Republican and Democratic legislators quickly chose sides as the three day hearings began yesterday in Sen. Clinton P. An derson's irrigation and reclama tion sub-committee. Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and Henry Dworshak (R-Ida.) were the first to square off. "In public test after public test, the free men and women of the region have voted for the high (Hells Canyon) dam," Morse said. He criticized the Eisen hower administration for sup porting the Bruces Eddy dam in stead of Hells Canyon and said this was a "desperate attempt" to compensate for the greater benefits of the upper Snake river project. Dworshak interrupted and said he "resented" the Oregon sena tor's "inference" that Bruces Eddy was "merely an alterna tive" to Hells Canyon.
