Announced by IPC
By UNITED PRESS
Die-hard opponents of private
development of Hells Canyon
shouted "foul" today as Idaho
Power Company signed with
Morrison-Knudsen Company for
construction of the first two
units of the utility company's
three-dam project on the Snake
river.
Neuberger Haps Pacts
"On the day that Idaho Power
Company takes over Hells Can
yon, it will be digging the grave
yard of full regional develop
ment of public power in the Pa
cific Northwest," said Sen. Rich
ard Neuberger (D - Ore.), a I

Mrs. Evelyn Cooper, chief coun
sel for the National Hells Can
yon association, a public power
group.
Sees Political Purpose
Interviewed in Washington,
Mrs. Cooper called the contract
signing an effort by Idaho Power
to "make the best possible show
it can during the period of liti
gation' for public relations and
political purposes.
Mrs. . Cooper said New York
underwriting firms were not go-
ing to provide the kind of financ
ing the company would need
during the "litigation," which
she predicted would take two
years.
The Hells Canyon association
has said it will appeal the FPC

has filed no legal action.

Portland (U.R) Attorneys for
Victor Laurence Wolf indicated
today they may seek a psychia
trie examination of the 45-year-
old electrician who has confess

Kermit Smith last April.
Charles E. Raymond and Nich
olas Granet, court appointed at
torneys, said a request for ap
pointment of a psychiatrist to
examine Wolf wae drawn up
ready for filing. Raymond said
such a test might lead to a re
quest for permission to with
draw Wolfs guilty plea. ,
A jury in McMinnville last
week found Mrs. Marjorie Smith
innocent of any part in the slay

climax last Aug. 4 when the
Federal Power Commission li
censed the private utility's plan.
To Start Soon
T. E. Roach, Idaho Power
Company president who signed
the contract with the world's
greatest dam building firm, an
nounced the award just five days
after FPC approval of design
plans for Brownlee and Oxbow
last Friday.
"Work will commence immed
iately," Roach said. "The con
tractor and the company will
begin moving men, materials and
machinery nto the project area
as rapidly as possible . . .
Brownlee, to be 395 feet in
height and the largest of the
three dams and Oxbow, the
"baby" at 205 feet, are the two
upstream units in the company's
development of the 100-mile
stretch of the Snake along the
Oregon-Idaho line. The canyon,
flanked by the perpetual snow
mountains of Oregon's rugged
Wallowas and the Seven Devils
mountains of Idaho, is one of
the last major undeveloped pow
er sites in the nation.
Third Dam Waits
Design plans for Hells Canyon
dam, the third unit, in the heart
of the 7,000-foot chasm have not
yet been approved by the FPC.
But the company is not antici
pating any difficulty in securing
the authorization since its li
cense covers total development
of the area. I
Federal power advocates
sought a single, so-called "high"
dam in Hells Canyon to develop
the same "00-mile stretch of the
river known, as - Hells Canyon
reach. , - . ' .
When complete, the three-dam
project will supply 783,400 kilo
watts of installed capacity to
Idaho Power's service area with
provision for additional genera
tors bringing ultimate capacity
of the dams to 1,175,000 KW.
Parade Tomorrow
Starting at 11 a.m.
The Veterans day parade will
start at about 11 a.m., from the
Library park, and will go east
on Main st.
Other observances of the day
will include breakfasts at the
American Legion and Veterans
of Foreign Wars buildings.
Mostly, however, business will
continue as usual with some ex
ceptions. Governmental offices, includ
ing the Public library and the
liquor store will be closed.
There will be no mail deliver
ies. Most retailers will remain
open, but lumber and millwork
retail firms and barbershops
will close.
Log hauling will be permitted
Friday although earlier it was
banned by the state highway
commission, which late this mor
ning reversed its decision. All
offices in the Medford Labor
Temple will be closed both Fri
day and Saturday, except La
borers' Local 1400 which will
be open Saturday morning.

Smoggy Heat Wave
Hits Bay Region
For Fourth Day
By UNITED PRESS
A smelly, smog-ridden heat
wave broiled California for the
fourth straight day today.
No cool weather was expected
until tomorrow at the earliest

San Francisco.
Meanwhile,, a cold wave was
expected to drop temperatures 50

The weather wasn't much
kinder to the vacationland of
Florida, where a disturbance in
the Eastern Gulf of Mexico sent
torrential rains sweeping inland.
Heavy Rainfall
Both Daytona Beach and Or

The East Coast also reported
some of the coldest temperatures
of the day. The mercury stood

Treatment of heart failure
with newly developed wonder
drugs may have worse effects
than no treatment at all, Dr.
Albert Kattus Jr. told about 60
doctors at a meeting of the Jack

the Medford hotel last night.
Dr. Kattus, who spoke on hy
pertension and congestive heart

cure for heart trouble and that
the drugs must not be used indis
criminately. Kattus is associate

