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.

Mother Wants To Know
Where Food Money Goes
Woe unto the man who doesn't
have his income tax figured and
paid by April 15. 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. Beef and lamb
have gone up a little at the
wholesale level which discour
ages "specials." Best buys are
in ground beef, long slow-cook-.
mg beef cuts; shoulder cuts and
neck slices of lamb. Some good
buys in veal roasts.
Fish and Shellfish. Try a new-
to-the-family variety or fix an
old favorite in a new way.
Plenty of flounder, sole, hali
but, cod, ocean perch, salmon.
clams, Dungeness crabs, oysters,
snnmp and fish sticks.
Other good protein buys in
clude chickens, large and small
turkeys, eggs of excellent quality.
Vegetable Buys. Asparaeus
is the number one vegetable in
the market today. Sween golden
carrots are piled high. New po
tatoes are increasing in supply.
Beets, broccoli, cauliflower,
squash, russet and long wiite po
tatoes, celery, all qualify
as good buys. Plenty of radishes
and little green onions to add
springtime touch to tossed green
salads.
Fruit Department. R h u b arb,
which is used as a fruit even
though it is really a vegetable,
is increasing in quantity and
goodness right along. Dates,
grapefruit, navel oranges and
