S. Marine, inciden
tally.
He set out for Port Angeles,
on the Washington side. Eleven
hours and ten minutes after he
slipped into the icy waters of
the strait at Port Angeles he
came out of the water at Vic
toria, some 18 miles away.
Thus the strait of Juan de
Juca joins the English channel
and the Dardenelles. All of them
challenged that strange instinct
in man which leads him to seek
to conquer the unconquerable.
- 1TOOLISH, you say?
There are better things for
men to do than risking their
lives seeking to conquer the un
conquerable? .-Wait a minute.
:. Columbus was driven by that
same urge when he set out to
sail around the world which
men then believed to be flat.
Oh the way around, he stubbed
his toe on the Western Hemis
phere whose existence was not
then even suspected.
- GREAT GOOD TO THE
WORLD has come of that acci
dental discovery.
IITHAT will happen when all
'the earth's unconquerable
have been conquered?
I wouldn't know but listen
to this:
Lawrence Bell, founder of the
Bell Aircraft Corporation, said
In Buffalo the other day that
aviation - has taken one major
step and has two to go. The first
step, he pointed out, was taken
when 'the Wright brothers
proved that man need not be
earthbound.
Our next step, he added, Is to
prove we can operate outside
the earth's atmosphere.
The third step will follow
when we can operate outside the
gravity field of the earth.
ETS leave It there.
That's far enough for man to

productive than any plants on
earth except Grand Coulee. He
declared that these huge Russian
dams are a contrast with the
Republican administration's "ap
parent willingness to surrender
so mighty a site as Hells Canyon
for the puny dams planned by
the Idaho Power company."
Can't Afford 'Sacrifice'
While pointing out that the
United States is still far ahead
in the production of electric pow
er, Neuberger contended that
this country could not afford to
"sacrifice" what he called its
"premium" power sites. He re
minded the Senate that the po
tential water-power output of
the Soviet Union actually is
greater than that of all of North
America, even including such
rivers as the Yukon, the St.
Lawrence and the Athabasca.
Figures compiled by the Joint
Committee on the Economic Re
port showed Russia has a hydro
power potential of 469,000,000,
000 kilowatt hours and all of
North America only 363,920,000,
000 kilowatt hours, Neuberger
said.
"If the Administration's policy
of partial development at Hells
Canyon is followed elsewhere,
our full potential will never be
reached and we will lag behind
in this phase of energy resource
use," he added.
'Ultimate Showdown'
"Water power is the ultimate
showdown phase of the interna
tional contest," said the Oregon
senator, "for water power can be
generated without consuming
such limited resources as oil and
coal. Water power involves only
a renewable resource, which is
replenished with each winter's
snowfall in the . mountains,
whether those mountain 'are

Cleared for Festival
Washington 4U.R) A Russian
drama critic headed for a Shake
speare festival in Stamford,
Conn, today through the "very
pink of courtesy" (Romeo and
Juliet) of the State Department.
Connecticut is off limits to
Soviet citizens. But the Russian
Embassy Saturday, asked the
State Department to "break the
bitter bread of banishment"
(Richard H) and allow Efevgeni
V. Litoshko to cover the event.
The department agreed to do
"no act of common -passage,
but a strain of rareness) (Cymbe-
line). But "lest too light winning
made the prize light" (Tempest),
it waited until late Monday to
approve the trip.
Not wanting to "give dalliance
to much reign" (Tempest), it
gave him permission to stay for
only "several" days.
In a note, Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles told Russia
he hopes it would relax its trav
el restrictions for Americans in
similar circumstances.

The Russians are known to
be building "huge waterpower
projects" at Kuibyshev, Kak
hovka and Stalingrad with a
total installed capacity of about
4,000,000 kilowatts, he said. The
Kuibyshev, dam will eventually
generate 2,000,000 - kilowatts,
Stalingrad 1,700,000 kilowatts,
and Kakhovka 250,000 kilowatts.
He said information from behind
the Iron Curtain indicated the
Gorky power station, a 400,000
kilowatt unit, was to be brought
to full production this year.

United Press To
Have Large Corps
At Geneva Parley
Geneva (U.R) The United
Press put two special bureaus
into operation today to serve as
headquarters for its news and
photo coverage of next week's
historic Big Four conference.
The two conference bureaus,
plus the regular U.P. Geneva
office, will be manned by a large
corps of reporters, writers, pho
tographers and technicians from
U.P. bureaus in Washington,
London, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt
and Bonn.
Tatarian in Charge
The special news staff -in Ge
neva will be headed by Roger
Tatarian, U.P. "general European
news manager. Merriman Smith,
U.P. White House reporter, will
fly here from Washington to cov
er President Eisenhower's activ-'
ities.
Other editors and reporters
whom the U.P. is planning to
send to the conference are Gene
Patterson, manager of the Lon
don bureau; Joseph W. Grigg,
U.P. manager for Germany;
Karol C; Thaler and Kenneth
Miller, diplomatic correspond
ents from the London bureau;
Henry Shapiro, for 15 years
U.P. bureau manager in Moscow;
Rudy Wechmar, chief diplomatic
correspondent in Bonn, and Ger
ard de Sede of the Paris bureau.
The conference staff will also
include Melville Mark, U.P. res
ident correspondent in Geneva.
Central Building
The main U.P. conference
news bureau is located in the
Geneva Electoral palace which
has been designated by Swiss
authorities as the central press
building for the conference.
It will be linked with U.P.'s
European leased wire network
by a special teletype circuit that
will carry conference news ex
clusively. The U.'P. newspictures bur
eau for the conference also will
be located in the Electoral Pal
ace. Special darkroom and tele
photo facilities are being install
ed to enable the fastest possible
transmission of newspictures by
wire or radio to any receiving
point in the world. The photo
staff will be headed by Leo J.
Stoecker, U.P. executive news
pictures editor for Europe.
TO
Advantage
Revised
called cold war will last, and we
cannot abandon or neglect the
interests of Americans of the
future," Neuberger stated.
. "The magnitude of the power
developments now being under
taken by Russia are sufficiently
impressive to give any patriotic
American pause and during
this pause, that Americans might
well want to review that attitude
of the present Republican admin
istration toward such power sites
as Hells Canyon," he added.
"In the struggle between the
free world and the Soviet world,
energy reserves will play, a de
cisive role in the ultimate pro
duction of nuclear weapons, as
well as more conventional arm
aments. Energy also is decisive
in the manufacture of the ar
ticles of peace, those manufac
tured goods which contribute to
a nation's living standards. In
the race to maintain leadership
in the cold war, 'our nation
should not be led down a course
which will reduce the number of
kilowatts needed for the future,"
Senator Neuberger concluded.