Washington U.R) The
United States today increased

"friendship for all of the peoples
of the area" both Jews and
Arabs.
- For the short-range, the Presi
dent firmly supported United
Nations plans to gain a cease
fire between Israel and Egypt.
. For the more distant future,
the President again threw his
support behind Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles' plan
to arrange boundary guarantees
which would be supported by
the United States and other U.N.
members.'
No Formal Reply
Israel has given a conditional
acceptance of the American plan..
But the Arab states have not
given a formal reply although
they have complained that it
was one-sided in favor of the
Israelis.
Mr. Eisenhower voiced his i
new . hopes for a Middle East
settlement in a statement read
to reporters at Denver by Acting
Secretary of State Herbert Hoov
er Jr.
The President said the United
States would not contribute to
an arms race but is "willing to
consider requests for arms need
ed for legitimate self - de
fense ..." ......
"' This further cleared the way
for delivery of some defensive
weapons to Israel if the United
States decides such action is
necessary to offset Communist
bloc arms to Egypt.
Lehman Urges Pact
Other developments:
1. The State Department told
Sen. Herbert H. Lehman (D-NY)
that his plan for easing Middle
East tensions "most certainly
deserves detailed study." Leh
man had proposed that the
United States negotiate "a secur
ity pact with Israel, guarantee
ing that country against aggres
sion, with parallel guarantees
extended to Egypt and other
neighbors of Israel."
2. It was learned that U. S. of
ficials have concluded that the
200 modern Russian jet planes
to be supolied to Egypt could
give Egypt military, superiority
over Israel in six months to a
year. Informed quarters here
assumed this assessment would
increase Israel's chances of get
ting American jet fighters.

Till Kidnaping
Suspects Freed
Greenwood, Miss. ' U.R)
The Emmett Till kidnap-slaying
case is closed, a prosecutor said
today, but the furor over "Mis
sissippi justice" stirred up by
the Negro boy's fate raged on.
A Grand Jury of 20 white men
late yesterday revealed its re
fusal to indict Roy Bryant,' 24,
and J. W. Milam, 36, on a charge
of kidnaoing the 14-year-old
Chicago boy they already had
been acquitted of murdering.
Leflore county authorities
could ask the next Grand Jury
to indict Bryant and Milam, but
Dist. Atty. Stanny Sanders said,
"as far as I know, the case is
closed."
-. The men admitted kidnaping
the boy at gun point, because
they thought he was "the one"
who insulted Bryant's wife with
an indecent proposal and a "wolf
whistle." They said they freed
Till unharmed after deciding he
was not "the one."

The agreements call for the
barter of Egptian cotton for East
German manufactured goods.
that maintenance costs, would
be excessive' because a portion
of the road would pass through
an area of deep snow, Wendt
said.
Members, of the Jackson
county court feel that the road
should be closed for a' time dur

maintenance expenses. -
The Klamath court believes
that the higway is necessary,
Wendt said, but that the cost of
construction and maintenance
would be more than their county
could afford.
Russia Calls For
Nuclear Ban, Cut
In Armed Forces
Other Disarmament
Plans To Get Study
Geneva (U.R). Russia called
today for reduction of armed
forces and a ban on nuclear
weapons, and agreed to consider
President Eisenhower's "open
skies" plan for aerial inspection
and exchange of military blue
prints.
Soviet Foreign Minister V. W.
Molotov offered these proposals
in a plan submitted to the Big
Four conference as it plunged
for the first time into a debate
on disarmament.
He submitted the plan as a
new proposal. But much of what
it contained was a repetition of
earlier Soviet disarmament
plans put forward last May and
again by Premier Nikolai Bul
ganin at the Summit Conference
here in July.
"Consider" Plan
The Molotov proposals did not
accept in so many words Presi-
dent Eisenhower s plan, which
was put before the heads of gov
ernment conference last sum
mer.
It merely agreed that the
President's planj as well as the
disarmament proposals of Great
Britain and France, should be
"considered" as part of the Big
Four efforts to end the arma
ments race.
The three western foreign
ministers and their ftp aides met
before hand in a last-minute ef
fort to patch together something
like a united front on disarma
ment a question on which they
themselves never have attained
unity.
Informed western officials
said they agreed to:
1. Press the Soviets for a reply
to existing western disarmament
plans.
2. Put forward no new west
ern proposals at the present con
ference.
3. Urge that the whole dis
armament issue be turned back
to the U.N. subcommittee which
has been working on it for
months.
The West was tipped off that
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov planned a full-scale fili
buster to force the r urrent con
ference into a proldfcged discus
sion of disarmament! .
n-i. i i-
- iiie westexxi mnJlsiers re
lieved Molotov's cryptic remark
in Moscow last Sunday about
bringing "better baggage" back
to Geneva might indicate he
had a whole series of new dis
armament plans ready. .
But they were not optimistic '
that he had anv serious conces
sions to offer on the question of
disarmament, any more than he
had on security and Germany.
In the background was Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles'
acid question, "I wonder wheth
er agreements with the Soviet
Union are worthwhile?"
