Chants of House Passing Bill on
ells Canyon Held Unfavorable
By X. ROBERT SMITH
Mill Troon Correspoaaeot
V. ashirg-nn Prospects of the
House of representatives pass
ing tl Hells Canyon dam bill
before Con
gress adjourns
ftobt Smiu i " " nouse,
however, is traditionally more
consfvative than is the Senate,
especially on large public works
undertakings tt ith a bis federal
price tag. Southwestern senators
have twice put fiiair Central Ari
zona project bill through the
upper chamber only to see it net
rijhts issue which the adminis
tration is pressing.
Iri.ho Power's renunciation of
its tax privileges the night be
fore the Senate voted seemed to
come too late to be most effec
tive in eliminating that as a
look anything ! talking point against private de
but favorable velopment of Hells Canyon. It is
for the backers doubtful that this will have as
of the high dam much influence on the House as
who successful-1 it had on the Senate,
ly put itj The big question in the House
through tl a j will be what will most conserva
Senate lat tive southern Democrats do? If
Speaker Sam Rayburn cracks
the whip and makes it a party is
sue, as seems likely, he will line
up a good number of them, un
less some unusual circumstances
prevail at the moment.
Pleased with Support
Some contend that the main
reason southern senators voted
for Hells Canyon in greater num
stalled in the Boue, mostly duejbers this year than last is that
to opposition from California s j they were pleased with the sup-
big congressional dlralion. me : port they had received the previ
Senate hit i;sS4 the frryingpan
Arkansas project for Colorado in
the past, but the House has re
fused. And the Upper Colorado
storage project, which breezed
through the Senate, squeaked
through the House after a tough
battle.
Advert Reaction
Most observers aree that two
factors influenced the favorable
vote this year, as compared with
Its defeat last year of Hells Can
yon. They were adverse reaction
to the Idaho Power Co.'s fast tax
write-off, and the reaction of
touthern senators over the civil
ous day from a group of western
Democrats in their effort to send
the civil rights bill to committee.
Others think it was because the
southerners were sore at the ad
ministration for pressing the civil
rights bill, and Hells Canyon was
a good issue on which to embar
rass the administration.
But assuming the southerners
are passing out favors to their
friends in the civil rights fight,
the person who stands in the
strongest position to gain in the
House is the one western con
gressman who stood with the
South against the s civil rights
bill. He is Rep Hamer Budge,
! the Idaho Republican w ho is the
hardest working foe of the Hells
Canyon dam bill.
Understanding Claimed
Budge is among those who
claim that Sen. Wayne Morse
land Sen. Warren G. Magnuson
and other western Democrats had
some understanding with the
southerners to trade votes on civ
il rights for Hells Canyon. But
when asked whether he might
I now cash in on the same sort of
trade. Budge denies any such mo-
tives in his vote against the civil
rights bill.
; ' I'd never vote for a civil
j rights bill without a jury trial
i provision," he explained. "Why
a jury trial is an American as
the hot dog stand."
The Eisenhower administra
tion opposed the jury trial
amendment which southern seg
regationists had tried to insert
in the bill.
In the end the Hells Canyon
bill may be passed or defeated by
some momentary current that is
running through the more sensi
tive House, whose 435 members
are harder to control by their
party leaders than are the 96
senators.
