$tGHT MEDFfeRD (OREGON) Plans for Dam at Pleasant Valley Approached From Two Directions BY A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The Interior De partment is going ahead, spend ing considerable sums, investi- gating the Pleasant Val ley site to determine whether a high dam is e n gineeringly sound de spite the decis sion by the White House a. sobt. smiui that such a project is not politically sound. The reason for this apparent conflict is not clear. Inasmuch as the administration has made no complete explanation of its policy with respect to this newly controversial Snake river' pro ject downstream from Hells Can yon. But two things are clear: 1. Secretary of Interior Fred A. Seaton continues to believe that a high Pleasant Valley dam would be preferable to the lower dam proposed by Pacific North west Power Co. in conjunction with its proposed Mountain Sheep project. 2. The White House in Feb ruary prevented Seaton from asking the Federal Power Com mission to hold up action on the power company's application so that Interior wduld have suffic ient time to offer full data on a high dam before the license ap plication case is decided. Two Directions So now two agencies are going off in two directions. Interior is spending $217,000 to investigate the Pleasant Valley sile for a high dam; and the FPC is mov ing with deliberate speed to close the pending case, taking no notice whatever of Seaton's high dam idea. Consequently, unless some un foreseen development alters this progression of events very soon, the FPC will have decided the case months before Interior has completed its studies. And if the utility gets its license, the data tor a high dam will be of little value to the government, since the site will go for a lower pro ject. Why should Interior carry for ward its expensive studies under these circumstances? Seaton himself has been un available for comment, for he is recovering from a back opera tion. But last week Interior re leased a statement concerning the situation which a department spokesman candidly said was an effort to counteract published reports by this reporter that the White House has turned thumbs down on Seaton's high dam idea. The statement simply said the department was continuing its high dam studies. It made no ref erence to the critical fact that: leaton Blocked 1. Seaton's original Intent to write a strong letter to the FPC, calling for a delay, was blocked at the White House under pro tests from FPC Chairman Jerome K. Kuykendall. That Seaton was permitted by the White House to write a face-saving letter which made no re quests whatsoever. 2. The FPC, after receiving, the Seaton letter, voted not to' in clude it in the record of the pending case. Kuykendall him self Observed that "the commis sion does not consider that the letter from the secretary of the Interior has any legal effect, substantively or procedurally." Neither Kuykendall nor Sea ton has denied this account of what transpired behind the scene weeks ago. May Ask Explanation Interior claims that the White House has approved its expendi tures for studying the high- dam. Interior alreday has $84,000 in its current operating budget, but the balance of the $217,000 is in the big budget which is now be fore Congress.
