EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, April 5. 1957 High Hells Dam Backers Whipped But Reluctant To Publicly Say So A. Robt. Smith By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washintgon The advocates of a high dam in Hells Canyon have finally been whipped. They will not admit this pub licly, amid brave talk of pushing a high dam bill through Congress , this spring. But privately they concede the votes just are not there to pass it. There were some fond hopes that the Supreme Court in its non-politi cal wisdom would see fit to re view the Hells Canyon decision and possibly overturn the lower court opinion which held that the Federal Power Commission acted within its authority in is suing a license to Idaho Power Co. for dams in the Hells Can yon reach of the Snake river. When the high court this past week declined to review the case, only Justice Wiliam O. Douglas was formally recorded in favor of taking the case under review. This does not necessarily mean that he was the only jus tice taking that side when the nine justices took up the matter in the privacy of their weekly Friday sessions, ..but he was the only one who wanted to be pub licly recorded in dissent from the will of the majority. Black's Support Eyed ' There was some hope that Jus tice Hugo Black, an ex-senator from Alabama who championed public development of river ba sins, might be favorably dis posed; or Justice Felix Frank furter, another old New Dealer; or even Chief Justice Earl War ren, who as California governor, along with other western gov ernors, attended the press con ference in 1953 at which Doug las McKay announced the ad ministration's 'Hells Canyon de cision, and let it be known his presence did not constitute an endorsement. Since the Hells Canyon appeal did not get the required nod of four justices to bring a review, all this is now cast into the realm of wishful thinking. Pretty much the same thing seems to be the case with the talk of putting a Hells Canyon bill through the Senate this spring. Nothing has happened since last summer to change sub stantially the 10-vote margin by which the high dam federal au thorization bill was defeated. If anything, the climate has wors ened. True, Idaho has turned out Sen. Herman Welker, a violent critic of the high dam, and elect ed Democrat Frank Church, a co-sponsor of the Morse Hells Canyon bill. Welker reportedly had made a deal or two with some of the eight southern Dem ocrats who opposed the Morse bill last year, trading a promise to oppose civil rights legislation in return for their votes against Hells Canyon. Since he was a member of the committee han dling civil rights, Welker had a good bargaining position. 'Wayne Needs Bill' On the other hand, a strong appeal was made within Demo cratic ranks in the Senate that "Wayne needs this bill" to bol ster his reelection chances against McKay in Oregon last fall. This was also said in behalf of Sen. Warren G. Magnuson of Washington, who was being op posed by another high dam crit ic, Arthur B. Langhe. In the absence of this pressure today there is the strongest econ omy mood that has prevailed in Congress in some years, brought on by the angry response many citizens are making to the record peacetime budget. The Hells Canyon bill wouldn't add to that budget now, but everyone knows it would have to be paid for later on if built. Moreover, Idaho Power is far ther along now on its dam con struction program in Hells Can yon, and there is a psychological block, it seems, against the idea of Congress voting to flood out this work and reimburse the company for its trouble at a time when budget-cutting is the hope of every member of Congress who is at all anxious about his chances next election. Hence, the administration will have less trouble than last year in lining up votes against the bill. Like an old soldier, high Hells Canyon will refuse to die. It will just gradually fade away. Beekeepers fo Hold Training School Here The Rogue Valley Beekeepers association will conduct a bee keepers training school at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, at Bigham hall on the county fairgrounds. Dr. W.

While Father figures income versus out-go and the resultant tax, Mother just wants to know where on earth the food money goes Well we've news for her. Food economists tell us that the average family spends one-half of the food money for good body building protein foods; meats, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products; one-fifth goes for potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables. The re maining three-tenths goes for flour and other cereal products, bakery products, fats and oils and other foods. It has been noted that our food bills are higher than a year ago, however it also is true that more and more foods are bought partially or wholly prepared for serving. Too, we are eating more meals and snacks away form home. Meat Department Buys. Since proteins take up. so much of our food money let's see where we can save. Pork, fresh, smoked and cured, leads the meat depart ment. Lions, ribs and sausages are very good buys. As Easter approaches hams are featured I more and more.
