FPC Action Matches
That Taken 2 Years
Ago by Ida ho Company
Washington, D. C (Special)
Senator Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.)
said here that "There is an ex
traordinary coincidence between
the terms of the Federal Power
Commission decision in the Hells
Canyon case and action taken by
the Idaho Power Company two
yrs ago. The Commission 'just
happened' to require the Com
pany to build two dams; the
Company 'just happened' to ap
ply in August, 1953 for quick
tax write-off certificates for two
of the three dams for which it
was seeking licenses; the two
daftis in each case 'just hap
pened' to be the same two dams.

Burglary Suspects
Caught at Woodburn
Salem (U.R) Two men
wanted by Yakima, Wash., au
thorities on charges of burglary
were arrested at Woodburn,
north of Salem Friday, the Mar
ion county sheriff's office re
ported. Deputies said Frank Montaz
and Gregorio Luna tried to
make a break for freedom when
they spotted Yakima authorities
and a Marion county deputy
sheriff.
The two were brought to the
county pail here and later re
leased to the officers from Yaki
ma. A third man, whose name
was not disclosed escaped and
the search for him continued.
Officers said warrants for ar
rest of the men stemmed from
a burglary at Yakima Aug 7.

accelerated amortization certif
icates covering its Brownlee and
Oxbow projects, but not for the
third dam, Little Hells Canyon.
The FPC hearings on all three
applications had begun only a
few weeks before.
"Two years later, in August,
1955 the Federal Power. Commis
sion in granting license for the
three dams, so worded its condi
tions for construction of Little
Hells Canyon that the Idaho
Power Company can delay its
construction beyond the 9 years
required in the license.' More
over, the Commission can cancel
the license altogether if the Com
pany's power market is insuffic
ient to use Little Hells Canyon's
output.
"Is the Company's prophetic
talent sufficient to explain why
the Idaho Power Company ap
parently knew two years before
date of issuance of their licenses
that it would not have to build
Little Hells Canyon if it did not
want to? If the Company had ac
tually wanted to build this third
project, it would have applied
to ODM for subsidization at the
expense of the Nation's taxpay
ers, just as it did in the case of
Brownlee and Oxbow.
"If the Company expected that
the terms of the license award
for Little Hells Canyon would re
quire construction without any
it's and's and but's, Idaho Power
would also have applied for a
quick write-off.
These Company and Commis
sion actions fit so perfectly that
it taxes the imagination to be
lieve that they are coincidence.
When the Interior Committee
and Anti-Monopoly Subcommit
tee of the Senate begin their
hearings on the FPC handling of
the Hells Canyon case I shall
urge that this matter be given
the closest and most searching
inquiry."

Threatening Call
Reported by Woman
Portland (U.R) Police Sat
urday revealed that Mrs. Lizzie
Sheppard, who has accused a
Portland pastor of assaulting her
and one of her children, received
a threatening telephone call Fri
day night.
Mrs. Sheppard, a 28-year-old
Negro woman who is expecting
her fifth child, said she got quite
a few phone calls Friday, most of
them very sympathetic "except
this- one."
"When this man called he
didn't give his name he told me
to close up and get the hell out
of town," the woman said. She
didn't know who the caller was.
Mrs. Sheppard has accused the
Rev. Elbert D. Riddick, pastor of
the Church of the Good Shepherd
of attacking her and her five-year-old
son, Charles, with a rake
as they walked past his church
Thursday.
Riddick was arrested on an as
sault and battery charge follow
ing the alleged assault, and re
leased later on his own recog
nizance. The pastor received some pub
licity some time ago because of
his stand against civil liberties.

More than 200 men from forest
service and Bureau of Land Man
agement fire crews, augmented
by pick-up labor were working
the blaze, located 15 miles north
east of Burns.
Herrin said the line was re
established around the fire Sat
urday morning, but there were so
many "hot spots' 'it could not be
considered under control.
The fire was fed by sagebrush,
grass, mahogany and juniper, but
some stands of timber at its
north end were blackened. The
fire began on private and BLM
land, but moved into the forest
protective area of the Malheur
National Forest
The blaze was caused by a
"dry electrical" storm, the forest
service said.
Senate Groups Set
September Hearing
On Hells Canyon
Washington (U.R) Two
Senate subcommittees have an
nounced "coordinate hearings"
next month on public and pri
vate power programs.
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, (D
Wyo.), said the investigations
will cover four major subjects:
Hells Canyon Listed
1. The Hells Canyon contro
versy, including the proposed
federal construction of a hjgh
dam on the Snake river. The
Federal Power commission has
issued licenses for construction
by private utilities of three low
dams on the same river.
2. Proposed merger of Puget
Sound Light and Power comp
any with the Washington Water
Power company. Both are pri
vate utilities in Washington
state.
3. Past, present and planned
Interior department policies on
the power preference clause at
federal hydroelectric plants.
The clause gives public agencies,
cooperatives, and other non-profit
organziations priority in buy
ing electricity.
Partnership Program
4. The administration's "part
nership" power program, includ
ing its origin and aims.
O'Mahoney said he had been
designated acting chairman of
the Anti-Monopoly subcommit
tee of the Senate Judiciary com
mittee, which he said is especial
ly concerned with the Puget
Sound merger. It involves a
proxy fight. He said he would
confer with Sen. Clinton P. An
derson (D-N.M.), chairman of the
Irrigation and Reclamation sub
committee of the Senate Interior
Committee, which is interested
in the other topics, to work out
details of the hearings which
will begin Sept. 19.
