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.

Freighters
Have you ever considered an
ocean journey by freighter? This
type of travel has a great appeal
to those who have a bit of wand
erlust in their character. There
are innumerable passenger car

48 European freighter lines ca
ter to passengers. I once took
a trip on a French freighter and

Oregonians Differ
On FPC Decision
For Hells Canyon
By UNITED PRESS
The Federal Power Commis
sion decision granting Idaho
Power Company's application to
build three dams in the Hells
Canyon stretch of the Snake
river brought forth words of
bitter criticism and glowing
praise from Oregonians today.
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. Neuberger said 'The
surrender of the priceless re
sources of the Columbia Basin
to private monopoly is underway.
