On The Side (Distributed by King Most women think they are ballroom dancers. It isn't so. Just as many women need danc ing instruction as men. Too many women try to lead their part ners. Also many women cling too closely to their partners. They have sort of a clutching vine attitude. Then many fe males take back steps that are too short. This causes their part ners to step on their feet. Of course the men, poor fellows, then get blamed for being clum sy dancers.

Democratic National Commit teeman Monroe Sweetland said "we will find some way ... to invalidate this raid, the worst since Teapot Dome." McKay Hails Decision Interior Secretary Douglas McKay hailed the FPC decision as a "wise" one. "It was based on engineering facts and econom ics, not on emotions," he said at Neskowin where he is vaca tioning. The National Hells Canyon Association threatened court ac tion to forestall construction of the dams. Gov. Paul Patterson praised the decision saying the most im portant point is that "it gives up approximately 800,000 kilo watts of power by 1964, which is the period of the critical power shortage now confronting the Northwest." 'Fantastic' Ruling Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.) said he was glad the FPC decision was ' unanimous. Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) called it "a fan tastic ruling." Rep. Harris Ells worth (R-Ore.) said "I have al ways looked at it as an engineer ing problem." Rep. Walter Nor blad (R-Ore.) was reported driv ing home from Washington and was not available for comment. Democratic Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard Neuberger were critical of it. Morse said the battle was far from over.
