ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The Hells Can yon dam authorization bill came to an ignominious end in the House this past week, lest a miracle be performed to revive it, because the House Interior Committee is e s s e n t i ally even more conserva t i v e than the House a aobt smitb ltseii. The bloc of liberal Democrats that succeeded in putting the bill through the Senate in June has few political kinsmen on the House Interior Committee. And Hells Canyon divided liberals from conservatives pretty sharp ly because it had become a major symbol for both sides of the public vs. private ower fight. Consequently, opponents of Hells Canyon bill found an usier time mustering sufficient otes to move in and try to kill It off quickly. On, the Republican side, there Were no GOP liberals like those in the Senate who bolted from the party position to support the Hells Canyon bill. The only wavering Republican was Rep. 4. Edgar Chenoweth of Colorado, vho voted for Hells Canyon last ear in hopes it would improve hances of his Fryingpan Arkansas reclamation project toeing enacted. Project Seen Goner Democrats are still working i Chenoweth, it is said, in an effort to swing him around once more. They say if he doesn't vote for Hells Canyon, his pet project is a goner. But Cheno weth reportedly had concluded his bill is not going to pass any way, so he may as well stick with his party on Hells Canyon. Chenoweth almost was defeated last November, mostly because of failure to Congress to pass his Irrigation bill. On the Democratic side, the four southern Democrats split evenly, two going with the northerners and two siding with the Republicans against Hells Canyon. Rep. George Shuford of North Carolina voted against the bill last year, and it is said he wouldn't change his vote for anything in the world. Rep. James A. Haley of Florida joined Shuford this year to give the GOP the votes they needed to kill the bill. Haley, a cigar smoking former manager of Ringling Brothers circus, is a conservative who registers his greatest impact in being against many measures sought by westerners. Speaker Sam Bayburn has re portedly tried with all his au thority and power to move these two Democrats away from their 1 anti-Hells Canyon stand, with out success. One observer noted toe late that Shuford had spon sored a bill to erect a fish hatch ery in his district, and it was let slide easily through Congress before Hells Canyon came up and before anyone realized it might have been a bargaining point on Hells Canyon. Rarely Attends Meetings remaps me most curious position was that taken by Rep Adam Clayton Powell, the New Yorker who doubles as congress man and preacher and is the husband of pianist Hazel Scott. Powell rarely attends meetings of the Interior Committee, and so on close votes he gives his proxy to the side the favors. Re pprtedly he gave several proxies to backers of the Hells Canyon bill, as he had last year. But suddenly last week he withdrew his proxies without explanation. Democrats from Harry Tniman to Eleanor Roose velt are reported to have tried to dissuade Powell from his re treat. Not only did they fail, but there is a report that Powell has prepared a proxy for the oppon ents of Hells Canyon, just in case they need it. Some contend that Powell's defection has nothing to do with the merits of Hells Canyon but is linked to a noticeable friend ship he has displayed during the past year for the Eisenhower ad ministration. He supported Eisenhower instead of Stevenson last November. And some say this is linked to the fact that the Internal Revenue Bureau is in vestigating his tax returns. Every Dollar Invested In College Education Said To Return S12.50 Atomic 'Dud' Due To Be Fired Friday Las Vegas, Nev. HP The Atomic Energy Commisison has set Friday for the firing of the atomic device which failed to go o June 28 and was disarmed by five scientists. The shot,. called Diablo, didn't go off because of a power fail ure.

By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York OP) Wall Street experts calculate that for every dollar that you invest in a col lege education, you get back $12.50. That's a re turn of 1,150 per cent which market men say is one of the best invest ments a person can make. Limer Waizer These figures are deduced from an item in Brevits, a publication of a group of investment companies of the Massachusetts Investors Trust. On the average, a college graduate can expect to make about $100,000 more during his lifetime than a person with only a mgn scnool diploma, says Brevits. This is a potential re turn of $25,000 for each year in college at a cost overall of about $2,000. Tuition Fees Listed Brevits lists tuition fees for 10 representative colleges, show ing an average increase in the past 10 years of 69 per cent. The increases vary between 70 and 100 per cent in a period when subway fares in New York have risen 200 per cent and the cost of living has gone up a similar amount all over. In the period since the close of 1956 to the present the Dow Jones industrial and railroad averages have risen more than 185 per cent. That, of course, is the reason for the article the idea that educational costs will probably rise again in the next decade and the way to guard against that rise is by investing in stocks. Brevits gives an example of one of its funds, the Boston Fund. It says that $100 a month invested in that fund and rein vestment of dividends over the past 10 years would have brough a total today of $21,439. Suggests Building Fund The article suggests building of an educational fund with se curities well larded with com mon stocks, and notes "while stock ' values on occasion have run counter to the trend of liv ing costs, they have, over the long term, proved effective as an inflation hedge." Balance is stressed, too, and the fund referred to includes preferred stocks and bonds which accounts for its rise being less than that of the averages of stocks alone. The investments, of course, are in securities that fluctuate in value, Brevits points out, "and because of this there can b' no assurance that future re sults will be the same as the past." In spite of limiting factors, Brevits asserts, "this kind of program has offered a good measure of protection against the increase in educational costs."

Grier, president and manager of General Credit Ser vice, Inc., Medford, was elected first vice president of American Collectors association at the group's recent 18th annual con vention in Chicago.

Ike's Legislation Faces Scrap Heap Washington (IB Some of President Eisenhower's pet leg islation appeared destined today to wind up on the scrap heap as the -result of the long fight expected over civil rights. Congress ordinarily would be shooting for adjournment about the end of the month. But with predictions the rights fight may last through August, some, but not much legislation will be passed after that. Congress has still to pass the foreign aid bill but final approv al may have to await the end of the rights debate. The same with two other appropriations bills 'for defense and agricul ture. The row over rights will drive the last nail into the coffin of fhe federal aid to school mea sure, already considered a cas ualty of the budget battle. A bill to increase postal rates was as good as posted in Con gress' dead letter office. And any chance for passage of bills to broaden minimum wage cov erage and provide Hawaiian statehood, both unlikely pros pects anyway at the beginning of the years, went out the window.
